Firestarter Cosmetics review

Hi!! So today I have something different than my usual nail posts, I have cosmetics! Firestarter Cosmetics is a Canadian based company. Owners Laura and Amanda opened up shop in the winter of 2011 and create products that are vegan and free of chemicals and dyes! I was sent a lip balm, lip scrub, clay mask, and eyeshadow to review. 



So the first thing I used was the clay mask. Ingredients are French Green clay powder, Bentonite clay powder and oatmeal. It came with thorough instructions (which I loved, by the way). 
Have you guys seen the movie Mrs. Doubtfire? Lol, if you have, you might remember a scene where Robin Williams throws his face into a cake to create a mask. That's how I felt lol!! 


So once the mask dried, I rinsed it off. I did this yesterday morning and my face still feels amazing! My skin feels soft and clean. This is a great product and it was fun to mix up and wear! :p

I then tried the lip scrub in green apple flavour. The ingredients are coconut oil, vegan sugar, flavour oil, and avocado oil.

    With flash. 

Look at the sugar crystals! Yum! I applied it to my lips using a circular motion. 


It smells so good! After rinsing off, my lips felt awesome. With it being winter time, this is a great product to use if you have chapped, dry lips. My daughter even used it! It works great. Instructions said to apply a lip balm after so I threw on the one that was sent to me! 


Ingredients for the Kahlua lip balm are candelilla wax, stevia, coconut, sunflower, grapeseed, avocado, flavour, and apricot kernel oil. At first I was a bit skeptical as to how good this product would be because it felt really hard at first. But, after working it in, it glided on and stayed on my lips for just under an hour! And it smells good which always makes everything better. 


So these are my lips after using the lip scrub and applying the Kahlua lip balm. 

Lastly is the eyeshadow called Misfit. I usually don't wear bright colour shadows so this was a good one for me! 

 
Ingredients are plant derived magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, iron oxide and tin oxide. 
I applied some to my inner arm and seen that it had a nice shimmer to it. 

    With flash. 

    Indoors without flash. 

I applied Misfit and some white/silver eyeshadow to my lash line. It went on very smooth and lasted the whole day!


Here I am after using all the products sent to me. This is a really great company with amazing products! And super super affordable!
