THE INDIE AND UNKNOWN BRANDS THREAD

veronika23 — Wed, 04 Oct 2017 12:13:20 GMT

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.

No...I don't think I recognize any of these brands. I'd be interested in reviews of them though.

I think some of these are supposed to be dupes/similar to KVD Metal Crush?

Has anybody here tried Chaos Makeup? They have different colored highlighters and highlight "primers" and are coming out with a rainbow highlight soon. Their instagram is chaosmakeupartist is you want to see swatches. I want to try them out but want some input first.

I placed an order for one of their eyeshadow quads last week. These pictured are their Hydra Liners (I didn't get any though). I'll be happy to swatch and report back when I get my quad 🙂 Im a huge indie fan, so I have a nice ever growing Indie collection 🙂

Has anyone tried House of Beauty?

I have so many lol! I'm more of an eyeshadow junkie, so most of my indie purchases are shadows. Strobe Cosmetics is amazing (Sea of Ghosts is stunning and my favorite single), Melt Cosmetics Stacks are beautiful (but to some people the packaging is too bulky) I have heard their lipsticks are very drying, so I have not bought any. I know the Violet Voss palettes are getting hyped up, but I love them! Looxi Beauty OMG her Aurora Collection and new Precious Metals collection are stunning (she is doing a restock on the 6th), Saucebox has amazing shadows as well, but usually their palettes are LE. They have a new Vegan quad for pre-order now. Juvias Place holy moly their two palettes are stunning and such great quality. My latest amazing find is Nabla Cosmetics. They are an Italian indie brand and I got 11 shadows of theirs and they are stunning. They have a YT channel where they swatched their latest collection (it was from December I believe). I can probably ramble on more and more lol, but thats def some of my top picks 🙂

thanks! This is awesome to know. It's hard to know how things actually perform with all the instagram hype.

Thanks! I love talking about Indie brands, so sometimes I get a little too excited haha! I forgot to mention Sugarpill! I have on of their LE palette and I want to snag the permanent Sparkle Baby one. Soon they are coming out with single pans (they had them at IMATS for sale already), so I will def be grabbing some of them. Velvet 59 has some nice shadows. I have their Exotic Lotus palette and only one shade was a dud. I just got in my first Zoeva order and the shadows seem very promising, but I have to test them out. LunatiCK Cosmetics has some amazing items as well. I have their contour palette, but I consider it more a face palette (their whole site is 20% off for Mothers Day with the promo code MOMSROCK). I have a list in my head of all the companies I want to try and I just slowly chip away at it 😉 I know I have some more brands that I cant think off the top of my head though lol!
