This is going to be a new series that will come out on Mondays (I have like 5 'series' that come out on Mondays, so it'll kinda be a tossup on what Monday it will come out on!) This is very similar to review videos, but I'm going to try and be a little more in-depth than reviews tend to be. The first one is going to be on some nail polishes I have had for quite some time. and posted blog posts about, but never a video review: Eyeko Polishes!
Here are some Swatches:

So in case you didn't know, I kinda love Eyeko Polishes. Not just because the packaging on each polish is totally unique and ADORABLE, but because the formula is FANTASTIC and with most, it's opaque in one coat. They've just released two new shades: Rain Polish (For City Nails) and Saucy Polish (For Naughty Nails).
And just because, here are some pictures of all of the Eyeko polishes I have, which I believe are all of them, if not definitely most. There are swatches for these babies here ...

Epic OCC Lip Tar Swatch Post
I feel like this entire webpage is a swatchfest lately, lol. But that's okay, it makes me feel accomplished! Today's post will consist of swatches of all the Lip Tars I have. I think I'm just missing one (Uber) but the rest should be swatched below. Three things I have to mention to those who have never used these:
They are meant to be mixed to create new colors (although you don't HAVE to do that) So when you see one that's white or bright blue (which I WISH was socially acceptable to wear...
Tarte EmphasEYES Waterproof Clay Shadow/Liner Swatches
Ooooh, I really enjoy these! These are the new liners from Tarte. They're very much like any of the gel liner's you know and love, except these are waterproof. And when they say waterproof, they mean waterproof. I had these on my hand for an entire day and once they set, they're pretty much there until you take them off with makeup remover. Just to test it out, I put a few drops of water on top of the swatches and rubbed it into my skin, and not lightly at all, just about scrubbing! They didn't ...

I just got these in the mail yesterday and had to show you guys ASAP! I love Eyeko polishes because they come in super cute bottles with adorable labels and have really cute names. They're also super opaque right off the bat, love love!!
In Direct Sunlight
I love Vampira Polish, but it really needs a top coat in order to really shine (it doesn't have one in the first picture but does in the second) This is all with two coats.

OCC Memento Lip Tar Swatch
This is the newest color from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, and it's sooo pretty!! I really love the way this one looks on, it's not too much but still gorgeous. Also, proceeds from this through June 1st go towards CancerCare.
If you've never used OCC lip tars, they're really different than most other lip products. You use the teeeeniest amount of product (and I mean TEENY!) and it will cover your entire lips. It's super, super opaque, a little goes a long way, and they're really, really ...

Oooh, I was soo excited when these came in the mail! I've never tried Shu anything before, and I've always heard hype about their lipsticks and lashes. If you saw my last Fierce Friday, I used a pair of their lashes, and they are sooo pretty!!
Here are some lip swatches using the lipsticks I got to try out. They're super, super creamy and moisturizing, They come off a little sheer (at least the ones I have) but I still really like how they look! They kind of remind me of MAC's Slimshines.

I didn't realize that these had come out yet, doh! I saw these being advertised at a store in the mall and decided to get the mini pack. I like buying minis of polish sets if its available because then I get to try out all the colors for pretty cheap, and in a small amount so if I don't really use it I don't feel bad :)
These two are my favorites. I'm mad you can't tell how gorgeous Thank You Muchness! is from this picture, it's so much deeper and shinier in real life!
I have to say,...

OMG, I had the hardest time getting nice swatches of these. Bloggers, what's your secret to taking AWESOME swatch photos? The only time I can get really great swatch photos is if I takes them outside during the day, but I always seem to forget to take them until its getting dark (and I do most of my youtube stuff at night anyways, so that doesn't help) rawr!!
Creepy Leesha eye in the BG! boo that the best picture is a still from the video hahah :(
Taken outside around 5PM. Not the bright...
