Zoya’s Natty

Zoya’s Natty

Posted on Sunday, at

Natty is the color I'd hoped that Cynthia (from last year's fall collection) would be. It's a medium-deep teal blue, not so dark as to nearly be black (or at least a deep navy). I got full coverage with two coats, and application was straightforward. The brush was a little...

Shiro Cosmetics’ This Is Halloween collection

Shiro Cosmetics’ This Is Halloween collection

Posted on Sunday, at

Another indie Halloween offering - available as a whole collection or as individual colors, so if you only want one or two you can get them. Shiro also gives you lots of other options: all full sizes; fullsize eyeshadows and mini lipgloss; mini eyeshadows and fullsize lipgloss; or all minis....

Zoya’s Evvie

Zoya’s Evvie

Posted on Sunday, at

Almost a softened evergreen color…this isn't a jeweltone green, it's only slightly greyed. I love all of the colors from Zoya's Designer collection, but Evvie is my second-favorite. (Natty being my absolute favorite, but Evvie runs a close second.) The color applies smoothly and is nicely durable, with an...

Beauty from the Earth’s Bite Me Halloween 2012 kit

Beauty from the Earth’s Bite Me Halloween 2012 kit

Posted on Sunday, at

I just recently got heavily into Beauty from the Earth (I totally blame cultoftaupe) - and I got on board just in time for the release of their 2012 Halloween kit! The first 100 available for pre-sale included a put of lip gloss along with the five eyeshadows. There are three colors...

Saturday Soundtrack: Myth (Delerium feat. Joanna Stevens)

Saturday Soundtrack: Myth (Delerium feat. Joanna Stevens)

Posted on Saturday, at

Lately I'm on a Delerium kick. I've purchased two more of their albums and been listening to them as I write code, as I crop and size my photos for this site, and as I slog through all the HOA board-president stuff. (What a nasty hectic year this has been.)...

BareMinerals’ Five-Star Blush

BareMinerals’ Five-Star Blush

Posted on Friday, at

The shade is very attractive, but it's REALLY sheer. Yes, I know this is a blush, and one wants a blush to be a softer color instead of something hard-edged and potentially clownish; but I've gotten rather spoiled by great companies like Meow Cosmetics and Aromaleigh and Shiro Cosmetics, which...

Aromaleigh v2’s Morningashes

Aromaleigh v2’s Morningashes

Posted on Thursday, at

In the pot, you see an ashy medium-deep brown with blue. Applied, it's more of a browned charcoal. The color doesn't soften, it just…morphs! I've used this as a liner with some pretty good success. It won't get you the same level of definition that any dark black or...

Meow Cosmetics’ Catwoman

Meow Cosmetics’ Catwoman

Posted on Thursday, at

I put off getting this one because it looked like your standard stereotypical black semi-shimmer. Then when the colors were all being switched over from the 10-gram to the 5-gram jars…I went a little hog-wild. The pigmentation is good, but this isn't a dark solid black - more like...

OPI’s Designer De Better

OPI’s Designer De Better

Posted on Wednesday, at

Somewhat similar to Warm and Fozzie and Shim-mery Chic, in that it has multicolored glitters. (I actually like this look, but if I only had it described to me I'd have sworn that I wouldn't be interested in it!) The main color is a silver-grey, and the finish is metallic...
