Zoya’s Celeste

Zoya’s Celeste

This is definitely a semisheer polish - possibly even a straight-out sheer. By Zoya's reckoning, this and most other shades in this collection are either a 3 or a 2. I used three coats and still didn't get full coverage. And…it's streaky. Not terribly, not as noticeably as the China Glaze...

Zoya’s Avery

Avery applies very smoothly, like the rest of the colors in the Feel collection. It's a neutral beige creme that appears to have hints of pink or gold, depending on lighting and surroundings. I can wear it without my hands looking red, which is a relief - because other Zoya...

I got this color fairly recently - as the Spells collection was on final-final-deep-discount clearance. I received a sample in one of the orders I had placed, and liked the way the color looked. (I'd never gotten the Spells collection in sample form - for whatever reason, the color grouping...

Aromaleigh v2’s Earth Sea Sky collection

Aromaleigh v2’s Earth Sea Sky collection

Shiro Cosmetics’ Cornucopia

Shiro Cosmetics’ Cornucopia

Posted on Monday, at

A really rich gold-yellow shimmer with excellent color payoff! The yellow isn't burnished-gold, like a gold coin; it's definitely a bright rich sun-gold. I plan on trying to use this as a liner shade, both tightlined and smudged out. I think the combination of a bright eyeliner and a medium...

Persephone Minerals’ Sparky

Persephone Minerals’ Sparky

Posted on Monday, at

Could be grey, or purple - could go either way. Reminds me a bit of Bare Escentuals' Disco or Marquise. The pigmentation is good, and the shimmer is apparent when applied wet or dry. The color is a bit darker when applied dry (actually, I guess that would partially be...
