LittleStuff4U Review

Happy Thursday everyone, 

Today I'm going to be doing a long overdue review of LittleStuff4U. They offer handmade mineral cosmetics and I was super excited to work with them as I've never used handmade cosmetics before! 

I was sent a lovely package filled with goodies and I'm in love. 

My first product is the Eye Shimmeral. I got two colors, Pixie Dust and Riverstone. Both came in a small baggie with a sticker on the front showing the color and brand. Because they are samples, the baggies work, however I did have a difficult time getting the product out and on to my brush. But there is so much product in these baggies! Enough to last you a looong time, so I highly recommend going for the samples available on her shop before splurging for a full sized product. 

Riverstone is on the left, and is a shimmery, deep rose brown color. It works beautifully as a crease shade and has just enough shimmer to add a pop to your look without overpowering the eye. Pixie Dust is very hard to see in the above swatch, but in real life it's a subtle creamy color with some shimmer. It works well as a base color for shimmery looks but could be too much for an every day look. The colors pair nicely together for a fall or winter look. 

Next up I was sent some foundation and setting powder. There was a powder foundation, a cream foundation, and a powder setting powder. 

Below you can see the swatches on my arm. The top color is the powder mineral foundation. It was super smooth to apply and provided nice coverage, something I often have difficult finding in a powder foundation. It was soft and lovely to the touch due to the incredibly fine sifting of the powder. 

Below the powder foundation is the Dream Cream foundation. It's rather thick and difficult to apply if you have little experience with cream foundations, so I don't recommend this foundation for beginners. It provides some serious heavy coverage and I find it most useful to use as a concealer under my eyes to lighten and brighten. It doesn't feel heavy, and like the powder foundation it's seriously soft to the touch. 

Finally, next to the mineral powder foundation is the setting powder. I am a HUGE fan of setting powders because I love the matte look it leaves over the foundation. This setting powder did not disappoint. It was just as soft as the other foundations and left a nice matte finish on whatever it was applied over.

Finally, let's get to my favorite thing to review, lipsticks!

I was sent the Baby Pink Vanilla Essence Lipstick and it is amazing. I'm usually not a pink lipstick person simply because it doesn't look good with my coloration, but this has an amazing formula and smells wonderful. 

The color is soft and not too intense that it overpowers your face. It's just deep enough to notice a difference on your lips, but not deep enough that you notice a ring of color when it starts to fade. It's the perfect every day shade.  It's easy to apply with a brush or out of a tube and glides on smoothly without tugging. It also smells just like vanilla, which makes it difficult not to just eat it.
