Lost in Makeupland’s Lazy Sunday

Lost in Makeupland’s Lazy Sunday

Posted on Tuesday, at

This was one of the first colors I actually tried from Lost in Makeupland…but it's taken me this long to 1) buy it full-sized and 2) write it up. This is more of a softening or blending shade, or something to use when you want a hint of color. It won't...

Aromaleigh v2’s Sonia

The deepest blue in this collection. The coverage is good, but the color payoff isn't what I expect from deeper shades from Aromaleigh. The shimmer is very faint, in this - the color is almost more of a soft frost than an actual shimmer. The shade works very well for...

This color will really surprise the heck out of you! The medium brown with just the faintest hints of warmth, a bit like the main brown color in OPI's Warm and Fozzie. There is blue and purple shimmer lightly mixed in, sparse enough that you don't get a full shimmer...

Compared to MAC's Platinum pigment, this color is just a little softer. So you get the metallic effect, the silver-and-gold, but it's not as…er…is it wrong to use the adjective “brassy” anywhere near something called Platinum? Or did I just create a new alloy? I've got a couple...

I would call this a metallic finish, because it's so very reflective...but it's also very broken. In my personal taxonomy system, metallic finishes are smooth (or, at the very least, smoother) and sparkly finishes are about as reflective as metallic finishes, but they've got more texture to them. This...

OPI’s Warm and Fozzie

OPI’s Warm and Fozzie

This is almost a warmer version of Shim-merry Chic, minus the flakies. It's a metallic warm red-brown base, with larger bits of red, gold, and orange glitter. It took four coats to get complete coverage, but I love this polish! (I've also gotten some backups, so that I don't have...

Meow Cosmetics’ Grandiloquent

Meow Cosmetics’ Grandiloquent

Posted on Monday, at

Deep bronze - not quite black, but a dark rich brown. There's a good amount of shimmer finish, and the color payoff is excellent. This is what I always hope for from Meow Cosmetics, but so often wasn't seeing: a color that actually delivered on the promise of rich, deep...
