December is a good month to reflect on the past year, plan ahead for the year to come, and just…kind of take inventory. Your favorite new products, or new tricks you learned. That neat community you stumbled onto. The grand plans you had this time last year (did any...
The multicolored sparkle-highlights are pretty scattered. And I think they're more a function of the finish, than actual microparticles. But…I don't know. I could be wrong. The swatch is a macro shot, and I can sort of see faint highlights on the lid. But if it is microparticles, they're...
Not my favorite liner…but not my least favorite, either. The glitter application is a bit on the spottier side, in that it isn't a solid coat of glitter topcoat. But with the underlying blackening being even (even if it's ‘evenly semi-opaque') you get softer definition and the glitter highlights....
This shade makes a pretty good “neutral” red. It's a nice autumnal blush for people who really can't wear blushes that lean coral, orange, or gold. The blush applies a little softer than it appears in the pot, but at least that means that paler folks won't have to worry...
I thought this color might be cooler than it actually is. When I apply it - either a swatch on my hand, or on my lips - the color goes kind of brick-ish red. It leans far warmer than the bullet, or even the name, implies. That's a little bit...
Very similar to SCC's Peacock Blood, but this one leans just slightly warmer. Both blend nicely into another color, but are less easy to blend away to a gradient fade.
The base shade almost looks muted. It's not a clear lilac, not a “candied” shade. It works great as a more colorful “office” shade for me, because of the slight heathering and my own cooler undertones. This one applies well and does not fade. If you want something that leans...
The eyeshadows are both lovely shades - Enraptured is like Ta Dah with a different finish. The lip colors…not my personal favorite shades, though the quality is good. If you love warmer neutral lip colors (both are tans that lean just barely orange-gold), these will work very well for...
I orignally thought these were going to be simple, straightforward metallic blue. I’m glad I wasn’t totally accurate! I like foil-finish polishes. The finish is uneven, so minor imperfections in either the manicure or the nail are washed out in the visual noise. Metallics can be gorgeous, but...
