Scaredy Cat Cosmetics’ Nevermore

Scaredy Cat Cosmetics’ Nevermore

Posted on Sunday, at

The pigmentation levels on this color seem to be a little on the lighter side, compared to blackened colors from other companies. I'd say this is about on par with Bare Escentuals' Rio, in terms of color payoff. This does have a little bit of blackening, but not a heavy...

Scaredy Cat Cosmetics’ Robin the Cradle

Scaredy Cat Cosmetics’ Robin the Cradle

Posted on Sunday, at

This is a very pale blue. I mean, really pale. There's a little bit of shimmer, but the pigmentation is a little lighter than other SCC colors and the color itself is very light. I've had the best luck - the results I was happiest with - using this as...

Review: Scaredy Cat Cosmetics

Posted on Sunday, at

The Store / The Site Your standard Etsy storefront, nothing wildly unique about that. As of this review, there aren't different collections of colors, so you can browse the categories by "everything" or "vegan" - and that's about it. Each of the colors has a very nicely-staged photo of the jar...

Sleek Makeup’s Monaco i-Divine Palette

Sleek Makeup’s Monaco i-Divine Palette

Posted on Saturday, at

Sirvinya brought this to me when she came to Atlanta recently, along with the Oh So Special and Caribbean palettes. My favorite shades in this palette are Midnight Garden (though I suspect that I have dupes for it - I’m thinking EDM’s Mystic Night), Sunset, Hummingbird, and Moorâ€...

Sleek Makeup’s Original i-Divine Palette

Sleek Makeup’s Original i-Divine Palette

Posted on Friday, at

I bought this palette and the Sunset and Chaos palettes at the same time from Sleek. I figured - since I have to pay so much for shipping, and pay the same shipping price for three or four palettes as for one, I may as well make the shipping cost...

Review: Lost in Makeupland

Review: Lost in Makeupland

Posted on Friday, at

As of late September 2011, I've made nearly a dozen purchases from Lost in Makeupland over the past - starting with a "sample pack", moving to some full-size eyeshadows, then eyeshadows, blushes, and some of her highlighters.

LaurEss’ Bloom with Creativity blush

LaurEss’ Bloom with Creativity blush

Posted on Friday, at

Gorgeous sheer lilac-mauve. It's very soft, it almost reminds me of some of BE's slightly more pigmented blushes. This color has minimal shimmer, and added a soft wash of color without the heavier “glow” that some blushes have. All of Sassy's products are “buy three full-size, get a 15% discount” -...

BareMinerals’ Insider Cheek Tint kit

BareMinerals’ Insider Cheek Tint kit

Posted on Thursday, at

I picked this up as part of my beauty haul while I was in Atlanta for Dragon*Con. I’d seen the kit come out a few months before, I’d gotten the Insider Color Shift kit, but wasn’t too sure I wanted this one. I caved when I...

Zoya’s Glitterati collection

Zoya’s Glitterati collection

Posted on Thursday, at

Six microglitter and sparkle polishes, in varying levels of opacity. I wasn’t too interested in these because of all the semisheer polishes and warmer tones in the opaque colors. (The ‘microglitter’ bit also had me a little concerned, until I tried my first Zoya microglitter and saw how smooth...

China Glaze’s Jitterbug

China Glaze’s Jitterbug

Posted on Wednesday, at

Almost exactly the same as Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous. Just a teeny bit darker, with slightly denser microglitter. But for me, China Glaze colors generally wear better and last longer than OPI colors…and they cost less, which is another bonus. (I also got full coverage in two coats with Jitterbug,...
