The purple base color is very evident when this is foiled - and then it's almost a candied blue-violet. The aqua-green is strongest when applied dry. Then it looks like a metallic green with violet-blue shadows.
There's a bit of blackening to this color, and…it's kind of thin. Reminds me of BareMinerals' Peacock, which is a lovely shade but ends up looking semisheer most times and works better as an effects layer, especially over dark bases.
This gold looks like it has faint green tones in it - a bit like the Meow Cosmetics' Rainbow colors. The shimmer finish is a rougher shimmer, not a metallic. It's a great color for a base shade - very pigmented! I can even see using this as a liner...
This is a good color to use to offset a darker brown or possibly a blackened navy. It's neutral with warm tones, and a pearl finish that can be buffed away without losing too much of the base color. It isn't my favorite color from BE, but it is a...
This is my least-favorite of the Art Vandal colors. It’s an attractive enough shade, but it’s semisheer. I had to finally add a third coat to get the desired opacity for my manicure this week. It is an interesting polish, with the duotone pearl finish that makes the...

The color combination in this kit wasn’t necessarily exciting: one brown, one brownish-purple, a purply-brown blush, and a berry-red lip. I love these colors, just not all together. There isn’t quite enough variation for me! I think that Heart’s Desire might be a combination of Heart and...
The main shade is beige…sort of. It has some green tones, and a faint red component to the satin finish. There's a lot going on in this color, and I love it! I can see how this would be less appealing to folks who can't wear, or don't like...
From Fyrinnae…a straight up pink. A cooler pink with some lavender tones and a nice even finish, and a very well pigmented pink…but. Pink. On the other hand - simple pink! From Fyrinnae! Their general quality of eyeshadow, in a pretty widely-desired eyeshadow shade.
