Stila’s Waterproof Smudge Stick in Periwinkle

Urban Decay’s 24-7 Eye Pencil in Psychedelic Sister

Very interesting color…that, unfortunately, does not apply very smoothly. I like how this provides a subtle bit of color, rather than sharp hard definition. And once it's in place and has set, it's not moving until you use makeup remover. I loved this color in the Ocho Loco II...

TKB Trading’s Moon Light highlighter

The cooler of the Metalites duo. This one works better with my coloring, but I also feel like I can actually detect it when I apply it. I can actually see it doing something: cooling my tones, giving a slight reflective/near-pearl wash, and unifying my look for that day....

Urban Decay’s 24-7 Eye Pencil Vault

An EXTREMELY limited-time offer…that has come back. (Yes, really.) If you’ve ever wondered “self, how can I get every single eyeliner pencil in Urban Decay’s regular collection?” you now have an answer: pay $295. This was originally released in early spring of 2013, and I managed to snag one...

Revlon’s Colorburst Lacquer Balm in Flirtatious (125)

A slightly cool medium-intensity red that's great deeper color without going into “killer red” territory. Some days, one wants to wear something other than deep mauve, but not quite “fire-engine red.” For me, this color fits the bill perfectly. I really love this shade! And having it in a really...

Shiro Cosmetics’ Aperature Laboratories

A near-white sparkle, not quite metallic but almost. Fully opaque, and just barely greyed - using this gets me my inner-vee and browbone highlights without looking quite so abrupt or over-the-top. (I personally like brighter whites as all-over shades or dramatic liners. They're often a bit too bright for highlighting.)

Beauty from the Earth’s Sorrow

When I got this color, I knew it reminded me of something…I just wasn't sure what. Once I swatched it, I almost instantly thought of Concrete Minerals' Wicked, as being something it's very simlar to. Turns out…Sorrow is very similar to another BFTE color that I fell in...

Femme Fatale Cosmetics’ Polymorph

Very attractive near-neutral, with softer aqua iridescent highlights. I can see this becoming one of my daily-use shadows, easily! I've had success pairing this with cooler charcoal greys, or the more neutral taupes - but the instant I try to wear it with anything that's the slightest bit warm, it...

Persephone Minerals’ Spirit Realm

I managed to get this shade before Persephone's temporary closure back in 2011. When they re-opened, Spirit Realm was added to the regular lineup.
