Naked Cosmetics- Cotton Candy Collection Photos, Swatches

While at IMATS last month, I managed to pick up quite a lot of collections from Naked Cosmetics, and this was one of my favorites! This collection is called Cotton Candy, and is appropriately named as the colors are all light and airy looking and include mainly pastels. These colors are super super shimmery as well, especially when applied wet! I’ll work on getting the rest of these collections swatched over the next few weeks for you guys, they really are gorgeous!

Do these have good staying power or do they wear off?

do you feel like you sometimes waste product when you open the jar and all of it spills down the sides and stuff? I used to have a set of eyeshadows just like this (Maybe Naked? I inherited them from a friend a long, long time ago) and I noticed that everytime I opened them up pigment spilled all over the place no matter how careful I was.. super annoying!

  the good thing about naked cosmetics is that they dont come in a stack, each color has a lid, so if you dont want them to be in a stack you dont have to have them that way. I do because I need to be able to keep the colors from each collection together, so its easier for me :)

  The best solution is to store these sitting straight up. I have had the same problem in the past when I had the pigments on their side when stacked. =/ There isn’t much you can do except put a piece of paper under the container when you are opening it and then pouring what falls out back into the pot afterwards.

    coastal scents sells rotating sifters. you just put them in and they closer or open with a twist

Leesha, if I had to wait to use all of the new make-up I bought to take swatches and take pictures for other people I would probs explode. You are an amazing person and for this I thank you. <3

I want that yellow.

On another note, is there a vibrant matte yellow that you would recommend? I have amber lights and golden rod from MAC but they lean towards gold are not catching enough for a look I’m trying to go for.

Thanks! =)

Will you be doing swatches for all the stacks you have? I’m very interested in the iridescent one you got (was it ivory or something?) and was really hoping to see swatches of it.

These colors are sooo pretty. I had so much trouble choosing which collection to buy because they were all gorgeous, I ended up getting the Tropical Indulgence collection at last years IMATS. This collection will definitely be in my make up kit soon!
