My Pretty Zombie’s Col. Skipper

This eyeshadow is almost like a grey-mauve with a pink-mauve interference on top of it. It makes a good transition shade, or a nice neutral that can stand on its own. I might try using this as a highlighter with some of my purple blushes - it might make a...

Crown Brush’s Deluxe Blending Fluff Brush SS021

Handaiyan’s Colored Mascara in Orange (10)

Along with the yellow, white, and red, this was one of the colors I was most interested to try. I like the way this color looks on me - it builds nicely, it's nice and bright without being neon-screaming, and while it isn't totally waterproof it's very close (or it's...

Maybelline’s Super Stay Ink Crayon Lipstick in Check Yourself

This is definitely a red, not a really deep rose-pink...which is what I was hoping for. My mild disappointment of the color aside, this applies easily and gives me full coverage. A lot of red bullet-lipsticks can't do that!

KBShimmer’s Sip Back and Relax

Initially I wasn't sure I wanted to buy this polish. It looked too much like something that could come from Zoya or China Glaze. Then I decided: forget that, I love this shade of red, I'm getting it. It isn't a deep oxblood - which I also love - but...

KBShimmer’s Much Lava To You

This came out when so many other indies were adding black-blood-red duochromes to their lineups. I bought one plain one from another indie vendor, and bought this white-texture finish version from KBShimmer. I ended up liking this one much better, but the shifts are a bit subtle, especially when compared...

Zoya’s Padma

I picked this up later, after I'd used the other shades in this collection and thought that I might like. (I have a habit of avoiding pink, rose, and most red polishes in Zoya collections because my brain keeps telling me that I already have Too Many. This is partially...

NYX’s Epic Smoke Liner collection

I love the Epic Ink Liner collection from NYX, so was hopeful about this one. I liked several of the colors, and thought - let's check these out, shall we? I won't be rebuying any of these. They're not necessarily hideous quality, they're just kind of...odd. They stay malleable...

KBShimmer’s Love At Frost Sight collection

I only have four of the 14 polishes originally released with this collection. Part of that is because there were a few magnetic polishes, and I generally don't get magnetic polishes. I also try to minimize the number of thermal polishes that I have because those have a definite shelf life....

Silk Naturals’ Bubbly

This is technically a face highlighter, on par with something like the now-discontinued Becca's Champagne Pop. (Color me surprised...) I originally got a small jar as a GWP, bought a few regular-sized jars, and didn't realize it was a face highlighter. I just used it as an eyeshadow, and while...
