China Glaze’s Starboard

China Glaze’s Starboard

Posted on Wednesday, at

One coat doesn't quite give either even or full coverage; but two coats covers nicely. The shade is like the springier version of Zoya's Gemma, but without the slight blue flash. Starboard is a brighter green, but it's got some olive undertones to it. Like the other shades from this...

BareMinerals’ Bavarian Creme lipstick

BareMinerals’ Bavarian Creme lipstick

Posted on Tuesday, at

When it was released, this was one of the only actual pink lipsticks in BE's lipstick inventory. (Pink Champagne is darker and a tiny bit mauve.) Now there are a few more lighter shades - Rock Candy, French Pastry - and this is no longer the lighest color in BE's...

NYX Cosmetics’ Frosted Beige Round Lipstick

NYX Cosmetics’ Frosted Beige Round Lipstick

Posted on Tuesday, at

The label says “beige”, but the color itself says “peach gold”. I like this color quite a lot - it's a nice not-quite-neutral shade. I do wish that it didn't have a tendency to migrate, like all of the round lipsticks do. Maybe I can find this corresponding color in...

Revlon’s Blush Colorburst Lipstick

Revlon’s Blush Colorburst Lipstick

Posted on Tuesday, at

Not an easy color to describe…but not a “pink” shade, like you might think from looking at the colortile on the end of the cap. This looks like a near-natural mixture of coral and pink with hints of mauve. (For once my facility at describing colors utterly fails me....

Aromaleigh v1’s Flutter-by

Aromaleigh v1’s Flutter-by

Posted on Tuesday, at

I'm not entirely sure why I bypassed this color when the collection was originally released - possibly because I thought I already had enough pinks? - but I was fortunate enough to get this color in the final-clearance grab bags. It's a nice deeper pink with a slight shimmer, not...

Aromaleigh v1’s Gilded Jealousy

Aromaleigh v1’s Gilded Jealousy

Posted on Monday, at

I stayed clear of this color when Aromaleigh was open - thinking, it's another olive green, I don't love the olive greens I have now, I'd rather get some of the other colors from this particular collection. I received this in one of the many “final clearance” grab bags I...

Evil Shades’ Filigree

Evil Shades’ Filigree

Posted on Monday, at

Very sheer, with little color payoff. The color's only really visible when foiled. It's similar to Bare Escentuals' Panther, with a little bit less heft.

Beauty Basics: Overall Health

Posted on Sunday, at

If your body is generally healthy - and I don't mean “not sick or injured” but “healthy and active” - you will move easier, you will breathe easier, you will have more concentration, you'll be more energetic. This will all add up to you looking more alive, feeling better, smiling...

Beauty Basics Tutorial Series

Posted on Saturday, at

I've got a friend who's just getting into makeup, and who has mock-complained on Twitter that she has to learn now, at 30+, what all the other girls learned in their early teens. Except folks like me, who are just learning now. :D So I thought that I'd write up a...
