Silk Naturals Haul

Happy Friday everyone!! Hope your excited for the weekend. I just received my second order from the company Silk Naturals. This is quickly becoming one of my new favorite beauty brands! I have a a nice growing collection of lip products and eyeshadows that I'm enjoying. I'll be doing full reviews on some of my favorite products in the coming week or so. Today I'm just doing a quick haul post to show you some of the awesome products I picked up for fall :)
 My favorite part of the packaging is the hand written note! I received one in my last order as well and thought it was the perfect personal touch! You can tell Silk Naturals really cares about their customers.
I ordered two full size blushes and a perfecting glow powder. Both blushes are matte, the color Poppy is a warm coral, while Embrace is a beautiful matte plum. Splendid is the glow, it has a subtle golden hue to it with no big chunks of glitter (Score!)
Swatched above are Poppy, Embrace and Splendid. Not sure how well Spledid is showing up on my skin in the above photo as it's very subtle. I was hoping to use this as a cheekbone highlight and I think it will serve well as a very subtle highlight. The blushes have wonderful pigmentation, I'm digging on that plummy shade for fall!
I ordered three lip products and received a free lip balm! Silk Naturals offers a fabulous rewards program. Everytime you shop, you'll receive points to redeem for store credit after a certain amount of points earned. There is usually a special gift (changed weekly) to receive on orders over a certain amount, which is usually $10 or $15, mine happened to be this wonderful lip balm! It's not tinted but smells delicious and feels very light and moisturizing on the lips. The last perk of shopping online at Silk Naturals is you can choose a free FULL SIZE eyeshadow of your choice when placing orders over $35 including the shipping. I asked the company to surprise me with a shadow and I received Aztec, a beautiful light brown with a little bit of shimmer.
Above is a swatch of the eyeshadow "Aztec", it's a very light brown with a nice sheen and looks great as a subtle crease color.
Heavily swatched above are the lip products I chose. Rapturous, Bravado, and St. Tropez. Rapturous is described as a muted rose, it ended up looking more brown when I swatched it and I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. However, I patted it on my lips lightly to build up to the color I desired and I think it's beautiful on! Bravado is from the new collection for Fall 2013 and my favorite of the bunch! It's a stunning pink berry color that's not overly deep and I am SO excited to wear this during holiday season! St. Tropez is described as a nude pink and it's definitely a deeper nude with brown tones and slight pink undertones. I think it's very beautiful on the lips but not quite as pink as I had hoped for.
All in all I loved everything in my order and Silk Naturals hasn't let me down! Check out their site here to check out the products. There are so many colors to choose from and everything is super affordable. Enjoy your weekend!
