Aromaleigh v2’s Regulus

Meow Cosmetics’ MILF

Another color that had so much promise…but really didn't deliver when applied. There's a little more pigmentation to this than there is to OMG, and more even coverage than LOL; but the eyeshadow still loses so much in translation from “pretty sparkly powder sitting in the pot” to “thinnish...

Meow Cosmetics’ OMG

This is one of the shades that sheers down A LOT. There's a little sparkle when it's foiled, but…sadly, this particular eyeshadow just doesn't do a whole lot for me. The coverage is very thin, the pigmentation is a bit on the sheer side…definitely among the “glitter bomb”...

OPI’s Give Me The Moon

The general overall tone of reviews I read about this color was…“meh”. People weren't thrilled, but they weren't mad at themselves for spending money on this polish, either. Sure, a few really liked it, and a few really disliked it, but there wasn't a strong overall “fan” or “hater”...

OPI’s I Don’t Give a Rotterdam

The slightly cooler version of the two blues in this collection. Herring Problem is more of a teal-blue, with gold flakies. They're both awfully similar, though, so if you're not an aficionado of blue nail polish you can quite easily own one or the other and be perfectly happy. Coverage...

Concrete Minerals’ Pro Mattes collection

Released in spring 2012, these thirteen eyeshadows contain FDA-cosmetic-approved lakes and dyes…so these are along the lines of Aromaleigh v1’s Rocks! Sonic Eyes, in that they’re a hybrid cosmetic. (Some people are allergic to FD&C dyes - and many of these dyes can temporarily stain skin...

Stila’s Sparkle Luxe Gloss collection

These were introduced in spring 2012…and were headed out the door almost as quickly. When I found several in the Last chance section, I bought a few, then a few more. And I kind of assumed that these had been part of the line for a while. They’re a...

Meow Cosmetics’ BT Dubs

Emphasis on “sheer” here! This eyeshadow is almost like an eyeshadow version of BE's buxom Lauren. And sadly, this is another color from the Wild Child collection that's very very light when swatched. It's buildable, but it takes a lot of product to start approaching the shade that's represented in...

Meow Cosmetics’ Hacker

Meow Cosmetics’ LOL

This is a really attractive color! When I repotted it into my 10gram jars, I was really impressed with the sparkle and with the color. I was less than perfectly delighted when I swatched it, though. The color softens when applied dry - not a huge sin, since this happens...
