While this kit had more colors that I didn’t already have…it had quite a few that I already did, and they were mini jars besides. I don’t care to pay this much money for a kit that contains several items I already own. However, if you know...
Released as one of the “mega” kits for the 2010 winter holiday season, this 15 piece kit had mini products: “petite” eyeshadows (5 gram jars, which not all users love); small blushes (same jar size as a regular BE eyeshadow); halfsize lip glosses. It also didn’t feature any new products, but existing...
No, that isn’t a typo. This kit is indeed $750. It’s a re-release from May 2010. The official copy says that it has 60 items. Since one of those items is the train case, 2 are primers, 2 are mineral veils, 2 are mascaras, 10 are brushes, and 1 is a compact, one could argue that...
The blackening is more apparent in this color than in Drama Teal, but not so much that it utterly smudges out the silver. It looks like straight black sparkle. This will make a good liner…which is what the collection was intended for, liners.
I had a burst of efficiency, and I've got posts scheduled out for the next two months. I just have to do some finishing bits - some photos, a writeup-tweak here and there, et cetera. That's calmed my days down somewhat, which is good...seeing as how I seem to...
I originally held off on getting this color on the theory that it was another neutral-ish shade, and really - I didn't need any more. I had tons of browns!! And by the time I'd just about convinced myself that, no, I really should get this one…it had sold...
This collection was originally released for the 2009 holiday season, but I didn’t get it, not even in sample size. There are some nice colors in this collection: Star, which is a deeper gold than Xmas Rant‘s Traffic; Ring-a-ling, which I may end up getting fullsize; and Secret Santa,...
I am so glad I got the chance to get this color!! It's a very rich, very pigmented blue. I missed out on this color's original release, and had just about resigned myself to getting some Drama Teal and “making due”...when several Angels shades were mixed up for Aromaleigh...
When I initially saw the photos for this collection, I thought a few things: 1) it’s nice to find a holiday collection that isn’t brightly colored; 2) it’s nice to see more metallics; and 3) some of these may be similar-ish. Happily, the colors are gorgeous, they’re definitely metallic,...
