A lovely shade of blue and a soft matte finish. The formula is a little thick, and shows some larger details of brushstrokes. I don’t know if thinner coats and more coats would clear that up, or if it’s just something that must be dealt with. I haven’...
I am very cautious about any all-neutral palettes that I pick up. In fact, I usually don’t pick up such palettes. I saw that this was a group of warmer browns - reddish tones, not orangey or golden. Most of the shades are at least medium saturation. I’m...
Nearly four dozen eyeshadows, dominated by warms and warm-neutrals. Most of the colors are reds, roses, and pinks, with orange and coral running a close second. There’s a mix of mattes, frosts, and shimmers, but there don’t seem to be any of the cream-to-powder formula in this palette. ...
The colors in this remind me of Sleek’s Enchanted Forest palette. The color names and the palette name also hint at the similarities! Sure, they’re separated by five years, and Sleek’s Enchanted Forest palette has six fewer eyeshadows; but the similarities are indeed there. The white shimmer...

An aged-gold shadow that reminds me of some colors from Meow Cosmetics and Aromaleigh, without being an exact match. This verges on being a gold-brown. It’s got a metallic finish, but with none of the sooty leave-behind that some older indie colors seemed to have as a matter of...
The other Loaded Bolds colors were really great, so I was looking forward to owning a black and a white lip stick in this same formula. I was anticipating a solid layer of color with a single swipe, no over-dry feeling, and even coverage. Sadly, both apply a bit patchily....
