Blackbird Cosmetics Review and Swatches

I loved the first order of eye shadow samples I got earlier this month from Blackbird Cosmetics so I recently purchased her Neutral Matte Volume 2 collection.

Ordered: September 20th

Arrived: September 26th

She added another note which is always nice to get (plus she spelled my name right, score!) and she added a coupon to her store.

The samples! Let me just start off by saying that I’m in love with these colors, they are so wonderful. As I said in my last review, all of her makeups go on really well and stay all day when used over primer.

Top to Bottom:

Half Full, Modesty, Juliet, Figment, Smudge

It’s not as clear in this picture but Half Full is a beautiful almost glowing ivory shade. It’s a beautiful shade for a highlighter, which is something I’ve been hunting for for a few months! Juliet is a little bit more orange in this light than in other lighting, but either way it looks nice. I thought I wouldn’t like Modesty very much, but it goes on as a really subtle pale yellow shade that I actually like a lot.

Top to Bottom:

Atlas, Vintage, Whisper, Everest, Ruca

Let me start off by saying that Vintage and Ruca may be my new favorite eye shadows ever. They are the reason I bought this whole collection and I was definitely not disappointed! Whisper is also a beautiful shade that I’m excited to wear. Everest is the only color in this whole collection that I don’t love, but I kind of knew that would be the case when I saw the colors online. Overall, I’m incredibly pleased and excited about the collection!

I used Half Full, Figment and Vintage for this look.

I have a feeling I’m going to be trying a lot of different makeup looks for the next few days!

My overall review is that I really really like everything I’ve gotten from Blackbird Cosmetics. She ships super fast and the makeup is really good quality.

I’d definitely recommend trying the 10 samples for $10 if you’re at all interested!
