When I first saw this on Jordana’s website, I thought that it would be a color-dupe for Buxom Brooklyn - it might have some brown undertones to it, I thought. This is great! Sadly…it’s definitely more of a medium-deep red. The shade match isn’t quite what...
A good assortment of eyeshadow brushes - from softer blending to firmer all-over application to fine-detail. The brushes are part of what was formerly known as the “Studio” line of brushes. They all have black handles and black bristles, and while most were always synthetic bristles they’re ALL synthetic...

The formula is just a little bit thick, and tends to want to show streaks. But it’s a very nice shade with great opacity, a softened shimmer finish, and an understated color and metallic aspect. Zoya’s Jules was somewhat similar, but a bit deeper and a little more...
