BareMinerals’ Strawberry Daquiri lipstick

When this color was introduced, I was glad to see some less intense reds. The line had only a few pinks at that point - though others would be added - but most of the colors seemed tilted toward the more somber end of the scale. There weren't many brighter...

Shiro Cosmetics’ Master Sword

This color is more sparkle than pigment. It's almost the equivalent of Urbay Decay's Midnight Cowboy - but with less fallout. (Marginally.) This one works best as a highlighter or overall top wash of sparkle, rather than as a standalone pale gold-tan…but you can use it as that, if...

Aromaleigh v1’s Flirt a Little

This is almost like the “dark-chocolate” version of Fyrinnae's Te Amo. Both have the copper tones when applied dry, both are reddish brown; but Flirt A Little only shows off its darker brown when applied wet. I didn't have any fallout-problems with the sparkle in this shade.

BareMinerals’ b.f.f.

This is a fairly soft pink. It's got some similarities to two other BE colors, Spellbound (but with a tiny bit more weight) and Cultured Pearl (a bit more neutral base color, different finish). (Realistically, it probably has some similarities to many pinks out there.) I don't think I would...

Fyrinnae’s Calavera Cupcakes

Fyrinnae’s Sugar Skulls

A little less of the coral-pink shows up when applied dry, even patted over primer - this color has to be applied wet to get more of the coral base color.

Fyrinnae’s Eternal Innocence

Fyrinnae’s Sacred

Fyrinnae’s Dia de los Muertos collection

When this originally released, I was sort of interested in Sugar Skulls and Te Amo, but since I’d previously had difficulties catching Fyrinnae’s site when they were open, I didn’t rush right out to buy. This collection was small, but contained a number of really gorgeous colors...

Beauty Trials: Wet n Wild Megalash Clinical Lash Serum, weeks 2 and 3

Here's last week's photo, taken April 24th 2011; and the photo for the third week, taken May 1st 2011. The photo for week 2 is a bit blurry, but it's a bit difficult to tell if there's been any improvement in thickness or length between weeks 2 and 3. I can now confirm, though, that...
