Frankie Rose Cosmetics: samples

I had seen Frankie Rose Cosmetics on Instagram and on Facebook.  I had googled their site and searched more about their line.  What really got my attention would have been all the different makeup looks the beauties on Instagram had posted and while I was browsing on their site I had seen the Matte Perfection Foundation.  

Before I start rambling about the samples that they had sent me and process of me getting them.  

I would like to briefly talk about Frankie Rose cosmetics itself.

"Lets get down to the nitty gritty.."

So I had emailed them about their foundation shades?  On what shade would best suit me.  I wouldn't have thought they would email me back until acouple of days, but they emailed me back the next day... Talk about fast reponse!!! 

Anyways here is a sample of my letter I received from them:

So basically I did pick out the shade in Oatmeal.  It's kind of hard to pick out a shade online cause products shade always looks different on screen.  

So I actually received this package yesterday and I didn't have time to look what was inside til today...

So they had sent me a sample of their face primer and 4 different shades in their Matte Perfection foundation.

How cute are their packaging? so basically the sample came in a small zip lock bag w/ their square shaped business card and stapled with a pink note on it. Plus they also attached a 20% off promo code. How exciting!!!

Here is the first swatches of the foundation applied on my forearm in natural lighting.

And here in flash photography in a few hours after foundation had set.

And one without flash, but in natural lighting that's also been set from a few hours after foundation had set.

So the outcome of all this! Is for me! Actually I needed to see if this product oxides.  As you may not know I normally pick out a one shade lighter than my actual color.  And I was right Oatmeal would have been a perfect shade at first but as you can see it really oxide on my skin.  I think if I applied it on my face it would actually turn out darker.  So technically I am gonna go with Olive.  It maybe light, but I will work once the contouring is applied.

I will do a separate first impression and review on the primer and Foundation in Olive.
