Preen Cosmetics Lip Swatches

Last post: I jumped on a great new company - Preen Cosmetics.

Here are the current 5 lipstick shades they offer.

Here they are on my arm in evening LED light. 

Here they are on my lips in sunlight.

Frigatebird.

Rose Robin

Rose Robin - this is the one I would have picked out in full size.

Mourning Dove.

Mourning Dove. I'm liking this one. I think it looks very similar to Almond Nude from Julep on me. Which means... I should wait until I can pan that one to replace with this one. So far, I'm really loving the formula (but it does get everyting with a baby!)

Bull Finch

Bull Finch - better light balance?

Varied Bunting. This shade is the one that would have benefited the most from me following insturctions and using a lip brush (rather then trying to squeeze these swatches in during the same day). 

Varied Bunting.

So far, I'm really impressed with Preen Cosmetics, and I suspect I may be replacing my samples with a full size before my birthday. I really like Mouring Dove. I want to see which ones I reach for first. 

Have you tried out Preen Cosmetics yet?

Preen Cosmetics Order - First Impressions

When Preen Cosmetics opened, I just knew I had to give it a shot. I heard about the limited lipstick samples - and thought it was sign. What better than to test out the colours and pick the one (or two!) full size products I want.

Super cute duct tape! 

Man, I needed some chocolate this night I opened this, and I'm forever in love.

Hand written notes are always so sweet to see. I can't imagine how much time it must take indie owners!

The package inside the bubble mailer.

A business card shot.

Another look at the bird tape. I have lots of biologist friends who would love this!

My professional looking order.

Stickers and everything was wrapped by type. Great if unfortunate leakage happened!

The ingredients list. I don't think I see anything that I'm allergic to on first glance. First use of the balm was very smooth. It's since become a bit grainy similar to what happens with my Ten Three Labs balms.

Did you see that professional business card? Wow!

So much attention was paid to detail in the wrapping of these goods.

Lids are beautifully designed.

Product varies - but they are mostly about half full. I'm sure the ones that are filled with excess are from the pouring process. It's enough that I think I'm going to be able to get a good feel for which shades look the best on me.

Arm swatches in the same order as above.

An second angle and attempt at slighly different light.

Bonus sneak peek! My lip swatches.
