Hey everyone! Wow, it has been an incredibly long time since I have posted something here. Sorry about that. I don't know if any of you check my blog regularly (I kinda doubt it), but if so I sincerely apologize for the lack of content. Today, however, I bring you a brand new post! And it's all about an indie cosmetics brand that I've been eager to try out. The thing that really pushed me to purchase some of Brija's products was the release of the 90's Nickelodeon collection, which is where all these shadows are from. So...let's get started. I will forewarn you that I have already pressed the pigments that I received, so..be aware.
We'll start off with the products I received.
"Nigel's Adventure Vest"
I will go ahead and say that Brija Cosmetics promises nearly 1/4 of a teaspoon in each sample baggy. In a couple of these samples, I did not even receive 1/8 of a teaspoon. Unfortunately, the sample sizes are very inconsistent. That's honestly the only real downside to this company. The pigmentation is phenomenal, but the inconsistency is honestly not worth it for samples. Especially since they're $1.45 per sample baggy. Just pick a color you like and buy the full size. Don't waste your time on the samples. Because I didn't receive enough product to press a few of these, I didn't bother including swatches for those.
"Legends"
This was one of my free samples with my purchase. I was surprisingly pleased with the amount of product for an extra sample.
"Alone in the World"
Unfortunately, I didn't receive enough product to accurately swatch and review this shadow.
"Angry B"
Once again, not enough product.
"Woogity Woogity Woogity"
This is definitely my favorite eye shadow I received. It's so gorgeous and unique, the photo really does not do it justice. I highly recommend this shadow and I will probably end up purchasing the full size of it.
"Not a Kilt"
Once again, the photos do not do this shade justice. It is so gorgeous in person and I really do recommend it.
"The Girls' Room"
It's kind of hard to see this shadow in the swatch photo, but it's a very pale pink color. I really like it and think it will pair nicely with "Woogity Woogity Woogity". I'm really excited to use it.
"Sass Queen"
This is a really unique purple color and I really appreciate that. I have many purple eye shadows and I can definitely say that I do not have another one like this. This is definitely a must-have for someone who loves purple eye shadows.
Overall I really do enjoy these shadows, despite not having enough of some of them. I may repurchase from this company in the future, but I definitely will not be purchasing the sample baggies again. Thanks so much for reading my blog & I hope this post was helpful!
