Sleek Makeup’s Lagoon i-Divine Palette

Sirvinya picked this palette up for me and brought it over (along with Candy) when we met up at DragonCon in Atlanta GA. Both are brighter palettes, though Candy tends to stay in the pastels-and-softs end of the pool. Lagoon has a few deeper shades, but aside from the ever-present...

Sally Hansen’s Sweet Talker (340)

Beauty from the Earth’s Rainbow Palette kit

I steered clear of this kit and most of these colors, because about a third of them are unblended micas - that is, they’re the exact same as micas you might buy from a wholesaler like TKB Trading, but these have some sericite mica or base mixed in to...

Beauty from the Earth’s Oak

A pretty enough midweight brown with red flecks and a metallic finish…and the dry application seemed a bit better in terms of color depth and coverage, than the foiled application. Usually, with loose-powder eyeshadows, I find that the opposite is true!

Shiro Cosmetics’ For Generations

The color's a bit on the softer side, but it's definitely not pastel. The color…I don't know. It isn't a definitively cool pink, it's not raspberry, but it isn't quite as warm as other strawberry shadows that I have. If you have strongly golden- or olive-toned skin, this may...
