Review: High Voltage Cosmetics

A little over a month ago, I entered a contest to create a label for a makeup company... and I won! Jasmine, the lovely owner of High Voltage Cosmetics sent me an awesome prize of 10 eyeshadows, 1 eyeshadow base, and 2 lip candies (I'll do a review on them later). I was able to choose all the colours as well!

There were too many gorgeous shades to choose from, so after a loooong time of browsing the pages, I narrowed it down to 10 colours (applied over the provided base):

1. Moonshine

2. HI-FI

3. Secret Weapon

4. No Rain

5. Paradise City

6. Secrets & Lies

7. Roadie

8. Rule Breaker

9. Cupid's Arrow

10. I'm with the Band

These are all highly (highly!) pigmented, they apply and blend with total ease, and you can't beat Jasmine's prices on highvoltagecosmetics.com. Not relying on a manufacturer, she makes everything with her own two hands. I give her company and the products 5/5, and I wish her all the best!

Review: i-mark Shadows

I bought these 8 eyeshadows a few months ago, and after some usage I decided to do a review on them!

1. Rebel: a pretty white with shimmer

2. Glitterati: a glittery light silver

3. Dragonfly: "Granny Smith" apple green

4. Vintage Khaki: deep green/gold, lots of shimmer

5. Apple: a pretty coral pink

6. Picadilly: a beautiful matte purple

7. Corset: a deep black, shimmery with a blue hue

8. Retro Peacock: a beautiful deep dark blue

Two, 4, 6, 7, and 8 are very pigmented. One, 3 and 5 would take a few applications to really 'pop'. Overall for $6/each (CAD) I think they're a great deal. They are a nice size at 2.5g (weight of 0.08oz). I also bought the magnatized Snap to it Mega Custom Palette to put them in. I give 4/5 stars.
