The Conservatorie Pigment Swatches

It's been a while I know! No excuses, but I have been super busy. Anyways, I made an order from The Conservatorie not too long ago and I wanted to show the swatches of the Mica pigments I purchased from them. The Conservatorie is a wholesale make-up ingredient supplier as well as packaging and normal make-up. If you sign-up for their e-mails you'll receive a code for 15% off your first order (hint: WELCOME). There is a $20 minimum but honestly, I found that pretty easy to surpass!

Anyways, here is the swatches. Hopefully this will be helpful to someone because I know there are very few pigment swatches from The Conservatorie available online. Plus I know there descriptions and online photos can suck but there prices are good. So here we are:

T-B: Orange Sorbet, Hot Pink, Pink Lady, Bubblegum Pink, Strawberry Daiquiri, Peach Sunset, Mango Margarita, Lemon Drop, Peak Green, Golden Green, Apple Martini

 All swatches were done over Darling Girl Glitter Glue, which gives the pigments a wet or super intense look.
That's all for now but I'm hoping to get back into blogging soon!

A England Mythicals on for only 5 Pounds!

Yep, if you've wanted one of the a-england Mythical polishes NOW is the time to get one! They are on for only 5 days for only 5 GBP (or pounds) this is an amazing deal because a-england polish is excellent and is normally 9 pounds each. Plus as always there is Free international shipping. Click Here for the Mythicals collection

As for me, I know I've been slacking. I should have another post up soon but lately I've been working on a surprise for you all plus I've not been wearing much makeup other than tinted moisturizer and sunscreen as I'm at the cottage (with limited internet). I've not abandoned everyone! Just waiting for more inspiration because a bunch of things in the make-up world haven't impressed me much lately. For example Revlon after 22 years of being cruelty-free has decided to hire another company to do animal testing for them. *shakes head in disgust*

Anyways, hope everyone has a lovely Wednesday!

Ozotic 533~ A stunning colour changing holographic polish!

One of my happiest purchases lately has been Ozotic 533. This is a Periwinkle blue shade that changes to denim blue, violet and even rose depending on the lighting. It also has holographic sparkle in it. Pictured it is two coats over A England Gwenivere  but the coats were thick enough I didn't really need the base colour as I thought I was going too. 

They are no longer producing any more of these shades so be sure to pick them up while they're still available. I purchased mine through the Llarowe website.









Yes those pictures are all of the same polish! The staying power on this one was excellent (very little chipping until it grew out so I took it off) though the formula needs to dry a bit longer than average between coats to prevent dragging.

These average around $15 USD and though that puts them as expensive to me I think they're worth the price! The four Ozotic 'mish mash' shades (multichrome holographic combinations) are 531, 532, 533 and 534. Do you have any shades that have blown you away lately?

Sprite Rating: 9.5/10 (lost a half point for slight dragging issues)

Would I Buy it Again? YES! Such an amazing shade!
