Beauty from the Mail.

Hello, and thanks for the thumbs up, mailman did brought me something today!

And I did something with my new goodies too, I did this:

So did you guess what the mailman brought me today?

Package from BftE cosmetics!

 

I'm doing looks for their get-the-look gallery, and they were kind enough to send me 20 samples and Mix & Fix as a thank you!

I love the colors, they are really vibrant and pretty and mostly really original (at least to me).

I found out that

Black & White:

  

This is really pretty dark color, with silver sparkles.

Blacklisted:
 

This reminds me of MAC Blue Flame. It has a dark base, and blue sparkles in it.

Blue bird:

  

Amazing electric blue.This is one of the most amazing blue's that I have ever seen!

Clear Skies

  

Sweet baby blue.

Spellbound:

  

Niceblue shade, I think this shifts a bit to gray.

Puzzled:

 

This is maybe really more gray than blue, but it definately still haves a lot blue in it.

Atomic Teal

This is quite awesome color too. It looks almost black, but it still manages to be beautiful teal :D

Sour:

 

Bright green with lots of shimmer.

Gem:

 

Even though this is one of the primary pigments, I kinda fell in love with this. It's really pretty, and I'm not really sure should I label it to be green, blue, teal or just something else :D

Saturday Morning:

On the jar this reminds me a lot of MAC's Rated "R" and Chartreuse and Pagan, but swatched it turns out to be a lot greener:

 

 

Shopaholic:

This is really pretty "true yellow".

Soleil:

As much as I love bright colors, I have to say that this one really took my heart. This is just truly amazing. I don't even know why I like it so much, I just know it's BEAUTIFUL. It really doesn't show up as yellow, it's more of pearly color.

Crush:

Peachy orange, reminds me of MUFE's star powder i have.

Harvest:

This is almost exact dupe of Ben Nye's Indian Copper. So if you want a cheap alternative to it, this is definately it. Check the swatch pic later in the post.

Vamp:

This was amazingly hard to photograph. 

It looks red in the jar, pink-toned red in pic, and it's closer to rust than red swatched :D

Really nice color!

Heat:

This is really close dupe to MAC Gold Mode pigment. Again, this is a cheap alternative for it :D

Gable:

This is really pretty color, it looks golden brown, but swatched turns out that it has almost purple shifter in it. BftE website says it's: "Deep brown with black undertones and green and pink sparkles"

Livid:

This reminds me a lot of MSCHIC's Metallic Orchid eyeshadow, which only means that this is really sweet purple.

Romp:

I don't know why, but this manages to remind me of MAC's Parfait Amour and Cornflower mixed :D 

I can assure you that the swatchpics won't give right to this one!

Grape:

Well this is also one of the primary pigments, and this was the only one I already had.

I still think this is one of the most amazing purples I've ever seen.

And some swatches:

Here's in the sunlight:

And in natural (non-sun) light:

And here's the same photo, but with names :D

And here's "dupes, if you looking for a cheaper option for MAC Gold Mode, Ben Nye indian Copper or MAC Blue Flame. Never mind the Kat von D, I thought it would be a dupe, but it wasn't :3

And then the look I did with my new goodies:
