Concrete Minerals’ Spacey

This color was added to Concrete Minerals’ lineup sometime between 2015 and 2019. (I was not paying extreme close attention to CM’s offerings for a while because there was nothing new, and I had bought all of the eyeshadows that I wanted from them, so…for a while, I stopped checking...

Zoya’s Margaret

This is right on the edge of being a “berry red” - in some lights, it is more of a berry-red than a neutral red. The formula is Zoya standard cream, lovely self-leveling and fairly good durability. I think that there may be other similar reds, but this is a...

Sephora’s Colorful Shadow Liner in Grey

I love grey liner and shadow pencils. With my fair coloring and ever-fading/greying hair, frey eyeliner gives a softer eye definition than black or brown. It also gives a deeper-colored shadow base…again, without being full-on black or brown or another darker neutral. I have occasionally tried using this...

Kiko Cosmetics’ Long Lasting Stick Shadow in Lagoon Blue (41)

My Pretty Zombie’s Ribbon Candy highlighter

This is an incredibly sheer highlighter. I can see how it can actually look like it might dull most complexions, because the base is a pale pink buff-grey. The light-reflecting particles are the aqua, and they are a rougher glittery layer rather than a smooth glow. I personally think that...

Color Club’s Pinkies Up

I like the shade, even if it does make my fingers look a bit red. The formula is a little thick, so it doesn’t level out quite as well as I’d like. It also tends to stick and slub up a bit. (The other polishes in this collection...

Sally Hansen’s Rock My Way (614)

Dark chocolate. Coffee, straight up. It’s got the standard Xtreme-Wear smooth formula that applies easily and self-levels very nicely. It’s a bit more durable than most other drugstore polishes. This is a darker shade from Sally Hansen, so to avoid yellowing your nails, you’ll want to lay...

Wet n Wild’s Fantasy Makers Paint Palette: Pastels

This is not my favorite set of colors. I admit, I picked this up for completeness’ sake in 2019. It didn’t come back in 2020, I think because Wet n Wild realized that the mermaid/unicorn wave had definitely crested. The coverage is okay - fairly even, not thin, and it...

BareMinerals’ Buxom Bold Bling Plumping Lip Gloss Set

This is a smaller set - good for “stocking stuffers”, and a decent selection, for a three-piece kit. The colors aren’t the best for people with more pigmentation in their lips, but both Clair and Dominique do provide a bit of sparkle that will be visible even if the...

L’Oréal’s Infallible 24HR Eye Shadow in Golden Sage (333)
