I like getting ahold of a solidly brown mascara. Not black-brown, but solidly brown. It applies decently, but like the other Handaiyan mascaras, it's not as long-lasting as many waterproof mascaras sold in drugstores. The super-thin bristles mean that you have to work extra hard to get definition. And this...
This is a really lovely rose shade. It was released with the Pinks sub-collection in early 2020, and hit stores a few weeks before states started going into lockdown, so it isn't too surprising that this collection wasn't as big a splash when it first came out. It has some berry...
I love this color combination with the silver-white particles! The deeper greens with orange and hints of gold is lovely. However, it took me four coats to get this level of opacity and color intensity. That bit did not thrill me at all. I know that multichromes can be finicky,...
Pale lavender creme - but not so pale as to verge into "purple-white" territory. It's similar to Zoya's Birch, but this is a little less bright and a little less opaque. Even with two coats, you can still see my nail line in the 2nd and 3rd photos of this...
Another eyeliner pair from Colourpop x NBA collaboration. Originally I didn't care to have anything to do with this pairing - a black and a red? No thanks, I got a red in Liv it Up and a black...well, just not my cuppa. The black has sparse microglitter particles,...
I am a sucker for eyeliners - mostly because they're one of the few eyelid colors that will actually remain visible when I close my hooded eyes. When I had the chance to get this kit in 2021, with seven eyeliners that I didn't have, I jumped at the chance. I...
When this came out in 2020 and I saw that it had six shades that I'd never gotten and four other shades that I knew I loved, I was glad to pick one up when Colourpop had one of their 20% sales. Then once I tried the new-to-me colors and liked them,...
I swear, I did not intend to publish the two blue eyeshadows from this collection on the same day. This color is softer than The Dire Mother, but no less opaque. I have a few other shadows that are close to this one, and one that's extremely similar. It crops...
This eyeshadow looks like it'll be a solid sapphire when you see the in-the-pot or in-the-pan color. It ends up being a faded-denim (not sunbleached, not really stonewashed either) with a pink interference effect. I have some other eyeshadows that are similar, but they are a lighter blue, and possibly...
I don't know why I keep buying crease brushes. With my hooded lids, any eyeshadow that I apply into my crease is completely hidden when my eyes are opened! I can and do use this for applying eyeshadows into my outer crease, but I also use it for microblending, or...
