Sally Hansen’s Complete Salon Manicure collection

Sally Hansen’s Complete Salon Manicure collection

Posted on Tuesday, at

I’ve written up the various limited-edition and seasonal collections, but not the core of the line. Now’s probably a good time to do that…not only because Sally Hansen appears to be adding half a dozen shades to the regular lineup, but because I own about half of...

Color-wise, these don’t really seem to have a theme. The palette is all over the place. The colors are interesting, definitely; and there’s a nice mix of finishes (chrome, flakie, microglitter…) but I wasn’t seeing a theme. I did some research, and all that I could find...

Beauty from the Earth’s Java Junkie

Beauty from the Earth’s Java Junkie

A very very soft brown, right on the edge of being a yellow - and that largely due to the sparse gold shimmer. The actual color is kind of greyed, and very light. I have used this as an inner-vee highlighter and wasn't happy with the results, but I suspect...

Silk Naturals’ 4matic

Nearly neutral, but with definite gold shimmer particles. It almost looks like it's got a brown under-layer (almost.) I can use this as a near-neutral inner contour color, or for a smokey eye (yep, really) but other than that I haven't personally got tons of ways to use it, that...

Rainbow Minerals’ Pearl Beige

Rainbow Minerals’ Pearl Beige

Another color that I bought a long time ago (back in 2008, actually) and…forgot to photograph. This shade is very similar to Antique Pearl, but more pigmented and has a smoother finish. The shade is defnitely a golden-peach tan, a warm neutral shade - if you have brown or blue...

I have other eyeshadows very close to this color of red…but I don't think that any of them have the aqua sparkle in them. The color applies just a tiny bit softer than it appears in the pot, but not that much softer. There weren't sheer or semisheer patches,...

Skincare Skincare and health in general starts from the inside, out. I'm drinking more ice water, now that it isn't winter-cold and drinking cold drinks is refreshing instead of a surefire way to give yourself pneumonia. (Because dropping your core temperature in the dead of winter is rarely ever a...

Stila’s Waterproof Smudge Stick in Damsel

Stila’s Waterproof Smudge Stick in Damsel

Posted on Saturday, at

When I first saw this added to the regular lineup, I looked at the name and wondered if this was a slightly-tweaked version of Ladyfish, the smudge stick included with the Luxe Palette. But no...this is a deep brown, no purple tones at all. It isn't blackened, but it's...

Urban Decay’s 24-7 Eye Pencil in Black Market

Urban Decay’s 24-7 Eye Pencil in Black Market

Posted on Saturday, at

There are, indeed, green glitter particles in this pencil. They're not as plentiful as the blue sparkles in Apathy; but the pencil has slightly better coverage than Apathy. (I wonder if that's why…) Still…it's kind of average, for an eyeliner from Urban Decay. One of the black liners in...
