‘Tis the night before Christmas, and all through the house<br />Not a kitty is stirring, because this afternoon I spent hours dragging their favorite shoe-string and they’re exhausted.
A slightly heathered deeper green with some red and gold shimmer/sparkle. The base color is less intense and deeper than Twinkling Lights (the green-base/red-shimmer color that first got me to try Aromaleigh) and to my mind, that makes this color a bit more wearable. I can see using...
Very similar to Liquid Gold, from Sally Hansen’s Colorfoils collection: a slightly aged gold metallic with (dammit!!) a little bit of streakiness. (I don’t know if that’s due to the formula, or if a better job of shaking/mixing the polish before applying will take care of...
I chose on my personal scents based on what I like and am willing to pay for regularly. (I'm not all that keen on paying $60+ for a bottle of perfume…mostly because most perfumes that I actually like are either far too strong, or fade away too quickly. After a...
I forget why I initially picked up one of these eyeliners - I think it may have been Highlight, the pink-pearl shade. These pencils are more on the expensive side for drugstore pencils, but they apply as easily as the best UD 24/7 pencils. The collection is small, but the shade...
There have been two of these kits thus far. Both kits have a lip stick or pencil, and a lip gloss or polish. They’re a good way to try out the various lines: you’re paying slightly less than you would pay for one full-size item, and you’re...
Makes a great “neutral” with a subtle flash of color. The pearl finish means that it isn't the easiest shade to use as a highlighter…but it does work that way. Thankfully it's not such a reflective pearl that, when I do wear it as an all-over shade, I don't...
I love finding intense red eyeshadows! Not orange-red, not reddish brown, but RED. There seem to be more than there used to be; but it's still always a happy surprise when I stumble across them. I like using this on my outer lid, or along my lash line. This can...
BareMinerals/Bare Escentuals “radiances” were my first experience with something that was supposed to be a glow powder. Some of them worked for me in their “intended” niche, others I made use of in other ways. Bare Radiance is too dark for my preferences, as a facial powder. On my...
