Eminently wearable raspberry. The color is pretty similar to Revlon's Colorburst lipstick in Raspberry (045). I got this shade as part of the Buxom Babes About Town kit, so only have it in the mini size; but I will be getting this in fullsize once this one runs out.
Having grown up in central California, it seems a little…odd…to choose this particular city-name. Fresno has never been “on the global map” (unless you count being mentioned in the original Karate Kid movie), it's not of the same profile as Las Vegas, Marrakech, Amsterdam, Barcelona, or any of...
This was one of the first Buxom lip sticks. I looked over the starting lineup (Barcelona, Berlin, Brooklyn, Milan, Las Vegas, Monte Carlo) and thought to myself: well, I can already guess that I won't like Berlin or Milan because they're warmer peaches. Brooklyn looks a bit dark, so that's...
It's been a bit since I posted a look! I did get most of the way through my eyecolor challenge, but ran out of steam…just over 1000 colors used isn't that bad, but I was severely lacking in the motivation department. This new wrinkle should be fun: every Monday I'll...
This thing is scarlet. Bright red. Bright, screaming red. I'm not entirely sure why I got this one, since I don't really generally wear such bright red lip color. I'll have to experiment with toning this down (possibly applying it under <a href=”/such/obsessive/addictions/bareminerals_buxom_isabella/”...
Once upon a time, when I was a wee zygote and dinosaurs had only recently gone extinct, the first Christmas decorations would timidly poke their noses out of hiding over Thanksgiving weekend, and the whole aisles of paper, bows, decorations and toys would show up December 1st. Then when I...
There are only three colors in this kit that I don’t already own, so I didn’t buy this kit itself. These Pure Luxuries kits did not contain as many colors as the other large holiday kits from BE, but they contained blushes and face colors, and three brushes...
<p>It looks like it might just be black, or a purple so dark as to effectively be black. It's a bit similar to Bare Escentuals' Midnight, in that even if you apply it softly it still looks black...but put it next to true black shadow or liner,...
The shop photos of this color make it sound like a nice purple with some sparkle; but they don't really show the depth of the sparkle. When I got and tested the sample baggie, it looked like it might be similar to either Kareena or Laura, but I wasn't totally...
<p>Deku was a surprise. By the photos and description, it sounded like another brown: nice enough, but not something I'd love. I mentally marked this as a color that I was just going to pass by, as I had plenty of browns already.</p> <p>And...
