Backstreets Makeup Company Purchase & Review

Awe! I love browns too! But as always, buy all the colors!

 I had never heard of Backstreets Makeup Company until a Redditor had talked about them being the diamond in the rough. Well, I would agree! April was amazing with fast shipping and quick turnaround time. I have heard rumors of dreadful international shipping stories and costs, but she makes it very affordable ($2.50 w/o tracking).

As the conquest to find and discover as many indie brands as I can, I decided to purchase 20 sample baggies. Little did I know I would receive 26 samples!!! After my order was sent, April emailed me if there were any I specifically wanted, which I have noted below.

Overall
You may ask, why do these colors not match their descriptions exactly? They actually do! Many of these colors shift in different lighting. Honestly, go try out Backstreets Makeup Co.! Prices range from $4-$6 US for a full-size and $5 gets you 10 baggies or 5 clamshells (random or your choice). http://backstreetsmakeupco.storenvy.com/
