Sally Hansen’s Rhododendron (837)

Sally Hansen’s Rhododendron (837)

Posted on Wednesday, at

Yes, rose can be both not faded and still “autumnal.” It's a deeper rose, very dark but definitely no brick or brown undertones - something which isn't often seen outside of limited-edition collections (...and why is that??? I love this color!) Application is pretty good, but the formula is a...

Two greens…not my favorite shade combination ever, mostly because of Juvenile. (I love Swamped! It’s a great color on me.) The colors don’t coordinate too well, in my opinion, because one is warmer while the other is just slightly cool. But I’m betting that there are...

As soon as I saw this palette, I knew I had to have it! Deeper colors? Check. Jeweltone hues? Check. A good mix of pearl and shimmer…and no mattes (which Sleek isn’t so great at)? Check. It reminds me - just a bit - of the Sparkle and...

A good softer neutral, a pale cream-brown that leans just barely pinkish. It's a satin finish, no shimmer at all, so I'm not sure how well it would work as a shimmer-highlighter. On the other hand, if you're looking to lighten around your eyes and you have medium to fair...

I originally picked this color up because it was still available in the 10-gram jar. Then I got another 10-gram jar because this is such a great eyeshadow color for me. It's deep enough that it does show up, but not enough to make my eyes look even more deep-set....

A deeper red, close to neutral red - no overt tones, but it does almost lean cooler. Dry application shows more brown than red. This mica is marked as lip-safe, so if you've wanted a lipstick in this shade…now you've got the colorant.

Stila’s Waterproof Smudge Crayon in Dazzle

Stila’s Waterproof Smudge Crayon in Dazzle

Posted on Saturday, at

Attractive enough in pencil form…but it applies a bit thin. It is't uneven (thank goodness - many glitter-liners seem to have that problem, and this one doesn't!) but I do wish that the black was a bit more opaque. It would give more definition, and it would provide a...

Sephora’s Contour Eye Pencil in Tiramisu

Sephora’s Contour Eye Pencil in Tiramisu

Straightforward creme finish, fairly run-of-the-mill shade, -=really=- amazing application and performance. This or the black pencil are good “compare-to-other-lines” colors because just about every brand that sells eyeliner pencils has black and dark brown in the lineup. I get all-day (14+-hour) wear out of this liner pencil.
