I was really looking forward to this! It looked to be a deeper-than-primary, clear red. The performance of the pink mascara from this collection was so encouraging! This one, though…it was a bit liquidy, and it transferred to my lashes a bit too easily. It also clumped like a mad thing. I don’t know if I got a bad bottle of red mascara, or if all of the...
I thought this color would be a little cooler, possibly a little more mauved. It’s a…well, not brick red. Not terracotta red. It’s deeper, but not a “holiday” red. When I look at the cap’s color I think of a melon…but which one? (Maybe a watermelon, towards the rind, when it isn’t as bright as it is in the center where most of the...
I saw this on KBShimmer’s web site and knew that I wanted to have it in my collection! It’s a pale silver-blue holographic shimmer with added interference flashes of red and yellow. The holographic sparkle isn’t always the most visible thing about this polish - the interference colors take over in sunlight.

The vendor text about this color says that it’s a blue. I…don’t see the blue? (I really really did want that blue-with-hints-of-purple-and-green with the pink interference shift.) Aside from this color not...
This doesn’t work as a face color for me. The matte version might work as a super-subtle contour shade…but it could easily look like dirt rather than bronzer, because it is such a...
A greyed light blue that’s not quite “slate”, but is still definitely muted with grey tones. I have other light blue polishes - with and without some kind of duotone shimmer or interference shift...
When the Ariel palette was released, I was the colors appealed to me: the hues, the saturation, and the balance between neutrals and the more colorful shades. The earliest reviews of this palette mentioned its...
2020 and 2021 saw several Disney-collab releases from Makeup Revolution’s various brands. The “princess” collections (Fairy Tale books?) all have a face-and-eye palette, a standalone highlighter, and a lip topper. I was only interested in the...
