Jessica Cosmetics Indie Fest Collection - Swatches & Review

 PRESS SAMPLE

Monday - we met again.  I hope everyone has had a great weekend.  I have no idea what this week will bring.  I believe some of our restrictions will start to lift this week.  And when I say that there really isn't much of a change to be honest.  Our curfew will be slightly lifted (it will be 9pm-5am instead of 8pm-5am) and I believe exercise is allowed for two hours instead of one.  Woohoo!  I honestly can't wait for some form of normalcy.  Anyway, today I have swatches and a review of the Indie Fest Collection  from Jessica Cosmetics.

Bestie is an off white crelly with a red/copper flecks.  This is such a gorgeous colour.  I really like this one.  The formula is great and easy to use.  For my swatch I used two coats.

Center Stage is a bright pink toned coral creme.  Again, a pretty shade with a great formula.  My swatch shows two coats.

Desert Dust is a brown crelly with golden shimmer.  This is a nice colour but not really my type of shade.  The formula is great and is opaque in two coats.

Dream Catcher is described as a dusty mauve.  I'm not a fan of this colour at all.  It's what I would consider to be a "mature" shade.  The formula is great though.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Headliner is a pastel blue creme.  This one is gorgeous and the formula is awesome for such a light shade.  It is a little streaky on the first coat but evens out on the second which is what my swatch shows.

Petal Power is an orange toned creme.  I'm on the fence about this colour on me.  I can't work out if I like it or not.  Anyway, the formula is great and easy to use.  My swatch shows two coats.

One thing with Jessica Cosmetics is that you can guarantee that you will have great formulas.  I am yet to come across a terrible formula of theirs.  This collection isn't a favourite of mine overall, but I do love Headliner and Bestie.

The Indie Fest Collection is available now from Jessica Cosmetics.
 

Jessica Cosmetics California Girl Collection - Swatches & Review

PRESS SAMPLE

Spring is definitely my favourite season of the year.  It's not too hot and it's not too cold, plus there is usually plenty of sunshine and lots of pretty colours.  Jessica Cosmetics have brought out a great collection for Spring (although now that I write this I have a feeling that it is actually a summer collection).  No matter what the season it's a good collection.

Cool In The Pool is a light blue creme.  I think this is such a pretty colour and would look really cute with some floral nail art over it (I wish I had thought of that earlier).  The formula is easy to use, although it is a little streaky over the first coat so I needed three coats for full coverage.

Desert Sunset is light pink/orange creme.  This is such a pretty and fresh colour.  Like with Cool In The Pool the formula is easy to work with and is a little patchy on the first coat.  I used two coats for my swatch, but I did do a thicker second coat.

Malibu Barbie is a coral pink shimmer.  This is really pretty polish but it is super sheer.  If you know me then you will know that I don't like visible nail lines and I believe that this polish won't build up enough to cover that.  With that said, I am a big fan of this polish as a topper.  It's applies well and has a good amount of shimmer.  For my swatch I used one coat over Desert Sunset. 

Ocean Waves is a teal creme.  Like all teals this one doesn't play nicely with my camera.  My camera turns it a little more blue when in fact it leans more green toned.  The formula is fantastic - in fact I would say that it is in this collection.  It has good opacity and applies easily.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Popsicle Kisses is a coral pink creme.  This is my favourite polish in this collection.  I am a huge fan of the colour and the formula is great.  My swatch shows two coats.

Valley Girl is a pink creme.  Really pretty colour with a good formula.  It does apply a little patch on the first coat but a second thicker coat does even it out.  My swatch shows two coats.

How pretty is this collection?  I am a big fan.  I think the colours are all really pretty and the formulas are easy to use (even if some are a little patchy).  What do you think about this collection?  Let me know in the comments.

Jessica Cosmetics Tea Party Collection - Swatches & Review

PRESS SAMPLE

Seriously where is time going?  I have been so busy of late that my days are all mashing together.  But things should kinda calm down a little for me in the next couple of weeks as my daughter needs to have some surgery next week so my focus with be on her and her recovery.  But let's talk about some nicer and more fun things - nail polish! Last week I shared with you a great collection of nude/neutral polishes from Jessica Cosmetics (you can see the Blushing Beauty Collection here if you are interested) and today I have the Tea Party Collection to share with you.  This is definitely the collection I am most excited about.  I love pastels for spring...well for any time of year really.  They are just so pretty!

Blueberry Cream is a light blue creme.  I love this one.  The colour is gorgeous and the formula is fantastic.  It applies even and is opaque in two coats.

Earl Grey is a light grey creme.  Big fan of this one too.  It's a great colour and the formula is great too.  For my swatch I used two coats.

Lavender Love is a lavender purple creme.  I love the colour of this one but the formula isn't a favourite.  It's quite sheer and applies patchy on the first coat but does build up on the second coat.  I used three coats for my swatch because it was still looking patchy.

Love You Very Matcha! is a light green creme.  Big fan of this one too.  Again, the colour is great and the formula is easy to use.  For my swatch I used two coats.

Pumpkin Spice is an orange creme.  Just to sound like a broken record here - this one is great!  I really like the colour and the formula is so good and easy to use.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Yellow Meringue is a yellow creme.  This one actually surprised me.  I was expecting the formula to be the same as Lavender Love (because yellows are normally a little more difficult to deal with) but nope.  For such a light colour the formula is fantastic!  It is a little patchy but it is really easy to work with.  Plus the colour is gorgeous!  For my swatch I used three coats but only because it looked a tiny bit patchy still on the second coat.  If you can get you coats relatively even then you could stop at two coats.

