Color Club’s In The Buff
This is a very light brown, but it’s definitely showing brown tones. The formula is just a tiny bit thick, but that isn’t universal among the other Meet Your Match colors that I tried, so possibly that’s just the batch. (A drop of polish thinner and some vigorous shaking fixed things nicely.) This one is thick enough that it will come in very handy for nail art!
L’Oréal’s Voluminous Million Lashes Waterproof Mascara
This is most definitely a “definition”-mascara. I had only a little tangling, but no clumping. The brush was okay, but I didn’t feel that it gave me any particular control.
Color Club’s Nothing To Wear
One of the palest neutrals from this collection, and one of the first colors I was interested in. This has a faint latte-brown tone to it, and is more neutral than yellow-leaning. The formula applied very well and self-leveled excellently, with no thin spots. At two coats, you can definitely see the ridges of my nails in that manicure, though! (Buffing isn’t something that I do regularly…and it...
Zoya’s Leighton

Shiro/Detrivore’s collection themed on Báthory Erzsébet (Elizabeth Bathory), the Hungarian countess believed to be the most prolific female murderer in history…though there is some dispute about the number of victims,...
CND’s Vinylux Treasured Moments collection
The Fall 2019 collection included three very autumnal shades, one more that could work as autumnal-ish, and one other…I’m not sure how a berry-purple is ‘autumnal.’ I knew that I wanted Cap & Gown,...
Notoriously Morbid’s Yesferatu
This is a lighter base color than I thought it would be; and the dry application is more opaque and better-looking than the wet application. It does make a nice liner on lighter-to-medium skintones, but...
Notoriously Morbid’s Billiwhack
This shadow behaves differently between wet and dry application. When it dries down, the wet application remains a cooler pink with the barest hints of gold shimmer. The dry-over-primer application shows a lighter, more neutral...
Colourpop’s BFF Mascara in Purple Prose
I like this color depth! It’s not a super-bright purple, but it’s not so deep that it may as well be black, either. The formula is thicker and somewhat paste-like, so you easily...
