BareMinerals’ Big and Bright eyeliner in Charbronze

BareMinerals’ Big and Bright eyeliner in Charbronze

Posted on Saturday, at

A different take on “brown eyeliner” - slightly blackened, and very much does look like oiled bronze. It isn't my favorite shade, since it applies a bit thin; but I do love finding brown-black eyeliner (or mascara!!) Brown, black, those are everywhere. Not quite so many lines include a blackened-brown,...

BareMinerals’ Chestnut blush

BareMinerals’ Chestnut blush

Posted on Friday, at

If not for <strike>those pesky kids</strike>that gold shimmer, I could use this as a lighter contouring shade. As it is, I'm not personally fond of brown blushes on me, even if they are nicely neutral and have an attractive gold shimmer. I can use this...

NYX Cosmetics’ Jumbo Lip Pencil in Pink Brown

NYX Cosmetics’ Jumbo Lip Pencil in Pink Brown

Posted on Friday, at

Not sure where the “brown” comes into play for this color…it's a corally pink that somehow manages to stay right on the edge of starting to lean orange, but never turns orange. (That's impressive.) The color looks best on me in the warmer months - this isn't really an...

Fyrinnae’s Herbivore

Fyrinnae’s Herbivore

Posted on Thursday, at

Not a totally unique color, but not something I've seen from the majority of indie vendors. Femme Fatale makes a similar shade that I also bought. They are both very close in terms of base shade and overall effects. I'd say that Fyrinnae's is just slightly softer, when I apply...

Femme Fatale Cosmetics’ Glasswater

Can almost look like an icy blue…until the light hits it. Similar to Crystal Guardian, but with a slightly paler blue base.

CND’s Vinylux Scarlet Letter (145)

CND’s Vinylux Scarlet Letter (145)

Posted on Wednesday, at

The quintessential shade of “red” nail polish that’s available in nearly every line. On the downside…not unique. On the upside…it’s gorgeous, and in a gel-hybrid formula so that red-polish-fans can get their fix.

Meow Cosmetics’ Dark Dreams collection

Meow Cosmetics’ Dark Dreams collection

Posted on Tuesday, at

All of the colors in this collection are toward the deeper, more saturated side of the spectrum. The shades are mostly cooler colors with a few neutral-ish shades. It’s similar to last year’s Something Wicked collection, in terms of color depth; but there were more greens/browns/golds...

BareMinerals’ Gorgeous Eyes Unlocked kit

BareMinerals’ Gorgeous Eyes Unlocked kit

Posted on Tuesday, at

This was the first of the 2015 holiday kits that I spotted, shortly after Labor Day - for non-US-ians: 2nd week of September. I was immediately interested because a) it was a loose-powder kit; and b) more than half of the colors were new. (Actually, of the four repromoted colors, two...

Shiro Cosmetics’ Still Not a Planet

Shiro Cosmetics’ Still Not a Planet

Posted on Monday, at

This and its sibling-color, The Largest Moon of Still Not A Planet, are both available in the Sandbox collection - but they were the colors of the month for August 2015. This looks quite a lot like TKB Trading’s Reflection, from its Metalite collection. It’s possible that this is...

Femme Fatale Cosmetics’ Hardly Human

Femme Fatale Cosmetics’ Hardly Human

Posted on Monday, at

Whether I apply this wet or dry, the blue interference-shimmer always comes to the forefront. The base color makes a good background for this layer - and the end result looks like a more opaque version of Sephora's long-discontinued Flashy Mauve eyeliner pencil.
