I love discovering and using different brands of makeup,
especially when the quality is great and I can achieve beautiful looks and get creative. Today I have a review on some items by Haughty Cosmetics, a
brand that offers everything from eye shadow, lip gloss, beauty tools and cute gift sets.
Pressed Satin
Luxury Eye Shadow Quad
I have quite a bit of eye shadow but when I first touched
the smooth velvety texture of these shadows I was impressed! They are highly
pigmented and the quality is wonderful. They are also made with vitamin E and are
paraben free.
The quads come in pre-designed palettes and you can choose
from a variety of color combinations that are suited to different skin tones and eye
colors. You also have the option of making your own custom palettes.
The 4 shadows come in an elegant, soft velvet box with the
Haughty initial engraved on the top. It also has a large mirror on the inside
and the cover is magnetized to protect the shadows.
The palette I chose is called Treat, which is a pink and
purple quad. I could not stay away from the vibrant purple
and lovely gold. The color swatches on the website are a bit one dimensional and the shadows actually look better in person!
These shades are easy to work with and they don’t crease,
they are also long lasting and the palette is great for creating simple yet
beautiful looks. Although white is a color used less frequently, it works well as a base or as a matte brow highlight. It is also good for blending and fading out saturated colors.
Here is a look I created using this palette. On my lips I am wearing the Haughty lip gloss in the color Pull it Together (which is reviewed below). I used the light gold shade on my lids, and the purple in the crease. I darkened up the purple with a black shadow using the Increase your Advantage defining brush (also reviewed below). I used the light pink and the white as a brow highlight which faded the purple nicely. I think the colors look pretty blended together.
This palette retails for $34 and you can find it HERE
Time for Makeup Brushes!
Increase your
Advantage Crease Defining Brush
I have quite a few makeup brushes but I have no idea why I
didn't had this brush in my collection! The long bristles and pointed
tapered shape is the perfect design for getting into the crease, defining it and
applying color precisely where you need it.
It works well for applying color to the outer v area
to achieve a clean shape. It also doubles as a concealer brush, great
for concealing spots, acne, discolorations and dabbing product under the eyes
and in hard to reach areas. I also like that it is easy to clean, eye shadows wipe right off so I can use it with different colors without having to wash it in-between. The bristles of this brush are very study and great for sharp, neat shadow application.
This is a great brush to have in your collection! It retails
for $16 and you can find it HERE
Put
Your Game Face on Blush Brush
Aside from the cute name this
blush brush is the perfect size for sweeping blush onto the cheeks and placing it
in the right spot without overdoing it. Since receiving it, there has been no
shedding and the bristles are of medium softness and feel comfortable on the skin. I have been using this brush for weeks now and I like the quality of the bristles.
Blending a variety of blush
textures is quite easy with this brush. The shape is unique in that the very
end is slightly pointed and when turned sideways it is great for contouring the face and getting right under the cheekbones.
This brush like all other brushes
by Haughty Cosmetics is vegan. It retails for $28 you can find it HERE
Perfect Finish Lip Gloss
No review is complete without
checking out some lip products. Haughty Cosmetics also sells pretty glosses in 23 fun shades! I had a difficult time choosing colors because I
wanted them all! I finally settled on Pull it Together which is a bronze/red
hue and the best seller called Celebrate which is an “iridescent fuchsia.”
I found that Pull it Together provided more color while Celebrate had sheer coverage, so the glosses may have different color pay-off depending on the shade. They moisturize the lips with jojoba
oil and the added benefit of vitamin E. I also think the packaging and the shades look quite glamorous. I love how shiny they are on the lips and the formula isn't too sticky.
The long applicator wand is very flexible with the purpose of simplifying application.

Overall I like the products in this line, especially the eye shadows and I hope Haughty Cosmetics comes out with some creamy lipsticks and some more eye shadow colors soon! The glosses retail for $18 each
