I had hopes for this green: deeper than most “summery” greens, not even as bright as Zoya's Tilda. This was almost like Apple's more subdued cousin. Unfortunately, the polish applied rather unevenly. I took the photos with two coats, then applied a third to even a few nails out. The...
I love these shades! There are some similar shades from other companies, and another similar shade from Femme Fatale - but the base is warmer, and the shimmer is decidedly more blue. They're an interesting contrast-and-complement shadow that I can use for defining/lining, and really get some impressive effects....
Simple matte black, with super-easy application and good staying power. It stays “malleable”/smudgeable a bit longer than UD's Perversion, which can be either a blessing or a curse…but I like the convenience of the twist-up product. (Sadly, like all the Stila Smudge Sticks, this is not retractable. So...
This is kind of a cross between Lucky and Eldorado - very much a bronze, not a brass. Application is fairly nice, no skipping or pilling up. I think this is what most “metallic gold” eyeliners want to be, is this pencil / this color. There's enough gold to lighten, enough...
The only of the Drugs Like Me blushes that isn’t a duotone. It looks like it would be extremely dark, but I don’t see that - just a subtle slightly cool red.
I was thrilled to see this color in the lineup! Not a full-on red, not a super-soft pink either, just the right amount of mauve to give the color some depth without steering too far into “neutral” territory. It's easy to take with you, easy to apply on the go,...
Very solid color payoff, and no streaky foiled application (which happens with so many matte colors.) This is one of my surprise-favorites from BFTE: enough color payoff to use as an eyeliner; works well as a highlighter when applied with a soft-focus brush and a light touch; excellent all-over shade....
Great metallic purple shade that is just a little softer when applied, than it looks in the pot.
