Color Club’s Macaroon Swoon

Color Club’s Macaroon Swoon

Posted on Wednesday, at

Not the best polish in this collection…but not the worst, either. Uneven application, thinner in spots, but not so thin that you can see the nail through two coats. Once I let this polish thicken a little, it may be more usable. (As it is, I can get away...

Sally Hansen’s Mojito (825)

Sally Hansen’s Mojito (825)

Posted on Wednesday, at

A little bit thin in some sports, but fairly good coverage overall. The color is a bit darker and cooler than Green Tea, which is a much more pastel green. Both have similar issues with the formula, though: spreadability is good, but it really requires three coats for full even...

Revlon’s Colorburst Lacquer Balm collection

Revlon’s Colorburst Lacquer Balm collection

Posted on Tuesday, at

The huge popularity of the original, now-renamed Just Bitten Kissable Balmstains lead Revlon to not simply expand the original lineup, but give us two new collections: one in matte-finish, one in high-shine “lacquer” finish. There are some great colors in this collection, and the high-shine finish is lovely. But look...

Meow Cosmetics’ Panache Blush collection

Meow Cosmetics’ Panache Blush collection

Posted on Tuesday, at

A collection of blushes with a slightly shimmery satin finish, and colors that blend and “melt” into your complexion to help with a “lit from within” blush. The colors are all over the spectrum - there’s a wine-red, a more vivid berry-pink, even a soft purple. The colors are...

Stila’s Waterproof Smudge Crayon collection

Stila’s Waterproof Smudge Crayon collection

I bought a few of these about two years ago, to compare Stila’s gel-formula pencils to the NYX pencils that I frequently use. There’s a definite difference - they’re a bit “slipperier”, though they do dry faster and stay in place longer. They also work very well...

TKB Trading’s Verdigris Gold

TKB Trading’s Verdigris Gold

Posted on Monday, at

Almost more of a gilded green, than a greenish gold. It reminds me a bit of softened or “weathered” greens like Meow's Leafless. This is actually a good green, for people who traditionally avoid green because they have problems wearing it. The color is softer, but still definitely has decent...

TKB Trading’s Apricot

TKB Trading’s Apricot

Posted on Monday, at

Best used as a highlighter or effects layer. It's attractive enough, but it's on the sheer side. It does have enough light-catching particles that it works well as a brow-bone highlighter, especially on medium and deeper skintones.

TKB Trading’s Red Basics

TKB Trading’s Red Basics

A medium red, attractive enough. Not too sheer, not too warm. It does seem to lose a bit of its depth when applied, but not to the degree that most BareMinerals reds and reddish eyeshadows do - Passion, Bliss, Desire, Gal Pal, Shantung…I'm side-eyeing you. I think this shade...

Femme Fatale Cosmetics’ Prismo

Femme Fatale Cosmetics’ Prismo

Posted on Sunday, at

When I first saw this color, I didn't know if it would be something I'd want to add to my collection - only because it looked like it would be a much softer shade, and it looked kind of similar to other shades that I already had and didn't use...
