I need to be careful about how I wear this one. The purple sheers out quite a bit, and the blue interference shimmer is pretty strong whether the color is applied wet or dry. It almost acts like one of the Interplanetary Traveller micas, because of that very definite shift...
Muted metallic storm-cloud slate with, unfortunately, not the very smoothest application ever. If you stipple this in place, or mix it in some kind of liquid for thin-line application, you may be happier with the results than if you sweep it on. It can work as a highlighter in some...
This looks almost blackened…but there isn't any sooty leave-behind that you'd expect from a blackened eyeshadow. It makes a great liner or a fantastic outer-vee color…and yes, it works pretty nicely in a smokey eye. There are some hints of blue in this color, especially under soft or...
When this collection was announced, I was thrilled! I was less thrilled when I saw the price increase, all across the Zoya line. I'd previously stated that if Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure came in more colors I'd gladly use it exclusively but Zoya had such great polishes that even...
This is the only polish I purchased from this collection - not because the other colors weren't good quality, just that the shades didn't interest me much. When photos began circulating, many beauty bloggers and nail-polish addicts were asking ourselves how similar this might be to the Katy Perry/OPI...
I’ve looked over the Sephora Contour Eyeliner collection and contemplated buying some, but never did manage to decide to try any out. And then, this kit came along…! This was my sole purchase from the VIB Rouge sale, both because I was still recently recovering from being unemployed; and...
The autumn 2011 collection was…more of a last-gasp-of-summer palette, it seemed like. The overall palette made me think of a beach house at the end of the season: all the washed and faded blues and greens and browns. There was only one red, and only two other “warm” colors. There...
This color is almost a neutral brown, but it looks like it has some warm tones - aside from the silver and gold shimmer, that is. Double Chocolate is almost the ultimate “goes-with-anything” shade of non-taupe brown. This shadow can work as a liner shade, though if you're looking for...
This yellow is not fooling around: very bold, very rich, not neon, but bright. And intensely pigmented! The color payoff is excellent. If you're looking for a vivid, tropical yellow that will dominate almost any look it's used in, this is the color you'd get. And while it was released...
This…is patchy as hell. I'm guessing that these “reflects” should be applied like cosmetic glitter, rather than with the expectation that they'll provide smooth even coverage and color. I've never personally been a huge fan of using cosmetic glitter by itself, which is probably a large part of the...
