Zoya’s Cinnamon

Zoya’s Cinnamon

I like this color, but I wish the formula was just a little bit better. It doesn’t self-level nearly as well as it could, with some visible “furrows” on some of my nails in this manicure.

Medium-depth vivid colors with a creme finish. All are totally opaque, and most of them are a bit stubborn to remove. Most of the shades have near-dupes from other lines and collections, but one - Jace - is relatively unique. There are other polishes somewhat similar to Jace, I don’...

Very similar to TKB Trading’s Pearl Green, but with far better application and adhesion (which makes sense, since TKB’s Pearl colors are unblended micas.) The faint hints of coral that are visible in the pot don’t show up when applied dry, but they did seem to come...

Black under-layer, and a mix of navy and deep turquoise as the primary visible color. The shade is opaque enough that I think it will work well on any skintone without any lessened color payoff. I like this on me best as a liner or an accent shade, but it’...

Aromaleigh v2.1’s Fatalis collection

Posted on Friday, at

These colors were originally released for Halloween 2015. All of the shades were marketed as colorshifters, and all of the eyeshadows (as opposed to the multipurpose powders) are sold in smaller amounts, due to the higher price of the ingredients. In my swatching experience with these, the color shifts are more...

This isn’t totally opaque…sort of. The finishing shimmer has a few spots of lesser coverage, but the base color is

This is definitely a colorant. It works halfway-decent when applied wet, but just looks lousy when I try to apply it over primer. I’ve seen this used in nail polishes, and it’s a deep evergreen that looks lovely. But it definitely should not be used on its own...

CND’s Vinylux Unlocked (268)

CND’s Vinylux Unlocked (268)

Posted on Wednesday, at

This is my absolute favorite from the Nude collection. It’s defnitely cooler, almost more of a nearly-neutral purple than a brown. It reminds me of Field Fox, another surprising neutral polish from CND. This color sold out of a lot of online outlets fairly quickly, and it took a...

Shiro Cosmetics / Detrivore’s The Wheel of the Year collection

Two highlighters and six blushes that actually do a fairly good job covering the spectrum. Litha is a deep, highly-pigmented red that will actually show up on deeper skintones, while Ostara and Mabon are softer pinks (slightly cool and slightly warm, respectively.) There are pale almost-highlighters (more pigmentation than shimmer),...

Shiro Cosmetics’ Gingham Altar

Shiro Cosmetics’ Gingham Altar

Posted on Monday, at

The rich purple-brown base color gets softened a bit when applied. The pearl finish isn’t as reflective as other pearl-finish shadows I have, but it does cover the color in a smooth white-ish layer. I can and have used this as a softer eye liner, but I think it...
