OPI’s Van-couvered In Snow

OPI’s Van-couvered In Snow

Posted on Wednesday, at

A lot of other folks had mentioned the semisheer nature of this polish, but for whatever reason I was able to get full coverage with just three coats - not the four that I expected to use. (Then again, my nails were fairly short, and if you look carefully you...

Sleek Makeup’s Me Myself and Eye i-Divine Palette

Sleek Makeup’s Me Myself and Eye i-Divine Palette

Posted on Tuesday, at

Becky/Sirvinya bought this for me and sent it over as part of our semiregular makeup exchange. I was looking forward to this as soon as it was announced, but overall I think it’s one of Sleek’s lesser offerings…at least among its i-Divine palettes. It’s not...

My Pretty Zombie’s Darksider eyeshadow collection

My Pretty Zombie’s Darksider eyeshadow collection

Posted on Tuesday, at

A collection of eyeshadows dedicated to other Etsy sellers in Team Darkside. The colors are mostly deeper, richer shades, but not uniformly so - Custom Zombie is a softer greyed blue, Monstrous Industry is a lilac-blue, and Lulu Cupcake is tulip-pink.

TKB Trading’s Ballad Blue

TKB Trading’s Ballad Blue

Posted on Monday, at

Looks almost like faded denim - not the nearly-white stuff that's sold in stores (and charged for exhorbitantly) but where the piece has been washed a lot and the entire color has softened significantly. This is a straight mica with no added base mix to help with adhesion, so it...

Everyday Minerals’ I Do Declare

Everyday Minerals’ I Do Declare

Posted on Monday, at

There's barely any shimmer to this at all…but the color payoff is excellent. This is dark enough for lining - in fact, I have to use a light hand when using this as a contour shade because it's so pigmented. This is a dark brown, but it's not a...

Lost in Makeupland’s Expensive

Lost in Makeupland’s Expensive

Posted on Monday, at

I have other golds…but none that quite match this color. They're deeper, they're brighter, they're warmer, they change between silver and gold…but none quite this shade. Expensive is almost a cool good. It seems to have green tones in it. The opacity is just a little lighter than...

Rockeresque Beauty’s Platinum Blonde

Rockeresque Beauty’s Platinum Blonde

Posted on Monday, at

Much more silver-platinum than blond, with a slight metallic finish. The color payoff isn't the best, when applied dry, and it doesn't build easily. Not one of the better offerings from Rockeresque. I can see this being used as a soft highlighter shade for brow and inner eyelid, but it...

BareMinerals’ December

BareMinerals’ December

Posted on Sunday, at

Again, sparkle seemed to be minimal in this color - but at least the sparkle was a bit denser than the finish in June. This looks very much like Bridezilla, available from My Pretty Zombie. The coverage is okay - not semisheer, but could stand to be just a little...

BareMinerals’ November

BareMinerals’ November

Posted on Sunday, at

In the pot, this looked like a dead ringer for Concrete Minerals' Smut. Applied…it softened quite a bit, and cooled down also. The end result was a dusty medium-light violet with a bit of shimmer. The color is attractive, and the payoff is decent, but it's very much not...

BareMinerals’ October

BareMinerals’ October

Posted on Sunday, at

A slightly cooler, shimmery version of BE's Magical. The shimmer is nearly nonexistent, and while the color is rich, it isn't the Very Best Pigmentation Level I've seen ever. It isn't semisheer, but the dry application is just a little soft. This is just warm enough that if you can...
