Sally Hansen’s Virtual Violet

Sally Hansen’s Virtual Violet

Posted on Wednesday, at

I really like this color. One coat is a sheer light purple glaze. Two coats deepens the purple slightly and makes the blue flash much more apparent. This is going to sound a bit odd…but the purple is “Sterno-Magenta”. That's what color this is - seriously. This polish has...

The shape of things to come

The shape of things to come

Posted on Tuesday, at

Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays will be looks, EoTDs, tools, news, sales, rants and op-eds, whatever I've got. I don't doubt that I'll find the occasional new toy along the way, and shuffle the schedule a bit. On the one hand, having stuff scheduled that far out in advance is kind...

Revlon’s Soft Nude Colorburst Lipstick

Revlon’s Soft Nude Colorburst Lipstick

Softer, pale peach that is actually lighter than my normal lip color, but it has no shimmer whatsoever - so I had to apply two coats to be sure I was getting coverage. It's very similar to Creampuff, but a bit warmer. I can wear this as a base for...

NYX Cosmetics’ Aphrodite Round Lipstick

NYX Cosmetics’ Aphrodite Round Lipstick

I had a hard time finding good representative product pictures of this one. Finally, I just broke down and bought it. I thought it might be a lighter lavender-tan-ish thing that I could use under a Buxom lip polish to get it to a shade I'm comfortable wearing. When I...

Aromaleigh v1’s But This Is My Dream

Aromaleigh v1’s But This Is My Dream

Posted on Monday, at

<p>I don't know if this is extremely sheer, or if it's just an exact match for my skintone? Actually, I think it's a bit of both. It's similar to Breakfast at Kitty's and Oddysey, but it has a pink shimmer rather than just gold. That warms the shade...

EoTD: Peacock Dreams

I got my Morgana Cryptoria order the other day - five lipstick samples from the 2011 vegan collection, one full tube - and the owner had sent along a sample of one of her new shadows to try. Jaded Peacock is going to be included in the Murder Mystery collection, to...

Aromaleigh v1’s Curious Dream

Aromaleigh v1’s Curious Dream

Posted on Monday, at

A very pale, soft green that nonetheless actually has pigmentation (unlike paler softer greens from other companies.) This was one of the final shades released from Aromaleigh during its closing days. It is actually a bit similar to Theia, from the Mythos collection - another of the “last hurrah” Aromaleigh...

BareMinerals’ Optimist blush

BareMinerals’ Optimist blush

Posted on Sunday, at

I wasn't too thrilled with this color when I saw it on QVC. I thought: okay, well, another russet-ish blush. It might work, it might be too dark, I'll just have to see. I wasn't thrilled with the color when I got the kit and saw the blush in person....

BareMinerals’ Miracle blush

BareMinerals’ Miracle blush

Posted on Sunday, at

It only looks like it will apply “too pink” or “too vivid”. When I swatched it over primer, the color was still a nice soft pink - not ballet-pink, not bubblegum-pink, closer to pale tulip-pink. When I applied it normally, on my cheek, the pink was there, but was very...
