Fi-bros for life Limited Ellegee and Digital Nails Collab box

Hey everyone! Here I am with a box openeing. This is the Fi-bros for Life Limited Edition Collaboration box featuring special polishes by Ellegee and Digital Nails. It was putnout for fibromyalgia awareness day, and when it was announced I literally started to cry. I was diagnosed in 2009 with fibromyalgia and I have only been getting worse. Polish and make up are kind of my little pick me up on days where I can only where pajamas. So I just had to buy it. I just got my box in the mail today, I have been very excitedly stalking the mailman for this one.

The polishes that come inside are Chronic Badass by Ellegee and Whack with Poo Brain by Digial Nails. Ellegee also included some adorable bow nail charms and a thing of smarties. Digital Nails sent along toe seperators and a musache hair tie. So cute!

Chronic Badass is a glitter polish with black, purple, and magenta glitters, purple and silver butterflies,  and what looks like holo stars.
It's a lot of my favourite thing all packed into one polish. Its name symbolized the chronic nature of fibromyalgia and how tough we fibromites are battling it. Butterflies are the symbol of hooe for a cure, and purple is the colour chosen to reprisent the illness.

Whack with Poo Brain is a purple crelly with small dark purple shiny glitter, small black and white matte glitter, some slightly larger matte white squares and larger matte circles in light pink, black and white. There may be something I am missing too, there is a lot in there and it looks great!
Digital Nails called it Whack with Poo Brain based on an Adventure Time episode and her own experiences with fibromyalgia. She describes what is usually called fibro fog as whack with poo brain. I can totally relate! My fog gets so bad some times that I feel like I have poo brain too.

This is just my box opening post, I will be back with swatches and formula reviews later on. For now, check out the photos! It's dark and rainy today so they are not super great photos.

First Product Review! Starrydance Cosmetics on Etsy

Hi everyone! Here it is, my first review for you. It's from an indie maker who sells on Etsy called Starrydance Cosmetics, made by fantasy artist Gwynn Farrington. Currently she is making lip balms, themed with My Little Pony or other characters, and solid perfumes in the same vein.

This time I ordered some lip balms. They are cruelty free and contain natural ingredients. Her ingredients are listed on her selling pages for each product. Sorry, vegans, they do contain beeswax, so this one might not be for you. She makes all of these herself, including the artwork in the labels.

I ordered 3 lip balms, 2 are MLP themed despite my not being a MLP fan. But the flavours sounded too good to pass up and at the 3 for $10 deal I was sold. https://www.etsy.com/listing/172690236/shea-butter-lip-balms-3-for-10-pick-your?ref=related-0
I ordered:
Rarity- which is a black berry pomegranate flavour
Pinky Pie- which is a strawberry swirl flavour
Lucky Cat- which is a natural vanilla flavour

I placed my order on March first, she shipped them by the 3rd and they arrived today March 8th. I think the shipping on her end was nice and quick, but USPS left something to be desired (again).

Her packaging on the other hand left nothing to be desired. It was like opening a present. I could have just gifted it to someone right out of the envelope, and I didn't even have to pay extra for this. It was so cute.

 It arrived to my home in a bright purple bubble mailer, and inside that was a box in an organza bag. I could already see the cuteness flowing out of it.

Inside that bag was a smaller bag that contained some cute gifts. The labels and the notes on the box added a nice touch, to help remind which things you ordered. Opening the box I could already smell the goodness that was inside. I was very excited to open up the balms and try them out.

Here is the order, out of the box. You can see the lip balms with the original artwork, and the professional looking plastic covering the whole tube. The kind that seals it all up for sanitary purposes. She included a free dragon sticker, a cute unicorn phone charm (how did she know I love purple?!) and her wonderful business card, which to me doubles as a piece of art.

On to the balms themselves! The go on like butter. They just melt and absorb into my skin. I even tested them on my dry cuticles. The oils used to add scent/flavour to them doesn't leave burning or itching on cracked skin, even my super sensitive skin, which is a big deal! I will be buying these again for sure.

The tubes were full to the top, maybe about 3mm over so I didn't have to wind them up any. There are no colourants added so they are a milky white in colour. The scent is phenomenal. Seriously, it makes you want to just take a bite out of them. Unfortunately it doesn't have much of a flavour to go with that scent. I was hoping it would, but it's also good to keep me from licking my lips.

So, I recommend Starrydance Cosmetics lipbalms if you are looking for a small batch all natural indie balm that feels great on. Especially if you like MLP and other cute things. I for one will be buying from her again.
