FOTD - Fire Flies

I asked on Twitter which colour combo I should use today, @smooshkissxx suggested orange and yellow, whereas @ClosedEyeTyping fancied something dark and metallic. I figured I'd go for the both!

EYES - TFSI, NYX 'Milk' jumbo pencil, Yaby yellow, Yaby white, Urban Decay 'Zero', Venomous Cosmetics 'Yellow Jacket', Fyrinnae 'Chlorophyll', ARC 'Patina', Illamasqua sealing gel, Sleek black, Kryolan white pencil eyeliner.

FACE - Kryolan ultra foundation as concealer, No.7 'Beautifully Matte' foundation, Kryolan powder, Kiss my Sass 'Suntan' bronzer.

LIPS - MAC 'Honeylove' lippy, Kiss my Sass 'Innocence' gloss.

Aaaah. There's nothing quite like a new mascara, is there?! You almost forget how amazing they feel to apply until you get another tube. I used Maybelline falsies mascara, in case you ever wondered...this is about the fifth tube I've bought! Also, new foundation! The colour is a bit too pale for me at the moment since I'm fake tanned to glory, but I HAD to buy it since it was the most heavily yellow toned foundation I've ever spotted from a regular make-up brand.

Also, huge pictures - yay or nay? I made the width of my blog bigger and can't decide if I like it or not!

REVIEW - Antoinette's Revolution Cosmetics

Antoinette's Revolution Cosmetics are one of the newest companies on the indie make-up scene. The theme running throughout the seems to be of history's upper classes and French splendour, rather different to any other indie companies I've come across so far. ARC ran an opening sale a while back, which, naturally I took advantage of!

My order arrived within two weeks from the USA, which is actually quite fast considering ARC were running a sale at the time! Included with my order was my invoice, a free pin badge and a free samples of 'Ladies in Waiting'.

Both samples and full sizes include the company name, product name, ingredients and whether or not the colours are lip safe. Everything you could need to know! However, ARC could do with listing if products are vegan or otherwise, as I couldn't find this information on the products OR the website. It doesn't bother me, personally, but I know a lot of ladies only buy vegan products where possible.

I found the eyeshadows to be smooth, blendable and well pigmented. Each of these colours lasts an average amount of time over primer or a base. Although these colours are fairly simple, they are also very beautiful and I'm definitely going to buy full sizes of 'Guillotine' (a fabulous, deep, blood red) and 'Marie', a sheer, pale blue with faint purple duochrome and glitter) once the samples run out!

All in all, I'm impressed with this new, young company and have no problem in recommending their products :) Full size jars are priced at $5 each, samples at $0.75 each. The ARC shop can be found on Artfire.
