This is a fairly large collection of brushes. You do get some duplicate brushes, and that’s intentional - also kind of nice, as I prefer using clean brushes for every color when I’m applying my eyeshadow. The brushes seem…shrunken. The handles are shorter than I’m used...
The vendor text about this color says that it’s a blue. I…don’t see the blue? (I really really did want that blue-with-hints-of-purple-and-green with the pink interference shift.) Aside from this color not matching up to the vendor text, it applies well and blends quite nicely. It’s...
This doesn’t work as a face color for me. The matte version might work as a super-subtle contour shade…but it could easily look like dirt rather than bronzer, because it is such a light color. The glow version works as an eyeshadow, and that’s how I’ll...
A greyed light blue that’s not quite “slate”, but is still definitely muted with grey tones. I have other light blue polishes - with and without some kind of duotone shimmer or interference shift - but no muted light blues. Sea Spray from China Glaze is a lighter blue...
When the Ariel palette was released, I was the colors appealed to me: the hues, the saturation, and the balance between neutrals and the more colorful shades. The earliest reviews of this palette mentioned its improved quality versus the first palettes (Cinderella and Belle) in this series, that I decided...

The “princess” collections (Fairy Tale books?) all have a face-and-eye palette, a standalone highlighter, and a lip topper. I was only interested in the palettes, and wasn’t interested in all of them. The first two out, Cinderella and...
I chose to buy this color because I wanted to see how it stacked up against the metallic reds that I’ve gotten from BE, TSS, Meow, and other vendors. It’s warmer than most of the similar shades that I have, and just a tiny bit lighter. It applies...
One of the nicer charcoal liners I’ve gotten. It’s charcoal, not grey - I love grey liners too, but those are more smoke or dove-colored. This one’s definitely charcoal. It gives me starker definition without being a full-on black eyeliner, and it’s got a nice shimmer...
