Stila has most of their products in this shade. It's a great versatile shade, it's very pretty…but I can't really see it working on my lips. As a lip primer? Well…maybe. But I personally don't use lip primers that much. I can see this being a good foundation...
This is a bold, vivid red. It's just a tiny bit too strong for me - I prefer Rouge, which is close to the same color depth but not quite as bright. This was one of the original Pretty Amazing shades, and I decided against trying it when I got...
In celebration of a cool contest by a mineral makeup vendor whose products I really like, I'm hosting a giveaway of my own: one ramdonly-chosen commenter will receive a brand new, sealed 30-gram jar of Meow's Purrfect Puss foundation in Frisky Chausie. I've used Meow's foundation for almost three years,...
This is one of my favorite Lipsurgence colors!! And, dang it, it's only available in their holiday kit Lip Service. It isn't matte (the mattes tend to have the best color payoff) but it shows up very well, adds a good pop, and stays in place better than most of...
I grabbed this color when it showed up in the Bye Bye Buys page. Pure Luxe's Liner Ultimates tend to have a better color payoff than the regular shadows (possibly because they're less base mix, more mica? Who knows…) At any rate, this cost me $3 for the pot, with all...
I was kind of hoping that this would be a close match for Aromaleigh v1's Drama Purple, which I utterly missed a chance to buy. Volta is a dark purple, with minimal shimmer. I think the base color is close to Drama Purple, but there's not the metallic finish...
It looks almost mauve in the tube, but definitely applies as a light pink. It's somewhat similar to MAC's Helium, but unlike that shade, High Shine Ice is not discontinued. The High Shine colors also cost quite a bit more per ounce than the MAC pigments, though. (And…what silly...
This seems to be one of the “staples” that lots of MAC pigment users have in their collection. I wasn't too interested in adding it, but finally bought it. It's a near-matte finish, which generally doesn't thrill the daylights out of me…but this is a nicely opaque color and...
