Etsy Crack: Mum Mum's Craft's Mineral Makeup Line (Super Pic Heavy!)

Lately I've been really coveting some good matte shadows. As any addict knows, a great matte loose piggy is an elusive one...I think of them as the "rare white tigers" of my collection :P I'm always on the lookout for mineral lines that include matte shadows!

So, when I first saw Mum Mum's Velvet line, I squealed a little. With a variety of 15 colors that range from Salsa hot red to bright Turquoise to a variety of warm and cool neutrals...I HAD to try these!

Onto the review, then, yes? Here are some swatches:
This last one is a really crappy pic...it's blurry but accurate!! Color Descriptions & My Thoughts=

-Ice crystal - like a sparkling piece of ice in the sun! It looks white, but don't be fooled! Once you rub it on it shifts from silvery green to a silvery red to a golden green, depending on the lighting! (f*ing awesome as a lipcolor…I put on a clear lip balm and dabbed Ice Crystal in the middle and in the cupids bow. Cute perfection! I also used it in the middle of Coral Flush for a sweet shimmery pout!)

-Puff pink- soft pink matte, not lip safe (contains ultramarines, a great highlighting shade!)

-3-in-1 Coral Flush- coral (gorgeous! Reminds me of Too Faced Papa Don't Peach except not as oh-em-gee shimmery)

-Wisteria- a lighter/mid-toned purple that will absolutely make green eyes shine (must have color…I couldn't believe this was so pretty! Very neutral purple, not too much red or blue!)

-Ewa Beach -teal ocean blue-green color (buildable in a GOOD way…One swipe is a gorgeous greenish teal…more makes it BRIGHT, HOT teal!)

-Fudge-rich gorgeous brown (slightly warm but not OVERLY so. Very pigmented!!! That swatch is ONE SWIPE!)

-Swiss Chocolate-Beautiful rich chocolate brown with lots of shimmer (Gorgeous! I love this color…Perfectly pigmented, the golden shimmer is shot through a cool-ish deep brown. I could see this looking gorgeous on any skin tone!)

Overall, I had a great time with Mum Mum's Crafts! FABULOUS colors, I can't wait to try out more of the Velvet collection. Application is luscious and smooth, lasting power is on average with most minerals (you gotta use a base, but we all know that!). Not everything is vegan, but each listing says whether or not it contains carmine! Also, each listing shows if a shadow is lip safe or not! Oh, and the blendability (is that a word? lol) of the mattes is perfect! A lot of mattes can be somewhat hard to blend, but not these!

On the personable side of things...Shipping? Lightning fast! Customer Service? Lucy was a total sweetheart, answered all of my dumb questions! Extra Goodies/Nice Packaging? Yes and Yes!

And now onto a FotD!What I used:

-Mum Mum's Crafts Wisteria, Ewa Beach, Swiss Chocolate, Puff Pink, Coral Flush, Ice Crystal

-UD 24/7 liner in Underground- metallic taupe

-Aromaleigh Aromatherapy lip balm in Cremesicle Delight (yummies!) - Sweet orange oil is blended with Vanilla Bourbon absolute to put a natural spin on this perfect childhood favorite...

Puff Pink as base. Underground as liner with Swiss Chocolate on top and slightly into crease. Ewa Beach in middle of lid over SC (doesn't it look cool layered on the brown? Never thought of doing that before but I love!) . Wisteria in inner vee. Coral Flush as blush and on top of Cremesicle lipbalm. Ice Crystal in middle of lower lip and cupids bow (see closeup above)This picture is redonk, right? I look like a sad panda! Honestly I got 2 hours of sleep last night and put this on before class. I was NOT happy to be awake! My eyes look badass though, right? I totally accentuated my undereye circles :D

So have you tried Mum Mum's Crafts at Etsy yet? If you like 3-in-1s or matte shadows, I say WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! Oh yeah, you were waiting for me to tell you about it XD Order up girlies! (And no, I was not paid for this infomercial lol). You can try any 3 samples for $3 or 5 samples for $5! She also has handmade soaps for us sensitive skin girls and boys (why do redheads have the worst skin?) that I can't wait to try! Plus, when I looked at the site again, I also feel compelled to buy Bubblegum 3-in-1...how can I resist the cute?
