Fyrinnae’s Winter Sunrise

Fyrinnae’s Winter Sunrise

Posted on Monday, at

Not *quite* a sheer color, though there’s more heft to the pink shimmer finish than to the pink-coral base shade. It’s a bit like Cupcake Frosting, Aye Aye Captain, and the other colors released in that wave: yes, the color is much more intense over a dark base;...

Shiro Cosmetics’ Corona

Shiro Cosmetics’ Corona

Posted on Monday, at

The first of two colors created and named for the solar eclipse happening in August 2017. The corona is the halo of light visible around the edges of the eclipse…and the color Corona is a blackened red with semi-visible flecks of gold. (The gold disappears upon application, though.) The application...

Aromaleigh v2.1’s Oshun highlighter

Aromaleigh v2.1’s Oshun highlighter

Posted on Friday, at

According to the vendor’s website, this color is supposed to also be a bronzer. I’m not seeing it…unless it’s used as a bronzer on the absolute palest of pale skintones. Aside from that, it’s a nice neutral colorwash that I’ll use over a darker...

My Pretty Zombie’s Garnish

My Pretty Zombie’s Garnish

Posted on Thursday, at

An attractive shade…that doesn’t apply too well, unfortunately. I had the best results applying it dry, patting it over primer…but the usual soft sweep-across that I do to get rid of any excess showed me some thinner spots. The wet application was uneven because this shadow does...

This color applies well, though a sealant wouldn’t be a bad idea if you want to maxinize and keep the shimmer. It’s a heathered medium-light green, so works fairly well as an “honorary neutral” shade. I have some similar greens…but not exact matches. I’m glad that...

Sally Hansen’s Royal Hue (469)

Sally Hansen’s Royal Hue (469)

Posted on Wednesday, at

When Pacific Blue was reformulated, and its color changed…I (and many others) were less than thrilled. The original Pacific Blue was a huge favorite, and for a lot of folks, was their first and/or favorite blue nail polish. In spring/summer of 2015, Sally Hansen added this shade, Royal...

ColourPop’s Staycation collection

ColourPop’s Staycation collection

Posted on Tuesday, at

I didn’t buy this collection as a collection…I’ve bought the colors individually over time. When this was marked down to $25, then you effectively got one free lippie. Other than that, unless you knew that you were in love with all of the colors (all of which were...

Fyrinnae’s Innocent Sorrow

Fyrinnae’s Innocent Sorrow

Posted on Monday, at

Pigmented enough to stand on its own, but light enough and reflective enough to make a good highlighter…if applied sparingly. This exact shade is a little too yellow for me to use as a standalone color and wear it easily with other shades that look good on me. But...

Fyrinnae’s Tasmanian Devil

Fyrinnae’s Tasmanian Devil

Posted on Monday, at

There’s a softened blue-pearl finish on this one that throws back some light, but doesn’t completely cover the base shade. I have seen similar shades from other indie companies - maybe not exact matches, but close in the ballpark. (Though if they have a pearl finish, it doesn’...
