BareMinerals’ Eco Chic kit

Technically, I missed out on this kit. I didn’t start buying BE until late in 2007, and wasn’t really buying much until summer of 2008…by which time this kit may have no longer been available. The colors themselves were all shades that were available for individual purchase at one...

Aromaleigh v1’s Blueshift

TKB Trading’s Matte Yellow Pop

Black Rose Minerals’ Scarab

I bought this a few years ago, when I was still trying out Black Rose Minerals and before all their shipping and customer-service troubles began. Scarab is similar to MAC's Blue Brown pigment, but Scarab's base color is a little ashier, and the aqua duotone top layer is more dense.

BareMinerals’ Honor

The base color looks like a redder, lighter version of Aromaleigh's Eos. Honor is a little less saturated than Eos, and Honor can lean more orange or more pink depending on what it's applied over, and how it's applied: wet or dry. Honor was the “pink” color in Storybook Romance,...

BareMinerals’ Pure Whimsy kit

Not my favorite color kit ever: the shades were all pastels, though at least they weren’t all whisper-soft pastels. And pink. LOTS of pink! The individual pieces are okay, but in combination…well, maybe good for a very young person, or a person who doesn’t want lots of...

Maybelline’s Nude Pink Color Tattoo cream shadow

I managed to snag one of these off of Ebay. This was the most difficult of these Color Tattoos to get ahold of!! Matte Brown and Just Beige were both relatively easy to find, once they began showing up in stores. The Nude Pink ones were the first to run...

ColourPop’s Crème Gel Liner in DTLA

Maybe a little tiny bit brighter than I thought it would be; but still a very nice, deeper navy. This wasn't my first gel liner from ColourPop - that was the three shades from the Fauncy kit - but this was in my second CP order. It goes on very...
