TKB Trading’s Robin

This colorant reminds me of Firelight and Straight To My Head. It’s a similar base shade with a similar color-shift. This color also shifts to a rosy bronze that looks like a very brown rose-pink, but it isn’t quite the rose suggested in the manufacturer’s artwork for...

Real Techniques’ Blush Brush

This is a slightly smaller, less dense version of Real Techniques’ Powder Brush. I prefer a more shaped brush for applying my blush, but I like brushes like this to either apply highlighter, or a highlight or “glow” layer.

Bite Beauty’s Multistick in Marscapone

This is definitely not the color I thought it would be. I thought it would be more of a deepish pink. Instead, it leans both orange and brown. It isn’t a color that looks fantastic on me. Good news is, it does look fantastic on other people. It gave...

Nails Inc’s Mermaid on the Rock

Nails Inc’s Naughty Tails and Sparkly Scales

Fyrinnae’s Arcane Magic: Internet

This was a limited-edition collaboration shade from Fyrinnae and Josh J Morin (or someone named Josh J Morin, who appears to have deleted his IG, YT, and other things.) I don’t know who this person was, but I’m glad that I got the color from Fyrinnae. It looks...

NYX Cosmetics’ Simply Vinyl Eyeliner in Crone

Kiko Cosmetics’ Smart Colour Mascara in Pearly Anthracite

A lighter color without being a brighter color. This gives me softer definition and a color that’s obviously different from navy, deep plum, or dark green. The brush bristles are trimmed in a cone, shorter near the top and longer near the base, so that you can separate the...
