Black Friday brought many sales, including a great deal from Tick:Tock Cosmetics. Among the offers, I bought a few, one was a mega stocking stuffer which included three full size shadows, 6 samples and 1 Infinity Eye Shadow Base in Milky Way. The other, a full set of samples of their main line with an IES base. After talking with Tiffany she agreed to six deluxe samples (these are at least 1/4 tsp (double the normal size) which is about 1/2 the size of a normal 5gr jar.) and sent a full size of the eye shadow base as well!
I have to tell you, that I was really pleased with the shadows. I received full sizes in High Noon, Salvador Dali and Grandfather clock. All three home runs for me. As I usually do, I asked the owner for suggestions - and Tiffany did not disappoint. In addition, she sent three samples of her choice for the giveaway. Again - all really nice, pigmented shadows with a lot of sparkle. Some of the colors are more spectacular than they are described by Tick:Tock. Grandfather Clock has more glitter than just gold - there's some copper or red or something in it. The one thing in their favor is that they have close-ups of their shadows in jars, that show how gorgeous these shades can be.
- High Noon: a light brown with a hint of shimmer.
- Salvador Dali: a deep purple with purple and red shimmer and purple glitter.
- Grandfather Clock: a rich chocolatey brown with loads of gold shimmer and gold glitter
- Stop...Zombie Time! is a yellowish green with blue and aqua shimmer.
- Time Warp... Again: A true black, loaded with every color of shimmer imaginable.
- Time Square: a dark silver with loads of shimmer and sparkle.
This is my first experience with eye shadow bases from indie companies. I really like this product. everything above was swatched over Milky Way. At $4.00 for a 5gr jar, they are a good deal.
And now for the giveaway! Thank you to Tick:Tock Cosmetics for their generosity.
The teeny tiny fine print: All opinions are my own, no matter how ridiculous. I did not beg, borrow or steal the products that I reviewed. I purchased them with my own lunch money. Honest and semi-coherent reviews are the way to make a distinction between great companies who hand-formulate their products and those who take mica - repackage it, slap an organic/all natural tag on their products and call themselves a mineral make-up company. Honesty is my policy, even if I hurt a few feelings along the way.
The products for this giveaway were provided by Tick:Tock cosmetics. All swatches from my own personal inventory.
FYI: I am left handed.
