I'm excited, yet also saddened to bring you swatches of
AFK Cosmetics' The Adam collection. Due to the owner's declining health, AFK was forced to close down and it's unsure whether or not it's only a temporary hiatus or a permanent closing. I truly wish Dena (the owner) well and hope she'll be healthy enough to someday reopen the company. AFK is one of my favorite indie companies because of the amazing products and wonderful customer service.
The Adam collection was inspired by Bioshock and consisted of eight eyeshadows, three highlighters, three blushes, and three tinted lip balms. I enjoy the formula for all of their eyeshadows, face products, and especially their tinted lip balms. My order was shipped past the initial turnaround time, so Dena upgraded one of my eyeshadow samples to a full sized jar and gave some extra free samples as well.

Overall, this collection was absolutely beautiful and well rounded. For eyeshadows, there were enough highlight, lid, and outer corner shades to create an eye look. I'm also able to create a full face of makeup out of this collection alone because of the inclusion of face and lip products! I'm still sad that this may be the last AFK collection I'll ever see, but if it is, they certainly went out with a bang!
