Shiro Cosmetics / Detrivore’s Vivianite

This was one of the first colors from this collection to catch my eye! Blue eyed people don’t always look fantastic wearing blue eyeshadow, because it washes out our eyecolor…but with some eyecolors, I’ll make it work. This is one of them - I love saturated, medium-...

Milani Cosmetics’ Hypnotic Lights Powder Highlighter in Flashing Light

This highlighter is more gold than rose, but there is a very faint layer of sheer pink under the gold shimmer. This is almost a powder-dupe of Unicorn Dreams. I like the layering effect and the way that the background color makes the gold highlight stand out just that much...

CND’s Vinylux Sassy Sapphire (332)

This polish was nicely opaque, and while it doesn’t have the super-shiny metallic finish, it does seem a bit luminescent.

TKB Trading’s Hilite Copper

Notoriously Morbid’s Miniwashitu

You know I have to get almost any red eyeshadow that I run across! This is a medium, slightly-brighter red with the tiniest amount of light reflection. I saw nicely even coverage and good color payoff for either dry or wet application.

ColourPop’s Lux Lipstick in Sashay

I bought this shade as soon as I saw it on ColourPop’s web site, back in spring 2019. I was starting to flesh out my lip collection with deeper colors that I’d only just started feeling comfortable wearing. (The last time they were hugely popular was, I think, in 200...

L’Oréal’s Voluminous Lash Paradise Waterproof Mascara

This mascara says that it adds definition and length…and that’s what I see. It doesn’t add volume, even though it’s ostensibly part of the Voluminous line. I don’t see much clumping, but it’s there on the endmost lashes - very small clumps. If you...

Color Club’s Comfy Cozy

A pale tan verging on orange-tan…but not quite enough to strongly lean warm. This isn’t my favorite shade for a full manicure, but I can see this being a very attractive nail-art color - for stripes, dots, or shapes over a deep navy or a vampy red.

Color Club’s Enchanted

I have wanted a bright green holo polish for a long time. I’d seen darker greens, and Color Club released a seafoam-green holo, but no kelly green (no hunter green either…hm. There’s another one I need!) This is a scattered holographic with some larger particles, like most...

Concrete Minerals’ Star Man collection

These four colors were all new, added to CM’s lineup since 2017. The kit was only available in the last half of 2019, so if you’d bought any one of the other colors already, it would have been a better bargain to buy the eyeshadows separately…or buy the kit...
