Rustic Romance - A BFTE Look & Review with Swatches

Hello, my beautiful love bugs! I was contacted a couple of weeks ago by BFTE Cosmetics (Beauty from the Earth) and they sent me some goodies to create a look and review for you guys. I am totally digging these indie, mineral makeup companies!

I put together this romantic, intense and sultry look that is appropriate for hot date night, event or, even Valentine's Day. The warm shades compliment almost everyone, and is just seeping with romance (or lust, you choose) ;).

SWATCHES

(click to enlarge) 

Swatched over NYX Eyeshadow Base, with flash.

(Some of the shadows I received are sample size. They are the ones without a sifter. The ones with sifters are full size shadows.)

A bright, shimmering pink. One of the prettiest pinks I've seen yet!

Shimmering red-violet with blue highlights. One of their BEST sellers! 

Wicked Blackened Eggplant with Eggplant Shimmer. Smooth and Pigmented.

A Medium Taupe with gold and greenish shimmer. 

Midtone to deep purple with fine silver sparkle.

Intense Medium Blue with fine silver sparkle.

My favorite of the bunch! A  metallic, shimmery gold/bronze.

Dark green Biased Teal, really breathtaking applied wet.

Dark green with black undertones and green sparkles.

Matte Black, Soft in both texture and color. Applied wet it is a true deep black. Great for adding to other colors to make a colorful smoky eye.

 Comparison of full size jar and sample size jar: 

Full size: 1-3 grams (by weight) in a 5 gram jar, $6.50. Sample size: .5 gram (by volume) in a 3 gram jar, $2.00.

REVIEW

When I first got contacted by Beauty from the Earth, I'll admit that I squealed a bit. I first heard of the company about 2 years ago on YouTube and have been wanting to try them out ever since...I just never had the chance to. When I went on the website to pick out my shades, I was completely blown away and overwhelmed by the HUGE selection of colors. I was pleasantly surprised to see the price tag as well, (Full size jars are $6.50 USD and sample size jars are $2.00 USD).

Also, BFTE's Facebook Page recreated my Radiant Rainbow Liner look. You can see it HERE., which was super exciting! 

Lemme tell you, their shipping is lightning fast! My order shipped on Monday and I got it on Wednesday. NICE. The consistency and texture of the shadow is super fine, soft and these blend like a dream! I dipped my finger into one of them to swatch, and didn't even realize my finger was already in the shadow! They're light as air. Like most mineral shadows, they are crazy pigmented and last for hours. I noticed that these don't stain my skin like other mineral shadows do, which is surprising for how intense they are. 

Foiling these make them a million times more intense and gorgeous. Take a look for yourself!

I am greatly pleased with these mineral shadows, and I will definitely be buying from Beauty from the Earth in the near future. OBSESSED. They also sell foundation, blush and much more! Be sure to check them out at http://bftecosmetics.com/.

A billion thanks to Beauty from the Earth Cosmetics for sending me these amazing mineral shadows!

I hope you all enjoyed this monstrous post! If you get the chance, definitely try these out! You can get a sample size for only $2.00, and you get a pretty good amount of product (I'd say about 5-6 applications worth). I am very happy with these, and I can't wait to buy some more.

See you all soon!
