FOTD - Zodiac Collaboration - Aquarius

Recently I asked a bunch of talented and amazing bloggers to join me in a collaboration. I was really excited to do another one as I had a fantastic time doing the Sailor Moon collaboration which was the first one I've done.

Anyway I ended up choosing to do Aquarius.


 Aquarius () (Greek: Ύδροχόος, "Hudrokhoös", Latin: "Aquārius") is the eleventh astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation Aquarius. It spans the Zodiac between the 300th and 329th degree of celestial longitude.  The Zodiac element for Aquarius is air.

The symbol for Aquarius is the water bearer, it is symbolic of the Gods nourishing the earth with life giving energies. One of the first to be called the water bearer was the Greek God Zeus in mythology.

    My Thoughts: 

    I love this set and I am tempted to buy a second one as a backup! The colors are gorgeous, the pigmentation is great, and they blend really easily.

    The Glamour Gloss in Zoe has almost a summer smell, kind of something like a coconut smell but is very subtle. It's moisturizing and feels very nice on the lips as well, the pigmentation is more on the sheer to medium side but I think that works well for being an orange shade.

    Price:  $38.00 currently marked down to $32.30 (15% off)

    I also got the new Lash Genius Clear Waterproof Topcoat to try out as well which is supposed to waterproof, refresh, and protect your mascara. I will be posting on that in another post later on.

    My Thoughts:

    I think this set is very nice, however the gel isn't a good color for me being that I have dark hair. It would be nice if maybe it had an option for a darker brow gel or even a clear gel that would suit anyone and just hold the brows in place.

    The eyeshadow duo in On Set I actually really like, the shadows are really pretty, smooth, blend well. I really love the light shade of the duo the best but the bronze one is still very gorgeous as well.

    The Lipglosses are very hydrating, they do have a sticky kind of feeling to them but that also helps them last longer. The pigmentation is also very good, and the glosses do leave a tint of color on your lips even after the gloss wears off. The applicator is very different as it's kind of like a spatula. I'm not sure if I really like the applicator as it was kind of messy to use and I prefer a doe-foot applicator best.

    You can purchase this on www.anastasia.net for $44.00
