This is a lighter pink, but it's definitely not pale or semi-sheer. There's really solid color payoff in this one. (I'd love to see this swatched on deeper skintones - I think it would show up very well!) My one and only gripe with this color is its consistency. It...
I have no information about the original release date or cost for this kit, but since it’s four eyeshadows I feel safe in guessing that it was $38/39 range. This was another “name-theme” kit, so the colors weren’t chosen for their complementary natures…though these four colors do work...
I got heavily into BE a few months after this kit debuted…which probably explains why I was able to snag these pieces relatively easily off of Ebay. Chenille and Shantung were part of the regular line at that point. I can’t recall if Cashmere was or not, but...
I really like the Round the Clock liners from BE! That said, this is one of my least favorite shades. It isn't because it's gold…it's because it's such a very pale shade of gold. Not quite a white-gold, but very close. It's a metallic finish, so that helps brighten;...
Super-dark blue that leans just barely teal, with very scattered pearl highlights.
Yep. It's another purple face color…but unlike so many of the purples that I've featured as face colors, this really doesn't work too well as a blush on me. It's a bit too smoky, a bit too greyed. It works (sort of) as a lighter, cooler contouring shade. Sort...
This is a VERY soft color. Almost no color at all, just a pink-tinged nearly-sheer layer of slight milkiness with multicolored microshimmer. If that's what you're looking for - a super-light pink layer of gloss/shimmer - then you're in luck! Well…maybe you're in luck. This color was exclusive...
This was, as far as I can tell, an extremely limited-edition shade. It's a brownish-red that softens a bit from how it looks in the pot, but actually leans a little more red. The pearl finish is nice enough - softens the shade without washing it out too much -...
I have a few similar colors…but not many. Which is odd, because this shade looks good on me, adds a little depth without too much shadowing, and complements my eye color very nicely! Then again, it probably isn't a shade that lots of other people reach for habitually -...
The color is nice, a softer pink that leans just barely toward the beige end…but the formula! It’s so disappointing. The first manicure I did with this polish, I thought: well, maybe my nails just need some TLC. So I buffed and polished my nails, wiped them with...
