BareMinerals’ Celebration blush

Maybelline’s Color Sensational lipstick in Luminous Lilac (715)

For something with “lilac” in the name, this was surprisingly un-lilac. It was an attractive shade, almost a nude lip with a pearl finish. But…lilac? I guess this is like pink eyeshadows named “Sunshine:” one just goes with it. This was fairly sheer, like all of the Colorsensational Pearl...

MAC’s Silver Fog pigment

Mon Ennui’s Cake Fight

Color Club’s Kaleidescope collection

Color Club’s summer 2013 collection, five creme finishes and one pearl-iridescent “effects” coat.

This one kind of sticks out, being...
