Shiro Cosmetics’ My Nerdy Valentine collection

Shiro Cosmetics’ My Nerdy Valentine collection

Posted on Tuesday, at

Originally released for Valentine’s Day 2012, this collection was later simply dissolved, as its new eyecolors were all renamed and moved to the Super Effective collection. I picked up the three eyecolors when they first came out, and was wavering on the blushes…but the blushes didn’t get folded...

Scaredy Cat Cosmetics’ Rose Gold

Scaredy Cat Cosmetics’ Rose Gold

Posted on Monday, at

I got a color named Rose Gold from Bare Escentuals, but it's much more gold than rose. Since actual rose (or red, or pink) gold used in jewelry is an alloy of gold and bronze, and the color does vary according to the ratios used in the alloy, neither of...

Pure Luxe’s Ultraviolet

Pure Luxe’s Ultraviolet

I snagged this color because of the shade, because it was part of the Liner Ultimates collection (and therefore likely to have a decent color payoff), and because it was on sale because it's being discontinued. This is right on the border between blue-purple and purple-blue - it seems to...

Meow Cosmetics’ Sourpuss

Meow Cosmetics’ Sourpuss

Posted on Monday, at

A dusty deep olive with a lilac duochrome tone that only really shows up when this color is foiled…along with the gilded finish. This looks vaguely like an eyeshadow version of Wet n Wild's Grey's Anatomy, but muted. Looking at the manufacturer's image and description you'd never get the...

So dark a blue it's almost a blackened teal. Similar to Light My Sapphire, in that they're both almost indistinguishable from black nail polish…except in full sun. It's a little bit disappointing, because I was hoping for a dark teal, not a teal-toned near-black! I suppose I could try...

Initially I wasn't too sure about this color, but I'm glad I picked it up. It's a softer pastel without being a pure pastel (...if that phrase even makes any sense.) Application is very smooth, the finish is good, and it wears well. (I got three days with no peeling...

Zoya’s Kristen

Zoya’s Kristen

Posted on Sunday, at

One of the first colors from the Feel collection that caught my eye. Kristen is a softer, paler version of Caitlin. The polish is a creme, and it covers in two coats with no thinner patches, and it covers evenly and easily with no rough patches. I also didn't have...

BareMinerals’ Festive

BareMinerals’ Festive

Posted on Sunday, at

Looks like a softened army green in the pot, but applies as a dusty lilac with green undertones. I personally like the effect, but if one is rushing about the morning routine, grabbing colors for the day…this can be more than a little bit disconcerting. It isn't that the...
