Nob Hill and Queen Phyllis were both part of the regular line, and available for individual purchase, for quite a while. They just aren’t flashy colors, didn’t show up too often in kits, and people overlooked them. (Including me.)
Au Natural and Soft Grey were both repromotes, as was Irresistible, but Siren was introduced in this kit. The color wasn’t as faint as I feared it might be, but it still isn’t one that I reach for often. I love Irresistible blush, though, so a chance to...
This is a great base color or liner. It's easy to apply, it goes on evenly and it sets in half a minute or so. The color may not precisely be inspired, and if you're looking for “patent-leather black” this might not work for you…but it's a solid black...
The color is pretty, but this one…just doesn't apply well at all. I got a patchy, semisheer thing. Grab any of the other Rimmel liners, and try a different line for a good solid purple. I love many of the Rimmel ScandalEyes pencils, but this particular shade is fairly...
A faded-wine purple shade - not something that everyone can wear, but for those of us with cool undertones, it's a fantastic color. It has enough depth that it's not invisible, but not enough depth that it can be used to contour (not even on the palest cooler skintones.) It...
How did I get this far along without swatching and showcasing Marissa?? I fell in love with this color when I bought it as a single off of Ebay. I had, up until that point, been completely uninterested in the Swinger Girls kit. It was more soft shades and near-nudes,...
A softer shade - not quite a neutral, but close. It wouldn't look too out of place in Meow Cosmetics' Stripped or Castaway collections, as long as the finish were different I like everything about this shadow - the base color that leans just slightly warm, the shimmer finish that...
The blue is a bit thin in this color, and the shadow seems to have more of the blackening than the actual colorant. (Compare this with BFTE's Nebula, which is a deeper, unmistakeably teal shadow.) The shade is pretty, but the resulting application isn't my personal favorite. On me, it...
Looks like a blue-purple, or a slate-blue, depending on lighting and surrounding shades.
