This color tends to lose just a little bit of intensity when applied - it doesn't drop in opacity, just in brilliance. This is from TKB's replacement to the previous, now-discontinued “Pops” colors, and these are mixed with ingredients to help with application and adhesion, so not only are they...
I didn't think that I'd care for this color much, based on vendor photos. Once there was a good in-action/on-the-lid photo, though…I saw more of the metallic, and knew I had to pick this one up. This is almost an “oiled brass”. It looks like it might have...
Gemini was one of the "horoscope" shades released (never was officially marked or marketed as a collection, and I think there were only nine shades instead of twelve; but still...this was one of them.) I got a big bag of this color a few years ago, before it was.....
When the five “leather” Color Tattoos came out, I got Dramatic Black last. I don't use black cream shadow much (at all), and I have a black gel liner, so I'm good. I don't need this color. I was wrong.
Yellow eyeliner is another thing I would not have gone anywhere near, four years ago. It isn't something that I care to wear every day, but on warmer days (or days when I just really really WANT it to be warmer) it's something that looks brighter without looking too bright...
I don't know that I would have tried out this liner if it hadn't been part of the Ten Shades of Samba kit - just because, on me, I would have thought it would be almost invisible, so kind of pointless to wear. It's not much in the way of...
This is a bit too melon-toned for me. It doesn't show up much, and when it does (usually when I apply it heavily) it's not a shade that works well on me. For people who look good in coral and melon tones, this is a pretty decent “soft neutral” blush.
A cult favorite shade from Kat Von D's lip color lines…and I'm just learning about it now? (Yeah, well…that's what happens when you rarely buy prestige-brand lipstick, and don't have anything else from Kat Von D at all.) This is a fantastic neutral shade on me. Lolita is...
This is…barely a cool grey. The dry application leans a lot closer to neutral grey, almost a taupe.
A more overtly purple version of My Pretty Zombie's Goth Mary Poppins, but with out the color-shifting aspects or the blackened base. This is a blue-violet, but definitely leans more purple. If you don't use a sealant with this, you may be sorry. It isn't as rabid a sparklebomb as...
