This bright green…loses a bit of color depth, unless applied over damp primer or cream shadow. Even then, it sheered out a bit. It's also not a shade that looks really good on me - a bit like the main-collection shade Juvenile - so even though this isn't one...
Simpler, neutral polish with microglass fleck for highlighting and visual texture.The polish tended to be just a tiny bit thin - two coats was almost completely opaque and even, but not quite. Three coats would have been better. This polish is definitely not thick enough to use for any...
When the Miracle Gel line came out, this was one of the first colors to catch my eye. It's a gorgeous greyed turquoise-aqua - a bit more greyed than Jaded. It almost looks like a bleached-wood beach house.
One of the original collections from Concrete Minerals, way back when it opened first on Etsy. I liked these, because 1) it gave people some ideas about how to pair up the shadows; and 2) it gave people a way to get multiple colors for a very slightly discounted price. (Very slightly...
I fell in love with Milani’s Shadow Eyez pencils at just the right time to snag these colors from Cherry Culture. I’m glad I got the chance! The Royal Purple shade in the regular lineup is nice enough, but I also wanted some deeper and softer purples. I...
Straightforward enough brown color with a shimmer that's not overwhelming - so even if you don't love shimmery eyeshadow, wearing this one won't make you look or feel too “glittery.” When applied dry, this color softens a bit, so if you're looking for the same brown color that appears in...
I have about a half dozen of these metallic eyeshadows, and they are the most consistent performers from Star Crushed Minerals. All of them apply fairly evenly, and they look equally solid wet or dry. This color looks vaguely similar to Aromaleigh's Astonish, but with a bit more gold tones...
An attractive-enough medium orange (or an orange-gold, depending on lighting) I don't see much colorshift in this shade. Fyrinnae's site even says that this color won't exhibit as much colorshift as many of its other Arcanes. The shift is there, but it's more of a color-depth shift (looks brighter orange-gold...
This is the much softer cousin-shade of the other red that I bought from this collection. The color softens quite a bit when applied, unless I layer it. On the upside, this is a great color as a blusher for me.
This past week I found the site Glittery Teacups, and she had a post about five things that made her happy that week. I've had trouble doing and posting makeup looks every week this year; and I've had trouble doing a "news roundup" every week, too. But this? Five things...
