The more I watch main stream brands come out with more releases, the more redundant everything seems. Which has propelled my journey into Cruelty Free Indie Beauty brands.

I have made posts about indie brands in the past, but I am going to be exploring more!

To start we are going to talk about Makeup Slayve. I purchased their new Autumn Equinox palette and their highlighter pan in Snow Queen.

Autumn Equinox $35

The packaging is very cute and compact. Instead of a mirror there is a a quote that reads,

” Take time to watch the leaves turn.”

I quite like that.

The shade names are on the back of the palette.

This palette contains 6 matte and 3 shimmer shades.

The matters are literally the MOST buttery mattes I have ever felt in my life!

The shimmers, unfortunately are pretty basic- nothing to write home about.

Starting from the wrist back

• Fuzzy Flannel- a shimmer teal
• Cherry Blossom- a matte mauvy pink
• Pumpkin Pie- a matte orange
• Spiked Cider- a matte mustard yellow
• Trick 4 Treats- a purple shimmer
• Jean Jacket- a matte navy blue
• Witch please- a matte purple
• Cranberry Sauced- a matte brown mauve
• Ugg Boots- a shimmery taupe

The matte shades are spectacular, I don’t think I have better matter shadows than these.

The shimmers, as I said, are pretty basic.

There is a ton of powder kick up, but that’s because they are not pressed as hard as most shadows.

The Look

• After priming my eyes I buffed “Spiked Cider” all over my lid and almost up to my brow bone.
• I did the same thing with “Pumpkin Pie” but not as high up.
• I then placed “Cherry Blossom” on the inner and outer third of my lid.
• I placed “Cranberry Sauced” on top of that
• Tons of blending
• I placed “Fuzzy Flannel” in the center on my lid.

I repeated these steps on the lower lash line.

I popped “Ugg Boots” in my inner Corner.

For my High Light I used Snow Queen

It is a really pretty stark white highlight. It is not pressed hard and it really packs a punch!

It is also only $10!

Over all

I am buying more of their shadows, particularly the mattes. I just can’t get over how awesome they are!

I also plan on ordering more of their highlights. I also want to try their blushes.

You can purchase their products Here.
