Maybe you've noticed how I say, for certain items, that I'll buy them again…but only through e-tailers because the containers aren't sealed? Okay - so here's another horror story of sorts. I went to a nearby drugstore and was eyeballing their L'Oreal Infallible colors because I wanted to get...
Sirvinya sent me my first Sleek palettes as gifts. Then I hit the site and bought myself several…and this was one of them My favorite colors in this palette are the cardinal-red shimmer (Upper-3), the burgundy shimmer (Lower-1), the pink-tan duochrome shimmer (Lower 5) and the pink-gold shimmer (Lower 6). The...
The last “kit” introduced on the Etsy store before the entire outfit relaunched on its own domain. I think this was in the second order I placed with Concrete Minerals. I wasn’t too sure about the pale blue shade (Daydream); but the red (Hearts) and the brown (Mad Hatter)...
Zoya describes all of these colors as “metallic”. I think that some of the colors, Tao and Marina in particular, look very much like some metals - but I don’t know that I’d call all of these polishes metallic. They’re a high-shine quasi-shimmer, but not what I...
Awfully brushstrokey (dang it!!) but a gorgeous shade. The color and metallic finish mean that if this isn't the perfect manicure shade, it's great for nail stamping. Without a top coat of some sort, this is fairly fragile and prone to scratching and chipping.
I was hoping that this would be a dark royal purple with some holographic effects. It's actually closer to a dark navy blue, almost black. The holographic effects aren't very visible, even after the four coats for complete opacity. There is a slight - very slight - purple duochrome. But...
Can I be brutally honest? (Well, of course I can.) I stayed far, far away from this entire collection when it originally came out. It seemed that everyone was falling all over themselves to jump on any glitter polish, and my admittedly limited experience with glitter polishes had taught me...
I think I may have found my favorite “my lips but better” lipstick! This is racked with the “browns”, but to my eyes it's right on the borderline of brown and mauve. (It's the warmest brown shade in the Le Rouge line.) The consistency is excellent, as is the coverage...
Pretty enough color…but not all that thrilling a pink, and this formula doesn't last long to boot. I don't necessarily regret getting this lipstick, but I won't be getting this corresponding color in the Black Label lipsticks. It's almost a little to bright and “girly” for my preferences -...
