ColourPop’s BFF Mascara collection

I love the different colors - and the brighter colors! (And the white mascara.) I love that they’re easily accessible. I don’t love that they aren’t available in a waterproof formula. The wand is a fairly standard “bottle-brush” wand with a helix-twist that does a fairly decent...

L’Oréal’s Infallible 24HR Eye Shadow in Strawberry Blonde (341)

This is similar to the Hilite Red interference powder from TKB Trading - except that the base is a bit pinker, and the color is a bit…gummier? clumpier? I’m not sure how to describe it; but even for the 24HR Eye Shadow collection, this is one of the...

TKB Trading’s Pearl Peach

This color appears deeper depending on whether it’s applied dry or wet. It isn’t just the finish, it’s the base color. The dry application is a deeper orange with less visible pearl/frost finish. I use it as an accent color; but I think I would have...

Jordana’s Classic Color Lipliner in Bare Blush

I like this color because it’s a not-quite-nude color on me. It’s a little deeper than my skintone with very faint pink notes. I can use this as a lipliner for colors like Touch of Spice, Lolita, Matte Naked, or Rose-Brown.

Maybelline’s Snapscara in Black Cherry

This is not the color I thought it would be. I thought it would be more of a deep maroon but still clearly a red. This is blackened, and is a little cooler than I anticipated. The application is alright, it covers the lashes evenly and doesn’t clump up...

ColourPop’s Blush Stix in Pretty Thing

ColourPop’s Lux Lipstick in Tiana

Color Club’s Astro-Naughty

Sally Hansen’s Always Extra (016)

This required three coats for near-full opacity (you can see some VNL in some shots.) The gold wasn’t very visible, and the polish itself showed brushstrokes - it’s not a metallic finish, it isn’t a frost finish either. Not my favorite from this lineup, though it had...

Maybelline’s Super Stay Ink Crayon collection

When the Buxom Lip Pencils were discontinued, I was very unhappy. While there were other lip pencils, the ones from Buxom were firmer, applied more smoothly, had better color payoff, and had some shades that I loved. (I’m still in mourning for Brooklyn.) When Maybelline released their Super Stay...
