Fyrinnae’s Arcane Magic: Lady Glamis

At certain distances and angles, this color starts to show a pink finish. Most of the time, though, the base color is a blackened deep violet.

My Pretty Zombie’s New Age Dolls

This one definitely looks better when applied dry - or, at least, not when using water as the mixing medium. It blends, but it's got a bit of sootiness to it, so be careful blending it alongside really light shades. I like using it as a liner - I get...

Girly Bits’ I’m Your Venus

The copper base color is a little paler than I'd ideally love, but it almost looks like a softened brown - so it doesn't lean too orange. Application is really smooth, and there's plenty of holographic particles. None of that “scattered holographic” stuff… I don't own too many polishes from...

ColourPop’s Crème Gel Liner collection

I was interested when the promo images of this line started circulating. I saw a deep teal, a dark green, a deep maroon, and some other interesting-looking shades. I tried both their gel pots and their creme gel pencils, and I prefer the pencils. Just about every color is available...

BareMinerals’ Bare Treasures kit

Part of the 2009 holiday collection. All mini jars, which annoyed people a bit - they’re such requested colors, why not make them full sized?!?? (I already owned all but six of these colors when this collection came out.) As far as I’m aware, only Night Owl and Peacock...

Aromaleigh v2’s Cloudburst

Scaredy Cat Cosmetics’ Y So Sirius

Neutral brown that looks like it could be thinking about leaning warm…but really is more neutral. The pearl finish is pretty reflective, so softens the base color a bit. This gives me an interesting-looking liner shade: there's the definition, but I get an equal bit of brightening around my...

My Pretty Zombie’s mNg #1

There are three of these mNg colors - same base shade, slightly different interference shimmer. If the base pink shade works with your coloring, you can probably wear any of them! They're a little too pigmented to work as a blush, unless you're going for a near-theatrical-makeup look; but as...

BareMinerals’ Bare Paradise kit

I don’t know when this kit was released, but I think it was an outlet-kit: put together color pieces, sold at deep discount. I want to say that this was priced about USD$24, but that’s not a guarantee, that’s just going off of my memory. Mai Tai...

BareMinerals’ Customer Picks kit

I do like all of the colors in this kit. In fact, I didn’t buy the kit because I had the pieces already, aside from the lipgloss! Chocolate Fondue and Starlight pair nicely, though Heaven blush looks best on neutral to cool-toned skin.
