Hi Guys and Dolls! I was recently sent a few Heavenly Natural items from the Shimmer Network to review.  So Bam: Here you go.

Swatched over NYX’s “Milk” jumbo pen­cil & then noth­ing From L-R: Beauty Marked, Hush a Bye, Fire Fly, Unashamed, Look At Me

These items were sent to me free of charge for review­ing pur­poses by the Shimmer Network, how­ever this com­pany sells their prod­ucts for a very nice price point. Their eye­shad­ows sell for around $4.99 & the lip­gloss sells for $6.99. More infor­ma­tion of pric­ing can be found at  http://www.heavenlynaturalbeauty.com/ (Use the coupon code “shim­mer” for 10% off of $15 or more order)

I was sent 3 of the Neon Pigments, A  Mineral Lipgloss and 2 sam­ples of their eye­shadow. Now, the neon pig­ments are listed under the eye­shadow cat­e­gory, but in the list­ing, it stated that the neon pig­ments are not FDA approved for use on the eyes. I tried using these on my lips, and the pink turned out GREAT, but the pur­ple and yel­low turned out weird. SO I’m really at a loss for how to review these. I did go ahead and try them as eye­shad­ows, and they worked great, but since that’s not tech­ni­cally safe….Well, I’m going to leave that open ended. These did arrive with a plas­tic seal, and I really felt that that was a nice touch, it was a bit beyond what most internet-based min­eral com­pa­nies do.

The two eye­shadow sam­ples I received are great! Hush a  Bye is a shim­mery mid-tone blue with golden shim­mer and Beauty Marked is a nice medium to light pur­ple. Both have a smooth appli­ca­tion and a nice “cling” –Not all min­eral com­pa­nies have that. Overall I was impressed with these two, and when I get a chance, I’ll try this company’s eye­shad­ows again.

The Lipgloss is inter­est­ing.  It has a very pleas­ant candy-cane type scent that I really like. Lately I’ve really liked minty gloss as I feel it gives me fresher breath. This one didn’t sting like some of the other minty glosses I have been using. I liked that this was a sheer wash of color. This lip­gloss is also very shiny.  On the web­site, they claim that this lip­gloss is rich and thick with­out being sticky.  I found it to be incred­i­bly watery. It actu­ally felt runny.   In fact, I’m pretty sure it was get­ting in my mouth, since my mouth started tast­ing minty (and I’d just eaten). If you like minty lip­gloss, and don’t mind if it’s very very thin, then this is for you. I did notice that my lips felt very soft and mois­tur­ized after I used this.

I know this review seems a bit  jum­bled.  That’s sort of how I feel. I really don’t care much for the gloss, but I know some peo­ple like that sort of gloss, so I fig­ured I’d share the specs. I really liked the eye­shad­ows, but I don’t really have enough of them to try for a tuto­r­ial. I like the  neon pig­ments, but those aren’t eye safe. I will say this: If you wanted the MACPro Neon Pigments, but just can’t com­mit to a whole $19 jar (who is going to use that whole thing?), get these, since they are only $5!

Another thing that’s really cool about this com­pany is that they list the ingre­di­ents on the products!

These items were sent to me free of charge for review­ing pur­poses by the Shimmer Network.
