Ocean Mist Cosmetics Collective Review! Part 2!

     Hello! Remember Ocean Mist? Well, I'm back with another review of some of their products! If you'd like to read my previous review, you can read it here!

About Ocean Mist Cosmetics
     Ocean Mist Cosmetics is a small makeup company that been family owned and operated for several years. They like to add a personal touch to their shipments and put my samples in some pretty plastic bag. At Ocean Mist Cosmetics, they believe that more expensive is not always better. They use the purest ingredients and keep their prices low for their customers.

     They claim that their mineral makeup is good for ALL skin including oily, dry, sensitive, problematic, acne prone, and people with rosacea and scarring. In addition to this, the minerals will help with inflammation. On Ocean Mist Cosmetics’ online store, they offer a variety of foundations, concealers, veils, blushes, bronzers, correctors, eye shadows, and so much more.

My Thoughts

Prime Mineral Foundation Ivorie ($34.95) (on sale for $24.95)

     This is Ocean Mist's brand new foundation formula! I was so excited to try this out. You guys know how much I love the original formula (which they are still selling), so I really wanted to know what else Ocean Mist will formula. This foundation is silkier and you can feel it smoothing on your skin.

     The only problem is that this shade was waaay to dark for my skin. This is the lightest shade they offer in Prime. I passed the container onto a friend who was happy to use it and says it has worked out great for her. All of the Prime shades seem to be medium! If you have light or dark skin, give the original formula a try! They have 34 shades!

Mineral Concealer in Fair ($8.95)

     This stuff really works. This matches my skin a lot better than Light, so I am really happy that I got to try it out. It works great for highlighting and contouring. I suggest this to you if you have blemish prone skin because it can hide redness better than any liquid concealer I've ever tried. 

Silken Perfection Face Powder ($11.95)

     This stuff might look bright white and scary, but it blends into invisible. It will mattify and make skin feel like silk. The main ingredient is rice powder, so this is similar to a lot of blotting powders on the market. I really enjoyed this!

Vanora Blush ($8.95)

     If you know me, you know that I don't often wear blush. If I'm wearing blush it is usually very slight and unnoticeable, but I couldn't resist this color! The shimmering pinky color is so beautiful and really would look nice on many skin tones!

Fine Brown ($6.95)

     On the site, this brown appeared to me a neutral dark brown with a slight shimmer, but in person it is a bit different. It is really more of a shimmery terracotta clay color. Of course I realize it's impossible to show what it will look like irl. It's not what I was expecting, but I still love it!

Natura ($6.95)

     This is a beautiful reddish purplish brown with gold shimmer. This would look good on all eye colors in my opinion, since it is a very mixed and unique color.

Golden Sparkle ($6.95)

     This eye shadow is a more orangey shimmery gold that I really like! The site describes this as jewelry for your eyelid and I have to agree.

Chimera ($6.95)

     It's kind of hard to describe, but this is a slightly green toned gold. It could be descried as an antiqued gold. 

Neutrella ($6.95)

     Does anyone else love this name? It's a deep metallic gray that is pretty unique. 

Sizzle ($6.95)

     This is a great matte white with a really slight tiny shade of lavender. I love it for highlighting just under my brow!

Rosy Pearl ($6.95)

     In my opinion they really should have named this Rose Gold! It's such a pretty rose gold color with gold sparkle. Out of all the shadows, this one really interested me!

     I definitely reccommend Ocean Mist Cosmetics. Let me know if you check them out!

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!
