Milani Cosmetics’ Metallic Glitter Lipstick collection

This was released for Halloween 2021 (or maybe it was Halloween 2020?) and it's still around, with all colors still available. I love that! I don't know how much longer this will last, but it feels like metallic and/or glittery lipstick collections don't stick around for years. NYX's Wicked Lippies are...

Beauty Bay’s Fiery 2.0 palette

In late 2016 (or early 2017, I can't find firm dates), Beauty Bay began releasing its own large palettes: the "EYN" or "Everything You Need" palettes. These initial 42-shade EYN palettes were mostly neutrals or muted shades, with one or two purple or a blue or a green or more saturated shades...

Fyrinnae’s Little Ghost Nebula

I love colors that have a deep blue or purple backing because…well, because I love deep blue and deep purple. And when colors have a blue or purple backing, you get strong hints of that color without actually needing to see it. This lets me wear the shadow without...

Fyrinnae’s Exquisites: Ethereal Firelight

Pale copper that morphs to rose, gold, and yellow-green depending on the light angle. It’s nice to have one of these red-yellow-green morphing shades with a coppery effect. When applied dry, the color is very soft, almost bleached out. There is a hint of orange, and a slight light...

ColourPop’s Crème Gel Liner in Ice Breaker

Cool aqua-green eyeliner - not necessarily good for definition, but great for an eyecatching color accent. There’s a little bit more green in this color than I originally thought there would be. I thought it would be more of a medium-light blue. It’s similar to JDGlow’s Neon...

ColourPop’s Crème Gel Liner in Spare Thyme

I love deeper mossy green eyeliners - they look very good with my blue eyes, and provide a bit of definition without looking too harsh. I would wish that this applied a little more smoothly, and was available for longer. It seemed to sell out almost as soon as they...

Missha’s Bee Pollen Renew Sheet Mask

I used these weekly, six times. My normal skincare routine during this time was an alternation of Olay Regenerist Serum and Missha Bee Pollen Renew Intense Moisturizer. The mask is cotton, it's very sturdy and soft, and it fit my not-small face. There's a lot of skincare product - not...

KBShimmer’s RV There Yet?

What is the term for these scattered white particles in nail polishes, anyway? It's common enough (in indie polishes, at least) that I feel like the community should have a phrase or description for it. At any rate, this polish has a really lovely metallic iridescence. Most of the time...

ILNP’s Abundance

BPerfect x Stacey Marie Carnival IV The Antidote palette

In mid-2020 I bought the Carnival III palette and enjoyed it very much. Then I looked at Stacey Marie’s Carnival and Carnival II palettes, and noticed that they were a bit…similar. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good rainbow palette. It just seems odd that, when...
