Aromaleigh v1’s Impossible Things

Aromaleigh v1’s Impossible Things

Posted on Monday, at

It's a lighter green with some yellow-ish tones, but it's more of an olive than a yellow-green. I don't know if it was the lighting, or if this is an intended effect, but it's kind of cool: this shade leans cooler when applied dry, and a little warmer when foiled....

Concrete Minerals’ Hustle

Concrete Minerals’ Hustle

Posted on Sunday, at

On the vendor site, this looks like a cool muted mauve, but to me, it looked more like a warm purple-mauve. I sometimes have a little trouble wearing warm purples on my lids, unless they're of a certain color depth. Bare Escentuals' Magical is a color that I never would...

Concrete Minerals’ Infinity

Concrete Minerals’ Infinity

This and Strobelight are close cousins, but if you have warm coloring, you'll probably be happier with how Infinity looks on you than Strobelight. Infinity leans aqua-ish, with the faintest suggestion of a metallic finish. Opacity and adhesion are both great, and the color applies true to how it looks...

Concrete Minerals’ Seance

Concrete Minerals’ Seance

Everyone needs this color in their collection. <strong>Everyone.</strong> It's similar to Bare Escentuals' Emotion, but without its pricetag (and difficult-to-find status). It's also similar to Concrete Minerals' own Ace of Knaves, except that a) AoK had a bit more sparkle; and b) AoK was limited edition. ...

Concrete Minerals’ Strobelight

Concrete Minerals’ Strobelight

This is almost like a light silvered slate blue. (Forgive me - my description-foo is failing me at the moment.) The base color is similar to BE's Praise, but this is just barely dustier, and has the great shimmer finish. (Praise is also somewhat chalky…this is nice and smooth!)...

Concrete Minerals’ Nocturne

Concrete Minerals’ Nocturne

Posted on Sunday, at

Deep forest-green with a faint shimmer finish. No blackening or sooty residue on this one, just lush deep color that applies well and stays put. What are the odds that, in the space of one week, I find two shades from one vendor that are near-matches for shades from another...

Concrete Minerals’ Souljourner

Concrete Minerals’ Souljourner

Even though I'm reviewing them a week apart, I swatched these two colors almost a month apart…so it wasn't until I was writing these up that I realized that they were nearly twins. On Concrete Minerals' site, the color looks like it will be a blackened navy-ish, almost similar...

Concrete Minerals’ Charm School

Concrete Minerals’ Charm School

Posted on Sunday, at

The not-entirely-natural light green with a good amount of shimmer. It isn't as opaque as many other CM shades, but it's not nearly as whisper-faint as light greens that I've seen from some other MMU companies who charge three or four times the price. I think this is a neutral...

Lost in Makeupland’s English Rose

Lost in Makeupland’s English Rose

Posted on Saturday, at

Super-pale pink with a very slight shimmer. It's got just enough opacity that it could be used for a finishing powder, a highlighter just about anywhere (eyes, face, you name it.) I've gotten several of LiM's highlighters, mostly for use on my lids. It's sheer enough to work as a...
