This is a bit dark and a bit too pigmented for me to wear as a blush. (Good news, though - deeper skintones will actually be able to wear this blush and see it! Which isn't the case with all BE blushes.) I can use this as a lip color...
Not as purple as it appears…while people have worked to vamp it up, or applied it over a darker lipstick to get a true purple lip, I like wearing this just as it is. It's a good color for me, and blotted, it's a medium-deep magenta that is just...
A nice deeper purple for folks who don't want a full, saturated violet - or want something very close to that, but non-staining. This is a rich color, similar to Emotion or Seance…but it isn't blackened. It's just a little bit softened. And there's no staining. You get the...
I picked this one up a while ago, and it's been sitting in the backlog waiting to be swatched… I have similar blues in my collection. Not one from every brand, but near-dupes. This is a little more aqua than Lady Liberty, and a little less “dirty” than Organza, a...
When the product photos came out, I thought that I might like this color a bit more than I thought I would. It looked like a very nice, soft orange-gold that would work well with my coloring. I do like the frost finish, and the color looks decent on meâ€...
This Fall 2014 collection includes some of my first “full-size” Vinylux purchases. Indigo Frock caught my attention fairly quick, as did Rose Brocade. The overall palette is richer, autumnal-ish saturated shades with one metallic accent. A few of the other shades aren’t personal favorites, but the formula is great. (Buying...
When these kits originally came out, I wasn’t too interested in this one. Attractive enough colors, but…I already owned the purple and the white, and didn’t want to get the kit for another brown-ish, and for a blush that, in all honesty, didn’t sound like it...
This is almost like a deeper, slightly redder version of Splendor. It's pigmented enough, and dark enough, that I can use it as a liner shade with a pink-buff shadow and a white-pink, and get a nice gradation of shade from lashline to just above the crease. (If I go...
I've seen other companies do something similar, but I still love seeing them. The pink shows up more when it's applied dry (of course) but the green iridescence does show up. In some ways this is almost a very 1980s color: Miami pink-ish, with green.
