BareMinerals’ High Shine Gold Medal

BareMinerals’ High Shine Gold Medal

Posted on Monday, at

When this was first released, it was like other BE shadows: in a 10-gram pot (much like High Shine Sand Dune or High Shine Charisma.) It wasn't until its fall 2010 release in the High Shine Longwear Duo that this color was in the “traditional” high-shine color tube packaging. The texture...

Saturday Soundtrack: Szerelem (Stellamara)

Saturday Soundtrack: Szerelem (Stellamara)

Posted on Saturday, at

Szerelem is an old, traditional Hungarian love song. Some kind soul typed out the Hungarian lyrics and the English translation: Hungarian: Szerelem, szerelem, Átkozott gyötrelem, Mért nem virágoztál Minden fa? teteje? Minden fa tetején, Diófa levelén, Hogy szakísztott volna, Minden leány ...

Review: Shiro Cosmetics

Review: Shiro Cosmetics

Posted on Friday, at

I first started buying from Shiro some time in the summer of 2010. I got several colors from Shiro's first big collection, and was impressed with price, turnaround time, color payoff, and longevity. I've continued to watch the store, and I think at this point I have every one of Shiro's...

News Roundup for week 12, 2011

Posted on Friday, at

It's the last Friday in March. We've still got a week to go…but this is the final Friday of March 2011. Where in the hell is the year going? Companies like China Glaze and Zoya aren't helping, what with their already releasing their summer collections. So does that mean that...

BareMinerals’ Sweet Escape kit

BareMinerals’ Sweet Escape kit

Posted on Thursday, at

If you’d been idly toying with buying your first Bare Escentuals kit, I’d recommend this one. Yes, it’s got one color that’s currently available for individual purchase in the various boutiques (Exotic Tara). And Nouveau is available in a few different kits this summer. The Buxom...

BareMinerals’ Big and Bright eyeliner collection

BareMinerals’ Big and Bright eyeliner collection

Posted on Thursday, at

Retractable eyeliners with a built-in sharpener and smudge tool. As of March 2011, one can find six colors in the “core” line. There are other liner shades released in this and that kit, though - if you don’t want to buy the entire kit just to get the shade in...

Sally Hansen’s Pink Boa

Sally Hansen’s Pink Boa

Posted on Wednesday, at

Two coats for full coverage, long wear, just the slightest blue undertone to the hot pink, and under $5 a bottle. What's not to love? I haven't had the best luck finding another bottle at the three stores near me, though - so if you do want it and you do...

EoTD: On Wednesdays…

Posted on Wednesday, at

Managed a dual-purpose look today: I demoed the samples I received from Lost In Makeupland (and thus had a look for my contest entry! You've entered, haven't you? Well…you've got until the end of the month. That's over a week. So head over and enter!) -=and=- I...

Zoya’s Salma

Zoya’s Salma

Posted on Wednesday, at

This is definitely a warmer red. I'm not quite sure that I love this one as much as I love some of my other Zoya reds (I'm very drawn to blue-reds, not so much to orange-reds), but the color isn't so orange that I feel that I can't wear it....

NYX Cosmetics’ Chloe Round Lipstick

NYX Cosmetics’ Chloe Round Lipstick

Posted on Tuesday, at

Utterly fantastic fuchsia creme, deep hot pink with a faint blue cast. The color payoff is excellent. The only downside is that, as with all NYX lipsticks, it doesn't last very long. You'll need to keep the tube with you all day, for touchups. Before I started wearing makeup, I...
