Rocket City Bang All Over Color Creams

I have been meaning to do a review on these since the day I got them back in October! They were in this All Cosmetics Wholesale Haul and then just kind of got shoved to the back of my makeup drawer. The little silver box these come in doesn't give you much direction in how to use these, it just says:

"USAGE: Apple only to lips, cheeks and eyes (WARNING: Care to be taken when applying around the eye area.)"

 I can see why there would be a warning about using these around your eyes since there are some pretty questionable ingredients in these (Octyl Palmitate, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cera Alba, Talc, Ozokerite, Candelilla Cera, Silica, Methylparaben, Propylparaben). 50 points to anyone who knows how to pronounce those words! 

Top: Cosmic Cruisin Middle: Moon Groovin Bottom: Solar Slammin
Unless you're in really bright lighting (I held my hand under a lamp), you really won't notice a difference in these colors. Cosmic Cruisin is more gold with the most potential to be used as a highlighter, Moon Groovin is more pink-y with the most potential to be used as a blush, and Solar Slammin is more brown/coppery with the most potential to be used as an eyeshadow.
Pros: These pictures don't really do the Rocket City Bang All Over Color Creams justice, but you can still tell these are absolutely gorgeous. Wherever you decide to put these, they're super blendable. I like that all these colors have space-y names :).

Cons: The packaging is really juvenile in my opinion, something that a 12 year old would like. When I wore these as eyeshadows, my eyes were super irritated after about an hour. I don't get why these are called "creams", they're actually really powder-y. There's also a pretty bad odor if you get close enough to the product/when it's blended out on your face.You have to be careful when putting it on the eyelid because there tends to be a lot of fallout. Rocket City Bang All Over Color Creams aren't really recommended for use around the eyes, but I can't think of anywhere else I would put it! There's way too much shimmer to be a blush, and if used as a highlighter, it would just look like a random streak of glitter on your face. All three of these colors are really similar when blended out, you don't need to get all of the Rocket City Bang All Over Color Creams. When I heard "all over color", I thought these would be the size of the MAC cream color bases, but they are quite small for a product with multiple uses.


These are stunning in the containers, and I think that's where they should stay! Rocket City Bang All Over Color Creams are great to add to your makeup collection, but not so great for your face.
If you want to pick yourself us some of the Rocket City Bang All Over Color Creams, two of them are still being sold in the Rocket City section at All Cosmetics Wholesale!

I'm so excited that today my order from All Cosmetics Wholesale came in! I didn't order that much stuff, but on what I did get, I saved a ton of money. The link to the website is here and I would recommend looking there for some stuff you want, because it's generally cheaper than getting it from the drugstore or higher end stores! So here's what I got:

-Benetint by Benefit mini
I've been dying to get the full sized one, but I just can't justify spending $28 for a bottle when I'm not sure whether I'll like it or not. So I saw this, and it was only $5.99. If I like it I'll get the full size and I'll have a mini for my purse, if not, oh well at least I didn't waste $28.






-L'oreal Hip Jelly Balm Trio in Plush, Savory, and Luscious
I really wanted these because from online pictures they didn't seem to have any shimmer, which I despise in lip glosses. All Cosmetics Wholesale has a pack of the three mentioned above for $8.99, and I've heard that's the price of one, saving me $18.







-Rocket City all over color in Solar Slammin, Moon Groovin, and Cosmic Crusin
I wasn't planning on getting these because I wouldn't use them for anything other than eyeshadow, and I don't even where eyeshadow often, but the colors are so gorgeous that I had to (plus each one was only $1.99). I was kinda disappointed when I opened my package to find out how small these are, but it's fine because I'll probably never use the entire thing anyway.







Review of All Cosmetics Wholesale:
I came across this site when I was looking for some discounted MAC makeup (yeah I know, bad idea)! They have a ton of high-end and drugstore brands to look through, and they update their stock frequently. I'm not sure if I'll order from them again, just because with all the savings you make, they gouge you with the cost of shipping (standard is $8.50)! But I guess I still saved $9.50 on the L'oreal Jelly Balms, so not a total loss. Also, on some of the products I got, they didn't put a label? My Plush L'oreal Jelly Balm didn't come with the label sticker telling you what color it is, and my Rocket City all over color in Cosmic Crusin didn't come in a little box, but the others did. Not a big deal, but it's just a little annoying because I like to store my stuff in the original box! So hopefully you check them out and find some good deals of your own (just make sure you still save money including the cost of shipping)!
