A repromote from MAC, a gorgeous violet-purple that works amazingly well with blue eyes. Or brown. Or hazel. Or…you get the picture This was released earlier this year for Year of the Snake collection. This pigment and Brash and Bold were both previously released in the Art Cosmetics collection....
This liner shade can lose a little bit of its pigmentation when you apply it, and I got a few thin spots when I swept it on. Pat it into place to get a deep rich dark blue, similar to Meow Cosmetics' Sardonic without the shimmer finish. (...what is this,...
Bare Escentuals at one time had several dance-themed eyeshadows that would rotate in and out of its regular lineup: Alley Cat, Bunny Hop, Charleston, Cha-cha, Flamenco, Mambo, Salsa… Most of the colors were “glimpses”, meaning that they were semisheer or a little sheerer. As a color, Mambo fit into the...
Near-metallic finish - more like a really really high-shine creme with a slight frost. The end result is a high shine, but a very slight texture that looks like a softened frost.
Another great multichrome polish from Brazillian vendor Ludurana. The bottles contain about half the amount of polish Americans are used to getting; and they're not easy to come by outside of South America; but if you're a hardcore multichrome freak, this is most definitely worth it. The polish looks dark...
A black holographic! How fantastic is that??? Okay, actually it’s more of a very dark charcoal, or a soft black. Either way, it’s got the gorgeous linear holographic effects and it gives full coverage in just two coats. It’s very similar to Speciallita’s Zeus, but it...
The cool thing about this kit? It’s got two gorgeous purples, and just about everyone that wears eyeshadow can wear purples. Another cool thing about this kit? It has an exclusive color! You can get Blackberry Sorbet and Butt Naked by themselves, but you can only get Faith in...
A definite contrast from the 50s retro collection! The lip colors are softer, the eyeshadows are bright with shimmer and sparkle…there’s actually a rainbow in here. Definitely a change after the 50s Retro collection! The colors all are paired with another, and each has the paired-color sparkles: pink...
I’m a jeweltone-polish fiend. Brights…well bright jeweltones, and I’m amazingly happy. When I saw this collection, I immediately bought three. And then two more. Because…pretty!! These polishes are all glass-fleck finishes, and they’re about a 3.5 on the “sheer-to-opaque” scale. Three coats and you might still...
Another shadow where the color softens quite a bit upon application. This is not so great, if you're expecting a really deep strong blackened-brown liner color. It's good if you want this color in a weight that won't so easily overpower the other shades you might be wearing. I've used...
