Right on the border between pink and purple - I think it will show as one or the other depending on your coloring, lighting, and possibly the planetary alignment. It isn't so light that it's almost white, but it is a very very light color. It's a bit too pigmented...
I kind of wish that this color didn't have the blackened base - it would be a lovely green all on its own. I think that, because of the blackening, this would work decently as an accent color for a smokey eye; and that it will make a better eyeliner...
As it turns out, this is a fairly decent set of brushes. They travel well, and there's only one brush in there that's not very useful to me: the fan brush. (I'll probably figure out how to use that in six or seven years.) The rest are really nice, a...
A pretty shade, almost like a lighter version of Sardonic…but surprisingly less color payoff than I would have expected from a MAC pigment. I got a chance at this color through someone's blog sale (along with Dazzleray and Helium) and I think I might have purchased this one if...
Lots of companies seem to put out an eyeshadow shade with a brown base and a blue or green iridescent shimmer; but not all of them have this amount of color payoff when the color's applied dry. Some of them also seem to put the iridescence over a lighter brown...
I'm still a bit timid with frankening things, but I have gotten more comfortable with replicating something that someone else has done. Like this. Sparkly duochrome hair!! This is an excellent idea, it's easy to do, and Jesse's Girl products are inexpensive anyway (and available at several nearby drugstores.)
This almost looks like a red-brown, sometimes. It's vaguely similar to Artifact, except that it's got less red and no metallic finish. When I asked Stila Cosmetics if they were going to add a maroon their liners, this was almost the color I was thinking of. (I'd like to see...
I kind of wish that this color didn't apply as sheerly as it does. It's a semisheer rich violet with a blue flash. It reminds me of a darker, deeper version of Benefit's Purple Snap (which is also semisheer.) I haven't tried applying this one over a primer yet, so...
One of the reasons I haven't tried scented items from internet stores is that I'm very picky about what scents I like. I also don't know how to judge scents, from online descriptions. Scented things are definitely something that I personally still have to buy IN PERSON. As intriguing as...
I like this because it's got just a slight bit of color, just the barest red-pink iridescent finish…but not too strong for either. It's a cooler, slightly richer red, but it isn't overly bright or vampy. The coverage is buildable, if you want more color. (I also like that...
