Fyrinnae’s Enrapture blush

Medium rose-pink, leans just a little cool…and, like all the Fyrinnae blushes, is pigmented as all get out. Use a very light hand to get a sheer wash of color. (Or go for broke and use it as an eye color. It's a lovely shade, satin finish, widely scattered...

Rimmel’s Lasting Finish Matte lipstick in 110

This color was much more orange than I had anticipated. It isn't a shade that really looks good on me. The application is straightforward enough, it isn't too drying, but it does show any and all imperfections and really magnifies dry skin.

Shiro Cosmetics’ Who Needs Reasons?

BareMinerals’ Thoughtful

Very soft green-leaning blue. This color is semi-sheer, and a bit powdery. It's not as sheer as Faith, but…yeah. Very sheer.

It's got nice depth. I wish that it didn't show brushstrokes, but with the foil finish the brushstrokes don't...

Shiro Cosmetics’ Marauders, Mugwumps and Muggles collection

BareMinerals’ Eye Want, Eye Need kit

One of the “clean-out-the-inventory” assembled kits that BE had available - very briefly - during one of the 2015 holiday sales. Most of these colors had previously been available for individual purchase, but Exotic Pearl had only ever appeared in kits. At $16 for seven full-size items, this one sold out fast�...
