Cherryculture Haul!

As I mentioned a few posts ago, I took advantage of a family member's trip to the US to do some online shopping! I had never ordered from Cherryculture before, not wanting to pay Canadian shipping. My sister and I were lucky enough to be ordering at a time when they were running a 20% promo. They shipped our items quite fast, and thankfully the order was completed without error. I had read some blogs that warned of cherryculture's poor customer service and proclivity for order errors, so I was very happy that everything went smoothly! I love all the products I bought. Take a look!

Product List:

1- Milani, Luminous blush. Swatched here. 

2- NYX Round Lip Gloss, Whipped.

3- NYX Round Lipstick, Pumpkin Pie. 

4- Amuse Powder Blush Palette, 1

5- Amuse 16 Eyeshadow Palette

6- NYX Slide-On Pencil, Pretty Violet & Glitzy Gold

7- LA Colors 6 Color Eyeshadow, Cafe du Lait

8- LA Colors Mineral Pressed Powder, Sand & Toasted Almond

First Thoughts: NYX Round Lipgloss has a funky smell. Product is great otherwise! NYX Round Lipstick, is a very opaque nude shade.

First Thoughts: Amuse Powder Blush Palette was quite a surprise. Pigmented blushes, very soft to the touch, more pigmented than e.l.f. blushes. Quite impressed so far. The Gold colour in the top right hand corner is a great highlighter!

First Thoughts: Amuse 16 Eyeshadow Palette: The texture of these shadows reminds me of the 88 palette, a teensy bit. The neutral colors tend to have an immensely better texture that some of the more colourful ones, though there are exceptions. Wouldn't repurchase.

First Thoughts: NYX Slide On Eye Pencil: These eyeliners are extremely soft. It almost melts on the skin, which is good and bad.  Glitzy Gold goes on far more pigmented and even, than Pretty Violet- which took a little longer to get to the right colour evenness- if that makes sense!

First Thoughts: LA Colors 6 Eyeshadow Palette: These shadows are unlike the 5 colour eyeshadow palettes that you may be more familiar with through this brand. These shadows are incredible, except for the top left colour. Soft, velvet-y, long-lasting. They feel a lot  more expensive than they are! They don't even have that cheap creamy texture of some less expensive shadows. A must-have on your cherryculture list!

First Thoughts: LA Colors Mineral Pressed Powder: If only my sister and I were able to choose colors that matched us better, this would become my go-to daily face product. There were next to no swatches or reviews of this product online. The texture is just INCREDIBLE. No cakiness, applies smoothly. I can't say enough about this. *REVIEW FORTHCOMING.
