Close to Hot Step Mama from TKB Trading, but leans a bit more coral-pink than red. This is a good shade for people who love the idea of red eyeshadow but not the result! You get more color depth, but since it shows up as a corallish shade it doesn’...
This is the only shade I got from the 2014 Entice collection, and I only picked it up in 2018. There were some other shades that caught my eye, but I already had other colors that were similar to Ryan (deepest turquoise) and while Geneviev looked interesting, I’m not 100% sure that...
In 2018, Revlon added five “limited edition” shades to the Colorburst Balmstain collection. Three were two purples, two cooler pinks, and one deep cool red. I was so thrilled to see all the purples! But, sadly, they don’t perform all that well for me. All are sheer to semisheer, and...
This isn’t very “apricot” to me, it’s a pinkish. Kind of watery pink, almost a softer “watermelon.” I like this shade, and it applied fairly nicely. Like all eyeshadows I wear, I get better results when I wear a primer. (Such is the gift of oily hooded lids....
Manufacturers have started changing their formulas in the past ten years, offering soaps and shampoos whose ingredients are less harsh and damaging to skin and hair while still actually cleaning off dirt and older oils. Cetaphil has been around since 1947, when it was first marketed by the dermatologist who came...
Another metallic silver liner - this one applies fairly smoothly and evenly. I don’t get the skipping or flaking that I do with some other silver liner pencils. That said, it’s nearly impossible to keep a sharp tip on this one! I don’t know if it’s...
This is almost more of a light warm-ish brown than an orange…but it leans just close enough. It’s a sparkle finish, and the sparkle doesn’t really buff away. If there’s a duotone with this one, they way there are with some of the other Labyrinth colors,...
This was a limited-edition, limited-availability shade. I had to jump through a few hoops to get myself two bottles (two, because I liked the swatches that I saw online, and decided to save on shipping when I did find a store selling it.) It goes on easily and gives full...
For their tenth anniversary, Sleek released an i-Divine palette with blacks, greys, and hot pinks. I finally bought one just before all of their i-Divines left rotation, but it honestly gets used the least out of all my Sleek palettes. I like the fuchsia and hot pink eyeshadows, and some...
I like this color…but it’s almost exactly identical to TKB Trading’s Bolera mica - right down to the pink shimmer. The coverage seems a little more opaque, but that factor alone doesn’t account for the huge jump in price versus TKB. It even behaves similar to...
