I have been sitting on this little gem since the beginning of December. Do you know how hard it was not to write about it? However, I had no choice because it was top secret over at Twisted Fayte and I had to keep this all to myself until its launch.
Thankfully, this product, along with 2 other products I received, launched yesterday. Finally I can tell you how much I love it!
This mineral makeup is a highlighting cream. The one I received was in Radiate, which is a sheer nude pearl. It has more shine and shimmer than this picture …read more

Can I not say how in love I am with these colors? Wow. They are gorgeous.
Twisted Fayte held their contest not too long ago allowing their customers and my readers to give their input about new color designs for the new lip line they were creating. The winners were announced today and were given the honor of having their color design named after them.
The first color here is All about Alyssa; it is Rose Coral Pearl with twinkling iridescent flashes of gold and green. The second color is Maxine Mania which is Golden Honey brown pearl layered with a hint …read more

From Heather Hanson, owner of Twisted Fayte:

These are the fabulous colors I received from Twisted Fayte from the Glam Queen Eyes collection.
 
I can’t tell you in which order, what color is what because I mixed everything up as I was trying to align everything, but I can tell you the colors I received and you can match them on Twisted Fayte’s website.

 
 
 
 
The 6 colors received were: Blazin Baubles, Rag Doll, White Noise, Momma Bare, Miso Naughty (I love that name) and Lola and Leather. I love using the colors interchangably, but I find I tend to use Blazin Baubles and Miso Naughty more often than the …read more

I’ve never tried pressed minerals for eyeshadow before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect when I was sent 3 colors in Twisted Fayte’s Mega Minerals collection. Heather told me that since their launch, the Mega Minerals have been her best seller.

Plan B means actually reading the letter Heather sent me instructing me that I should use my finger to apply these colors.

I will admit to the world that I have a girl crush on Heather Hanson, owner of Twisted Fayte cosmetics. Not a girl crush in the way all of you mind-in-the-gutter readers are thinking, but a girl crush because she always blows me away with her customer service skills.
Heather recently sent me a very impressive package filled with goodies of some current products, newly released products and some products that haven’t come out yet (but I tell you they are awesome!) Not only did Heather send me products, but the colors are colors I would’ve chosen for myself and she …read more
