BareMinerals’ Round the Clock Eyeliner in 8pm

I wish this one applied a bit better! Maybe it's because this pencil is older and the product's a bit dried out…but I had a heck of a time getting a nice line drawn. It swatched just fine, and I love that there's a black-brown liner (my choice for...

Urban Decay’s 24-7 Eye Pencil in Loaded

I like this color…I just wish that it applied more smoothly, with a cleaner, more even green top layer. Most of what applies is the undertones, which are nice and provide definition. But I wish there was more of the actual color in this. The deeper blue-green coordinates so...

Wet n Wild’s Megaslicks Balm Stain in Tangerine and Tribal

This color has long been out of circulation…but I'm glad that I managed to snag two of these. It's a great softer summer shade that's more pink than it appears. It definitely has coral tones to it, and it leans warmer, but it is not at all difficult for...

CND’s Vinylux Blue Rapture (162)

Aromaleigh v2.1’s Ignis Antiquita collection

I think this might have been the first collection release when the original owner took over major creative direction and formulation at Aromaleigh. I’m not a monstrous fan of the color palette…but the shadow quality got just a little closer to the Aromaleigh v1 shadows. (Hence the “v2.1"...

BareMinerals’ Nude Attitude kit

I like these colors individually. Just…put all together, it’s a bit too neutral/“no-makeup” a look for my tastes. The colors are all decent, but they don’t really show up - on pale-ish me.
