March 2017: And we’re (still) moving

I’d forgotten just how whimsical and lyrical The SheSpace‘s eyeshadow names were. Bit by Glitz. Broken Wings. Be The Fairytale. Crystal Wind. Dazzle Dance. Vampires Tap Dancing. Snow White’s Dark Side. Inhale Sunshine. Moonlight and Miracles. Gin Fizz and a Phone Number. I started buying from TSS…...

Too Faced’s Melted Liquid Lipstick in Chihuahua

Fyrinnae’s Arcane Magic: Diamonds from Mars

The “resting” color on this one is a faded orange-red, with a near-pearl finish. When the light angle shifts, the bottom turns brass-ish, and the finish shows more strongly gold-bronze. This color really complements medium to deep blue eyes, whether they’re green, blue, or grey-leaning.

Meow Cosmetics’ Spider Wig

Mostly a medium-dark charcoal, but it has some green tones in there. (Not sure why; but they look interesting.)

CND’s Vinylux Skin Tease (217)

A nice near-neutral color. The formula is a little bit uneven, but I did get nearly (maybe 90%) full coverage in two coats. This reminds me of Zoya’s Shay: it’s the same color intensity and shade, with some buff undertones.

Maybelline’s Color Sensational Lipstick collection

On the slightly pricier side for drugstore lipsticks, but they have the color payoff and (for the most part) longevity to merit the pricetag. At one time, these had a core line, and then several "sub-collections" - Vivid Brights, Creamy Mattes - but now they're all under just the one...

Fyrinnae’s Sunlit Boudoir

This color has already been set to be discontinued - I’m not sure if it’s because it was a very low seller, or if a key ingredient was discontinued by the manufacturer. But I’m glad that I got my jars when I did. (As of today it’...

Femme Fatale Cosmetics’ Little Polly Flinders

Makeup Revolution’s Vivid Baked Highlighter in Pink

Ulta does carry Rose Gold, along with all its other Vivid Baked Highlighters…but not Pink. Pink seems to have either been a limited-edition product, or one that the company decided just wasn’t selling too well. The pink is slightly cool, almost a pinked lavender highlight. It works well...

ColourPop’s Lippie Stix in Cami

Parker and Cami are the lightest shades in the To and From collection, and the ones that I can use most easily. Cami leans just the tiniest bit cool, though as far as reds go, this is close to “neutral” - it’s fairly well balanced between blue and orange...
