Milani Cosmetics’ HD

Milani Cosmetics’ HD

Posted on Wednesday, at

This and 3D (the gold holographic) were the first colors I bought from Milani's holographic collection. The holographic effects are more scattered - similar to the China Glaze Kaleidescope collection holos - and this one is a near-exact duplicate of Sexagon. The polish applies evenly, no bald spots, and I...

BareMinerals’ buxom Acapulco

BareMinerals’ buxom Acapulco

Posted on Tuesday, at

In some lights this color looks cooler than it appears on my lips. I actually didn't think I'd like this color, but it's become one of my favorites. Application is easy and clean, same as for all the Buxom Lip Sticks. In full sun you get much more of a...

BBAC 2011: Day Twenty-Four

BBAC 2011: Day Twenty-Four

Posted on Saturday, at

Celine has a pretty beige-gold base, with a pink duochrome sheen. The base color is almost a sepiatoned gold, kind of reminiscent of what I imagine might be used in 1920s-style Hollywood couture gowns. The duochrome sheen is a sheer softened magenta that looks really good with my skintone and...

NYX Cosmetics’ Jumbo Eye Pencil in Horseradish

NYX Cosmetics’ Jumbo Eye Pencil in Horseradish

Posted on Friday, at

Some yellow tones to this green, but not so much that I have problems wearing it. This pencil applies smoothly and evenly (which I've found not to always be the case, for NYX metallic pencils) and gives a nice spring-ish color without being too bright. I've seen this particular color...
