BareMinerals’ Cha-Cha

BareMinerals’ Cha-Cha

Posted on Monday, at

This color was actually released during the 2010 holiday season, and added to the regular line of loose powder shadows in summer of 2011. It's a strawberry pink near-pearl finish with a sparse, faint gold shimmer. In certain lights this color looks almost like a coral-salmon. This is similar to Strawberry Daquiri,...

Fyrinnae’s Enchanting Otters

Fyrinnae’s Enchanting Otters

Posted on Thursday, at

A wonderfully rich, deep emerald green. There's no blackening, so this can't be used as a dramatic liner shade as easily as Aromaleigh's Drama Green (unless you apply this shade over a damp black gel liner.) It really works best for me either as an all-over shade, an outer-vee or...

BareMinerals’ Vision in Velvet kit

BareMinerals’ Vision in Velvet kit

Posted on Tuesday, at

This monster-kit was part of the 2012 holiday release, and was one of the few kits that still contained the loose-powder shadows exclusively. (More and more of the kits were made up of the Ready shadows and blushes this year…which meant that I was far less tempted, so yay for...

Aromaleigh v2’s Mneme

Aromaleigh v2’s Mneme

Mneme works as a softer all-over shade, but is bright enough to make a nice subtle highlighter shade as well. I like how the finish is right on the borderline of being a dulled pearl. You get the reflectivity and light-catching properties without an obvious shimmer. The color payoff is...

This color is described as a “brown-based coral”, like pinked clay. When I went to buy the color during the supersale on mattes (before the Massive Reformulation) this color wasn't originally marked as on sale. When I asked, I was told that the batch was not true to color. I...

Fyrinnae’s Ravishing Red Wolf

Fyrinnae’s Ravishing Red Wolf

Posted on Monday, at

No, you're not hallucinating. Yes, this looks red in the pot and applies almost purple. Released as part of the Endangered collection in 2012, this color…is a little confusing. It definitely looks burgundy in the pot. When I swatched this, I had to check a few times to make sure...

Beauty Blogging 101: PR Tiering

Beauty Blogging 101: PR Tiering

Posted on Sunday, at

I think that when marketers find ways to get things noticed – that is, when they find tools to do their job – they’ll use any and all channels available to them. If this beauty blogger tiering system is in widespread use, the tide seems to have gone even further in...

My storage system: ArtBin’s Super Satchel Slim

Posted on Saturday, at

The Super Satchel Slim 8-compartment containers are 15.25 inches wide by 14 inches high, by 2 inches deep. One of the rows holds 17 standard 10-gram jars, if none of the subdivider inserts are used. (If you put them in just the right places, you can still get 17 jars in a row with one...
