Silk Naturals Winter/Holiday 2014 Collection Swatches

I am so super excited to share with you today an awesome new collection from Silk Naturals!!!
There is so much awesomness to share, so let's just dive right in.
First of we have the handy dandy pressing kit!
Prefer pressed shadows over loose? Well now Silk Naturals is giving you all that you need to create your own freedom style magnetic palette(including an actual palette). And it works on mattes!!! Eek!
Here is a video demonstration on how I like to press a matte shade:

I also have a video on this collection where I try on all of the lip colors:


And now for the makeup.
There are 8 gorgeous iridescent eyeshadow just brimming with all that duochrome-y goodness. Love me some duochrome!
There is also a gorgeous illuminator called Close Up which has an ivory-golden soft candelight glow to it, so pretty!
And a highlighter called Reality, which has some iridescent pink with a touch of gold fine shimmer.
Lastly the popular Gift With Purchase Tchotchke blush is back, this time as a permanent item.

Here are lots of pics:
top row: Pilot, Plot Twist, Volume, P.S.
bottom row: Satellite, Boost, Network, Story
last 3 swatches are: Close-Up, Reality, Tchotchke







Then there are 6 new lip colors and 2 cream blushes
Swing was a color I loved way back when it was the Buttercream formula, unfortunately that formula was discontinued long ago, but Swing has been revived as a Slick Stick, yay!
Then there are 3 Amplifying Lip Glazes!!! Woohoo! I am obsessed with the ALG formula, so minty, and plumping, and glossy, just perfection! Live is a super pretty berry sheer jelly shade, Replay is like a pigmented version of Live with maybe a touch more red. And Spin-Off is a lovely nude-plummy-pink shade. On me it looks like the coveted Kylie Jenner lip look.
Then there are two gorgeous, rich and creamy and pigmented Organic Vegan lipsticks. I had never tried a chocolate brown before and was surprised of how nice it looked, I have been missing out!
And then the two cream blushes. The Big O is undoubtedly a clone/dupe of the NARS Multiple in Orgasm. And Hiatus is a lovely bright pink for the "just came in from the cold" look.

Swing, Live, Replay, Spin-Off, Cliffhanger, Script, The Big O, Hiatus




Indoors:
Swing, Live, Replay, Spin-Off, Cliffhanger, Script, The Big O, Hiatus


And that concludes the amazing Winter/Holiday 2014 Collection from Silk Naturals!

I am super excited to share with you today the Red Apple Lipstick 2014 Christmas Collection!!!
Click here to register for their Private VIP sale which will be held from Nov 17-24 to get your collection before it is available to the general public.

First up we have the lip colors, there are 6 gorgeous new shades in a new satin formula which feels velvety smooth while providing hydration to your lips. Then there are 2 new Mint2Be lip glosses which are my favorite lip gloss formula! Ever since going natural I had been majorly heartbroken over having to give up my Buxom lip glosses, but since I discovered the Mint2Be glosses I am missing the Buxoms no more!

Next there are 5 new eyeshadows. This is my first time experiencing RAL lipstick eyeshadows and they were a lovely soft texture, and I am especially smitten with Poise 'n Ivy!
The top shadow is En Point, the second row down is Golden Ticket and Taken for Granite, and the bottom row is Oh Shnapp! and Poise 'n Ivy


 Here are the eyeshadow swatches outdoor in direct sunlight:
