Sally Hansen’s Please Sea Me (530)

Sally Hansen’s Please Sea Me (530)

Posted on Wednesday, at

A nicely saturated shade, full coverage in two coats…but it looks just a tiny bit streaky in certain lights and at certain angles. (Three coats did away with that, and evened things out nicely.) This is similar to the limited-edition New Wave Blue, but Please Sea Me is a...

Color Club’s Femme Fatale collection

Color Club’s Femme Fatale collection

Posted on Tuesday, at

Creme, pearl, frost, an effects-coat, and two holographics in this black-and-white collection. I was lucky enough to find the two holographics at 8ty8beauty - and I think I bought up the rest of their stock!! Revvolution is a darker black base than the more-recently-released Beyond, and had denser holographic...

Femme Fatale Cosmetics’ Post Apocalyptic collection

Femme Fatale Cosmetics’ Post Apocalyptic collection

Posted on Tuesday, at

The Post Apocalyptic collection is the largest collection that Femme Fatale has released to date! 21 eyeshadows, three blushes, including one limited-edition shade. Most of the other eyeshadow collections that Femme has released are six colors - which does make for nice symmetry, but if you don’t happen to love...

Beauty from the Earth’s The Last Drop

Beauty from the Earth’s The Last Drop

Posted on Monday, at

Definitely the best candidate for ‘eyeliner' in this collection! A dark brown with fairly good coverage, and scattered gold shimmer. The color is a little bit on the lighter side in terms of color payoff, so it can be used as a “regular” contouring shadow and not overwhelm the other...

Silk Naturals’ Checkered

Silk Naturals’ Checkered

Posted on Monday, at

Not quite as soft a yellow as TKB Trading's Pearl Yellow - there's just a slight bit more color depth. The pearl finish is a bit smoother, too. This almost verges on a satin finish. The color payoff is excellent! I overlooked this color for the longest time because yellow...

MAC’s Rose Gold pigment

MAC’s Rose Gold pigment

Posted on Monday, at

An interesting pigment shade. Not really much in the way of red or pink tones, but a nice softer bronzed-orange metallic. The color is “burnished” enough that I can use it as an elegant-but-different liner shade. Adhesion is very good, perhaps a little bit better than some MAC loose pigments...

TKB Trading’s Aurora

TKB Trading’s Aurora

Posted on Monday, at

Leans a bit more toward pale salmon in sunlight, looks more like a warm buff shade indoors. Either way, the coverage is good. This is a shimmery shadow - it isn't easily possible to reduce that. Dry application tones down the shimmer somewhat, but even dry application has a pretty...

Concrete Minerals’ Bang-Up

Concrete Minerals’ Bang-Up

Posted on Sunday, at

Bang-Up was one of the original colors from Concrete Minerals. The blue is clear, with a softer shimmer finish. The dry application is very soft, almost verging on semisheer; but the coverage is even.

Concrete Minerals’ Domino

Concrete Minerals’ Domino

Posted on Sunday, at

Slightly softened, but I'm not sure if that's intentional for the color, or a side effect of the shadow's relative adhesion. So many of the Concrete Minerals mattes have fairly good adhesion, and show up quite intensely, both applied wet and dry. Sadly, Domino (a color I was kind of...

Stila’s Waterproof Smudge Stick in Empress

Stila’s Waterproof Smudge Stick in Empress

Posted on Saturday, at

White and bright eyeliners seem to appear in waves: first they're all the rage for three or four years, then they fade back into obscurity for a decade or two and you can't find one for love nor money. I like white eyeliners, though - both for putting on my...
