Gorgeous Cosmetics....truly gorgeous!

Gorgeous Cosmetics feature from my instagram @adrienneroyale

One of the best things about social media especially Instagram is the beauty community and finding new companies and products you never heard of! I found out about a company called Gorgeous Cosmetics and one look through their profile I knew they were just that, "Gorgeous"! I had to try their products and do a review! What I chose from Gorgeous Cosmetics is their foundation, Romance Smokey Eyes eyeshadow palette, two Colour Flash Glitters in Icicle and Mardi Gras and their Glitz Fix Adhesive! Let's get on to my thoughts!

Foundation-

I have been using this foundation for about the last week and I have to say I really like it! I love the coverage that it provides and how long lasting it is. It does come off a little yellow on me and the shade is not a perfect match. That doesn't have anything to do with the product, just more of the shade that I selected. We all know how hard it is to pick the perfect shade from your phone screen! The foundation has a pleasant scent to it; it smells like a like perfumed lotion. I personally love it because I think it smells clean and fresh. My husband on the other hand hates it! The first day I wore it and he came home and kissed me, he backed away then, came back towards my face and smelt my face and said I smell "makeup-ey" Haha I found it funny that he actually noticed the scent! The smell is all personal preference but it is something that lingers on your skin,

The foundation works great with every primer I have tried besides my YSL primer, with that one it broke up in areas around my mouth and nose after about two hours of wear. Pairing the foundation with my Dr Brandt Pores No More was my favorite combination, there was no breaking up on my face, no oxidizing and lasted around 6-7 hours. What I noticed about this foundation that I love is that it doesn't make my skin look oily! I am able to layer the foundation to achieve full coverage. Overall I'm happy with it; I would love it if the color matched me better!


Colour Flash Glitter in Icicle and Mardi Gras and their Glitz Fix Adhesive


This was fun to try! I'm not huge into glitter but thought with the holidays right around the corner it would be perfect! Boy was I right! The Colour Flash Glitter is stunning! Icicle is a pretty sliver and Mardi Gras is a bright pink. Both are extremely fine loose glitter (I did use it on my eye lids with the Glitz Fix Adhesive) which worked perfectly together!

I did my eye makeup like normal then applied the Glitz Fix Adhesive on top of my eyeshadow. It did not smudge my shadows at all or make a mess. It doesn't feel gooey like other glitter glues I have tried in the past either. I let the Glitz Fix Adhesive sit for a couple of seconds then applied the glitter with a brush, I let it sit for a few more seconds until I felt it was dry, applied my liner and mascara and was good to go! I was amazed how well the glitter stuck to the Glitz Fix! I experienced minimal glitter fall out which I just brushed away easily with a powder brush.



Throughout the day the glitter stayed on with no fall out. There was absolutely no cracking or caking up of the Glitz Fix. Honestly this stuff is amazing together and I now want all of the glitters! This is better than the Too Faced glue and that was a favorite! When I washed my face before bed, everything was easy to remove with eye makeup remover. This is by far my favorite combo and products I tried from Gorgeous Cosmetics!

Romance Smokey Eyes Eyeshadow Palette-



Wow!! These shades in the Romance Smokey Eyes Eyeshadow Palette are stunning! While looking on Gorgeous Cosmetics website, I was instantly drawn to this palette! You have warm and cool toned, dark and light shades. Four colors and it's enough to make an entire eye look! I usually have to add in other palettes to create a look, not with this though, you have a great under the brow shade, crease color, lid and under the lash line! You can even switch it up for multiple looks! The case it comes in is travel friendly and the shadow sizes are large! This will last me a long time. The colors are pigmented, no fall out and last all day long with no fading. My favorite color is the palette is the Dusk Rose!



I am so impressed with this brand! Everything is top quality products, including their customer service and shipping! They have many products to choose from, something to fit everyone's needs! I defiantly recommend Gorgeous Cosmetics! Have you ever tried anything from their line? If so, what was your experience?
