Beauty From The Earth: Swatches!

Oh BFTE,

 How I love thee. Let me count the ways! One, two, three.... looks like 10 ways today. I've been on quite a neutral kick the past 2 months so this order is primarily earthy toned goodness. BFTE has some of the prettiest neutral & earthy shades I've ever seen from a company. Their selection of Greens is 6 pages long ladies!

Canyon, Beautiful, Aurora & Dragonslayer

Sunkissed, Rockstar, Spruce & Nebula

I've had Beautiful & Patriot prior but loved both so much I needed to order more. Yep, its that good. My new favorites out of this order is: Spruce & Dragonslayer. Both colors need to be owned by everyone. Spruce really is a stunning green which has some green/silver shift to it.

Hope you enjoyed today's swatches! Coming soon - a review of the new & limited BFTE Holiday Collections!

Beauty From The Earth: More Swatches

Time for another BFTE post! I recently ordered 6 jars of eye shadow and thought this snowy October night was a great time to share. Hope you all have a great & safe Halloween weekend!!

Chocolate, Envy, Lava Momma, Dusty Rose, Pumped & Cornflower

Chocolate, Envy, Lava Momma, Dusty Rose, Pumped & Cornflower

Every single BFTE color is a win but if I had to pick 3 favorites (its hard to choose just one) it would be Chocolate, Lava Momma & Cornflower. But honestly I've never been disappointed with their shades or customer service! 

Be sure to keep your eyes open for Crystals Birthday Collection releasing soon! Colors are Carrot Cake, Double Chocolate, Red Velvet, & Cupcake. This set will be $20 and BFTE will only make 50 sets.

Beauty From The Earth: "Pick Your Poison" Halloween Collection

Let me start out by saying that Halloween is my all time favorite holiday. This love was intensified by moving to the East Coast and experiencing a New England Fall (esp October). So naturally I jumped on the opportunity to order Beauty From The Earth's Halloween Collection. I just received it in the mail today and wanted to share the pictures with you.

"Pick Your Poison" Collection, COTW-Tough Men Wear Pink, Marigold (Sample Jar) & Wacky (Sample Jar)

A tasty treat too?? This is too good to be true!

Snake Oil & Cats Eye

Spider Venom & Bats Wing

The "Pick Your Poison" Collection retails for $25.00. It includes 4 full size jars, tinted lip balm and was neatly placed inside this adorable Poison Box (w/ tasty treat). All colors in this Collection are brand new to BFTE. There are limited numbers of this set but don't fret - they will be available for individual sale on the website in the future. My personal favorites out of this Collection are Snake Oil (real sparkly orange) & Bats Wing.

I also purchased the COTW - Tough Men Wear Pink & 2 sample jars. Here are the swatches of those:

Beauty From The Earth: Berry Patch Collection

I'm pretty excited because today I can show you lovelies all sorts of newness from one of my favorite cosmetics companies. I've got 2 new eye minerals (Laguna & Limelight) & the soon to be released Berry Patch Collection, a beautiful 3 jar mini collection, from Beauty From The Earth!

Laguna, Limelight, Wildberry, Boysenberry & Gooseberry

Beauty From The Earth never disappoints and these new colors are just stunning! The Berry Patch Collection is right up my alley because these 3 colors compliment each other SO well when you wear them. Plus I'm a sucker for chartreuse-y greens so Gooseberry was an automatic slam dunk.

Boysenberry is my favorite out of the trio however. It's such a beautiful purple with a pink base and blue/purple reflects. I fell in love with it as soon as I swatched it. It is now in my top 3 purples from BFTE - thats how pretty I think it is.

Laguna & Limelight wear more like BFTE's Velvet Frosts and apply like butta'. So smooth and pigmented. I totally see Laguna being one of the colors I use more in the winter as right now I'm crazy about Fall shades and earth tones. These 2 minerals are available for purchase at BFTE's website.

Lovin' the new Berry Patch Collection

Beauty From The Earth: Blue Minerals

Some people shy away from blue eye shadow because it's too 50's or too Mimi (Drew Carey Show) but blues can be worn just as easily as any other shade. It can be used for a bold look or you can soften those blues up for a more innocent approach. Blues can be used to accent orange, browns and grey shadows as well! Just use a bit as a liner under your eye and bam, sexy contrast!

Calypso, Wasted Time, Dew Drop, Oasis, Midnight Blue & Blacklisted

You may have noticed that one of these things is not like the other. Somehow I mixed this pinky/purple (Dew Drop) into the mix of blues. Not sure how that happened but surprise!

Ocean Mist, Casablanca Nights, Glitz, Bewitched, Bermuda & Subcooling

Winter Blues, Dangerous, Peacock, Titan, Blue Bird & Spellbound

Winter Blues is loaded with so much gold glittery goodness my camera fainted at the sight of it.

Tinker, Insomnia, Blue Pacific, Miracle, Blueberry & Patriot

Seriously Patriot is one of my all time favorite blue mattes. This color is perfect for crease definition and smokey eye.

Navy, Playful, Main Stage, Beach House & Sweet Dreams

Beauty From The Earth: Purple & Pink Mineral Swatches

There's a lot to be said for Purple & Pink eye shadows. You can create a very innocent look or a vampy smokey eye. Beauty From The Earth has some wicked *yay Massachusetts* purple & pink minerals!

Livid, Grape, Zachs Friend, Rome, Hitchcock & Starstruck

Big Ego, Moondust, Wicked, Aphrodite, Midnight Kisses, Panurple

Raspberry, Tripleberry, Sugarcoated, Passion, Sweet N Spicy & Believe

Karma, Last Dance, Classy, Stunning, Paris & Princess

There's a big difference between Last Dance & Classy. Last Dance is more plummy/shimmery and Classy is a purplish-red.

Spring Fever, Winter Rose, End Of Times, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Plum & Holiday Magic

Rock You, Love Potion #9, Iced Violets, Orchid, Hollywood Secrets & Unicorn

Cheeky, Belle Of The Ball, Always A Bridesmaid & Girl Next Door
