BareMinerals’ Hollywood Glamour kit

BareMinerals’ Hollywood Glamour kit

Posted on Sunday, at

I know this was available through QVC, because that’s where I found the pro image for this kit. I’m not entirely sure of its release date - there were no comments on this product page, so I couldn’t even guesstimate…other than “sometime before 2007.” I’m going...

BareMinerals’ Foiled Eye Tutorial kit

BareMinerals’ Foiled Eye Tutorial kit

Posted on Sunday, at

This is not my favorite of the “foiled” kits. The brush is not my favorite, and…two near-neutrals? Really? You could have so much more easily picked better colors to show off foiling. But no, you had to go with these two.

BareMinerals’ Round the Clock Eyeliner in 5pm

BareMinerals’ Round the Clock Eyeliner in 5pm

Posted on Saturday, at

Almost looks black, in some lights. This is a nice deep violet shade that goes on easily and, once it sets, stays in place. Like all of the RTC liners, this is essentially a gel in pencil form - so don't expect to be able to tightline or easily do...

Urban Decay’s 24-7 Eye Pencil in Freak

Urban Decay’s 24-7 Eye Pencil in Freak

Posted on Saturday, at

The color? Bright green. Definitely. However…it goes on very patchy, and it isn't easy to layer. (Even when I waited a few minutes to give the first layer time to set, I still couldn't get good, solid, opaque coverage with a second pass.)

Everyday Minerals’ Short Cake blush

Everyday Minerals’ Short Cake blush

Posted on Friday, at

There were two blushes in this collection: one warmer (this one) and one cooler (Cookie Sheet.) I like them both, and am glad I got an heir-and-a-spare before this kit was taken off the site! (EDM's eyeshadows…were kind of hit and miss. Their blushes were uniformly good-to-very-good, though.)

Wet n Wild’s Megaslicks Balm Stain in Lady and the Vamp

Wet n Wild’s Megaslicks Balm Stain in Lady and the Vamp

Posted on Friday, at

This is a creme finish…sort of. There's scattered gold shimmer in it which is only really visible extremely close up. It's a good color, it stains pretty well but it does fade after a few hours and touch-ups give it back its vibrancy.

BareMinerals’ Velvet Fog

BareMinerals’ Velvet Fog

Posted on Thursday, at

This is one of the few shades in this collection where the “velvet” finish doesn't overwhelm the color. Velvet Fog is a nice grey, good color payoff. It leans just a bit cool, so this won't work as a highlighter shade for most people who can and do use lighter...

Silk Naturals’ Beach Bum Lilac

Silk Naturals’ Beach Bum Lilac

Posted on Thursday, at

This is purple. Well…it is when compared to Beach Bum Pink. By itself, it looks like it could be a mauved pink or a mauved lilac. The three colors in this collection were intended to be multipurpose. Any of the colors could be an eyeshadow, a blush/contour, or...

Pretty on the go: my travel makeup bag

Pretty on the go: my travel makeup bag

Posted on Wednesday, at

Once I developed a real a skincare routine (aside from “wash face with whatever soap happens to be available” and “remove makeup at night”), it seemed like the biggest items packed are for skincare and cleansing! I haven't always had the easiest time finding travel-sizes of my Olay serum or...

CND’s Vinylux Rubble (144)

CND’s Vinylux Rubble (144)

Posted on Wednesday, at

This looks brown, but there are definite ashy tones to it - hence my “taupe” description. The coverage isn’t as even as many other Vinylux polishes. While the two coats is full coverage, and no bald spots…you can spot thinner areas in all of my manicure photos. A...
