I kind of wish I had an awesome sister with whom I could co-found a makeup business... And while I don’t have any sisters, I can live vicariously through the founders of SweetPea & Fay, Katrina and Amanda. This duo created a 100% natural, hand-crafted makeup line using their knowledge as a licensed skin care therapist and as a makeup artist. Their focus is on professional quality makeup that’s affordable and free of harmful ingredients, as well as being cruelty free.
SweetPea & Fay Mineral Eyeshadow
$4.99 for 1.0 gram
Ingredients: Mica, sericite, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide
Shades:
Granny Panties-nude/sand with golden/silver shimmer when wet
Pandimonium-mint green when dry, green patina with golden shimmer
Chupacabra-shimmery darkened taupe when dry, chocolate brown with bronze when wet
I love that there are swatches of every shade of eye shadow on their website! It's really helpful, especially for mineral eye shadows, which tend to be more variable than regular eye shadows when comparing the appearance of the product in the pan/jar to the swatch. They're really affordable and pretty decent in terms of texture and pigmentation. For me, they have pretty standard length of wear, and with a primer they last all day. I like that these shadows come in a sifter jar--that makes them slightly less messy compared to other mineral shadow.

SweetPea & Fay Lip Balm
$4.99 for 1.0 gram
Ingredients: Beeswax, Caruba wax, extra virgin olive oil, mica, french vanilla flavor oil, stevia, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide
Shades:
Crop Circles-orangey tan cream
Ghost of Petra-hot pink creme
Apparition-soft pearl pink with shimmer
These are great tinted lip balms. They have a faint vanilla scent and come in clear plastic mini tubes--all details that I like. Crop Circles really didn't look good on me, and Apparition was a touch frosty for my skin tone, but I loooooove Ghost of Petra. The color is gorgeous and can easily be built up by layering on the balm, and it also leaves your lips with a nice stain. The price is pretty good as well.
