BBAC 2011: Day Nine

BBAC 2011: Day Nine

Posted on Friday, at

They look like they're pretty much the same as the Interplanetary Traveller micas, but with a larger particle size - so that they're more of a sparkle effect than the shimmer. They do provide the same duochrome and iridescent effects, though - and there are only five Moon Dust powders,...

Urban Decay’s 24-7 Glide-on Pencil Travel Set - Electric

Urban Decay’s 24-7 Glide-on Pencil Travel Set - Electric

Posted on Thursday, at

Last year when I picked up the 24/7 Jackpot collection and compared them to Sephora’s Flashy Waterproof Liners, I determined that - as far as I’m concerned - Sephora’s Flashy Waterproof Liner pencils are a better value, and so I just won’t pay attention to Urban Decayâ€...

Meow Cosmetics’ VIP Blush collection

Meow Cosmetics’ VIP Blush collection

Posted on Thursday, at

The VIP stands for “Very Intensely Pigmented”. They can sweep on sheer, or build for a more pronounced effect. (So even though a part of me yearns to try Bombshell and Dame…I’m holding firm. Maybe they’d work as lip shades? Hey, now there’s a thought…) Most...

BBAC 2011: Day Eight

BBAC 2011: Day Eight

Posted on Thursday, at

Still…I do try new vendors. Some I only buy from the once, others I keep returning to their shop. Sometimes a vendor has offers so compelling, that I go just a wee tiny bit nutso. Such is the case with My Pretty Zombie. I had kind of been aware...

Zoya’s Gems and Jewels collection

Zoya’s Gems and Jewels collection

Posted on Thursday, at

Three full-coverage jeweltone metallics, and three bar-glitter polishes in corresponding colors. I am barely a fan of microglitter polishes, so that let three of these shades slide right off my “ever think about acquiring” list. The metallic shades looked good, though - and once I saw color plates of the...

China Glaze’s Eyes Like Sapphires

China Glaze’s Eyes Like Sapphires

Posted on Wednesday, at

This is an older China Glaze color, but I've still been able to find it - and most of the rest of the We Adorn You collection - at various etailers. It's a really gorgeous jeweltone blue!! It's also one of the older glass-fleck polishes I've seen from China Glaze ...

OPI’s Meet Me on the Star Ferry

OPI’s Meet Me on the Star Ferry

Posted on Wednesday, at

I debated about this color for quite a while, then eventually picked it up at an Ulta sale. (Yay for BOGO coupons…) The color is slightly similar to a few Zoya shades I have, but no exact matches. The mauve shade is a really flattering color with my skintone, and...

BBAC 2011: Day Seven

BBAC 2011: Day Seven

Posted on Wednesday, at

I now own all nine currently-available shades of this liner, and I'll be writing them up with swatch photos later on; but for now, a super-short review: Stila's Sparkle Waterproof liners are among the more costly items in my collection, they apply well, they do stay put, there's a good...

Zoya’s Areetha

Zoya’s Areetha

Posted on Wednesday, at

Areetha is a lovely metallic deep lilac. I get full coverage in just two coats, it dries quickly, and it wears well. But…damn. The spreadability sucks. I don't know if Areetha just has an older formula or if I got an off-batch, but this one's about as brushtrokey as...
