Info & Review:
Only the finest mineral pigments go into buff'd Cosmetics eye shadows allowing for great wearability and colors that will never fade. Can be applied wet or dry.
I found these eye shadows to be nicely pigmented with a soft and smooth texture. In fact, their smooth texture was something I extra noted when I was testing these out. Very smooth and blendable.
Out of the three shades from the Fall 2012 Collection, Eve is my favorite but I like them all.

On their website, the shade Morello is described as an intense black with shimmering cherry highlights. Although I found it to be a little different in person. When I poured some of the product out to test it, it appeared to be a brown/purple with golden shimmer. When swatched it was more of a deep plum with shimmer. Regardless, I find the shade really pretty and would work great as an eye liner or as an eye shadow.

Info & Review:
A concentrated formula of all-natural minerals and pigments. A little bit goes a long way, so be sure not to use too much.
The texture was nice; soft and blendable. Nice pigmentation too. The color is nice; it's a cool based pink with subtle shimmer. I liked the formula and I liked the shade.

Info & Review:
Only the finest ingredients combine for a versatile and super long-wearing lipstick while remaining gentle and soothing on your lips.
I did find the texture to be very smooth, and even applying it with my pinky it still applied nicely to my lips. Felt very comfortable and smooth, and had great pigmentation.
One thing I wasn't fond of was the cinnamon-like scent these had; just not my sort of scent but may be something you love. I'm not even sure why it smells that way since cinnamon isn't anywhere listed on the ingredients. But it is a nice scent for fall!
The shades may not be my cup of tea (I prefer pink, nude and peach shades) but I did love the formula of these lipsticks!
