A good, solid, serviceable shade that companies seem to try to achieve…but don't, quite. Either they'll release a brighter silvery shade, or something that's a full on metallic, or a medium-deep grey. This one has a nice finish and adheres well. The one catch is that there's a little...
Software I've been fortunate enough to have access to, and some training on, Photoshop. Ever since 1994 when I was sharing a house with someone who worked at Adobe and who had minored in graphic design, I've used some version of Photoshop. Its ability to use image layers, tweak and manipulate...
Straightforward coral-pink with good pigmentation and a little more depth than is usually found in coral-pinks. The color most definitely isn't blackened, but it's not as bright as most other eyeshadows in this range - which is nice. It makes Nina stand out just a tiny bit. Color payoff is...
The color name and the actual shade are a serious mental disconnect: sunny day? red-pink? I'm trying to make some kind of connection, but failing. Aside from that, the color is good. The color payoff when applied dry is a little light, so you'll definitely want to foil this one...
Almost a semisheer color…I've used this as an all-over blending/wash shade, and as a highligher. It's got more of the metallic shimmer finish than actual yellow color, so it doesn't work on me as an all-over or even an accent shade.
A nice enough shade, but not such a great eyeshadow. Payoff is on the less-than-fantastic side of the line, even discounting the fact that it applies much lighter than it appears in the pot. It isn't a boring shade, but it's a lighter shade - really won't work for contouring,...
This almost looks like more of an ‘apricot' than a ‘peach' - and a ‘dried apricot' at that. The gold shimmer saves this color from being too dark-toned, but not dark enough. (I know that makes no sense. I'm fighting off a cold or strep throat or something nasty, so...
Not sure what was going through the minds of the naming department, during the creation of this entire collection: “Sunny Day” is pink? And so is “Lemon Drop”? And why is “Mimosa”...lavender? I haven't ever drunk, seen, or heard of a purple mimosa. Maybe I just haven't been to...
Speciallità is a nail polish brand from Brazil. They are not “big-3 free”, so folks with chemical sensitivities may want to steer clear. And currently, if you're not in South America (or some country that Speciallità ships to) you can get these polishes…for three times their price. (This is...
A nice not-quite-brown, not-quite-white metallic. It could possibly be used as a brow highlighter shade, if applied dry and sparingly - it's bright enough to highlight naturally, not bright enough to look clownish. Folks with deeper skintones may not be able to use this in quite the same way, but...
