The SAEM CR01 - Jack Rose, PK01 - Peach Rum, OR01 - Orange Parrot, and BL01 - Blue Lagoon Eco Soul Glam Eyes Review

Hello folksickles, today I will be reviewing the The SAEM Eco Soul Glam Eyes Eyeshadows in CR01 - Jack Rose, PK01 - Peach Rum, OR01 - Orange Parrot, and BL01 - Blue Lagoon

AvailabilityThese appear to have been discontinued.
Would I buy this again? Possibly.
NotesTati put up a video of a K-beauty at the drugstore haul and when I saw these and how glittery and beautiful they were I NEEDED THEM. So when me and my bud ended up in Chinatown I asked if we could go to the SAEM store and she was down with it so we went, it was great.
PK-01 - Peach Rum - I'd describe this as a warm pink base with gold and silver-white micro-glitter.
CR-01 - Jack Rose -  is actually fairly similar to Peach Rum, the base is a warm pink, warmer than Peach Rum and contains slightly larger gold and silver-white particles.
OR01 - Orange Parrot - I'd describe this as a coppery base with gold and white-silver glitter.
BL01 - Blue Lagoon - I'd describe this as a cool-toned sky blue with silver micro-shimmer.


Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Candle Review: Bath & Body Works Peach Bellini Scented Candle

Hi folks, so I have another home fragrance post for you. 

Candle: Bath & Body Works Scented Candle in Peach Bellini

Availability: This scent regularly retails at $26.50 for 14.5 oz. (411g) of product. 
Would I buy this again?: Yes.
Notes: In previous candle reviews I often would explain why I picked a particular scent, in terms of this I have had it a bunch of times and am surprised that I somehow didn't review it before.
Here's what I'm getting from smelling the candle cold - this smells really peachy with a soft watery wine-like note that I guess is the Prosecco. It's a very soft, refreshing scent.
As the wax warms and burns, the scent intensifies, though it doesn't change. 
I find this candle melts and burns very well. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Disclaimer: Bought this myself.

Incendio Beauty Dragon's Bane, Harvest Moon, and Aura Enchanted Pigment Review

Hello folksickles, today I will be reviewing the Incendio Beauty Enchanted Pigments in Dragon's Bane, Harvest Moon, and Aura.

Availability:  Unfortunately Incendio is no longer in business.
Would I buy this again? Possibly.
NotesI love the enchanted pigments and I'm slowly building a collection. I love that they are multipurpose and all have a beautiful shimmery finish. 
Dragon's Bane - is described as a pot of gold; to me it's this has a sheer nude base loaded with gold and pink micro-glitter. This is a color that benefits from being applied with a glitter glue or tacky primer as it can read sheer otherwise. 
Harvest Moon - is described as a rich orange copper packed with gold and pink glitter; to me it's pretty close to its description. I would say the pink in here mostly reads as a pearl in the copper pigment rather than a glitter. This would be beautiful as a blush or a highlighter on someone with a deep skin-tone.
Aura - is described as a beautiful pink with gold iridescence; I'd say this is a warm pink with a golden pearl. I mean the glow it has, look at it! Given how I love all things azure and aquatic this is the perfect thing to give contrast. It's also so multipurpose, it looks gorgeous as an eyeshadow, blush, highlight (on a deeper skin-tone), lip shade, or as a pop of color in the center of virtually any other lip shade. I love it.

Eyeliner Review: Incendio Beauty Poseidon Eyeliner Potion

Today's eyeliner review is going to be on Incendio Beauty Eyeliner Potion in Poseidon
As a base, on the upper lash-line, and waterline
Availability: Unfortunately Incendio is no longer in business.
Would I buy this again? Probably.
NotesThis shade is described as a perfect ocean blue. Personally I'd say this is an aquatic royal blue with the slightest hint of shimmer. This is super easy to work with, it glides onto the lid easily and smoothly. In terms of wear I had this on for a bit over 8 hours and it looked pretty freshly applied on the upper lash-line and a bit faded but still on the waterline. Thumbs up.

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.

Stila Smoky Storm Magnificent Metals Liquid Eyeshadow

Hey folksickles, today I'll be reviewing the Stila Magnificent Metals Liquid Eyeshadow in Smoky Storm.
Availability: It appears that this particular shade has been discontinued.
Would I buy this?: Damn right I would.
Notes: There has been quite a bit of hype going around on the Youtube about these and I've been meaning to try them out.
Smoky Storm is described as a light pewter & silver. This is a metallic pewter-taupe base with gold and silver micro-glitter. It's beautiful on its own or sheered out as a top-coat. I really wanted a glitter that would work with more neutral tones to give them a glittery pop now and again with adding color and this really does a wonderful job of it. It's long lasting and doesn't bother my eyes. I really like this and honestly would like to pick up the more duo-chrome/multi-chrome looking ones. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
