Hey Guys... Makeup Makeup Makeup!!! Of course I have been watching YouTube videos... as always and I came across a brand called City Color Cosmetics!! I watched a few videos and I was sold!! I am a makeup junkie... I just can't stop. But at least I am using it more now!!! Anyway, I checked out the website and found A LOT OF STUFF!!! The prices are amazing and the products a not that bad either! Once I got everything unpacked I decided to use a couple of the products for a look... 95% of them were great. The Curl Mascara just didn't work out to be what I wanted. I did like the brush tho... but the product wasn't what I like in a mascara. I did a haul video for these, but I forgot a few items. The Smokey palette and the Be Matte blush in Blood Orange.
The Smokey palette has 12 small circular eyeshadows. Looks like 2 mattes, 3 satins and the rest are like a velvet or frost. 2 double ended sponge applicators are included. This palette doesn't have a mirror... but that looks like the only thing that is missing. I did mini test of the colors and they are pretty opaque (I used the sponge apps... which normally sucks in the color so I am excited for when I use a brush) I should have taken these pictures next to items so you could tell the size, but since I didn't I will tell you that this palette is about the size of an iPhone 5. 
The Intense Blush Quad in collection 2 is the coral quad. All 4 are super pigmented!! Use a smaller brush tho. Just because these are a bit powdery. A round flat brush like the MAC 109 or Sonia Kashuk brush like this will do nicely!! I totally plan on getting the other 3 collections. This collection feels smooth, finger swatches are good on even bare skin. Of course the colors will not be this pigmented on the cheek with a round brush... but you could surely build up the color to where you would want it. The deep coral one is really interesting!
Listen I wish I could tell you that this is a quad to travel with.... but it's just soo big!! See my video to see this puppy next to my face. Watch my haul video on YouTube to see. Speaking of the video I forgot to show two products The Smokey palette and then the Be Matte blush in Blood Orange. Just the name is interesting enough. I haven't tried this blush on the face yet, but I put a brush to it and applied to the back of my hand. It runs a bright coral color. I need to start wearing this soon for it's all most the end of the summer. Not saying you couldn't wear this all year around, but alone.. I think mid September is the max. Well that is it for this post... I hope you guys watch my video below to hear more thoughts and visit the City Color website!!!
NOTES: I purchased all of these products. These are my true thoughts of the products so far.
