Dawn Eyes Cosmetics’ Red Chrome

This one isn’t as metallic as the other Color Chromes…but I’m okay with that. The color payoff is great! It blends decently, though it does stain if you apply it without some kind of base.

ColourPop’s Lux Lipstick in Angel City

I thought this would be a little cooler than it turned out to be. It looks cool in some lights, warm in others. It’s a shade just barely within my personal comfort zone, and the coverage is about on par with the other Lux Lipsticks.

Shiro Cosmetics’ Song of the Puddle Siren

Shiro Cosmetics’ Petal Capped Pastry

I can almost see using this over some of the Bite Beauty multisticks, to add a little bit of shimmer and to slightly alter the base color.

Bite Beauty’s Multistick in Mauvember

Simply Naturals’ Plasma

I’ve had this for so many years…I can’t believe I hadn’t swatched it before this point. The color complements my eyes very nicely, and compared to some of the Simply Naturals colors, this has pretty good adhesion. I can’t find any single TKB mica that...
