NYX Cosmetics’ Epic Wear Liquid Liner in Stone Fox

I’ve long been a fan of grey or charcoal eyeliners because they can provide definition without being as visually forceful as black eyeliner. This one gives me more color saturation, more definition…and cool undertones! Like all of the Epic Wear Liquid Liners, it’s easy to apply this...

ColourPop’s BFF Volumizing Mascara in Left on Red

I had a hard time getting most of the BFF Mascaras to hold onto my lashes, and there was a bit of transfer onto my lid; but this color was one of the shades where I most liked the effect. I eventually found that putting a coat of any of...

NYX Cosmetics’ Holographic Halo highlighter in Primal

ColourPop’s Lippie Stix in Sauce

This Matte X shade was released in early 2017. It’s a slightly softer midweight pink with cooler undertones. It has the typical Lippie Stix ease of application, but also - sadly - the lack of real longevity. (That’s mitigated somewhat by a good primer.)

Color Club’s Aura Energy collection

Six topper or effects polishes. Most require at least three coats for full opacity, many do better with four, though one - That’s The Spirit - is both a deeper shade and gives me full coverage with just two coats. I initially had no interest in these because I...

Color Club’s Slumber Party kit

Seven pink and purple creme-finish nail polishes - from medium-light to deep. The two brighter pinks aren’t quite neon, but they are the brightest shades in this group.

Notoriously Morbid’s Quiet Storm

This looks like a lighter purple in the pot, but warms up slightly when applied. It’s still a cool color, but it could shift either way depending on what colors you wear with it. The coverage is fairly good, though I do prefer the appearance and ease of application...

Black Rose Minerals’ The Memory Remains

This is a pearl finish, so the finish is the most visible element. Nevertheless, the orange base is softened but not completely hidden. Works nicely as an all-over lid shade, or possibly as a slightly deepened highlighter for folks with warmer undertones.
