Femme Fatale Cosmetics’ Divinity

Femme Fatale Cosmetics’ Divinity

Posted on Monday, at

Soft non-sheer pink with an almost-iridescent finish that seems to shift between pink and gold. This is a bit too pigmented to easily use as a highlighter, unless you're looking for more of an accent shade than an actual brightening highlighter. This is just barely deeper than “baby pink” but...

The image design is cleaner than either of the previous versions, and - I think - gives people a better look at the products while still prominently displaying a watermark. I'm liking the new image design more and more! I'm also finding myself with more time to actually write up...

It's always exciting to see people reaching milestones. Shiro Cosmetics has been around since 2010 - it's starting its fourth year!! The lineup is relatively small, but they're all solid performers. The eyeshadows and blushes are excellent, with good coverage and colors and longevity all around. The monthly colors are wonderful...

A medium-weight, slightly warm brown with gold shimmer and gold tones. It can apply a bit soft, but it's buildable. Just make sure to wait between the coats to give the first level enough time to properly set. It works well to add a hint of color and slight definition...

Meow Cosmetics’ Forest Flame blush

Meow Cosmetics’ Forest Flame blush

Posted on Friday, at

Almost a completely sheer wash of coral-peach with pink shimmer. I'd almost class this as a glow powder, if it had more luminescence to it. This is definitely a warm color, but I'm able to wear it without too many problems…namely, if I don't pay attention to what I'm...

BareMinerals’ Marvelous Moxie in Firecracker

This shade was the primary reason that I grabbed the Marvelous Moxie Hot to Trot kit. Some of the gloss colors in this kit -and in the overall Moxie lip gloss collection - are faint color washes and some shimmer effect. This shade actually has color, and fairly-well-distributed gold sparkle....

Your standard black-with-silver-sparkle. This color is a bit sooty, so be careful when applying it that you don't end up with a smokier eye than you might be trying for!!

Purple with green has been done quite a lot in nail polishes, but I don't see it as often in eyeshadows. This is a very soft violet, good for a “darker” color in pastel or spring-bright looks without dominating the lid. The green complementary duotone shimmer is sparse, but it's...

TKB Trading’s Vintage Blue

TKB Trading’s Vintage Blue

Posted on Thursday, at

This color is almost a Tiffany blue, but with less of the aqua tones and a little bit more color depth. (Not much, though…this still qualifies as a “light blue.”) Because this is a straight mica with no ingredients to aid with adhesion, you'll need to wear this with...
