A pale-grass green that I can actually wear!! It's a lighter shade, but doesn't really have strong yellow tones. Color payoff and opacity are good in dry application, and excellent when this shade is foiled. The color is a newer addition to the LiM lineup, and I can't recall too...
A cool medium-deep green shimmer - what my mother called “dollar bill green.” I've recently swatched two other greens, from other companies, that are similar but not quite exactly the same as this shade. I should do a comparison-photo of these three - because from my own swatches they're similar,...
Bubblegum pink with cool shimmer and excellent opacity. I always have a tiny concern that pink eyeshadows won't be fully opaque, and whenever I'm wrong I'm very happy. Medium pinks are often so soft that if they're not opaque, they wash out a lot more than other colors because they're...
On LiM's site, the color shows up as a dark almost-black with some red shimmer effects…which is exactly what I got. There's a bit more pigmentation than CM's Arsenic, and this color makes a great liner. It does leave behind a bit of sooty residue when I remove it,...
When this was announced, there was some speculation that it might be similar to Siahi. Turns out Midnight Blues is a near-exact match to Siahi, while Dark Envy is like a blackened version of Ivy (thanks to <a href=“http://karlasugar.net/2011/08/mac-me-over-new-black/mac-fluidline-comparison-ivy-siahi-midnight-blues-dark-envy/” target=“_blank”>Karlasugar</a>...
Another vibrant primary creme pencil color, another one that's not carried in most drugstores and channel partners, and another one that's perennially out of stock on just about every web site I've checked. (I hit Ebay and stocked up on this, Cherry, Hot Pink, Orange, and Electric Blue.) This is...
A very soft, sheer pink with a great cool pink iridescence. This blush doesn't necessarily put a lot of color on my cheeks, but it does add a little color. It's also great for layering over other blushes if you want to add an iridescent layer. I do wish that...
Phyrra had great things to say about these smokey eye pencils, so I tried one out. Then this set came out for the holidays, and I couldn’t pass up the chance to get six colors - including three metallics! These pencils have pros and cons (as does every product.)...
Update!! Shiro Cosmetics will be giving 30% off orders of $30 or more, with the code 30off30. Sale starts at midnight tonight! Meow Cosmetics opens its holiday shop with two new collections (and two more on the way), and all the collections from previous years: 12 Pains of Xmas (partridge in a pear...
Paired release in 2009 with the Sunless Sea collection: those were the softer, highlight shades, and these are the deeper shades. I think I remember these two originally being touted as “limited edition” releases, which I took to mean that they’d be back seasonally. They’ve been available continuously for...
