This almost verges on being a radiance. The gold shimmer is more apparent in this than in many other BE blushes, but since it harmonizes so well with the base color it doesn't look like a pixie sneezed on you. It's really good for pale-to-medium skintones, and neutral-ish (no really...
This is a really great color for me! Not quite a hot pink, but close; a little cooler; and a near-satin finish with just a slight amount of shine. I just wish that it stayed in place a little longer. This is a bit cooler and a little deeper than...
With a color name like this - “cat lover” - it was almost a guarantee that I'd pick this shade up, even if I have more than enough purple eyeshadows. The finish is halfway between satin and pearl - just a little bit more reflectiveness than a straight satin. This...
A midweight blue, almost a heathered lapis. It's a good bolder blue for folks who can't easily wear cooler shadows, or for people who still aren't comfortable wearing blue eyeshadow (...I know you're out there…)
A great summery shade, released with about six other blue nail polishes (which all became part of the regular CSM lineup.) The formula on this was very good - almost a single-coat manicure, but not quite (especially on my uneven, messed-up thumbnails.)
Not my favorite polish…but not my least favorite, either. The color isn’t quite to my liking, but the formula is just fine. I can use this polish for nail art, stamping or dotting. Or possibly something two-toned over a purple that I do like. (This shade is a...
Twelve vivid, saturated colors, though there are a few neutral-ish shades in the palette. This is great to punch up other looks, but I didn’t have the easiest time creating a look using only the colors in this palette (well…not one that I was terribly happy with, at...
This was one of the first BE kits that I purchased. (Actually, I think it was -=the=- first BE kit I purchased.) At that time I didn’t realize that it contained a very hard-to-find color; I just liked the combination of items and the lower per-price cost....
There's gold shimmer, but the color doesn't really seem to lean too gold. A little bit, but not much. The color payoff is good, and it blends well. It's a fairly good eyeshadow, even if it isn't all that exciting or dramatic.
Looks like an orange-red in the pot, but goes on metallic-gold with an orange-red base. The gold can be buffed away…but it really looks interesting, so generally I don't. I like using this as a liner over a dark brown cream or gel liner, because it accentuates the orange...
