Battie Bows is where it's at!!!!

As everyone knows, YouTube makes the beauty community learn about new brands, products and smaller companies. Thus I was watching one of the many videos in my subscription box, I noticed a haul from Battie Bows. 

I thought what is offered at Battie Bows is super adorable and a pretty good price. Thus I decide it was time to place an order for some fun, cute and girly goodies!!! Battie Bows, is a home run bow company that one of fellow YouTubers in the Beauty community started about a month ago, check out her YouTube Channel.

I placed an order on 7/12 with Battie Bows, I wanted to get a special something for my friend's 30th birthday present...plus a little something for me. Ideally I wanted Harajuka Themed Bottle Caps (for my friend) and Sons of Anarchy (for me). What was nice about letting Kyrsay know what type of pictures I wanted on the items, but the fact that she sent me a total of 12 different pictures to choose from (6 for Harajuka and 6 for SOA). So I picked out my favorite from each section and went on to decide what type of actual items I wanted (plus with the items that were bow items...I also decided on the type of ribbon they were to be put on).

I purchased by items via PayPal on 7/14, paying a total of $19.75, which included $3.00 for Shipping and handling (which is a great price) and $16.75 for actual products. **I will include a list of what I actually purchased as well as pricing**

I received my products on 7/27...and boy was it like Christmas!!!

Once my friend opens up her birthday gifts I will make sure to add a few pictures to this blog post, so you can see the other awesome products Battie Bows offers.

I was/am very satisfied with Battie Bows. I do see myself placing another order with them (fairly soon, as my friends here who also love SOA are quite jealous of my ring!!!)

If you haven't checked out Battie Bows, and you are into creative, cute, girly bows, accessories. Check them out. A Final Review to follow soon!!!

FOTD: Feeling Blue with High Voltage Cosmetics

Photobucket

I decided it was time to actually dig in my collection and pull out one brand of eye make up to play with today..and High Voltage Cosmetics was what I decided on!!!

I recently reorganized my entire eyes section of my make up collection (which everything is broken down into color families..I will do an updated make up storage video for the YT channel soon so you can see what I mean...well if you like). Thus I kinda just reached into one section and then attempted to find coordinating colors afterwards.

Blue with just a hint of purple...normally I would automatically think of a bruise...but I thought the colors looked pretty together.

It was my first time trying out the High Voltage Eye Shadow Base..I figured it was time to attempt to use new base. Plus I noticed I had accidently not tightened the lid of the jar when I was fiddling with it the other day..so it looked slightly dry on top. Hence why I messed with it today...gotta make sure I close jars all the way. Don't want my good products going to waste!!! 

The shadow base was easy to apply to the skin and considering I went about 10 hours before it started to sho some signs of creasing...I would say pretty damn good (for the first time). I'm going to continue to use it for the rest of the month (and summer) to develop a final opinion on it. And review it at the end of August, so keep an eye out for that!!! 

It was the first time I also used all three of the High Voltage shadows...and I'm absolutely in love with Master of Disguise. It is just a perfect high light color...that I totally am going to use more often. Girls Night Out is an interesting blend of blue/purple with silver shimmer, I applied it wet all over the lid. Blended Mind's Eye into the crease, which is a darker blue/black with a hint of shimmer as well. 

I think I'm going to have to play a bit more with my minerals...I actually struggled today to attempt to first put them on...which means....I'm rusty!!!! he he
