She Space Drama Queens, Camellia Rose and DreamWorld Foundation

Drama Queens with a sprinkling of shadows from the regular line

I just got my Drama Queen shadows from The She Space and I super love this new formula. I think this is right up there with the original formula, if not better. Oh gosh! The pigmentation is just incredible! I haven't tried them out yet, but I think I don't even need to foil these babies to achieve maximum color pay-off. The most beautiful shades from the Drama Queens that I got are All That Buzz and Bella Diablo. Just gorgeous! Swatching these elicited an audible "Oh wow!" from me. Wasted Intrigue, Foxy Fairy and Be lovely are also breathtaking. Let the swatches speak for themselves. These were applied wet without a base:




EDIT: By Lovely should read Be Lovely

I also received my version 2 of Camellia Rose's Skin Smoothing Primer. Yay! This V2 was specifically fomulated by Jen for sensitive skin. I can't wait to use this (of course, after I finish my current ginormous tub of her original primer). I also received my green tea shea and rose shea soap bars that Jen specially made for combination (mine!) and oily skin. Jen also threw in a generous sample of her Pearl Cream. Now this I have to try. Thank you SO much Jen!


My Camellia Rose haul


Side by side with my Joppa Brown Sugar and Cinnamon goat milk soap

I used to think that my perfect foundation shade in DreamWorld was a mix of Theia and Minerva. I think that Minerva turned out to be a tad too light, so I mixed Tethys with Theia instead, and I think I had a little "Eureka!" moment when I looked in the mirror. I didn't look too washed out or too orange/dark even in person. Here is a look using my Theia-Tethys mix, and my Joppa eyeshadow (used it with She Space). I like the texture of Joppa eyeshadows because they are not too sparkly and have amazing color pay-off.
