Psyche Minerals is Moving

The Psyche Minerals portion of this blog will now be at PsycheMinerals.Blogspot.com

We are also trying to intergrate selling on blogspot so we can move away from Etsy. So keep and eye out for that too.

So if you want to keep up to date with Psyche Minerals please bookmark or follow the new site; PsycheMinerals.Blogspot.com

THANKS! <3

"Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be EVER in your favor...!!" The collection is now LIVE!

Take a look @ http://www.etsy.com/shop/PsycheMinerals?section_id=11272038 you'll find all 12 colors up and ready to be purchased. Sample sizes only for now. Full sizes should be available next week!!

Review: Ophelia's Apothecary Tangerine Tango Tinted Lip Balm Treatment

I purchased this while they had their sale on the 8th, and received it today. Out of the three times I've purchased from them I received this the quickest. The composition of the of the balm seems to be good as it is moisturizing. I also like the small tube it comes it as well as the ones their scrubs come in. I do wish that this tinted balm lived up to it's name. I was excited to try something different color wise. I honestly can't see any color on my lips when applied. I thought maybe it was the fact that I have very pigmented lips so I swatched it on my hand. It was like a normal balm and left no color behind on my hand.

The break down is I like the packaging, the ingredients, and the concept. I was very disappointed in the fact that this is in no way (in my opinion) a tinted lip balm. For me it is just a regulat lip balm.

Unfortunately this turns me away from every purchasing a tinted lip balm from Ophlelia's Apothecary again. I think the only think I honestly like so far from them is their body/lip scrubs, and balms.

How I "conceal" my red undertones

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

I'm usually super pale with red undertones. I guess you'd call them "pink", but anyways... I've noticed that combining primers such as.. MUFE in Yellow, and Miracle Skin Transformation in Light (for those of you who shop at Sephora) is helps to cut the redness better than using a green color correcting primer. For those of you who enjoy MAC products their Prep + Prime  highliter in Light Boost, and their regular Prep + Prime face primer work just about the same at cutting the visibility of the redness. For those of you on a budget Revlon's Photo Ready color corrector primer works well also. It's not as good as the Sephora or MAC combinations, but still help to reduce the visibility of redness.

Just something I came across recenly while being bored, and tired of always worrying about my little undertones showing through.

Being Featured on Heartsy!

Will be featured on Heartsy again!! <3 This coming Friday will have a deal for $13/$30 for regular members and $13/$40 for VIP members. Now just to let you know Heartsy purchases do NOT qualify for the 30% off sale, but we WILL have a Heartsy special as well.

 

Thanks <3

January Blog Sale

Here are a few items I'm trying to get rid of.. I have so much that I never use since I make my own shadows, and items I just don't want. It's first come first serve (first to ask/comment about an item gets it), and if you're an international buyer please let me know. I do ship internationally, but it will just be a bit more than with in the U.S. Shipping with in the U.S. will start at $2.60 for lighter items, and may increase with the heavier items. I only accept PayPal at Leftbehind7138604@yahoo.com

Also there is a minimum purchase of $5 since I do have some samples from various Indie companies.

I don't have all my items with me at the moment so I will be adding items through out the next couple of days, but MOST items will be here already.

You can see a list of MOST of my items at makeupalley.com my user name is DazzleGlam. I am willing to trade for items I'm looking for ^_^ and everything on my list is for sale ^_^ I have MAC, OPI, and other brands listed there. So take a look there before making your final decision here.

To be on the safe side everything has been used once. After collecting everything it's hard to remember what I've actually swatched. The baggies for the samples look more used than the actual shadows are since they've been tossed around. All Indie company samples are $.75 unless otherwise stated. I'm open to offers on the full sized items just send you offers to leftbehind7138604@yahoo.com also if you'd like pics please let me know I can send them to you. I just didn't want to overload this with A TON of pics.

Review : StoneznStix

I saw them on Heartsy and figured since it was basically free (had credits from refunds) why not? I decided to get the 5 feathers custom made listing since the ones that were premade I wasn't a big fan of. There was no communication so I can't comment on that. I purchased my item Nov. 19th, and received my item probably 3-4 days ago. So shipping wasn't too bad, but it felt like forever just for a feather extension. I know she probably had a lot to do with the Heartsy vouchers and all. I just wish there was a TAT listed in the shop announcement. They came in a bubble mailer which is always nice, and they arrived safe and sound with two microbeads and a j hook to help install the extension. The colors I purchased were furnace, ginger, unique variant, cream, and hot pink badger, ONLY problem I have is that two of my feather look IDENTICAL.. I think it's the unique variant and cream ones.. The unique variant is supposed to be cream with black and brown markings, but it looks the same as the cream one pretty much. Can't tell the different to be honest. I wish she had better descriptions of the feathers since each one I picked WAS in fact a different color.. I won't purchase feather extensions from StoneznStix again most likely. The product it good, but it just irks me that two of the feathers look a like, and they are pretty much white/cream so it's not going to look that good on the person who I bought it for. I do like the idea, and there are a bunch of colors so don't let my complaint stop you from shopping there. It's not a bad indie company. I just ended up with something I didn't like.

I normally wouldn't buy these since I protest the use of them because it hurts the fishing industry. Rooster feathers are what are used in some fishing lures, and now since this has become a fashion item the prices have sky rocketed. Consider it a moment of weakness on my end. People who make their own items need support, and while it was free I saw no harm. It'll end up being a Christmas gift for someone who's been wanting them :)

Added 1/7/12

Owner contacted me shortly after this was posted asking to have this review removed since when her shop is googled you see this review, and it has the part where I won't purchase from here again since I use the shop name again. I won't post screen shots of the messages or quote them here either. I just feel the initial one was unprofessional. The message was accompanied by a insulting comment on my blog and her and her "friend" or supplier idk added me on twitter. To attempt to avoid drama since I feel social media sites should not be filled with drama her and her accomplice were blocked. I feel this is an awful lot of nonsense to go through over a blog post. I had actually considered just revising the post a bit, but after a negative feedback was left for me as a buyer from her on etsy I feel no need to be considerate.

These are all my own personal opinions based on items purchased by me.
