BBAC 2013, Day 6: Urban Decay’s 24-7 Glide On Pencil Vault

BBAC 2013, Day 6: Urban Decay’s 24-7 Glide On Pencil Vault

Posted on Thursday, at

I got the box and left it - and all the pencils - sitting on the dining room table for about two months. The pencils were arranged chromatically, and they were just to pretty to disrupt! But, sooner or later…one has to move on and actually start USING the...

Shiro Cosmetics’ Heaven Nor Hell

Dark enough and pigmented for a softer liner shade, but with no blackening - so easily usable as a straight-up eyeshadow color. You could possibly use this for contouring, but the shade is pretty enough that I don't know that I'd hide it under a blending shade.

The blue gets softened a bit, by the duotone gold shimmer. I personally think this color is a little soft - I wish it had better payoff, and looked more like it does in the pot. The brightness of the shade, combined with the color depth, means that I tend...

I like how this performs. It covers completely, I have to use very little of it, and it even held up well to August in Atlanta GA. It's costly, but if you sign up for their mailing list you can get a free intro gift; and if you wait for...

BBAC 2013, Day 4: Jordana’s Twist n Shine Balm Stains

BBAC 2013, Day 4: Jordana’s Twist n Shine Balm Stains

Posted on Tuesday, at

Jordana is a drugstore brand that I honestly hadn't paid a lot of attention to, previously. I tried some of their retractable lip and eye liners, because they were so inexpensive and they were right by the register; but since they didn't have loose powder eyeshadows, or cream shadows, or...

BBAC 2013, Day 3: Nail-stamp water marbling

BBAC 2013, Day 3: Nail-stamp water marbling

Posted on Monday, at

I saw a tutorial where someone did a fairly smart thing: they took a nail stamper (like the one you'd get in nearly any nail stamping kit), twirled THAT through the marbled polishes, then stamped the design onto their nails. Genius!! Yes, there's still polish on your cuticles. Yes, there's...
