TKB Trading’s Monochrome Yellow

Shiro Cosmetics’ Alluvium

A gold-brown that looks like aged gold, with a near-metallic finish and a nice reflectivity that isn’t full-on shine.

Aromaleigh v2.1’s Solanum Dulcamara

A very sheer purple - this is almost more of a super-subtle highlighter. It’s marketed as a “multipurpose powder” which means that it can work on the lids or anywhere on the face. I have layered it over hot pink blush to mute it and cool it; I’ve...

Emily de Molly’s More or Less

This color is shown on the vendor site as shifting between pearlized navy and hunter green. I don’t know if my bottle is just older, but I don’t see the blue-to-green. I see some muddied greenish-bronze hints, but not a clear shift like the vendor shows and describes....

Aromaleigh v2.1’s Indiscretions highlighter

NYX Cosmetics’ Suede Matte Lipstick in Subversive Socialite

Color Club’s Smooth Move

The description sounds kind of bland, and honestly this is one of the least exciting Oil Slick colors. The pearl is a pale blue, and I occasionally see flashes of light green at certain angles. That gives the pale pink a nice distinction. Another potential downside for this polish is...

Zoya’s Minnie

Very springtime/early summer-y pink-leaning coral creme. I originally steered clear of this, thinking “I don’t wear pink polish that much, and I already have several, so I definitely don’t need this.” Once I saw it worn by other people and could see that it was more of...
