When looking at the Color Outside The Lines kit and the full Smudge Stick collection, I thought that Color Outside the Line's Emerald might have been “promoted” to Jade. But…no, that isn't the case. Jade is its own color. It's cooler, a bit richer, and has a metallic finish....
Nice color, good finish, excellent coverage…but it is a lighter brown. It will provide a subtle enhancement rather than firm definition. I didn't have to layer this pencil nor be extra-careful to make sure I got a solid line, but you can see the effects this particular shade has...
This blush looked like it might have a little bit more overt gold shimmer, than it ended up displaying. The color leans just a tiny bit more toward apricot, but it's still a sheer peach. A year ago I would have passed this by as being too orange a blush...
A nice neutral-ish looking mauve that ends up…looking a bit redder when actually applied. I don’t understand how that works…but since it veers closer to pink-rose than vivid red, I’m okay with it. Coverage is a little more opaque than some of the other lip tints...
As I was going through my collection, I found shadows here and there that I'd long ago purchased...but never photographed. Not once. It's a clean white with a finish that's halfway between pearl and shimmer. Dry application gives a rougher texture while foiling smooths it out a bit; but...
Not quite the colorchanger that it looked like it might be in the official photos…but it's still a lovely shade. The greenish-gold shimmer is faint, the right light has to hit it at the right angle for that color to take precedence. On the upside, that means that this...
In the pot, this looks like it might a rich, gorgeous vibrant sapphire. Unfortunately…the color softens quite a bit upon application. (This was one of the later Chromes, in the square jars; I heard some people saying that the overall quality of the Chromes declined when they were packaged...
Dark base color that almost - almost - looks like it could be a blue-black, with a generous layer of green glitter. Not a solid shimmer finish, but very very VERY close to it. When I buff this color, the shimmer does tend to get brushed away, even if I've...
