This was one of my more anticipated purchases from Sigil Inspired, since I hadn’t really seen orange eyeshadows with a strong cooler duotone layer. (I have since found that Notoriously Morbid’s Thunderbird is a close match.) Unlike some of my other Sigil Inspired shades, this one doesn’t...
I got this brush once by accident, but quickly found a perfect use for it: not so much smudging, as initially collecting colors from palettes and patting them onto my lids. Fuller, fluffier brushes are good for picking up loose powders, but for pressed shadows I’ve found that they...
This is a very light brown, but it’s definitely showing brown tones. The formula is just a tiny bit thick, but that isn’t universal among the other Meet Your Match colors that I tried, so possibly that’s just the batch. (A drop of polish thinner and some...
This is most definitely a “definition”-mascara. I had only a little tangling, but no clumping. The brush was okay, but I didn’t feel that it gave me any particular control.
One of the palest neutrals from this collection, and one of the first colors I was interested in. This has a faint latte-brown tone to it, and is more neutral than yellow-leaning. The formula applied very well and self-leveled excellently, with no thin spots. At two coats, you can definitely...
I got a mini bottle of Leighton free with some promo or other. I have enough black-violet creme polishes, and so it was a color that I’d previously intentionally passed over. The formula is nice enough, though a tiny bit on the thick side.
Shiro/Detrivore’s collection themed on Báthory Erzsébet (Elizabeth Bathory), the Hungarian countess believed to be the most prolific female murderer in history…though there is some dispute about the number of victims, since no evidence was produced. Since her family was incredibly wealthy and powerful, she was...
The Fall 2019 collection included three very autumnal shades, one more that could work as autumnal-ish, and one other…I’m not sure how a berry-purple is ‘autumnal.’ I knew that I wanted Cap & Gown, and Baby Smile looked interesting - though it turned out to be more of a...
This is a lighter base color than I thought it would be; and the dry application is more opaque and better-looking than the wet application. It does make a nice liner on lighter-to-medium skintones, but it will look ashy on richer skintones. The red shimmer means that trying to use...
