Twisted Fayte - Rockstars Collection

My long-waited Twisted Fayte Rockstars collection is finally here! It arrived together with my Sundressing pigments that I bought from someone in CC. Well, let's just skip the sad part about a pinch versus 1/4 tsp and proceed on to admiring my haul from TF! Wait! Haven't I just received one package not long ago, scroll down and there! Just two posts away, I just had a TF package arriving. Where's the pictures!? None I must admit, so to give our eyes a treat, I took pictures of the pigments with the cap open and even did a swatch on my hands!

Admire with desire alright, not my hand!! The pigments!! :P

First, the Naked Angel Water Shouffle missed out from the previous order. Review : It is meant to be used as an eyeshadow base. When applied, there is this cooling sensation, not that it is significant, but just thought that I will point it out. As an eyeshadow base, it helps the pigment adhere to the eyelid, and prevent creasing of the eyeshadow especially if you have double/triple eyelids that are exceptionally oily. Also, it brings out the colour of the eyeshadow, and evidence of that in later photos.

Now for the neutrals, whites and pinkish colours.

The blues... I think they are really pretty.

Notice that the third colour from the left looks really sheer when applied alone? I then dabbed a bit of the purple shimmer shouffle (the one on the extreme right) before applying the same colour again. It is the turquoise patch above the third swatch. Looks really pretty now right? :)

The greens! My favourite!

Finally, the darker colours. The one on the extreme right was brown on the website, not sure why it became whitish. DEoxidation perhaps? :P


I've also ordered the lip shouffles. Review : These are really lovely, with the most perfect descriptions of colours as listed on the website. However, when I tried the middle on my lips, there was this really funny smell that put me off. It tasted like those very synthetic lipsticks that old women wear and it was really runny. Not sure if it is to be used as a gloss or a lippie, so maybe tomorrow I will try it with a lipbalm under it first.  I am rather particular about the smell and taste of my lip products. I have thrown away brand new lipsticks just because the smell is such a turn-off. Maybe this will work for someone else, I'm not sure. :) But the colours are really perfect!

That's all for now! Probably this will be my last......Twisted Fayte package in the next 2 months? haha, I don't have much interest in their latest collection. And this time, she didn't include any free samples for me! *sulks*

Sweetscents up next! One from Ebay and one from my dear Lin.

Stephy is just simply too gorgeous 9:39 AM
