Many (okay, almost all) eyeliner collections contain a variant of this shade. I know that, as much as I love the color, it doesn't look all that great on me. So why do I keep buying it? Urban Decay seems to have a 50% success rating with metallic-finish pencils, in that...
I get into cycles where I'll listen to the same album (or two) for a month solid. It's like there are auditory hooks that have to burn themselves into and then out of my brain...and then I'll move on to the next set of auditory hooks. Up until about...
I love cool-toned blushes. I actually have several purple/lilac/lavender blushes in my collection. This isn't purple, but it's a really gorgeous near-metallic mauve-berry shade that will look great on oh so many people. This almost acts more like a glow powder when I apply it with a softer,...
The ‘fuchsia’ color on this one is less vivid, because this is a lip tint rather than a color or stain. The upside to that is that it’s more easily wearable. It does periodically need re-applying, and it won’t layer to become more vivid; but I count both...
This shade was one of the colors that didn't come back, when Victorian Disco re-opened and re-released several of its previous collections…albeit pared down a bit. It's a periwinkle-lavender with fairly decent pigmentation, and no muting. I wonder if this shade wasn't revived because an ingredient had been discontinued,...
So apparently…there was a very small (four colors) Harry Potter collection that Silk Naturals released in summer 2010, along with the Hawaii collection (Pacific, Mahalo, Aloha, and Cleo.) Hero is the only shade from that HP collection that's still available to purchase from Silk Naturals. Hero is a semisheer medium-weight...
I waffled back and forth on purchasing this color from Lost in Makeupland…and then, once I purchased it and repotted it, it sat in my backlog-box for almost two years. It's an attractive shade (almost like a slightly brighter version of Silk Naturals' Hero) with an aqua-green base and...
The warmer of the two “neutral” nudes from Zoya's Naturel collection.
This truly is a foil finish, rather than a microglitter. Two coats gave me full opacity, and even with one coat the coverage was fairly solid. The finish is a little bit lumpier-looking, but the polish itself doesn’t snag on things or flake off. This manicure stayed in place,...