I am a huge fan of this collection.  The colours are all beautifuly (and perfect for this time of year) and the formulas (for the most part) are great.  The one complaint I have about this collection is that it's missing a pink.  Having a pink would have made this collection even better - plus there would be sooooooo many nail art options.  Speaking of which, I was hoping to get some nail art done using this collection before this post went up but time wasn't on my side.  There will be some nail art coming in the near future (I hope).

The Tea Party Collection is available now from Jessica Cosmetics.

Jessica Cosmetics Blushing Beauty Collection - Swatches & Review

PRESS SAMPLE

Hello! Hello!  Happy Thursday everyone.  How is everyone's week going?  Mine has been unbelievably busy and really isn't going to slow down much any time soon.  Anyway, I was lucky enough to receive two new collections from Jessica Cosmetics.  I will be sharing the Tea Party Collection with you soon.  Today I have the Blushing Beauty Collection to show you.

Chocolate Bronze described as a milk chocolate creme.  I'm not convinced I like this shade on me - however the formula is fantastic and would be great in nail art.  For my swatch I used two coats.

Sweet Kiss is described as a beige pink creme.  I like this one.  I think the colour is quite pretty and again the formula is great!  I used two coats for my swatch.

You Make Me Blush is described as a caramel creme.  I think for me this polish would be better with some nail art on top as I'm not sure I am loving it on it's own.  The formula is a little bit patchy on the first coat but it does even out on the second which is what I used for my swatch.

If you are in the market for some good formula nude based cremes then this is a good collection to start with.  

I did have quick look on the Jessica Cosmetics site and it appears as though two of these shades have sold out already (You Make Me Blush is still available) - but there are some STUNNING looking Christmas shades and some other gorgeous shades in the Phenom range that are worth having a look at.

Jessica Cosmetics Autumn Romance Collection - Swatches & Review

PRESS SAMPLE

It's officially July which means that we are nearly half way through winter (mid July is half way) and I can not wait!  I am definitely a Spring girl.  It's not too hot and not too cold.  Plus sunshine!  I miss the sun.  But one good thing about winter is the polishes.  I do like some of the rich, vampy shades that winter brings.  Like some of the ones in the Autumn Romance Collection by Jessica Cosmetics.

Fallen Leaves is a brick red creme.  Now while this one isn't my type of colour I can see why it is in this collection.  I think it would be great in some Autumn nail art.  In terms of the formula, I can't fault it.  It applies like a dream and you could easily stop at one coat.  For my swatch I used two coats.

Mauve-lous Nights is a mauve creme.  This is such a great colour and the formula is fantastic.  It's super close to being a one coater, but I used two coats for my swatch.

Picture taken in light box

Morning Haze is a grey creme with a copper shimmer.  This is an interesting shade.  I do wish that it looked more like it did in the bottle when it is on the nails.  I find the shimmer really stands out in the bottle but disappears on the nails.  That said, I do like this polish.  The formula is great and is easy to use.  My swatch shows two coats.

Natural Splendor is described as a nude creme.  This one definitely has a pinkish undertone.  I'm not sure I like it on my nails.  The formula is great and it applies evenly.  My swatch shows two coats.

Picture taken in light box

Toasted Pecans is a brown creme.  I don't really have too much to say about this one.  I personally don't like brown nails, but this one could be good for nail art.  The formula is great and is close to being a one coater.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Picture taken in light box

Wine Country is described as a dark mauve.  This is such a nice rich colour that is perfect for winter.  It's dark and vampy, but it's not so dark that it looks black.  The formula is great and is easy to use.  I used two coats for my swatch.

I'm a little on the fence about this collection.  I like half of the colours, but don't like the other half.  The formulas though are fantastic.  I am so impressed with the consistency that Jessica Cosmetics have across the two collections I have tried so far.

The Autumn Romance Collection is available now from Jessica Cosmetics.

Jessica Cosmetics Rendezvous Collection - Swatches & Review

PRESS SAMPLE

I always love playing with new products and trying out new brands (both new to the market and new to me brands) so when I was approached by Jessica Cosmetics to swatch some of their polishes I naturally said yes.  They are definitely not a new brand but they most certainly are new to me and I have heard some good things about their polishes plus they have some gorgeous looking colours so really I had no reason not to say yes.  I have two of their Autumn/Winter collections to share with you - starting with the Rendezvous Collection.

Illicit Love is a wine creme.  I am a big fan of this colour.  It is perfect for winter.  The formula of this one is fantastic  It is easy to use and applies evenly.  For my swatch I used two coats.

Mystery Date is described as a deep wine creme.  Reds aren't really my cup of tea, but this is one is great for winter.  The formula of this one is great.  Like with Illicit Love it applies even and is so easy to work with.  For my swatch I used two coats.

Night Cap is described as a light grey creme.  I am a big fan of this one.  I think this would also look great mattified (which I should do - I'm still wearing it now).  Like the others in this collection - this formula is great as well.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Each of these shades are perfect for the cooler weather and I am impressed with the formulas.  They are so easy to use and apply evenly.

The Rendezvous Collection is available now from Jessica Cosmetics.
