Zoya’s Hudson

Zoya’s Hudson

Easter-candy purple!! I like this shade better for springtime, than the more familiar pastel-lavenders that so often show up. The application and finish were both fairly good. This formula is a little better than the microglass-fleck / “liquid crystal” finish polishes that Zoya first released, back with the Bibhu Mohapatra polishes...

Such a pretty color, I was really looking forward to this one! Unfortunately, the formula is thin, and I had uneven coverage and some very thin spots after two coats. I’m hoping that some time will thicken the polish to the point where it’s usable after two coats....

I got easy, smooth coverage from this polish, in just two coats. Which makes me sad that I don't like the color better. The polish isn't watery, but I don't know how well it will work as a stamping polish…but I'll give it a try.

Physician’s Formula Shimmer Strips Glam Brown Eyes Gel CreamLiner Trio kit

Physician’s Formula Shimmer Strips Glam Brown Eyes Gel CreamLiner Trio kit

While these “glam” trios weren’t as thrilling or as solidly-performing as the regular-line Gel CreamLiner Trios, they were decent. You’re not going to find any other metallic-finish cream gel liners that perform as well as these do for this price point. That said, this set had the same...

A nice, slightly-deeper-than-pastel spring palette. Four microglass-fleck / frost finishes and two cremes. (I skipped on the cremes because I already had Cole - previously released as Stella, in the Peter Som NYFW collection - and I didn’t really care for Dot, a pale pink creme.) I do love the...

Silk Naturals’ Cloudberry

Silk Naturals’ Cloudberry

Posted on Monday, at

Very pale color, and semisheer to boot. I haven't found a good use for this one, unfortunately, except “all over on no-makeup days when I'm not inspired.” It is buildable, which is good news; but that just gets you “whitish-orange pearl.” It is a good color to pair with other,...

Reminds me a bit of the now-discontinued shades Clefairy and Vileplume…both of which I rather liked, so I was glad when this originally popped up in Shiro's lineup.

Femme Fatale Cosmetics’ Disperson

Posted on Sunday, at

Rich cool cabernet-red that can look more purple, depending on the colors it's paired with; and aqua sparkles for accents. I wouldn't have thought that a pairing like this would draw me in! I haven't seen too many other companies release this shade-combo - I think I have one other,...
