THE INDIE AND UNKNOWN BRANDS THREAD

[veronika23]

Formerly known as: Indie brands and other not so talked about makeup brands

A place to discuss new, indie and not so talked about brands. There's a few brands I'd like to know more about but didn't want to start a thread for each so decided to start a thread for all those brands that we don't often hear about.

Some new liquid highlighters coming from Love Luxe Beauty

[veronika23]

So I finally got my package from Love Luxe Beauty the other day and both highlighters arrived broken... Super hard to get a hold of the people there. She said she'd be sending a replacement but nothing else... no replies for a few days now... I'm not super happy about this and the crappy service.

[veronika23]

UPDATE! So after not so good communication I asked for a refund. I was scared to review yet another broken product and maybe that they would forget about me. I sent a pic with the refund request and finally got a reply that they would refund me. Took a few days but they did.  They are very nice just not fast at replying.

Oh that's good news!!! Nice!! =D

[jesscheems]

Wow that sucks! =(

[amnali]

oh no hopefully mine isnot broken as well 😞

Hope you get a replacement soon!

😞

[veronika23]

yeah just thought I'd let others know.

[Samtian]

Have you guys seen these things? So PRETTY! They are color changing. Anyone try them? Brand is Kailijumei. 

[virgo87]

They definitely look interesting and unique.

[Gwenhwyfar]

I NEED THESE. 😮

[jwilk241]

Saw them in a Buzzfeed article but haven't tried them. It's a Chinese brand and they're sold out right now. You can pre-order 3 of the colors though. I know a lot of people in the comments were concerned about animal testing because the website doesn't say anything about being cruelty free and China's new rules regarding animal testing have only been in effect for a few years.

Seen pics on FB but that's about it.

Anyone ever tried Pretty Zombie Cosmetics?

[PaletteAddict99]

I love all these rainbow highlighters!!! I'm going to get these for everyone for Christmas presents this year and maybe a brush to go with it. What is the best type brush to use with these?  A fan? Or a smallish powder brush?

[Mochapj]

Definitely use a fan brush - I have a bunch of them from different brands and they're all usually pretty pigmented.

A powder brush would be overkill.

[PaletteAddict99]

@Mochapj Thank you very much for the advice!

That will make a nice unique gift set: a beautiful highlighter and a fan brush.

@Mochapj 

do you have any fan brushes you recommend? I've Ben using a tapered brush from Morohe because I haven't found a fan brush I love. 

[Mochapj]

@StephaniLynn I like the MUFE one:

It's not too big or too dense, IMO.

Thank you☺️
