An excellent highlighter shade, as well as a softer blending shade. If you're looking for a definite yellow anchor-shade for a look, this may be to soft a yellow for you. But it's a lovely cream that pairs well with just about any clear and most warm colors. I don't...
A very pretty, naturalistic peach-neutral with a plush-pearl finish. If you apply this dry over primer, or foil it, it ends up looking like the softer midrange shade in my photos. If you apply it over Liquid Lustre, or Stick To It, or Pixie Epoxy, the peach is a bit...
Color co-created by Phyrra with BFTE Cosmetics, and debuted on BFTE's Facebook page just before IMATS LA 2013. A cooler magenta-pink that can either been semisheer or applied heavily, or layered to build up for full opacity. This is a vibrant color without being super-bright - which I appreciate! I like...
This kit of three retractable eyeliners was originally $14.00. I got them when they dropped in price to $9.00. The colors didn’t thrill me, but the items from the Sephora+Pantone Universe collection have been fairly decent, a little bit different than the regular Sephora line. They’ve applied a bit...
This color was in a limited-edition kit, rather than being part of the “regular” line…but I can't find the information telling me which kit it was in! So I guess it will have to remain a mystery for a while longer. (I know it would have been in a 2010...
A medium mauve-nude shade, perhaps half a notch darker than my natural lip color. It's excellent to wear daily because the mauve shade looks just a tiny bit more polished (elegant?) - so when I'm wearing otherwise minimal makeup, this lip color really rounds it off well and pulls everything...
This reminds me very slightly of BareMinerals' Marquise - a cooler-toned taupe with a glam-shimmer finish. The color pigmentation is the same when applied as it looks in the pot, but the lilac undertones are a little more visible. There's enough shimmer to reflect the light, but not so much...
Very pale greyed green with a pearlescent finish that almost overpowers the underlying color. The applied shade looks both brighter and less green than it does sitting in the jar; and the dry application is just barely semisheer. I think that the shadow doesn't have much in the way of...
It must be yellow polishes. All three of the colors from the Zang Toi NYFW 2012 collection were a little thinner and required more coats for full coverage; but Piaf is the most uneven of them all. I've had similar problems with other yellow polishes, not just Zoya. It makes me...
