Different Dimension’s Look for the Helpers

The most visible colors in this soft-shift polish are light slate blue and copper-red; but you can catch hints of gold, green, and a softened violet. The polish is still semisheer with two coats, when worn by itself. I’m guessing that you could also wear this over other polishes...

Makeup Revolution’s Ultra Palette in Golden Sugar

This is one of the first blush palettes that I bought from Makeup Revolution. (The first was one of their Iconic Trios.) While the colors look interesting in the pan, they all apply very…soft. Two of the colors are a little richer, and the gold shimmer definitely makes them...

Aromaleigh v2.1’s Fidei Defensatrix

Medium-deep aged gold with what appears to be a brown base. This can work as a highlighter if you have deeper skin and apply sparingly. It’s very versatile, and the finish is even but not totally “metallic”-smooth. This reminds me a bit of TKB Trading’s Crucible Gold...

NYX Cosmetics’ Shout Loud Satin Lipstick in Opinionated

I love the idea of this lip color - a deep, rich, cool red. Problem is, it makes my mouth look very very small, and any overdrawing look very very obvious. It applied well, except it would not hang on to my inner lip, which is an issue with all...

Ibcccndc’s Xpress Control Waterproof Mascara in Pink

I love having another pink mascara - and in a formula that applies well! It is a little bit thicker than regular mascaras, but not as thick as ColourPop’s BFF Mascaras. I can get pretty good two-coat coverage that applies evenly and stays put without having to use a...

Polish Me Silly’s Antique Rose

My Pretty Zombie’s Food of the 1970s collection

There are two parts to this collection: the original group, released in 2017; and the second (Stay for Dessert) released a year later. Both were inspired by recipe cards of 1970s foods: interesting uses for jello, architecture-as-presentation, and combinations that range from odd to downright unholy. In line with the collection...

Aromaleigh v2.1’s Trastamara

As of March 2021, this is the only rich red eyeshadow in the entire Six Wives collection. Beloved Sister is a rich red blush, but it’s a blush, so it’s more sheer; and it’s not as cool-toned as this shade. I personally love red eyeshadows, so I was...

Milani Cosmetics’ Cheek Kiss Liquid Blush in Nude Flush

I can wear this color…almost. It’s a softer brown with a little warmth, but the color is more “warm-leaning” than truly warm. It can build, but then it starts showing as a bit too brown on me, and it looks a little like non-oxidizing fake tan. I may...

NYX Cosmetics’ Epic Wear Liner Stick in Cosmic Yellow

Not quite a bright primary yellow, but not a harvest or mustard, either (...well, close to mustard.) I do like bright eyeliners, but slightly-deeper primaries somehow manage to look…a little more dignified, a little less clown-car. (That analogy stinks, but I hope you know what I’m talking about.)...
