BareMinerals’ Atomic Plume

BareMinerals’ Atomic Plume

Posted on Sunday, at

Warm-ish figgy brown base color with a medium-strong teal-green duotone top coat. If BFTE's Grape Leaves had a smoother, less heavy effects top coat, it might be Atomic Plume. This (along with other similiar shades like Chameleon Fine) makes a surprisingly good liner shade: I do have to apply the...

It looks like it's going to be a bit warmer - or at least, a bit more neutral - than it actually applies. The sparkle is visible, but not so heavy that it's going to yield a lot of fallout. Still, if you're at all concerned…best use a sealant.

Muted, almost taupey or “muddy.” this is definitely a neutral shade. I am not as easily able to wear it because it's on the warmer side of things; but if I pair it with deep neutrals, and possibly another deeper warm shade, I can almost pull it off. Coverage is...

BareMinerals’ Aglow

BareMinerals’ Aglow

Fairly straightforward soft pink with a satin-pearl finish. This one has pretty solid coverage, and is a bit brighter than Cultured Pearl.

Maybelline’s Deep Forest Color Tattoo cream shadow

This wasn't my favorite shade of the Fall-2014-released “Leather” color tattoos…I would have liked it to be just a tiny bit deeper, a little closer to “dusty moss” than “sage”. That said, it is a nice green. It's also a good texture! Unlike the metallics, which applied a...

NYX Cosmetics’ Jumbo Eye Pencil in Lime

NYX Cosmetics’ Jumbo Eye Pencil in Lime

Posted on Saturday, at

I swatched this a while ago…and forgot about it. It's a metallic light green, almost a pale olive. The coverage could be better, and I kind of wish the color was a bit deeper. Once it's in place, it looks okay, but the metallic finish is the first bit...

Sephora’s Contour Eye Pencil in Summer Cruise

Sephora’s Contour Eye Pencil in Summer Cruise

Posted on Saturday, at

Many eye pencil collections have done a version of this metallic bright-blue, so I suppose it made sense to include it in this collection's lineup. I don't see a huge difference from the other bright-blue pencils I have (from UD, from NYX, from Jordana…) Still, if you do love this...

Sally Hansen’s Cobalt Chrome colorfoil

Sally Hansen’s Cobalt Chrome colorfoil

Gorgeous almost-turquoise metallic blue polish that applies smoothly…well, except for a tiny bit of frost-finish-like streakiness. It's much smoother than China Glaze's Adore, and is a deeper, more vivid blue to boot.

elf’s Joy mineral blush

elf’s Joy mineral blush

Posted on Friday, at

Very soft, neutral color with a near-invisible finish. Good for blending, or softening darker blush shades as an “effect layer” but, for me and my skintone, not much else. It reminds me a bit of Meow's Sassy - which is another very sheer buff-pink blush.
