Kiko Cosmetics’ Long Lasting Stick Shadow in Pearly White (01)

I love these Stick Shadows! Even ones in a color that I don’t normally love. Actually, it’s the consistency of this one that I don’t care for quite so much. The pearl finish isn’t smooth because the underlying color doesn’t seem to want to go...

Shiro Cosmetics’ On Your Mark, Get Set, Bake! blush

I opted to only get two of the items from the cool-toned Signature collection: the periwinkle-blue Tiers of Joy eyeshadow, and this blush.

Sigil Inspired’s Dreaming of a World Split

This isn’t quite a duotone, but the orange shimmer is definitely strong enough to be visible. The coverage is good, and it’s a medium-depth and medium-intensity purple, so it’s squarely in the middle of the “purple” range. It blends very nicely, but it’s too bright a...

Zoya’s Blake

This is one of the darkest blues I’ve gotten from Zoya. (Kotori comes quite close, as does Ibiza.) I got this because in some of the other photos, the gold shimmer was a little more evident. I don’t know if I got a darker batch, or not; but...

Nails Inc’s Mermaid Parade

Nails Inc’s Ocean Ever After

Nails Inc’s Self-Made Mermaid polish duo

A pair of blue polishes: a medium blue-gold foil, and a pearlescent pale blue. This duo is similar to the other two that I have, Sparkle Like a Unicorn and Champagne Shine - there’s one full-coverage polish, and one semisheer that could do double duty as either an effects-topper,...

TKB Trading’s Princess Merida

Another of the dual-colored Galaxy micas from TKB! The colorchange in this one is fairly visible, unlike Mr. Fantastic’s near-imperceptible shift. I love the base shade and the shift color, but I’d have preferred a satin or shimmer finish.

Sephora’s Professionnel Powder Brush

I bought this because a friend of mine - a former beauty blogger who’s since turned to other ventures - absolutely loved this brush for applying her foundation. I tried it for both powder and liquids, and it does work very nicely as a buffing brush. I wish that...

Kiko Cosmetics’ Jelly Jungle Waterproof Mascara in Blue Horizon

The formula’s a bit thin, so more of this tends to end up on my lid rather than on my lashes, unless I use the end of the mascara wand for application. I like the brighter shade - blue mascara is currently undergoing a bit of a revival, but...
