Sassy Don't Blink Look & Mini Review (more to come!)

I'm finally getting around to testing Sassy Minerals. They sent me a bunch of foundation, blush and eyeshadows to try out. Sassy is a new company (opened in September 2009) that mixes their own products (of course, or else I wouldn't have tried them out!). After checking out their really professional, easy to navigate website, I was delighted to try them out! (Note- some of their products contain carmine or bismuth, but EACH color has its ingredients listed seperately, which I really like)

This is by no means my full review (you girls KNOW I like to write...and write...and test...and test!) but just a first impression sort of thing!

What I used-
-Sassy Minerals Eye Candy Shimmer in Don't Blink- ocean blue with green sparkles
-Sassy Minerals Eye Candy Shimmer in Break the Silence- smoky grey blue with intense blue and purple sparkles (And YES, it is intense!! I wanted to inhale it!)
-Sassy Minerals Eye Candy Shimmer in Gaining Ground- pale rosy beige with flashes of green and pink shimmer (*drool* So beautiful!)
-Collection 2000 Glam Metallics Coloured Liquid Liner in Punk- blue grey metallic
-Detrivore Eye Shadow Primer
-Gosh Velvet Touch lipstick in Darling- totally neutral concealer color lippie
-Sassy Minerals So Cheeky Shimmer Blush in First Kiss- coral peach with gold shimmer

I look like I'm crying. My hair is so awful and I've NEVER been very picky about it before. I look like a boy (seriously, this is the best picture I could find). Those bangs were supposead to be EYEBROW length. Uh does that look eyebrow length to you? My sister in law did this, so I have to pretend to be happy but inside I want to CRY. It's just not me....it's more stereotypical trucker girl. I don't feel pretty. I don't feel girly. Onto the makeup then? Okay, enough whining, Lisa Kate!! I used Punk to line bottom lid and then primed upper lid with Detrivore primer. Don't Blink in inner vee and inner 2/3rds of lid. Break the Silence on outer 1/3rd of lid and a wee bit into crease. Gaining Ground as highlight.

I really love all these colors. The duochromes and sparkles are really beautiful in person. The application is very smooth, although not in the "creamy" sense of Exposed or Orglamix. They are a bit more finely milled and the texture is close to The She Space or Archetype. I like both, so I'm not picky on this. Very little fallout to no fallout (even with the sparkles, which are sort of "large"). The foundation is also finely milled and not creamy. Nea from Fashioned in Finland did a great review and mentioned that the foundation was good for her dry skin. So, I (combo leaning towards oily) was a bit worried it wouldn't work for me, but it did! It went on really smooth and blended easily. I didn't need to blot for at least 8 hours (I used go about 3 with Everyday Minerals). The blush went on top of the foundation so nicely (I have trouble with blush going funny with EDM). No oxidation! Hurray! Overall, I'm pretty darn excited. I really liked the blush color, it was very light but buildable. I only put one layer on though, so its still pigmented (I hate the "buildable" blushes that you need to pile it on to show!!). Perfect for light skinned gals!

Okay thats it for now! Those are my first impressions of Sassy Minerals and so far I really like everything I tried. Look out for a full review next week or so!

How's your weekend going? Have you ever gotten a totally bad unfixable haircut? How did you deal? *cries a bit*
