I love these!! They’re inexpensive, they’re sturdy, the packaging is excellent. The makeup remover fluid does work to take off makeup, even waterproof makeup. Just hold it to your face or eye for about 30 seconds to let the remover penetrate and break down the makeup, then wipe away. As with most makeup-remover cloths or pads, there will be some of the remover left behind on your face, so...
I passed on this one when it initially came out because so many of the photos that I saw made this look a bit to muddy or yellowed for my preferences - or it looked like a basic white creme. Turns out… a) those weren’t the best photos and b) I like this a lot more than I thought. It is almost white, but not completely. It’s an...
This is a lovely “neutral” / softer red shade. I would almost call it an “office-safe red”. The coverage is great, it levels out like a dream, and this is part of the current regular lineup rather than being a seasonal shade.

I love bright colors - but only when they’re saturated and fairly well pigmented. The Acid palette looks attractive, but the shadows themselves are a bit soft.

This differs from the Chaos palette in that these are essentially neon or near-neon shades, while the Chaos palette is a mix of neons and vivids,...
Nine mica colorants grouped together because they’re a solid “starter” set for someone making their own makeup or soap or other crafts that use colorants. Most of these are pretty saturated - even Lucky,...
Yes, all of the squares in the montage-photo are the same eyeshadow - in different states. This one has so many faces! In the pot it looks pinkish-brown, applied dry it’s more of an...
Ah, a near-hot-pink liner pencil!! Many moons ago when Nyx’s Hot Pink Jumbo Eye Pencil was going out of stock, I bought several. Then, in 2015…this shade turns up. It’s just a little...
This turned out not to be the best shade for me - when I looked at swatches online, it seemed a bit more neutral in some shots and a little deeper in others. I was...
