Meow Cosmetics’ Unclad

Meow Cosmetics’ Unclad

Posted on Monday, at

I describe - and see - this color as a slightly faded “harvest gold”, but it isn't that faded. It's just not quite as deep as some versions of Harvest Gold that I remember. (Yes, I grew up in the 70s. Yes, we had harvest-gold appliances.) The satin finish is...

My Pretty Zombie’s In Rust

My Pretty Zombie’s In Rust

Posted on Monday, at

About the same color depth as a younger pumpkin - not one that's all Halloween-ready, with a mellowed orange, but not one that's only just achieved the “Look Ma No More Green” shade either. (Shut up, work with me.) I wouldn't call this a “rust orange”, but there's definitely a...

Silk Naturals’ Status

Silk Naturals’ Status

Posted on Monday, at

Status is such a great pink. At least, I think so: a taupe-ish mauve-ish kind of pink. A more elegant-looking, more mature rose that's refined without being dusty. There's a very slight shimmer, but it's a silvery rather than being green or blue (like Morgana Cryptoria's LE 108, which is very...

Milani Cosmetics’ Shadow Eyez pencil in Romantic Violet

When I initially swatched this color, I thought that I'd have some problems with it being just a little patchy. (You can see, in the photo, how my skin shows through the liner-swatch on my arm.) Once I applied it to my lid, though, the patchiness was far less apparent,...

Urban Decay’s 24-7 Eye Pencil in Rockstar

Urban Decay’s 24-7 Eye Pencil in Rockstar

Posted on Saturday, at

It's supposed to be a shimmer-ish finish, but I don't see too much of that. The color is also more subtle on the lashline, unless you go over it a few times. Good for effects, but not the best choice if you want definition.

Shiro Cosmetics’ Potion blush

Shiro Cosmetics’ Potion blush

Posted on Friday, at

Definitely a cooler pink. Not as cool as You're Making Me blush - if you like softer berry shades, closer to strawberry than raspberry, this may be an excellent choice for you. This blush is very similar to Meow's Tease blush - but Potion is a bit cooler and just...

Concrete Minerals’ Glamourpuss lip tint

Concrete Minerals’ Glamourpuss lip tint

Posted on Friday, at

If you saw Revlon’s Darling balmstain and thought, “Yeah…purples!” then you probably thought the same thing when you saw Concrete Minerals’ Glamourpuss. This is a newer shade, added…sometime in 2014? Or late 2013? I’m not exactly sure when…but this and Dreamboat were not part of the original...

Beauty from the Earth’s Kastra

Beauty from the Earth’s Kastra

Posted on Thursday, at

Almost a “Concord-grape” purple, right down to the bluish shine. The color payoff is good, if a little less deep than one might expect looking at the potted shadow.
