Very soft, definitely sheer, a notch or two above a finishing powder in terms of pigmentation. The gold sheen is there, but soft - it's easy to layer this over your favorite blush to add a gentle pinkish glow with the barest trace of highlighting. In some ways it reminds...
I don't know if it's NYX, or my color perception, or some other factor...but it seems like a lot of NYX lip colors whose names suggest a deep or vampy red, have an almost hot-pink tinge. Instead of this being what I think of as a "pinup" red, the...
This is not one of my favorites from this collection. The color itself is very nice, and it applies more rose than brown. I like the shade and the shimmer. What I'm less wild about is its sheer nature, and its lack of adhesion. If this were just a little...
A brighter blue, but not so vivid a color that it's neon or ‘strobing' blue. Like most of the eyeshadows I review from TKB, this is straight mica, so apply it wet and over a primer and possibly a shadow base, or it will migrate and crease like nobody's business....
The cool version of MPZ's Law Firm Lamb Cake. The sparkle shows up far better when applied dry...at least for the ones I received. In one of the pots, the blue had separated a bit from the white, and so I had to re-mix the color or I had...
Initially I wasn't sure about getting this color. From the vendor photo, I couldn't tell if this was a dark blue, or a dark green. Turns out it's a bit of both… This color's right on the borderline between a dark blue with slate tones, and a dark blue with ...
Unlike Sally Hansen's Lime Lights - another sheer green nail polish - this green doesn't have an iridescence to it, its green is softer, and the texture looks a bit rough. I like Lime Lights better. I'm not totally sure how I might use this polish, unless it's as a...
This color shifts back and forth from “pinked beige” to “beige pink” depending on what colors are around it. Unlike the colors in the Touch collection, which sadly have just the slightest chalky feel to them, Kennedy and the others in this collection apply fairly easily and evenly. They wear...
In the past year, I’ve picked up a whole lot of Stila eyeliners! I’ve definitely sampled every type that they currently sell - the sparkle liners, the liner pens, the smudge sticks. This duo caught my eye because of the colors and the finish. While there are a...
Persephone Minerals has shut down for the forseeable future…but I still have a good chunk of colors that I got from them in fall and winter 2011, and I intend to share the swatches. There are some lovely colors - lots of duochromes and duotones. So naturally the first color...
