Brazen Cosmetics is having a 29% sitewide sale from now through the end of Saturday (May 30) - coupon code 29thBday! Minimum order is $29, but that'll get you two mini eyeshadows, a gloss, and a brow powder, so there you go (no literally, that's exactly what's in my cart right now, subtotal $30.48, almost $9 off, final total $25 with shipping). Their brow powders are the best thing ever, with like a dozen shades rather than the standard "light taupe/dark taupe" options - *and* they're on sale right now for $5.99/jar instead of their usual $12.99. I'm also a fan of their lip glosses, the formula is nice and creamy and gentle on the lips. Haven't tried their eyeshadows or perfumes, but I've heard good things. Go forth and femme on a budget, my loves.

Brazen Cosmetics - Hot To Trot UltraPlush Liquid Lipstick

Brazen Cosmetics – Hot To Trot UltraPlush Liquid Lipstick

Among one of my orders from The Rhinestone Housewife was a lovely gift– a lipstick from Brazen, a brand I had never before heard of. What an awesome extra! (And talk about knowing your audience!)

It has taken me entirely too long to get swatches of it up on the blog, but the shade I received was Hot To Trot, a “scrumptious flirty bright coral pink with flirty gold shimmer.”

I’m not sure if the…

Inspired by one of my favorite bracelets (even though the band is messed up and it's a design I'll never be repeating or selling, oops), I went for copper and aqua this morning. I went with almost a cat-eye/winged shape for the crease color, and kept the copper further out than I usually would've so that the effect is kind of the aqua outlining and bordering the copper. Products used: Milani primer, Silk Naturals "Chills" all over lid area, Darling Girls Cosmetics "Barbarella" (lid), Aromaleigh v1 teal (crease); Milani Eye Tech Perfection liner (upper lashline), Jordana liquid eyeliner pencil in gunmetal (lower waterline). Silk Naturals "Unblush" color corrector on cheeks, Evil Shades blush in Daydream, ELF cool bronzing palette to contour. Brazen Cosmetics brow powder in Dita, and Lancôme Hypnose Drama mascara.

A love letter to Brazen Cosmetics: If you have eyebrows, you need Brazen's brow powder. Period the end. No, do not argue, just go get you some. I first picked up Brazen's brow powder way back when it first launched, because they had a deep burgundy-true-red shade that went perfectly with my hair color at the time. And nobody - NOBODY - carries red brow products at all, much less dark burgundy tones (the few who have reds all have coppery ginger type reds). So when I saw that I jumped on it so fast I sprained my clicking finger. And then a couple weeks ago I made a major change and started dyeing my hair midnight blue-black. Well, red brow powder doesn't exactly go with blue-black hair, so I needed something different. Being kinda broke at the time, I picked up the only black drugstore pencil I could find, Maybelline's brow and liner duo. It was too "soft" colored and waxy-feeling, and barely felt like it did anything for me, but it was better than nothing. Then, finally, I was able to order Brazen's brow powder in black this past week. Which is a story in and of itself - I ordered Bettie, "jet black", then got an email from the company owner saying they'd run out of that shade, and would I rather wait until they restocked to send it, or would I rather get Angelina, their next-darkest brown-black? I said I'd rather wait, since my hair was true blue-black now, I really needed the actual black brow powder. To which she said, "oh then you probably want Dita instead of Bettie anyway, as Dita's the shade with blue undertones." Oh. Well okay then. I thanked her and said yeah let's do that then, and my order got in yesterday. So that pic up there, of my eyebrows? Take a guess at which one is Brazen and which one is Maybelline. I'll wait. Hello, my lovely eyebrows, how I have missed you! AND, there was a gloss sample tucked into the package! Considering that the way to this femme's heart is through my lips rather than my stomach... This is Brazen's UltraGlaze lip gloss in Lola, a rich raspberry with brilliant gold shimmer and sheen. It is gorgeous and my camera hates it so this is as close as I could get to capturing the color for y'all. The one problem I often have with gold-shimmer lippies is that they end up frosty-looking on me, but this one? Nope. Just a golden glow that doesn't at all obscure the raspberry base color underneath. And the formula! I'm super picky about lippies, my lips are stupidly sensitive and most lippies make them peel unless I layer balm underneath. This one? Again, nope. It feels very plush and creamy, the color payoff is fantastic (none of this gorgeous in the tube, barely there on the lips bullshit, which annoys me to no end), my lips don't hate it - which sounds like damning with faint praise but from me is a standing ovation - and it may actually be a good replacement for my beloved Morgana glosses that were discontinued last year and which I've never really stopped mourning. At $13, it's a bit more expensive than I generally like for lippies, but I'm gonna go ahead and say it's completely worth it and I'm planning on buying at least one and maybe two more shades. I'm not completely drooling over Indulge, their vampy wine shimmer shade or anything, why do you ask?

Review on Brazen Cosmetics an Indie Cosmetic Line 2013

[jadelyn]

As opposed to your usual two choices of "light ashy taupe-brown" or "dark ashy brown"?  YES PLEASE.  I've been using an eyeshadow from Fyrinnae for mine, but it's sparklier than I'd like and not exactly the greatest substitute.  Before that I was using a black eyebrow pencil and then layering the only redhead-intended brow powder I could find, because the red brow powder was meant for natural/orange-toned reds, as opposed to the dark bloody red I like, but it was overpowering and I didn't always want it quite *that* done.  So I'm pretty damn excited for this.

For a limited time they're offering "mini" jars so you can try various shades, for $4 each instead of $9 for full-size.  I'm going to pick up Jessica ("rich burgundy red") and Sophia ("dark brown w/a hint of red"), as Jessica looks to be a bit light for me still while I'm not sure Sophia will be red enough.  Two mini jars plus shipping is only $12, not a bad deal at all.

Also, today (Friday 7/13) they're offering 30% off orders over $35 plus "sneak peek" baggies of their upcoming collection, then over the weekend the same promo code will get you 20% off the same.  Code: GROWNUPPROM
