An interesting duo…pink and Army green paired up. Like all the other Polish Duos, these polishes can’t be purchased individually. I think this first came out in 2017 or thereabouts. I like both of the polishes in this duo, but I like Fearless Female best. I haven’t seen...
Similar to Blood and Guts, but less of a near-neutral shade and with more visible blue shimmer. If you want a dusty berry shade rather than a borderline “smoky” color, To Boldly Go is the better choice. This applies decently enough and blends fairly well.
I keep trying low-cost lip primers to find some miracle like Wet n Wild’s Photo Finish Eyeshadow Primer, but it just hasn’t happened. Until that day…this is the lip primer that works best for me.
I have been using this for a while - at least since 2012. It’s easily available, it goes on smooth and absorbs quickly, and I like how it leaves my skin feeling. This stuff is outright amazing, in terms of moisturizing. I’ll put it on my elbows and on...
This was the first polish from this collection that I bought. It’s semisheer, got a very light lavender tint and some larger, slightly darker purple glitter bits. I have to apply three coats to get full opacity, and even then there’s a hint of visible nail line. I...
This collection is interesting enough: six pale or near-white shimmer-finish eyeshadows in a rainbow array. This kit was new for 2019, but most of the colors were available for a long time before that. I didn't buy this kit as it was sold, because I already owned most of the shades. ...
If you’re in the mood for pastel-ish neutrals, this is an excellent collection. Released during the run-up to Valentine’s Day, this managed to hit the “valentine” vibe without being overwhelmingly pink and/or treacly. The colors are fairly good shades with excellent formulas, though Poetry is a deeper...
If you want black eyeliner, this is the stuff. Unadulterated black pigment, no shimmer or sparkle. This is an unblended oxide, so it’s very pigmented. A little goes a long way! It can also easily overwhelm other colors that it’s blended into - so start off with a...
I was hoping for another primer that acted like a color-adhesive, to help my lip color stay in place longer. I was less concerned with smoothing, but if the primer helped minimize feathering (especially on bolder deeper shades) that would also be welcome. The form and price seemed great, and...
