I agree with TKB's description that says that this is a complex color. Overall first impression is cement-mauve or warm grey…but that's not quite right. The pink and mauve are definitely more visible in certain lights, and fronted when this mica is applied damp. This is another straight mica...
I was attracted to the color and shimmer of this one - the SA told me that it was semisheer, so I knew about that aspect of the color before I purchased it. I was able to get full coverage in three coats. I suspect that it be a perfectly...
Not too many companies do blues in this range, it seems…even if they otherwise have lots of blues in their inventory. Brights, neons, navies, jeweltones, if a company has blue nail polish those are the shades you're apt to find. But not this shade. Not so much. One of...
This was in my first purchase from My Pretty Zombie. In fact, this is what got me to buy from My Pretty Zombie in the first place! I saw a swatch of this on another beauty blog, and fell in love. Duochrome blushes aren't all that prevalent…and here was...
The shimmer is definitely muted, on dry application; and is even a bit softer on wet application than it appears in the pot. Compared to Aladdin's Lamp, which displays a warm red-silver-gold shimmer even applied dry, this color's performance is almost sedate. It's nice, though, to have a straight mica...
The shades from the Alice's Chains collection didn't really appeal to me much. I'm not quite sure why - perhaps because they were mostly warmer shades, when I tend to prefer neutral and favor cool shades? Alice's Chains contained a bright orange, a medium-bright yellow-green, a warm fuchsia, and this...
I bought from Rockeresque when they first opened, a full year ago. I've placed a handful of orders with them, I've watched their inventory slowly grow, and they seem to have maintained the publicity-momentum, lining up some excellent photo shoots. Their packaging is excellent, and if you're into the image...
I tend to be leery of nude lip colors. They sometimes work well on me, and sometimes just disappear. This almost disappears, but does leave a slight tan-gold shimmer on my lips. It's similar, in many ways, to the Iced Mocha Round Lipstick and the Chrome and Pearl eyeshadows of...
I love indie eyeshadows, blushers, and foundation…but some products (like mascaras and lipsticks) most indies don't do, or don't do often. I loved Aromaleigh's lip balms and tints (and they're doing pre-orders for Melancholia right now!!!), and I've tried lipsticks from Morgana Cryptoria and Fyrinnae's lip lusters; but I...
The shimmery counterparts to Zoya’s Beach collection. I liked the look of these polishes a bit better than the mostly-creme Beach colors, but in an interesting turn of events, I own more colors from Beach than from Surf. When adding in the sparkle, Zoya amped up some of the...
