Warm Earth Cosmetics Collective Review!
Hey guys! Time for another collective review! I have tried a load of stuff from this great company and I'm going to tell you ALL about it!
About Warm Earth Cosmetics
Warm Earth Cosmetics is a great online store that offers eye shadow, blush, cosmetic brushes and emery boards. They keep all of their products as pure as possible and have no preservatives and are fragrance free! They do not test on animals and use no animal products in the makeup.
My Thoughts
Oh my gosh. There is so much to say about all of this! First of all I love their handmade pottery. It really adds a unique flair to their makeup in a way I've never seen. I'll just get started talking about each thing!
First off, the brushes! I am extremely impressed by all of these. Honestly, these are the best quality makeup brushes I've ever used!
Deluxe Powder Brush ($18)
This brush is made of Grade A goat hair and is supposed to be used for any type of powder as the name suggests. This is a huge brush and the site says it's 9 inches long. It is so soft! This is now my favorite brush by far to put my powder foundation on. It's great for smooth application with the dense brush hairs I can tell it's a quality brush! I could see this brush easily being double the price. I love it!

Retractable Travel Powder Brush ($12)
This is a super convenient powder brush that is great for travel. It's great for touch ups on the go! It's 4.75 inches so it is very mobile. There's not much else to say about it other than it's a pretty soft good brush!
Sable Shade Brush ($10)
The sable shade brush is made of pure red sable and is for eye shadow, but I could see it used for powder concealer or anything you want, I guess. It's a 6.5 inch brush. I really
like how firm the brush is and how it won't lose it's shape like many other brushes out there. I really enjoyed this brush for applying eye shadow under the eye along the lash line because it really provides the firmness that is needed!

Deluxe Sponge Applicator ($2)
This is a pretty straight forward thing. We've all had sponge applicators, but most of the ones I've tried are the cheaply made ones that come with an eyeshadow or something. This one is a really great quality one that I totally recommend to everyone and for the inexpensive price, most people can afford to have a good quality sponge applicator from Warm Earth Cosmetics. This is the same size as the sable brush at 6.5 inches.
Eyebrow Contour Brush ($7)
This eyebrow brush is great! It's a 6.25 inch stiff nylon brush. I like how it brushes my eyebrow hairs down while brushing powder on. This is really a must-have in my opinion because I have never used a stiff good brush like this and I can tell it's going to last forever!
Now onto the eye shadows! Something unique you notice about Warm Earth Cosmetics eye shadows is there beautiful packaging. Handmade pottery! Now you have something beautiful to keep when your product is gone. These shadows feel really smooth when applying and I feel like the little pot is so full it will last forever. Also, right now for every eyeshadow you buy, they will send you one free deluxe sponge applicator.
Pluma Frost ($11)
This color is so gorgeous! It is a perfect plum with an amazing shimmer. It's so versatile and I could see it being used in so many looks. A little on the lower lash line can add a pop of color or on the lid for a bold look. The pigmentation is amazing too.
Bronce Matte ($11)
Bronce is a really light matte color. At first, I wasn't sure about the color since it was so close to my skin color, but I actually found quite a few. If you're doing a darker look and you applied a little heavy handed, but you don't want to start over, this is a great blending color! I'm pale skinned and I've used it as a highlight.
Hermosa ($11)
This is by far my favorite color! I love shiny neutrals like silvers, golds, bronzes, and copper.It is such a vibrant gold and has really great pigmentation. I'm convinced that they crushed up gold into powder and put it in this cute little jar! If you are thinking of trying out an eyeshadow from Warm Earth Cosmetics and love vibrant shimmer, this is the color!
And now for the best part, swatches!
These swatches are on bare skin without primer or anything with flash.
Alright, that's it. I totally recommend this brand! Let me know if you check them out!
