BareMinerals’ Trudy face color

BareMinerals’ Trudy face color

Posted on Friday, at

A customer-created combination of Warmth, Glee, and True face colors. It doesn't look so great on me as a face color - not dark enough to work as a contour, I don't care to wear bronzer, and the wrong shade for any blush. But I have occasionally used it to...

Overall, I'm not totally fond of the lip creams. For one, the texture. It's a lip gloss, after all. I don't like the feel gloss, or gels, or anything else on my lips. For another, it's a gloss. It comes off really easily. Not quite as easily as a true...

Fyrinnae’s Arctic Fox

Fyrinnae’s Arctic Fox

Purple that's softened enough it can be comfortably worn by more people, even folks who really strongly prefer natural or nude eyeshadow; but pigmented enough that it doesn't disappear or fade into the background. This is an extremely solid, strong-performing color. (Unfortunately, it's discontinued. Dang it…)

Applies nicely enough dry, but I strongly prefer it foiled. The blue is stronger and the shimmer is there, but isn't the main thing that people see.

Meow Cosmetics’ Nightmare

Meow Cosmetics’ Nightmare

Posted on Wednesday, at

A rich, saturated green that lightens just slightly from how it appears in the pot. It can be darkened by putting it over a dark-colored base. This is almost deep enough to be used, quite easily, as a liner shade. If you're looking for a blackened green, check Deranged (from...

CND’s Vinylux Magenta Mischief (209)

Have you ever had a nail polish color that just…glowed from the inside? (Something that isn’t a holographic, shimmer, sparkle, glitter, or metallic finish?) This one does! It’s really breathtaking. I originally thought, oh, I might like that color a bit. It’s not totally purple, it...

Aromaleigh v2.1’s Diavoli collection

Aromaleigh v2.1’s Diavoli collection

Posted on Tuesday, at

This color palette looks a bit like an older Renaissance painting: some blues and greens and reds, but a bit age-browned. It isn’t a personal favorite - though, big huge plus, if people want to wear colors other than brown but are concerned about them appearing too vivid, these...

BareMinerals’ Goddess Collection kit

BareMinerals’ Goddess Collection kit

Posted on Tuesday, at

The first kit in the “Goddess” A-D series. This is a pretty nice color combination! A little on the softer side, and if you don’t look good in purples (neutral purples, but still…purples) this may not ever be one of your preferred combinations. But since I love all...

Aromaleigh v2’s Soirée

Aromaleigh v2’s Soirée

Posted on Monday, at

This is another one of those “contrast-colors hybrid sparkle” shadows that companies have tried…but that just don’t work for me. The sparkle particles don’t spread out evenly, they almost always look patchy (or they get blended away almost entirely), and what is an otherwise lovely base color...
