Makeup Revolution’s Mermaids vs Unicorns Redemption palette

I knew I’d be interested in this palette as soon as I spotted it on the Makeup Revolution site. Lots of cooler colors - which I like - but enough other shades that it’s possible to build daily looks using just these colors. These colors go on fairly...

BareMinerals’ On Cloud Nine kit

This was one of the first kits that I bought from QVC. (I can’t believe that I’m only just now discovering that it’s missing from my site!) The colors coordinate well enough, though they are all on the lighter/brighter side of the spectrum. I don’t...

Aromaleigh v2’s Codes and Ciphers

TKB Trading’s Libra Blues

LaurEss’ Bittersweet Irony

I bought this color long ago, to see if it might possibly be a dupe for Aromaleigh v1's Cyanide Sorrow (which sold out before I could buy more than a sample baggie.) Bittersweet Irony is simlar to Cyanide Sorrow, only in that they are both non-cool eyeshadows with a...

First Impressions: ColourPop’s Crème Gel Liners

I started out with a kit - Fauncy - that contained both types of liner. (I would have been happier if it had actually contained the colors that were shown in the photo…but that's another story.) Once I saw how both the gel pots and the gel liners performed,...

BareMinerals’ VIP 100% Pure Class kit

BareMinerals’ Rosy Outlook kit

When this kit hit QVC for BE’s 11th anniversary, it sold out FAST. I think that it was so popular because a) it had no browns; and b) for once it was dominated by cooler colors. (Yes, cooler. The pink was a neutral-warm-ish pink, and Glee and Wonder are...

Physician’s Formula Cream GelLiner in GlamHazel Lavender

An attractive enough shade that does not like going on evenly. If I want a subtle all-over shade that isn't nude, this works great. I kind of wish that it cooperated better, because it's a lovely, elegant shade! All of these “glam” cream gel liners act the same, though: they...
