I took an interest in this color during my Atlanta trip, when <a href=“http://www.sirvinya.com” target=“_blank”>Sirvinya</a> looked at this color a few times before ultimately deciding not to get it. I finally did get it - when I got home. It's a...
Not a tan-gold like FYI - but definitely a yellow-gold. Two coats was nearly opaque, but not quite. 3 coats, or two coats over an opaque yellow-gold base, would cover up any VNL. You may or may not still be able to find the polishes from this collection at your local...
Most of these are sheer, or softer shades. I originally only bought Meadow from this collection, and wasn’t going to try any other colors. And then…I decided to get Poppy, because I didn’t have any medium corals in my collection and thought it would be a nice...
A collaboration between MPZ and Geek Chic Cosmetics, in honor of Phil and Chantel’s wedding, this set is a collaboration of four eyeshadows (two by Chantel, two by MPZ.) For the curious…yes, Bridezilla does remind me quite a lot of Aromaleigh v1’s Whitewedding. There’s a little...
This color is a deeper tanned gold, but the pink iridescence tips it over into the “slightly peachier” category. It gives a bit of depth but without being “just another brown.” This works surprisingly well with my coloring, though it's got enough yellow in the base color that I need...
This color looks much darker in the tube than it does when applied. That's almost a theme for the entire High Shine collection of colors, but it definitely proves out with shades like Patina and Electric. The green is a fairly neutral green, no overt blue or gold tones in...
There's a bit more rose than overt coral tones here - and I don't know how well this will work on me, as an eyeshadow. The color payoff is a little softer than I'd prefer, for an eyeshadow. On the other hand, it is a nice shade that works well...
Applied wet, there's more gilding than the yellow base color. Applied dry, you definitely see more of the yellow. So this won't work as a highlighter shade for me. I have tried putting it over dark cream shadows to see if I can get an effect that I really like....
Last year was a great year in terms of exploring new makeup, both indie and “corporate” - and I'm already looking forward to some new and new-to-me items for 2012!
Some blogs I'll be exploring this first week of 2012:
