If this were not semisheer, the color would be a medium red. As it is, this gloss has a bit more color payoff than some of the others, but still not enough for my personal tastes. It's still very much a “tint.” Crowd Surver was one of the limited-edition shades,...
White sparkle, with some patchy-application problems. This works very well if you want scattered-but-not-sparse white sparkle with a bit of color payoff, especially on top of a deep cream shadow base. With the right application, you might also be able to use this as a glammed-up highlighter. I prefer shadows...
This is almost a metallic indigo-violet. There's no blackening, not even any dark undertones. The color was a little bit difficult to apply smoothly, either wet or dry - I got some thin patches either way. That was a bit frustrating. It also doesn't seem to layer very well, unless...
This one reminds me very strongly of two shades from Meow Cosmetics. It has that interesting turquoise-ish green base that seems to shift between more strongly green, to more strongly blue (with what looks like some purple thrown in for kicks.) I love colors like this! Meow's Swinger gives me...
Applies just a tiny bit sheer when dry, and (in my experience) doesn't layer all that well. Or, at least, the color intensity doesn't increase as I added layers. It looks attractive foiled, though, and the color payoff is increased along with the shimmer finish. It can look almost neutral,...
I'm not entirely sure I've ever seen a nail polish this color…but I really like it! It's the perfect shade of old-gold. It does hang onto brushstrokes a bit more than I'd like, and the formula is just the tiniest bit thin, so I don't know if the brushstrokes...
Vivid blue that gives me almost-full coverage with just one coat…but really needs two for the color to show the best. I don't know if this polish is a metallic, a frost, or both. I think it's a frost with a high-shine finish…and no visible brushstrokes. Let's say...
I had seen these for a while, but didn’t really know much about Jordana the brand. Then I saw two separate blog posts saying that the lip balms were pretty good quality, and one mentioned that they were about on par with Revlon’s Just Bitten Kissable Balmstains…and...
Sometimes, Silk Naturals will release colors and they’ll stay around for a while. Other times, they tend to get pulled from the rotation after a few years. (The shortest I’ve noticed an eyeshadow ever being available for purchase from Silk Naturals - if it isn’t specifically listed...
