NYX Cosmetics’ Simply Lip Cream Set #3

A bit of a contrast to the #2 set - these colors are all a bit more wearable for fair/light/medium skintones. There’s one “nude” neutral, one pink, and one red. XOXO is a very deep pink, almost a pinked red. Maraschino is the least intense of the “red”...

BareMinerals’ Wanderlust Desert kit

A collection of warm and warmer neutral shades. The blush doesn’t work so well for me, but I love the eyeshadow and the glow powder! (And the eyeliner. I love the Round the Clock liners.) This kit was available only through BE boutiques and the webstore - as the...

ColourPop’s Lippie Stix in Lumière
