Hey there!
Welcome back!
Today I've got a special video for you, I'm
bringing you my Top 10 Favorite Indie Beauty
Products.
This is a collaboration video with my friend
Tori from Biohazardous Beauty.
She loves indie products just as much as I
do.
So we thought it would be awesome if we did
a collaboration about indie beauty.
Tori is known for her bright and gothic makeup
looks.
I think she does amazing looks.
I have total eye envy because of her eye shape.
Her eyes are gorgeous!
We both share a love of indie products and
we feel like they don't get enough recognition.
We're hoping that by shining a light on indie,
you'll consider checking them out.
My first pick is Notoriously Morbid Osteomancy
highlighter.
This is a vegan highlighter.
It's an iridescent white with silvery blue
shift.
I'm wearing it mixed with Aromaleigh Ostara
in this video.
I really needed to get my glow on.
Here's what it looks like in the jar.
I'm just going to swatch it on the back of
my hand.
That's not even blended out.
I'm a dork.
If you don't apply it stupidly thick like
I just did, it's going to give you a beautiful
silvery blue highlight.
It's kind of ethereal.
If you have pale skin this is going to be
so flattering on you.
Notoriously Morbid also makes other great
products.
They have really cool matte liquid lipsticks,
which made my Top 10 Best Indie Lipstick Brands
post.
I'm not sure if you've seen that yet but I'll
put a link in the description box below so
you can check out the 100 lipstick swatches.
I feel like I have to do an honorable mention
of Douglas Firs.
This is an eyeshadow that's pressure sensitive.
It's a green that turns a bit blue.
It works really well with blues and greens
and teals.
It's a fun color.
For my second pick, I've got Aromaleigh Cheek
Products.
Aromaleigh makes really great contour powders,
blushes and highlighters.
I'm actually wearing Ostara mixed with Notoriously
Morbid Osteomancy.
I'm also wearing Ishtar blush.
It's a vivid berry pink with a blue duochrome.
I love it on me!
I think it's pretty.
Aromaleigh's also one of the only companies
that I know that the contour powders they
offer come in greyed violet, greyed blue,
greyed mauve and a greyed buff.
They're really cool colors that work really
well, especially if you have pale skin like
me.
Because they are multi-purpose, you can use
them as contour, blush, or eyeshadow.
My third pick is the Lunatick Cosmetic Labs
HD Powder.
First up can we talk about how awesome the
packaging is for this powder?
It comes in an ouija board planchette packaging,
with a mirror, and the top slides open to
reveal the powder.
I think it's really cool.
It's a really good pressed powder.
I LOVE the packaging.
I think it's awesome!
I wish more brands had cool packaging like
this.
Lunatick also has a multi-purpose contour
palette that I've reviewed on my blog.
You can use it as blush, contour or eyeshadow.
I think it looks cool because it looks like
a Necronomicon - book of the Dead.
They are all vegan.
Number four is Fyrinnae.
Fyrinnae eyeshadows and of course Fyrinnae
Pixie Epoxy.
You couldn't have awesome eyeshadows without
Pixie Epoxy.
If you've never used Pixie Epoxy, it's basically
like a mixing medium sticky base.
You put it on your eye and spread it into
a thin layer, then brush your eyeshadow on
top of it.
Then the magic happens.
I'm just using my finger to apply Lost Lenore
on top of Pixie Epoxy.
I'm sure you can see this is Lost Lenore,
it's an Arcane Magic eyeshadow.
It's super sparkly.
The Pixie Epoxy basically brings it to life.
It brings out any duochrome or multichrome
properties, enhances the sparkle and prevents
fallout.
It makes it beautiful and it takes your eyeshadow
game to the next level.
It is absolutely a must have product to me.
Number 5 is the Makeup Geek Pressed Eyeshadows.
I've been a fan of Makeup Geek since their
inception.
I love the fact that they're cruelty free,
talc free, paraben free with some vegan options.
