BareMinerals’ Phoebe

Aromaleigh v1’s Spells collection

The third of three "Swansong" collections released by Aromaleigh v1. As of 10/3/2010, individual colors aren't for sale...but you can purchase the entire sample set and see full-sun swatch photos at the company blog. Based on pricing for the Mythos collection, I'm going to guess that these colors will be $5...

Aromaleigh v1’s Wonderstruck collection

Again, I re-ordered the “official photography” so that the colors were all in alphabetical order. (This is just me.) As of this entry, only the sample set is available for purchase, for $18. Based on the list price of the Mythos individual colors, I’m going to guess that these will...

China Glaze’s Goin’ My Way?

When I purchased this color, I thought: here's a good medium-dark brown frost, I bet it will look amazing under Sally Hansen's Hidden Treasure. Then I applied it…and didn't want to cover the color up. So I'll wuss out, wear it plain for a few days, and see how...

Beauty bloggers!! Got a black cat (or dog)?

The other day I noticed three beauty bloggers on Twitter, posting pics of their black cats. I commented, and three more folks stood up to be counted. So I started thinking… Halloween is coming up!! While some folks' blackfurbabies may tolerate being painted and primped and costumed, trying such things...

Fall/Winter releases around and about

Happy October, everyone!! All kinds of stuff going on…

China Glaze’s Vintage Vixen collection

Back in late April / early May 2010, when pictures of these colors were posted, people were interested in the colors and the glass-fleck/microglitter finishes. They were China Glaze’s fall 2010 collections, but were due to be released in July 2010 to various etailers and some retailers. (Some locations, like my local...

Aromaleigh v1’s Flip Your Lid

This is a bright pumpkin orange, rather than a “screaming neon orange”. It accents my eye color without being too orange (if that makes any sense.) I can easily use this for looks where I want to use fewer vibrant colors, but still want something with a solid color payoff....
