Make Up For Ever’s Aqua Cream 16

Make Up For Ever’s Aqua Cream 16

Posted on Monday, at

I like this color as a base simply because it is so neutral. The MUFE eye creams (Flash Color, Aqua Creme) all dry quickly, so I can't necessarily do multicolor looks atop one of these if I use it as my overall base color. The upside, though, is that they...

BareMinerals’ High Shine Moonshine

BareMinerals’ High Shine Moonshine

Posted on Monday, at

I'm not entirely sure why this color was named “Moonshine”, since it's purple… The consistency in mine was a little clumpier than my other High Shine colors. I had far better luck with application after I repotted the shadow and used a brush instead of the included (and, in my...

Saturday Soundtrack: See The Constellation (They Might Be Giants)

Saturday Soundtrack: See The Constellation (They Might Be Giants)

Posted on Saturday, at

This one's made up of stills and video segments from their Apollo 18 album. It isn't official, but sometimes the best videos on YT are the 'unofficial' ones. This version, also fan-made, cuts off a few bars at the end of the song - but it's nicely synchronized, and shows...well,...

NYX Cosmetics’ Diamond Sparkle Lipstick collection

NYX Cosmetics’ Diamond Sparkle Lipstick collection

Posted on Friday, at

These lipsticks are pretty much what they say on the tin: sparkly. When I apply them, I see a quasi-metallic shimmer, not large chunks of glitter. These also stay in place better than the round lipsticks. The downside is that these lipsticks feel a bit dry (not drying…but dry.)...

BareMinerals’ Nice Girl kit

BareMinerals’ Nice Girl kit

Posted on Thursday, at

Was released along with a companion kit - same makeup, but a slightly bolder palette. I was happy to get this kit mostly for Sincerely Angela and Pink Ice, both of which had been released only recently and were difficult to find.

I held off on getting any of these for a bit. Apparently I’ve got a love-hate relationship with purple nail polish I finally decided to get MarryJ after viewing some other nail bloggers’ swatches for about the fourth time, and added Areetha and Beyonnce to the cart after having...

I think that when I bought Pinta, I was hoping it would be this color. (It turned out to be a dark, dark purple, nearly black.) I don't know that I'll wear full manicures of this color often, but it's a good shade for nail stamping. The spreadability is good,...

OPI’s Designer Series Mystery

OPI’s Designer Series Mystery

This required four coats - not for full opacity, but because the holographic effects just weren't showing up. Under indoor lighting or even a daybulb, the color looks almost black. The dark purple can only be seen in sunlight, or if I only use two coats. This might also be...

Sally Hansen’s Opulent Cloud

A very interesting color: grey, taupe, gold metallic / frost. It's almost impossible to even find a bottle of this on Ebay - and when one does pop up, it's over $20. I lucked out and found a bottle in my local Walgreen's back in late spring 2010. This takes four coats to...

Make Up For Ever’s Aqua Cream 5

Make Up For Ever’s Aqua Cream 5

Posted on Tuesday, at

Maybe I applied it a little heavily; but this is almost too bright a color for me, for my lips. I wish that this color could be worn on my lids, because I think it would look great (a bit like Rubenesque, but a little brighter and with a touch...
