Makeup Revolution × Disney Nightmare Before Christmas Eyeshadow Palette in Jack

I’m…still undecided about how I feel about this palette. The right side is more visually appealing to me than the left, but the left’s neutrals are more varied than most MUR palettes (even if some of them are very minimally pigmented.)

Aromaleigh v2.1’s Water Bear

A lot of subtle stuff going on in this purple. It has a greenish base, the metallic muted purple shimmer, and blue and gold microsparkles throughout. I prefer using this as an accent color or a liner - something where it doesn’t have to be blended much if at...

Kiko Cosmetics’ Long Lasting Stick Shadow in Coral (45)

This is a lovely color and has a nice shimmer. I can’t figure out if the uneven coverage is a feature or a bug: if it was laid down more strongly, would it be too much? Or would it be more saturated and stunning but not overwhelming? This is...

NYX Cosmetics’ Sweet Cheeks Creamy Powder Blush Glow in Risky Business

This is a very pigmented blush! It’s a little on the warm side, but not a complete terracotta - more like deep brick.

This is a multichrome…but a subtler one. The colorshifts seem to happen in an interference layer, and they definitely do move among all of the warm colors. I got excellent coverage and visible shift with two coats, so that’s why I didn’t try for a third to...

Zoya’s Vivian

Zoya’s Naturel 4 collection

With the exception of Marlowe, the microglitter shade, all of these looked like they had a corresponding shade from that collection. I picked up...

Femme Fatale Cosmetics’ Wishing Chair collection

I didn’t get many colors from this collection when it first came out. I bought precisely one color - Strange Old Shop - in mid-2019. Then in summer 2020, I went more than a bit nutso. (Our first Plague Year, surprise surprise.) There are several colors in this collection that...