They offer over 100 eyeshadows at this point.
So that's pretty impressive.
And I know a lot of people are afraid of loose
eyeshadow, so they're a really great cruelty
free option for people who like Mac but they
don't want to buy Mac anymore because Mac
isn't cruelty free and is selling in China
but they want pressed eyeshadows.
They have all kinds of different finishes
like foiled, duochrome, mattes and shimmers.
So you're bound to find an eyeshadow or three
that you love.
Number 6 is Sugarpill eyeshadows.
Sugarpill is the original (OG) bright eyeshadow
brand to me.
I remember when they launched in Feb. 2010.
They've done nothing but improve since then.
I love their pressed shades like Acidberry,
Velocity and Mochi.
They have a lot of great loose eyeshadow colors
too.
And you're getting a TON of product in these,
so I think they're a GREAT value for the price.
Most of their products are vegan.
If you have that as a concern you'll be able
to find something that you love.
Number 7 on my list is Silk Naturals Velvet
Matte Lipsticks.
I love these lipsticks because it's a moisturizing
matte formula.
They come in a wide variety of shades.
Peplum which is purple, Chemise is a bright
hot pink, Vice is a peachy nude, and Underground
is a deep taupe brown.
They have tons of shades and I have tons of
swatches up on my blog.
I really like the formula.
I feel like Silk Naturals is kind of like
the unsung hero of the Indie World.
They have everything!
They have a ton of eyeshadows, and they're
probably best known for their vegan clones
of the Urban Decay Naked Palettes and the
Too Faced Peach Palette.
If you're looking for a company that is 100%
vegan all organic, gluten free and cruelty
free, this is the company for you.
Number 8 is Darling Girl Ghoul School, inspired
by Monster High.
This is a collection that I helped Susan of
Darling Girl create.
It's based off of the Monster High Dolls that
we both love.
There's lots of gorgeous purples.
Some great shades are Vegan Vampire and Siren
Chic.
Darling Girl has other really cool collections
too.
Like Oh the Horror and Scream Queens.
And they also make a glitter glue, which is
similar to pixie epoxy.
If you find that Pixie Epoxy doesn't work
for your body chemistry, try Glitter Glue.
Number 9 is Saucebox Cosmetics.
As far as I can tell Saucebox blew up in popularity
at an IMATS or Makeup Show and I'm not sure
which.
They've been a huge success ever since.
They make a ton of palettes, this is the Limited
Edition Batalash palette.
They're best known for their Etude Palette.
That's a multi-purpose neutral palette.
It has contour shades, eyeshadow shades and
brow shades.
It's a really great multi-purpose palette.
And the thing that I really like about them
is that their eyeshadow pans are interchangeable
with Sugarpill.
So you can pop them out and customize your
own palette.
And their cruelty free symbol is a standard
poodle.
The owner of the company also has a standard
poodle like I do.
So I really love them because of that.
Number 10 on my list is Jeffree Star Velour
Liquid Lipsticks.
I love these!
They are a GREAT formula.
Weirdo is a fantastic black.
I really like I'm Royalty.
It's a great purple.
I love the packaging with the hot pink lid
and the rose gold.
I feel like there's been a lot of attention
to detail to making sure that doe foot inside
is just right for hugging the lips.
I like the formula of these lipsticks.
I think that they're really great.
Ok I have one honorable mention and that's
because it's not a makeup product.
Cocoa Pink makes amazing perfumes.
If you love indie perfumes.
This is Hawaiian Cake.
I'm wearing Pina Colada Cotton Candy right
now.
So if you're looking for really great gourmand
scents, like sexy foodie scents (my favorite),
this is the company to go to.
They also make great indie hair products like
ShamPink Sulfate free shampoo and Argan Therapy
Creme conditioner.
I highly recommend checking them out.
Ok so those are my current top 10 favorite
indie products.
I'm sure you can see why I had a lot of trouble
narrowing it down to just 10.
