I think this was the color I was looking for years ago when I asked people for a true blue-red eyeshadow. (Except I’m not entirely sure that this mica was available…or if it was, it definitely wasn’t under this name.) This is a blue-red, but it’s...

The pearl finish almost overwrites the base color, which is a very nice muted olive…that I would have liked to have more visible, darn it.

Love the color! Not so wild about the finish or texture, though. If it were a satin, I’d be wearing this as often as I could get away with it. This is almost - ALMOST - the same color as Revlon’s long-discontinued Darling, which is my absolute favorite...

I actually forgot that I bought this color…it’s been sitting in my backlog that long. There are some largeish sparkle particles, but they’re sparse enough to be more like accidental highlights, than a sparkle or even shimmer finish. The base shade itself has great coverage and stays...

A nice color that could make a good liner. Just beware of the finish’s tendency to be a little bit patchy, and either layer it, or compensate in some other fashion. This shadow was just slightly hydrophobic, so perhaps using a mixing medium other than water, and/or a...

Girly Bits’ The Room Where It Happens

Girly Bits’ The Room Where It Happens

The base shade is multichrome…somewhat. It sticks to the cool end of the color spectrum, and is overall muted, so while the colorshift is present, it isn’t the forefront of the polish. I needed three coats to get full opacity, but three coats gave me maximum colorshift, and...

A nice trio, though Jill isn’t an easy color to use - it doesn’t work too well as a highlighter, because it doesn’t adhere easily. All three are micas, so you’ll need to take extra steps to apply these colors evenly and keep them in place...

Another very nice neutral that I almost didn’t get a chance to pick up! I bought it during the final days of LaurEss’ closedown. There have been other similar shades from other companies - including big-name corporations - and while I have a few variants, it’s something that...

Almost a “holiday” red: not overly saturated, not overly bright, but to me it’s halfway between “autumnal” and “Christmassy.”
