When I bought this, I thought…but wait, wasn’t there already a Burgundy Stick Shadow from Kiko? Yes, there was. It was more what I personally picture as “burgundy” - it was deeper, and a bit cooler. This one, aside from being a different color, seems to have a different formula. It doesn’t apply as smoothly or as solidly as Stick Shadows from 2017 and earlier. Vintage Rose and...
While we all stayed locked down, Pride merch still hit the pipelines. And of course, as usual, NYX got in the game. They had a rainbow collection of eyeliners (regular stick liners, though, not the Epic Ink formula) and a near-rainbow of these Shout Loud shades. Originally I thought I had ordered the cooler purple, but this one is a bright, cheerful spring/summer color. It’s almost a candied...
The most visible colors in this soft-shift polish are light slate blue and copper-red; but you can catch hints of gold, green, and a softened violet. The polish is still semisheer with two coats, when worn by itself. I’m guessing that you could also wear this over other polishes to intensify the colors; but I like wearing it by itself. My only regret is that I only got one...
This is one of the first blush palettes that I bought from Makeup Revolution. (The first was one of their Iconic Trios.) While the colors look interesting in the pan, they all apply very…soft. Two of the colors are a little richer, and the gold shimmer definitely makes them more visible; but still, these all work better on fair to light skintones. They don’t build too easily, either....
Medium-deep aged gold with what appears to be a brown base. This can work as a highlighter if you have deeper skin and apply sparingly. It’s very versatile, and the finish is even but...
I love the idea of this lip color - a deep, rich, cool red. Problem is, it makes my mouth look very very small, and any overdrawing look very very obvious. It applied well, except...
I love having another pink mascara - and in a formula that applies well! It is a little bit thicker than regular mascaras, but not as thick as Colourpop’s BFF Mascaras. I can get...
There are two parts to this collection: the original group, released in 2017; and the second (Stay for Dessert) released a year later. Both were inspired by recipe cards of 1970s foods: interesting uses for jello,...
As of March 2021, this is the only rich red eyeshadow in the entire Six Wives collection. Beloved Sister is a rich red blush, but it’s a blush, so it’s more sheer; and it’...
