Kiko Cosmetics’ Long Lasting Stick Shadow in Rose (53)

Pale metallic white-gold-pink with a shimmer finish. Works well as a highlighter, since it is such a pale shade. I don’t know that I like how this looks on me. This is also the “new” formula which doesn’t apply or build as well as the Stick Shadows from 2018...

NYX Cosmetics’ Dazed and Diffused Blurring Lipstick in Roller Disco

I thought that this would be a little more purple. It is a cooler pink, but it’s definitely pink. If you’re looking for a tulip-pink lip color or lip liner, this is a pretty good choice - it’s the same format as the Buxom Plumpliners, and it...

Sassy Sauce Polish’s Masks mandatory, bras optional

Okay, this was totally a “buying it for the name” purchase. The color looked good, but I didn’t realize it was a thermal polish! I don’t categorically hate thermal polishes, but I do know that they have a definite shelf life. After this point, the color-shift stops happening…...

NYX Cosmetics’ Sweet Cheeks Creamy Powder Blush collection

I was so interested in these! I liked that you could get each color in matte or glow/shimmer finish, and the color range seemed small but pretty good - a deep cool red, a pale pink, a coral, a brick, a purple-red, light tan…a really good palette. The...

My Pretty Zombie’s Macaroni Supper Casserole

This color is not red, but it’s so very close!

NYX Cosmetics’ Epic Wear Liner Stick in Graphic Purple

JD Glow Cosmetics’ Liquid Multichrome Liner in See Weed

This has the narrowest shift of all of the Liquid Multichromes. The primarily-visible color is a medium metallic bright green, which softly transitions into a medium bright blue at the edges.

ILNP’s Eclipse

During 2020 there was a rush of companies coming out with black-to-red multichrome nail polishes…and, yeah, I caved. I got this one and PMS’ Poker Face. This polish has a smoother, more metallic finish. I used two coats, but they were slightly thicker. If you use thinner coats, you’ll...

elf’s Sheer Slick Lipstick collection

elf came out with a collection of these semi-sheer lip colors. Initially I was kind of hesitant to give it a try, but I liked the initial look of some of the shades. I was also seeing reviews saying that these were closer to “semi-opaque” than “semi-sheer” - that is,...

Femme Fatale Cosmetics’ Wicked Wax Museum

This is more of a rich highlighter than an all-over shade for me. The base color is softer, the finish is pretty strong but not a hard-metallic effect. There have been a few similar colors from indie vendors, but no exact matches. The closest is My Pretty Zombie’s Ham...
