Zoya’s Dove

Zoya’s Dove

Posted on Wednesday, at

A high shine finish, good formula, and excellent coverage. It applied smoothly, no streaks or thin patches. It's similar - but a little lighter - than China Glaze's Pelican Grey.

Take Zoya's Adina, but make it a 2 or a 3 in terms of opacity. At three coats, this definitely shows VNL so it's best used as a top coat or an effects coat…unless you're really looking for an edgier version of a French manicure. This is almost a cousin of...

BareMinerals’ Buxom Babes Swinger Girls kit

BareMinerals’ Buxom Babes Swinger Girls kit

Posted on Tuesday, at

I generally love these “mini” kits: they let me get more colors for the same amount of money, and have a better shot at actually using them up before they’ve gone bad, than buying two full-size Buxoms. This was the first mini-kit that I owned none of the colors,...

Concrete Minerals’ Naughty and Nice kit

The “companion” to the Sugar and Spice kit, released for the 2011 holiday season. I liked seeing this because while I owned all of these colors, I hadn’t though to pair them up this way. (Everyone falls into habits, which can become ruts…so seeing different ways to pair up...

Fyrinnae’s Curiouser and Curiouser

Fyrinnae’s Curiouser and Curiouser

Posted on Monday, at

I think this is the only color from the 2009 Mad Tea Party collection that is still sold by Fyrinnae. (The other that I think I've seen is We're All Mad Here; the others, including Ravens & Writing Desks and Painted Roses and Treacle Well, all haven't been in Fyrinnae's inventory...

Excellent color payoff - better than many mid-range browns. I don't personally know that I'd use this one as a liner shade, simply because I prefer either deeper liner colors or bold bright shades. I think this would work easily as a regular color because it's a lighter brown, but...

My Pretty Zombie’s Miasma

My Pretty Zombie’s Miasma

This is definitely one of the lighter, least-pigmented shades I've purchased from MPZ. Dry, it's a very pale, semisheer yellow near-matte with very light but even pigmentation. Wet application gets a little bit more pigmentation and enhances the color a bit, but there's still no shimmer finish. I've gotten best...

This was a mismixed batch of Antique Silver - one that came from the supplier, and didn't quite match previous batches of Antique Silver - so it was renamed and sold as a limited edition color. Dry, it shows up as a darker charcoal. I can see using this as...

MAC’s Smoky Berry Crushed Metallic Pigment Stack kit

MAC’s Smoky Berry Crushed Metallic Pigment Stack kit

Posted on Sunday, at

My second MAC pigment stack. I think I’m developing a slight addiction problem!! This was available with two other pigment stacks, some lip color sets, and a brush set in the Dazzlesphere collection from MAC, for the 2011 winter holidays. I passed on the other two pigment stacks because I...

MAC’s Surf the Ocean Crushed Metallic Pigment Stack kit

MAC’s Surf the Ocean Crushed Metallic Pigment Stack kit

Posted on Sunday, at

The first MAC pigment stack that I bought…I fell in love with the dark blue-green Graphite (which is oddly named, but a gorgeous shade.) There was another pigment stack sold with this collection, but it was warmer and sandy colors, so I passed. I liked the combination of cool...
