Meow Cosmetics’ Catfight

Meow Cosmetics’ Catfight

Posted on Monday, at

Unlike Pussycat, which it closely resembles in the pot, this shade definitely has pigmentation. Catfight also shows a little bit more of the pearl finish…which is amusing and exasperating, since these colors are both from the IdealEyes collection. This can be a softer, dustier shade, though - like a...

MAC’s Emerald Dusk pigment

MAC’s Emerald Dusk pigment

Posted on Monday, at

This is Dark Envy in pigment form: deep cool dark green, utterly minimal (almost no) shimmer. There are definite blue notes in the color which are more visible when this is applied dry. Applied wet, I just got the dark evergreen shade, fewer overt blue tones. The color is deep...

Scaredy Cat Cosmetics’ Hirundo

Scaredy Cat Cosmetics’ Hirundo

Posted on Monday, at

Applied dry, the color and the finish are both softened a bit, especially when compared to how it appears in the pot. This color's too pigmented for use as a blusher - at least for me - but it's a lovely shade. I personally find that there more red in...

Eyes MAC Midnight Blues fluidliner — I didn't think I was a hardcore fluidliner fanatic, but then this year, so many great colors came out! Midnight Blues is a muted deep denim blue that shows the blue color without being a bright or garish blue. Midnight Blues is more of...

Stila’s Kitten smudge pot

Stila’s Kitten smudge pot

Posted on Saturday, at

Stila has Kitten-everything: Kitten lip color, Kitten eyeshadow, Kitten liquid eyeliner, Kitten primer-stuff…it's all over the place. (So much so that when I bought an eyeshadow product from another company, and they had a very similar color, I wondered why they didn't just call it “Kitten”. And then I...

NYX Cosmetics’ Jumbo Eye Pencil in Rust

NYX Cosmetics’ Jumbo Eye Pencil in Rust

Posted on Saturday, at

The pencil looks more red than the color actually applies. It's a metallic shade, which means that application is just a bit patchy. This shade looks really good with my coloring, but I do wish that the application was more even. I also wish that there was a metallic maroon...

Saturday Soundtrack: Another World (Beborn Beton)

This song is off a 1997 album (Truth) that's no longer easily available. I haven't checked iTunes to see if this song's there yet or not.

NYX Cosmetics’ Earthy Black Label Lipstick (117)

NYX Cosmetics’ Earthy Black Label Lipstick (117)

Posted on Friday, at

For all intents and purposes, this is a “nude shimmer” on me. I kind of like it by itself, when I want a little shimmer but not a gloss-level “shine.” I haven't tried layering it over darker lip stains like the deeper Pretty Amazing shades, so while that would work...

Meow Cosmetics’ Diva blush

Meow Cosmetics’ Diva blush

Posted on Friday, at

A slightly richer, more elegant color that shows up well, but isn't too dark. The red iridescent shimmer lightens the color without making it too bright, just adding a nice highlight effect. I'm a big fan of Meow's blushes: they're more pigmented than a lot of the big-name blushes like...

Zoya’s True collection

Zoya’s True collection

Posted on Thursday, at

Releasing early next week (available for pre-ordering beginning January 9, 2012) is Zoya’s winterspring collection “True”. I actually like that Zoya’s collections this past year have been a mix: some deeper colors, some brights, some glitters, some creams, some neutrals…it does Nail Files: Zoya’s Bevin (official photography)mean...
