I've been addicted to etsy.com and all of the natural beauty products available from small indie brands or home businesses. Most items are very affordable and are of highest quality. Recently, I was looking for 28mm eyeshadow pans, similar to the ones sold by MAC and Coastal Scents, and found
this from La Coquette Cosmetics. I ended up ordering 4 pans and baggies of samples.
I've had no problem with the order or the seller. The shipping from Florida to Vancouver, Canada (West-coast!) didn't take all that long. And the items came in a typical mailing envelope, which I prefer instead of boxes. Overall, great service! A+
The packaging was satisfactory. I liked the fact that the eyeshadows are both numbered and named - the list of samples provided was printed out by the seller - numbered, named, and accompanied with a list of ingredients.
This information is also available online.
The quality is great and works very well with eyeshadow primer. The eyeshadow pans are hand-pressed and natural, therefore not perfect. But the texture is velvety and smooth, perhaps similar to high end brands like the Balm and Urban Decay.
I was satisfied!
