Spectrum Cosmetics

Okay, so I cannot contain my happiness with this brand any longer. I LOVE SPECTRUM COSMETICS -- there I admit it. I've been using their products for a year now and seriously OH MY GOSH!!! Their products are gorgeous!--and work wonderfully against my skintone.

So far I only have four of their colors:
Submarine (a luxurious yellow..and I mean yellow. Not a yellow/gold)

Virgin (a beautiful white)

Fatality (a nice, bright red)

Ferric (a brilliant, deep blue)

They are true to their word with their colors. They even put a swatch of every color range with each eyeshadow. For example:

Color charts like this are really helpful when you purchase their products!

Me being African-American, it is so hard for me to get colors that hold their own against my skin tone. I have these specific colors because these were the colors I would have the most trouble trying to get to appear on my skin. Now that I have them, I don't want to lose them! The pictures below are without primer...

 

^^FERRIC^^

Comparison of Submarine and MAC Chrome. Very close in color. You may

not can tell in the photo but Submarine is actually better in my opinion.

Compare the two in person and Chrome is a much paler yellow,

And Submarine goes on smoother, I get more out of it.

^^VIRGIN^^

Imagine how they look when I put primer on! I took these with my phone and in horrible lighting. The red and yellow are much more vibrant. Blue and white also, but the pictures show more of their beauty than they did the other two.

All-in-all I adore their products. I'm purchasing more in the near future and you guys will definitely know when they are in! Thank you lovelies, please check them out! Here is what is on my list to purchase soon:

Spearmint
Shocking
Kali
Peacock Plume Stack

P.S: I failed to mention the fact that this was an independent review. I am not receiving any gifts, money, or other benefits because I'm giving them a "great review". I just hate to see ladies paying hundreds on good quality make-up when they have a chance of getting some good grade eyeshadow for a great price!

Goodnight World

So, I should be asleep right now. But I'm not. Because I can't find my black tights. And I need/want them. So I can wear them tomorrow. With a pretty dress. So I will be in costume for two scenes, dressed out for movement, comfortable for the regular day, and dressed for my auditions without having to change once. But anywho...I LOVE DECO DEN-NING! I just tried my hand at it, and I'm in love! I'll post pics laterr<3 And here is some more I discovered:

1) Death Cab For Cutie is becoming a new favorite band.

2) They cheer me up.

3) I am a strict family person -  I find it more important than friends.

4) I want friends, that are just like family.

5) Then they too will be just as important.

6) I love crocheting more than I thought.

7) I really need more beads.

8) I am still not as happy as I wish I was.

9) I really am lonely and depressed...thought I was just thinking it...

10) I'm really tired.

11) I miss my kitties.

12) I want to be home.

13) I am beginning to adore blogging.

14) and more things I probably shouldn't say.

Well I'm off to look for my tights and sleep - oh! please pray I'm not getting sick because my roomie is!

Tis all<3

OH! Check out these hats I just fell in love with. Cute, huh?
