This color is a bit more on the sheer side. It isn’t totally sheer, like Dazzling Dance; but it took me more coats to get full opacity (and for the pink duochrome to really show well.) This shade has some similarities with Swanky Silk and Pink Cosmo, but theyâ€...
Second of three of Fyrinnae's new(ish-by-now) Exquisites colors that I got in full-size. These are attractive, but I personally am less fond of the spreadability of these when not foiled. I can get a similar color from some other eyeshadows I've gotten, but it will also apply nicely without...
I’ve been thrilled with these pencils since I first tried them out in mid-2014. They’ve got a great color selection, all-day staying power, and each pencil costs half of what Urban Decaycharges for one of their 24-7 eyeliner pencils. Sephora brand makeup has always been a hit-or-miss affair,...

Hot pink, just barely on the cool side, but it's definitely fuchsia. The color stains a bit, so even if you don't normally use eyeshadow primer, you'll need it under this or you'll be making several passes with the makeup remover to get all of the hot pink off your...
A non-duotone white from BareMinerals that actually has decent coverage? I may faint from shock. Seriously - Neptune, Venus, Ice Queen, Sun Goddess, Ecstasy…all are duotone (white with some color of iridescent interference shade) and while they have semi-decent color payoff and pigmentation, the plain whites generally are a...
