*Post originally written by Olivia J on The Unknown Beauty Blog. If you see this post elsewhere, it has been stolen.*

Suva Beauty is a brand I love.  Even though their products are mostly aimed towards the youthful color-experimenting crowd; the line is wise-owl friendly thanks to the formulation of their products.  With this in mind, I ended up purchasing a few more eyeshadows to satisfy not only the neutral side of me, but the colorful side.
