Slightly mid-range in terms of brightness, because this was a spring release; but not a neon-bright, nor a pastel. The dry application doesn't thrill me too much, possibly because this is close to my skin tone but a bit more apricot. Foiled, it makes a nice subtle accent…but if...
An interesting near-neutral. This could almost be a dupe for one of the colors in Urban Decay's Naked 3 palette. The color payoff is good, and there's a good deal of shimmer without the shadow looking overly sparkly. I like the copper hints in this one. They complement blue eyes very...
I've been on a no-buy since January 1, 2014. I've broken it once - to get the LE Maybelline Nude Color Tattoos when I finally found them - but not since then. I've gotten so out of the habit of beauty-buying, that I did not make a reservation for the Sephora VIB...
(Why, yes, I had owned this color for quite some time before I got around to photographing it, why do you ask? The deep gouges in the surface of the pot? Yeah…) This is a great neutral creme-pearl, and I don't have anything quite like it from the various other...
This pencil was added to the 24/7 lineup about this time last year. The official description calls this a dark green, but to me it reads more blackened teal, almost like a midnight blue. I also see faint hints of shimmer finish, rather than a matte similar to the other UD...
This red is in my personal comfort-zone for red lipsticks, but getting toward the edge. I tend to wear less intense shades, mauves and corals and lilac-pinks, but not too many reds. (For one, I get lazy about touch-ups and that's much less visible when you're wearing a near-natural shade...
A super-light green, nearly white, with a metallic finish. I wish that this applied more smoothly, though. Even for unblended mica, this tends to clump together and won't apply evenly - neither wet nor dry.
I wish this color had a bit more pigmentation. That said…it's a gorgeous shade! I like the near-iridescent lilac over the turquoise-teal base. I don't know how it will look on olive-toned or on extremely warm skintones, but medium-golden skintones or deeper cool tones should be able to wear...
