ColourPop’s Crème Gel Liner in Prance

BareMinerals’ Exquisite Radiance glow powder

The eyeshadow Exquisite is a bit too warm to work well on me. It's also semisheer, unless I really pack it on. Seeing it in a glow powder, though…this is workable. The warmth is still a factor, but I can wear this as a layer over a blush and...

Swatching all the new Buxom lip polishes - so you don’t have to

I love the Buxom lip polishes. I have ever since I tried my first one. I liked many of the kit-exclusives from the previous lineup and was hopeful when the collection was revamped - but it looks like not all of them made the cut. Additionally, lots of the previous...

Rimmel’s Lasting Finish Matte lipstick in 107

This is such a gorgeous color! This is the color I reach for when I want a killer red lipstick. It's the perfect “kick-ass red” shade for me. There are only five (in some places, only four) of these shades that are still available, and this is one of them.

Aromaleigh v2’s Bellatrix

Fyrinnae’s Fyre and Ice

This color was part of the line when I first started looking at Fyrinnae in 2008. I don't know exactly when it was introduced, though. It works best on me as a liner. It does smoke out nicely, and blends into even lighter colors very smoothly. (Not all blackened eyeshadows blend...

Sparklecrack Central’s Blue Sun

Mixed up because I'm a Browncoat, and just HAD to have an eyeshadow called “Blue Sun.” It's BE's Blue Moon and Sun Goddess, mixed in equal parts. Blue Moon is still available for individual purchase, but Sun Goddess is not. The duotone is a little less intense than on standalone...

Shiro Cosmetics’ Sepulchre by the Sea

I like getting ahold of the “exclusives” that Shiro and Femme Fatale make for sale through each others' storefronts. It costs a bit more for me to order from Australia, but with a large enough order of Femme Fatale items (which may be out, or may not be carried by...

LaurEss’ Shangri La

Very soft pearl finish, but it does diminish the base shade a little. Good pigmentation and coverage, and the color doesn't start to fade out after a few hours. It blends very easily.

CND’s Vinylux Locket Love (128)

I have other metallic golds that are this shade, or close (though most are brassier, or deeper, or paler.) I don’t have any gold foils that are this shade. I like CND’s foil-finish polishes, and they’re adding more all the time - the majority are still creme-finish,...
