The shimmer is very light; but the pigmentation levels are good. I love this shade! It's one of the better performers in the Darksider collection, in my opinion: not much shimmer, but better payoff than EJPCreations (the other deep red I bought from this collection.) This shade enhances blue eyes...
I know the video title says "In the Garden of Souls" - ignore that. That's the title of the album that this track is on. The song is called "Unbecome." It's by Vas, the duo of Azam Ali and Greg Ellis. They're often compared to Dead Can Dance, both because...
Aromaleigh (v2) released some limited-edition collections, then started building their regular “stock” line…then released a pair of LE collections, this and one with Pantone-inspired colors. I was less interested in the Pantone collection, but ended up getting just over half of the shades in this Moulin Rouge collection. (I...
A very soft nude shade on my lips. I honestly don't know if this has the same staying power as the red and pink Black Label lipsticks, whose color I can actually see, or if part of the suspected “fade” is the shimmer blotting off over the hours but the...
<p>This color isn't sheer or even semisheer, though when foiled the color's a little softer than I expected. It does stay in place fairly well. There are hints of gold shimmer that are more apparent when foiled than when applied dry.
There's a slight olive-ish tinge to this color. I don't know if that means that the color has warm undertones, but…it's an interesting color. It isn't quite as deep as I'd expected, but it's not actually bright, but it isn't what I'd personally call “deep.” The shimmer is pretty...
Another shade where the promised shimmer doesn't quite materialize. There's more of a slight pearl finish when the color is foiled, and extremely scattered bits of the shimmer when applied dry. The color payoff is fairly good. It's a medium-soft orange-red with hints of pink. I wish that the shimmer...
I purchased this on an impulse at Ulta. I hadn't seen swatches of it on the web, otherwise…I may not have bought it. When I saw the bottle, I thought it was a black (or at least a darker) base color with multicolored sparkles. In actuality, the color is...
A really lovely teal-blue-green base color, this one caught my eye and went on my “must have” list the instant I saw the photos on Scrangie's blog! While I like the different holographic collections that have come out - particularly the linear holographics - most of them have had medium...
This was another customer-named collection, with customers contributing their favorite “summer pleasures” on the company forum. I hadn’t been on the forum in quite a while, so wasn’t aware that they were holding a contest. (The name I contributed was chosen for last year’s “Simple Pleasures” collection.)...
