Beauty from the Earth’s Blue Me Over

Featured as the Color of the Week in late December 2013, just after the shop closing was announced. This color wasn't previously available for individual purchase - possibly this was an older color brought back for a CoTW, or it was a color planned for a future release. The color has...

Beauty from the Earth’s Brag

This was added to the BFTE lineup in September or October 2013, I can't remember exactly when. It's either a green that leans gold, or a yellow that leans olive - depending on lighting and surrounding colors. The foiled application was a bit patchier than I have come to expect from...

Spending Ban: week 3

The only beauty purchase I've made during the spending ban - which runs through the end of March 2014 - was two separate orders from Beauty from the Earth Cosmetics. I normally would just wait until after the spending ban, but the company is closing on January 31st and I wanted...

The Skin Project: Questions, Comments, Roundup

So - final day of this project for me! I hope these posts have helped people, even if you only learned one new thing. The biggest points to remember, when building a skincare routine, are: use sunscreen. Always. Seriously. Hands, forearms, neck, and face, even in the dead of winter....

Urban Decay’s 24-7 Eye Pencil in Oil Slick

Makeup Geek’s Lipstick in Fearless

BareMinerals’ Fog

This doesn't appear to have been part of any kit, ever. (Though knowing that the company was headquartered in San Francisco, pairing this up with Nob Hill and Cable Car seems a good ad-hoc “kit” and I wonder why it wasn't marketed. The names have a common theme, and the...

Meow Cosmetics’ Unlucky

An attractive color, one that shifts between purple, cool metallic burgundy, and a red-brown. There are more obvious hints of duochtome in the color's dry application, than when it's foiled.

Fyrinnae’s Digital Faerie

A bit brighter than I remembered it being, when I swatched it… (or perhaps I'm still remembering the now-discontinued Farseer?)
