BANG Cosmetics is a New Zealand owned and handcrafted cosmetics company that is far from plain and boring! They have such a fantastic range of glitters, lip colors loose eyeshadows, mixing palette, rings, eyelash holders and they also have AWESOME mystery packs for undecisive people such as myself ;). I got two pro lip colour pottles and two loose powders, see the swatches down below. Oh, did I forget to mention they DON'T test on animals? I'm a sucker for cruelty free companies! You can find their products at Real Groovy in Auckland. Here's some more info.

| Pro Lip Colour Pottles 'Kermit' & 'Luck Dragon' $23.00NZD each. |
Luck Dragon is a very light peachy matte shade that is perfect to wear with very bright eyeshadows if you want the focus to be on the eyes. The great thing about these little pots is that they are very easy to use with a lip brush! (These babies come with a free one!)

| My new favourite peachy nude! 'Luck Dragon'. Can you see how satisfied I am with it? :) |
Kermit is a bold daring metallic green, pair it with a smokey eye and you'll surely be the center of attention!

| Loose Powder 'Mello' & '1965' $18.00NZD each. |
I love how most of the colour range from BANG cosmetics is really unique and unusual. I think everyone needs something a little different in their makeup collection and BANG cosmetics is an absolutely great place to get this fix! These two loose powders are extremely pigmented, a little goes a long way and they can even be used as eyeliner! Simply wet a liner or angled brush and apply it as you would eyeliner. Why not try one of their shades on your eyebrows? The possibilities are endless!
Mello is a bright yellow shadow with subtle shimmer, if you place it over a naked lid, you'll achieve a softer shade of it, applying it over primer will achieve a very BOLD colour! This looks so pretty on its own matched with a nude lip and thick winged liner, there are no rules with makeup however so go crazy with colour combinations!
1965 is a pale, pearl blue packed with sparkle! The name of this shade is perfectly fitting as this is a colour I assume would have been highly popular in the 60's! Twiggy anyone? Match it with a pink lip and you'll have a 60's feel instantly. You'll be ready to hop into a time travelling DeLorean back to the 60's and fit right in!
Please note unlike Mello, 1965 is not lip safe. Whether a product is lip safe or not will be addressed on the packaging.
