*** REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Face Candy Couture *** (CLOSED)

I'm an eyeshadow addict, YES! :D So, I couldn't miss the chance to review the beautiful colors of Face Candy Couture. Dear Shantle Shipp sent me 6 colors of my choice, and also 3 sample packs of her choice. She is so kind! The names of the items that I received are: Sweet Duece, Sudden, Sneaky, Dare, Romantique, Sarah, Harvest Moon, Leaves, Deep Cranberry. The colors are really beautiful and there is a variety of other colors in the shop. Blacks, blues, pinks, browns, reds, greens and many more!

They arrived in mini cute jars, but I must state that two of them had no protective caps inside. I put on the Leaves (green) and Dare (red) as you will see in the pictures. Of course, eyeshadow as powder can be a little difficult to use; it may ruin your face while applying. But this time, it's been very easy to put it on my eyes; I even didn't need a brush, I just used my finger. This way, it doesn't spill on your face much. Also, the colors are long lasting and vivid.

By the way, sometimes when you sweat, the eyeshadow can be gathered in one place on your eye and cause a bad look. So, I found a solution to this. When I apply it using a brush, this happens. But when I apply it with my finger, it interestingly doesn't happen much :)

PS: I found it very interesting that you can use this product even on your face, nails and lips!

My Favorite Three from the Shop:
- Deep = $4.99
- Fall = $4.99
- Sassy = $4.99

From the Sponsor:
1st and foremost I’m a mom to 3 wonderful boy. They are my heart, life, and my world. Everything is secondary to them.
Taking up photography a few years ago, I quickly learned how much I love to make people feel beautiful. Using makeup as part of the photo shoot to enhance ones already natural given beauty I came up with the idea of making my own makeup line.
Researching and combing the internet for ideas, I quickly became inspired by several other women who started making and selling makeup from home online. Without those women I probably wouldn’t have had the guts to go for it. Most of them probably don’t know who they are, but I’d like to say "Thank You" to them.
So why Face Candy Couture? Well us girlies love not only to dress up our bodies but we love to dress up and enhance the beauty of our faces. It’s been a roller coaster ride trying to make it happen, and finally I’m ready to make a stamp of my own in the wonderful world of natural cosmetics.
