Really gorgeous deep blue-green that has enough color depth and payoff to work as a liner shade. The shimmer finish is low-key; all the attention is on the color itself…which is an amazing color! I think this is one of my favorite greens. It's like China Glaze's Emerald Fitzgerald...
A medium-light shade with warm undertones. Some reddish purples have too much red for me to wear well, but this one is cool enough that I just have to be careful about what colors I pair it with: wear it with something else red, and it'll warm the color up...
This is almost a dark pink…or a light clear (but not soft) red. It's bright without being screamingly so (ironic, for a color named after a toucan!) and the color payoff for me is the same whether it's applied wet or dry. The shimmer is very faint, and shows...
This is on the lighter side for a liner shade. Would make a good “natural” liner color, rather than a dramatic bold deep brown. I've been able to easily wear this as an all-over color as well, though it works better as a crease or dark-accent shade. Oddly enough, when...
This is a gorgeous color! Not too dark a blue, not too pale, enough weight to make a good liner but not so dark that you wonder, “Is it navy or is it another black?” I held off on getting any fluidliners for a long time - and then this...
I freely admit, I'm a latecomer to the NYX makeup scene. I got my final nudge when Phyrra swatched a whole bunch of lipsticks, including several NYX Round lipsticks. I made my first order from Cherryculture, including two eye pencils (originally in rather tame shades: Iced Mocha, and Strawberry Milk.)...
This color was cooler than most of the other shades in the collection - and since I tend to actually look good in plum- and purple-toned blushes (while some folks can't even wear berry-toned blushes easily) I had to try this one out. I loved the sample enough that I...
Five Lipsurgence pencils in lip tint and lip luster - the formulas that are sheer or semisheer, and don’t last nearly as long. Still, if you’ve wanted to try the Liplusters and didn’t know which shade to choose - or don’t mind semisheer lip colors -...
This is actually the first of two “Nostalgia” collections - though when the second one will be released is still up in the air. It’s kind of neat to see this collection come out, though - almost a year after the launch of Lost in Makeupland. I’ve bought...
This collection came out shortly after OPI’s summer of discontent, when it was suing etailers for selling its products without having a retail agreement with OPI…and it was also suing bloggers for posting promo pics of up-and-coming OPI collections. They were claiming that posting such pictures gave other...
