Beauty Bay has a nice eyeshadow formula, and several palettes that really attract my attention. One is the Bright palette - they have this one, an all-matte version, and version 2.0 which has a slightly richer color selection. All are available in 9-pan, 16-pan, and 42-pan sizes. On one hand -...
Inspired by Hannibal, who only ate the rude. A metallic burgundy-red that shifts to medium tarnished green. The shift isn't as crisp or as vivid as some other variations of this multichrome cosmetic, but it is enough to look very striking in certain lighting. Blending it out diminishes the colorshift,...
A rich yellow-gold metallic liner. Not a patinaed gold, not a standard or traditional orangeish gold...metallic yellow with a deeper-toned base. It looks okay on me, but not "OMG FANTASTIC" because of how it meshes with my coloring. (I'm a winter - yellow is not always my best buddy,...
Another heavier-duty sheet mask from Missha. This one is part of the Mascure (mask-cure, see what they did there) sub-collection, each with a focus on one ingredient to help with this or that skin concern. Madecassoside helps soothe skin to minimize redness or texture (scaling), and the vendor site mentions...
This is not the best color on me, but it's a great red for folks who prefer a bit of warmth in their reds. This color has orange tones rather than being straight-up orange, and the orange tones aren't very blatant, but they're there. This is almost a poppy-red, but...
The main color is silver, but you get the occasional flashes of gold or pink or blue as the light refracts off of the various glitter particles. The formula is a little thinner than other silver polishes I've used, so that wasn't my favorite thing ever. It does have the...
This palette was released alongside Earthy and Midnight. Unlike those other two, this only has two sizes: 9 colors, and 16 colors. While I kind of understand why they didn't release a 42-color Berries palette - too much purple overlap with Midnight if they used cooler berry shades, not enough berry-red colors...
This is a blue-and-purple palette - literally half-and-half. The top three rows are blues, the bottom three rows are purples. There's a mix of shimmer and matte, with most of the shimmers in Beauty Bay's cream-to-powder formula that I dislike. I initially thought that I'd get the 16-color version since...
