Good solid coverage and a nice shade…but the formula was just a touch on the thick side, so it took a bit longer to fully cure. It didn’t level out quite as well as it could have, either, which left the manicure a bit uneven. Maybe this will...
A bit deeper and just slightly warmer than the regular-line color I Lilac You. The finish is right on the border between satin and pearl - ther's a bit of reflectivity, a tiny amount of texturing, but both are very subtle. I don't know if this polish is thick enough...
Primarily neutrals and blues, with some very interesting variations on the term “neutral.” There’s a semisheer gold/pink duochrome, another gilded-silver foil, a knockout blue and an amazing cream, and glitter. (And a cool grey.) The only color in this collection that I don’t love is the glitter,...
Buying makeup off of Ebay is not for the faint of heart. There are lots of counterfeit makeup (particuarly for higher-end items like MAC) and there are lots of people selling items that otherwise retail at around $8 or $9…for twice or even three times that amount. But sometimes…you just...
I'm so glad that this is a neutral-ish green, and that the gold is most definitely gold and not yellow. Those mean that I can actually wear this color without struggling to make it work with the other shades I wear on a given day. This is a straight mica,...
Another shade from what I privately call the “Zodiac” collection: eight (or is it nine?) shades all named after western zodiac signs, in varying shades. (Aquarius, Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius, Cancer, Pisces…I think that's it.) Lovely Leo is a medium-weight orange with yellow-gold undertones and a shimmer finish....
Medium-deep soft red with some brick undertones. I don't know if this is light enough to be used as a blush, except on the deepest skintones; but it would look nice on the lips or in nail polish.
When I first saw this, I thought “I don't need another blue-violet.” And then I swatched the sample and - well, yes, as a matter of fact, I *did* need another blue-violet. Or, at least, this one. The shimmer finish seems to almost vanish when I apply it wet, but...
I would not have expected a medium-light olive green to work so well on me, as a liner shade. It does…but not in the way I generally think of liners. (Goes to show you, everybody's always got something else to learn!)
