Now for the pretties. I am starting back with more lovelies from Beauty From the Earth, specifically more of their stunning brights. I am only swatching for this post, quality is every bit as lovely as their other shadows.
Isis is a deep shimmering burgundy red with a tinge of rust. This is an unblended pigment, which means this is not a BFTE custom blended color. Looks amazing as an eyeliner.
High Maintenance is a pretty sparkly lilac with fine multi color sparkle. It's the perfect purple for me, not a dark eggplant and not a frosty lavender.
Kraz is a shimmery kelly green and is part of BFTE's new Pro line. Every bit as user friendly as their other mineral shadows.
Final Thoughts
BFTE is rapidly taking over my makeup drawers and for good reason. I've had nothing but positive experiences with the product and company. Check them out for yourself.
Where to Buy: Beauty From the Earth
Price: Samples $2.00 Full Size $6.50
Update!
A reader asked what the unblended pigments were. Here is the answer straight from Crystal at BFTE
"An unblended pigment is a color in it's original form from our suppliers, it is not a color custom made by BFTE"
Hope that helps.
Ah, these are all gorgeous! I love Isis especially, I am such a sucker for burgundies and reds... Lovely! And welcome back!
ReplyDeleteYou inspired me to go to their website and look around, but several times I saw the warning that the shadow I was interested in was " unblended pigment" and that I should look on their FAQ page. However, I couldn't find the page, maybe bc I'm using my phone. Can you explain? Is this worth a try for someone who isn't that great with make up yet? How do I pat if I thought I was supposed to blend? Lol
ReplyDeleteI will get the definitive answer on the unblended pigment for you. I believe this is just a repackaged Mica that they sell as opposed to a color they custom blend. It's not a bad thing or a dangerous thing. They just can't sell it labeled as one of their creations.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, they are wonderful, even for beginners. Some mineral/loose shadows can be tricky (like Fyrinnae) but BFTE shadows apply easily, blend well and are really user friendly. Plus they have so many colors you can find anything you could ever want. The prices are so reasonable, you can branch out into some fun colors and really expand your beauty wardrobe.
As for pat vs blend. That was a little confusing. The patting with BFTE shadows is to help you acheive the intensity of color. If you just sweep it over the lid, your color will be more subtle, more of a wash. You can still absolutely blend it. Patting is just when you are laying down the dominant areas of color, before you blend. I hope that helps. When I get the answer on the unblended pigment I will update the post.
