Femme Fatale Cosmetics’ Sea of Something

Very deep, rich, incredibly vivid blue-violet with blue interference shimmer. If you're thinking of passing this one by because you have enough purple eyeshadows…don't. Seriously. Go back and get it now. I'll wait.

Sephora’s Contour Eye Pencil in Caipirinha Dreamin’

This was one of the two exclusive shades in the Ten Shades of Samba kit, so I was very excited to see how it looked. Could have been worse. But definitely could have been better. I don't know if it's these lighter greens, or metallic finish pencils, but both of...

Maybelline’s Chocolate Suede Color Tattoo cream shadow

I managed to get all five of the Leather color tattoos from Ulta, when they were having a nice sale on all Maybelline products. (I love sales. I especially love sales where the items that I very much want to buy, are both included in the sale, and actually in...

Zoya’s Tilda

Less of a yellow-toned green, more of a bright medium green. It applied easily, though I noticed that this took just a tiny bit longer to cure on its own than the other polishes in this collection. (Or maybe I just applied that one coat, a lot heavier than I...
