Femme Fatale Cosmetics’ Animal Shaped Jellies

The base color softens a bit when applied dry, but it doesn’t lose any intensity. I did get a little bit of staining (very faint) when applying this damp over bare skin, so if you’re extremely fair you’ll want to at least use a cream base, if...

Zoya’s Whispers collection

Softer greyed cremes that make me think of east-coast beach cottages. Eastyn caught my eye, and while I may loop back next Earth Day and get Lake, the other shades don’t do much for me. I picked up April, but I must have gotten a bad batch, because it...

NYX Cosmetics’ Faux Whites eyeliner in White Smoke

This and Lavender Blush are both nominally purple, but Lavender Blush has barely any color other than the white. This…does have a little bit of pale greyed lilac. The white is still pretty strong, and I don’t love how this one looks with my eye color; but it...

Zoya’s Naturel 3 collection

I loved the first two Naturel collections that came out, so I grabbed several from the third collection during the Earth Day promo. Jill is a lovely neutral near-mauve shade. I didn’t try Tatum or Cathy because I have enough nail colors in that shade range. I got all...

ColourPop’s Lippie Stix in Weekend

I can’t quite tell if this is a “true” red (neutral - leaning neither orange nor blue) or if it’s just a deeper red that isn’t obviously warmer or cooler. Either way, it’s a bit too intense for me to wear in the normal course of...

Makeup Revolution’s Vivid Baked Highlighter in Golden

BareMinerals’ Buxom Rose Julep

My Pretty Zombie’s Maxwell

Originally released April 1, 2017, along with Mauser. I like Maxwell better than Mauser - Maxwell isn’t quite as strong or saturated a color, but it’s a blue-green so it complements my eyes and works pretty well with most other shadows I have or may choose to wear. It applies

My Pretty Zombie’s Mauser

Originally released April 1, 2017 (along with Maxwell). Mauser is a bit more of a liner or micro-accent shade for me, than an all-over color. I do like that it’s a darker shade but it doesn’t have a heavy blackening layer like Biker Chic or Drama Blue.

Zoya’s Saint

I like both the base color and the interference effect. The polish is pretty durable, and there’s very little visible brushstrokes (there is some, but I’m putting that down to me this time around. I went a little fast, which also accounts for the thinner spots.) This is...
