&*(New BFTE Cosmetics Haul/Swatches)*&

Hello lovelys! I know it's been a LONG time since I posted. I apologize.. again! I just had my tonsils removed this week, had more doctor appointments than I'd like these last few months, school, and a new job have all been calling for my attention! Luckily most doctors appointments are behind me, I'm healthier and back with a new post!!

And how exciting is it that it is of BFTE Cosmetics! <3 I ABSOLUTELY love this company so of course when I finally do get to splurge a little money on myself, I go straight to this website and picked myself up two more 16 sample tins, the Color of the Week, and I had to get me a full size of my favorite highlighter, Butt Naked. =) I couldn't be happier with this company! The packaging is adorable, the quality is outstanding, the samples last quite a few looks since they are so pigmented, and their customer service is great!

Anyways, here is the two tins I got, minus the two full size jars I ordered that will be pictured later in this blog!


I love color coding my tins to make it easier to find the colors I'm looking for. I can now name all of the colors I have by just looking at the colors! haha Can you tell I am a fan?

By the way, you can click on the images to see a larger picture! I decided to try taking pictures with my iPhone and they turned out pretty great, a lot better than my digital camera which is sad.. lol Anyways, enough of me rambling! Let's get to some colors and swatches!



I will post the colors in their jar first, name the colors, and then do a pic with the swatches. 
For the swatches, the colors are in the same order as the picture of the jars.
I also did three swatches of each color. Dry, over Urban Decay Primer Potion, and wet. 

Enjoy!!!!!!!!! I know I will! I plan to do some new looks through out this week and will post the beginning of next week. =)


Colors in order left to right..
First row: Lavish, Jaded, Winter Blues, Hocus Pocus
Second Row: Blue Pacific, Peacock, Spellbound, Tickle Me


My thoughts on this group: First, I love how these look so great, wet or dry. Super pigmented too! It doesn't take much of this eyeshadow to go a long way. =) If I had to pick a favorite out of this group, it would be a toss up between Winter Blues or Peacock. I like how Winter Blues is so sparkly and really does make me think of Winter and Peacock is such a fun color and looks great both wet or dry!


Colors in order left to right..
First row: Night Train, Titan, Dirty Deals, Atomic Teal
Second Row: Calypso, Nebula, Bermuda, Black


My thoughts on this group: Do you see how black, Black is when wet!!! OMG! It makes the perfect color for an eye liner! I think its such an interesting color because it is matte and you don't usually find that in black and I was surprised at the difference in the dry and wet color. If I had to pick a favorite, I would have to say Atomic Teal or Calypso. This swatch doesn't give Atomic Teal justice haha It's a black with a fine green glitter. So pretty and it will make the greatest liner color! Calypso is so sparkly and such a wearable blue in my opinion with just the right about of "flash."


Colors in order left to right..
First row: $10 Pineapple, Satin Sheets, Mellow Yellow, Linen
Second row: Aphrodite, Thistle, Iced Violets, Whisper


My thoughts on this group: By far the colors that stands out too me is Aphrodite and Whisper. I think Aphrodite is such a beautiful purple color. I usually wear dark purples but I love this color! Whisper, don't be fooled by how it looks in the jar or even in my swatch! This color is just one of those colors that is hard to pick up on camera and it definitely isn't the peachy color it shows in the jar. It is actually the prettiest light shimmery lavender color. Such a beautiful color in person! If I was to pick a favorite, it would be either of those two colors. <3


Colors in order left to right..
First row: Orchid, Swift, High Maintenance, Oasis
Second row: Wasted Time, Stonewashed, Bondage, Romeo


My thoughts on this group: Oh jeeze, so much to say! This is probably my favorite color group since most of my favorites land in this picture lol Where to start, I absolutely love Orchid. I personally like to wear this color wet for that vibrant purply pink color. My next favorites are the last three colors on the bottom row: Stonewashed, Bondage, and Romeo. I have been wearing Romeo and Bondage together a lot lately. After testing out some of the new colors, I will definitely be buying Bondage in a full size. It's the perfect color to smoke out looks. Stonewashed is such a pretty color too. I love the light blue gray shade of it! Perfect for the wintery months ahead! 


Colors in order left to right..
Butt Naked, Wicked

My thoughts on this group: Butt Naked is by far my favorite highlight shade. I went to Sephora looking for a highlight color to promote on my blog and I was just flat out not impressed with any other high light but this one for my skin tone. haha I plan to be a lifetime shopper with BFTE for this color alone, although there are tons of other reasons why I will shop with them again haha Wicked is an interesting color. It is one of the first duo-chrome colors I have worked with. It's definitely something different but I'm glad I grabbed this color when it was the color of the week. It looks purple in the jar, but actually wearing it, it has a green sheen too it. Very pretty! 

All in all, it was a successful shopping day for me and as always, this company never fails in customer service or quality! And with the company holding contests everyday this month on their facebook page, I have obsessed over checking their site to try to win free product! Can't beat a company who gives back to their fans and customers!!!!!!!

I will have a new post the beginning of next week with looks that I have done through out this week with BFTE Cosmetics. I literally only wear eye makeup from BFTE to work so I'll take some pics throughout the week as I do new looks! =) Until next time, remember to always stay smiling!! Talk with you all soon!

XoXoXo,

  1. Thanks for sharing! Is High Maintenance very sparkly? Does it have a lot of glitter?

    Also, I think the last color is actually Wicked, not Whisper, right?

  2. You are correct. I will fix that now! Oops! haha I was just playing with Whisper so I typed what I was playing with. lol Thanks for picking that up and High Maintenance is very sparkly. It has a unique sparkle too it since it has a green/silver sparkle too it. Very pretty! <3
