BareMinerals’ Things That Make You Glow kit

BareMinerals’ Things That Make You Glow kit

Posted on Tuesday, at

There are a whole lot of repromotes in this kit - like, basically everything. A few are colors that have been out for less than half a year, many others were LE shades a year or two ago, some are from the regular line. Not a great choice for the...

Meow Cosmetics’ Aurora collection

Meow Cosmetics’ Aurora collection

Posted on Tuesday, at

Sold as sparkly brow highlighters or eyeshadow washes, these are perhaps a bit too dense to use as glow powders…though, when compared to some of the other Wildcats, they’re not quite that opaque. Using a soft-focus face brush or another similar brush spreads the glitter out enough that...

BBAC 2014, Day 2: EoTD with Sleek’s Bohemian i-Divine palette

BBAC 2014, Day 2: EoTD with Sleek’s Bohemian i-Divine palette

Posted on Monday, at

The Bohemian palette was released before Sleek started giving names to the eyeshadows in their i-Divines, so just about everyone uses a different system of naming them, so if this gets a little difficult to follow, you can doublecheck my review with photographs to see exactly which color I'm talking...

My Pretty Zombie’s Noxious Agents

My Pretty Zombie’s Noxious Agents

Posted on Monday, at

A muted beige-gold base color with…green? Blue? shimmer highlights. Or possibly both. Depending on lighting and surrounding colors this can lean more to a pale gold-brown or a medium-light browned gold. The individual components - the gold/brown base shade, the blue-green shimmer highlights - both work on me...

Shiro Cosmetics’ I Tried

Shiro Cosmetics’ I Tried

Posted on Monday, at

A nice, near-neutral - kind of reminds me of Exposed from Meow’s Stripped, but this is a slightly softer finish and has more pink in it. This is closer to neutral than Exposed is, so even if you cannot wear orange eyeshadows at all, you may want to give...

Fyrinnae’s Exquisites: Breathtaking

Fyrinnae’s Exquisites: Breathtaking

Posted on Monday, at

One of the least sheer of the five initial-release Exquisites, this is similar to MAC's Helium pigment, but with a slightly richer base color. Dry application is a bit…mmm…different than older Fyrinnae colors. It tends to not want to apply evenly, whether patting, stippling, or (and I tried...

BBAC 2014, Day 1: EoTD with Sleek’s Arabian Nights i-Divine palette

Posted on Sunday, at

First up is Sleek's Arabian Nights: richer jeweltone and smokey shades with two softer “neutral/highlight” colors to balance the overall palette. This is limited-edition, but <strike>is still available for sale through Sleek's website</strike>well…it was, about two weeks ago. It's currently marked “Out of...

BBAC 2014: Meet Danielle

Posted on Sunday, at

How long have you been blogging? What prompted you to start a beauty/lifestyle blog? I've been blogging a little over 5 years. I started blogging to chronicle my journey to finding my own sense of personal style. At 36, I found myself in a bit of a style rut.

L’Oréal’s Infallible Gel Lacquer Liner in Navy

L’Oréal’s Infallible Gel Lacquer Liner in Navy

Posted on Saturday, at

Straightforward color that you can get from any of several lines…but with very clean application and really good staying power. I am not thrilled with any of the colors in L’Oréal's Infallible Gel Liner collection, but they all do apply very smoothly and last all day. They're...
