Aromaleigh v2’s Spiritmist

Aromaleigh v2.1’s Amaterasu

This was sold as a blush or highlighter. In slightly dimmed lights, it looks ruddier. You can make it look more intense by putting it over beige or yellow bases, and can be used - quite handily - on lids as well.

Aromaleigh v2.1’s Araneae

Almost a red-orange, and a very saturated color! It almost looks like it could be a straight mica powder, except for the gold duotone. (Some micas from places like TKB Trading have a duotone effect; but they're in the minority.) This color is VERY saturated! You could probably buff it...

BareMinerals’ Buxom Erin

A cooler pink than Pixie, closest to Zena but cooler still. It is definitely sheer - so it’s another “soft layer” or an effects shade. The finish isn’t quite shimmer free, but more like…a shimmer-flake? The particles are larger, don’t seem to have the same sharp...

BareMinearls’ Buxom Emma

Misty, from the Sailor Girls, showed up as Emma. Same lip color, same artwork and everything. This was not one of my favorite shades in the Sailor Girls kit, and it’s not one of my favorites now. (I got it in a kit.) For the “white” lip polishes, I...

elf’s Smudge Pot in Cruisin’ Chic

Physician’s Formula Cream GelLiner in GlamBlue Blue

Who says folks with blue eyes shouldn't wear blue shadow or liner? This is a medium blue, not overly bright, though I would have preferred something that leaned a bit more navy. The application is a little on the patchy side, though dotting or short stripes does alleviate that a...

BareMinerals’ buxom Sasha

Sasha is a sheer neutral with a small amount of shimmer. It’s definitely sheer, and all but disappears on my lips. There was no artwork on this kit packaging, so I have no idea which - if any - Buxom artwork was supposed to go with Sasha. This one...

Meow Cosmetics’ Spark blush

Lots of gold sparkle microparticles in this coral-pink base. The sparkle isn't overly apparent when applied, is more of a soft highlight. The base color flatters the middle range of skintones best, but can work well on a wide variety of cool-neutral to warm-neutral undertones. I don't know how this...

ColourPop’s Lippie Stix in Bichette

I so wanted to love this color! Actually…I do love this color! I’m just very very very not-used to seeing a bold lip on my face, so I don’t reach for it much.
