Aromaleigh v2.1’s Di Inferni blush

I didn't get too many items from the Proserpina collection. The shades were a little too...dusty? They were deeper, but not bright or rich. "Dusty" is not the right word, but my brain isn't letting me remember which -=is=- the right word. At any rate, this blush...

ILNP’s Bishop

This multichrome...sort of shifts. It isn't as dramatic or colorful as many others, but the shift is there. I catch flashes of metallic blue at the very edges, but that could just be the lighting - it's not a pretty definite "there it is" kind of thing. The formula...

Concrete Minerals’ Wasteland collection

Concrete Minerals’ War Paint collection

One of the four-color collections released during the Covid pandemic. The palette is a little odd, with the medium-bright blue, primary yellow, deep brown, and white.

Notoriously Morbid’s The Juggernaut

This is the deepest shade in the Oculus Infernum collection. It's a deep violet-blue base with silver, green, and what looks like aqua shimmer particles. It is technically a colorshifting shade, from deep blue to deep violet, but that's not the most visible component. It does blend, but...it's a...

Notoriously Morbid’s The Hammer

This color softens quite a bit from the pot to the application. It does shift, but not as much as I thought it would. The shift is softer, but very definite - from pale pink to silver-green to light cool grey. It reminds me of BareMinerals' grey-lilac colorshift, which was...

JD Glow Cosmetics’ Matte Gel Liner in Glory

Matte black eyeliner. Not exciting like JD Glow's other liquid gel liners, the neon brights and neon pastels and the metallics and the multichromes. But the formula of all the others is so great! I get a solid black line, with minimal reflectivity so it's nearly matte but not totally.

Handaiyan’s Colored Mascara in Lapis Blue (05)

The deeper of the two blue mascaras in this collection is still bright enough not to be a navy, but it's not a near-pastel shade either. This isn't the best shade on me because it kind of washes out my eye color, but that's just how the color looks on...

Maybelline’s Super Stay Ink Crayon in Change Is Good

ColourPop’s Lippie Stix in Galore

As soon as I saw this lip color, I knew I wanted it. It's a deeper shade that looks great on me, but was not always too easy to find. Getting it in a collection by Black creators was just an extra bonus: there would be a better-than-average chance that...
