Milani Cosmetics’ Gilded Flora Shadow Stick collection

I saw these and I was so thrilled! Milani's discontinued Shadow Eyez were fantastic (I still have and use several) so seeing some new colors in what looked to be the same product with a new name...I was definitely on board! The vendor colors make the purple one look...

Silk Naturals’ Cranberry

Silk Naturals’ Queen

This is a nice deeper near-neutral shade. It's a bit too warm to work as a neutral on me, but it complements my eye color. It blends very well, and gives me good coverage without the need for layering. This color was released in Spring 2016 and discontinued in late 2020 or...

CND’s Vinylux Verbena Velvet (388)

CND’s Vinylux Books and Beaujolais (383)

One of the first polishes from the Wild Romantics collection that caught my eye, along with Candlelight. This was such a rich blue-red that I just had to buy a bottle. I have deeper reds, and brighter reds, but not too many similar shades. The formula is great in this...

CND’s Vinylux Wrapped in Linen (401)

One of the two neutrals, and the second-lightest color, in the Wild Romantics collection. It's a pressed-cider brown, slightly warm but not too heavy. The coverage is excellent, but the polish is just a tiny bit on the thicker side - such that it was too easy for me to...

ColourPop’s Crème Gel Liner in Plum Smash

Handaiyan’s Colored Mascara in Emerald Green (07)

This green mascara is a deeper green. Not necessarily a blackened green, but it's deep enough that I don't get as much color-effect when I'm wearing it. I prefer the Malachite Green from this collection - and I initially thought it would be the opposite. The mascara applies well enough...

Missha’s Airy Fit Sheet Mask in Pomegranite

I used these six times - six weekends in a row. I applied each face mask soon after I got out of the shower, left it on for 20 minutes, and then rinsed my face and used a gentle cleanser. This mask, like the other Airy Fit sheet mask, was thinnish...

ColourPop’s Blush Stix in Too Hot

I was kind of hoping that this color would be a little more intense. It can be, if you layer it, but that deepens the color a bit. I know that hot pink blush is not everyone's jam, but I was thrilled to be able to buy this! (I would...
