Scaredy Cat Cosmetics’ Hithaeglir

Zoya’s Wendy

Color Club’s Super Saturday Teal

I love this blue! I just wish the formula were a little better. Application was fairly smooth, for the most part; but it was just a tiny bit on the thicker side, and it took a long time to cure. (This is actually my second attempt - my first, I...

LaurEss’ Apparition

You know how lots of eyeshadows are marked as duochrome but maybe only about half of them are? (They're actually duotone, which is one base color and a top-layer color, usually an iridescent shade.) I bought this shadow years and years ago, when Sassy Minerals was still in business and...

BareMinerals’ Sugared Bronze

Concrete Minerals’ Altar of Roses

Not as saturated a red as Hearts, but it's about the same shade of red. This might work as a blush on deep skintones, or as a lip color. Other eyeshadow vendors have red eyeshadows, but either they end up applying a lot softer (...bareMinerals…) or they're a brighter, almost...
