ColourPop’s BFF Volumizing Mascara in Blue Ya Mind

This is one of the colored mascaras that survived the reduction. I wish that it coated better - that’s a near-universal complaint with the BFF Volumizing Mascaras - but it stayed very smooth and, when they did coat a lash, they coated the whole lash.

ColourPop’s Blush Stix in 25/8

This is not a good color for me. I had hopes that it might lean coralesque, but…no. It’s more of a sheer terracotta. I can use this color on my eyelids, but it doesn’t look quite right on my cheekbones. The formula is fairly good for the...

Color Club’s Stripped Away

An utterly non-orange medium-light tan. It reminds me of Zoya’s long-discontinued Jennifer. This one has a slightly thinner-than-average formula. Two coats is fine on my shorter nails, but you can see some VNL. It does apply and self-level very well, but if you have longer nails you might want...

NYX Cosmetics’ Epic Wear Liquid Liner collection

Liquid liners in saturated shades with a well-pigmented formula. What could go wrong? Well… To start off, these liners do stay put amazingly well once they’re in place. These are the antithesis of the Vivid Brights, which are bright liquid liners that have all the staying power of a...

Notoriously Morbid’s Mr. Library

This purple matte changes depending on how it’s applied. Mixed with water and applied over bare skin, it becomes brighter and a little bit bluer. Applied dry over primer, it stays in the same purple range and doesn’t increase the color intensity, but watch for thinner spots where...

Notoriously Morbid’s Jersey Devil

A slightly softened berry-brick red that applies smoothly and blends well. The blue shimmer isn’t a solid layer, but a little thicker than “scattered highlights”. This effect is more visible when the shadow is applied dry. The entire color covers evenly, and mixes easily with water or water-based mixing...

My Pretty Zombie’s Drugs Like Me: Pethidine

This isn’t what I anticipated, based on the vendor photos. I don’t know if the batch I got was off, or, since this does look less brown and more plum when it’s swatched sheerly, the color itself appears much different (instead of more intense) when layered. It...

Color Club’s Can You Dig It?

A softened purple with slight warmer hints. This isn’t necessarily a color that I personally reach for a lot, but it’s nice to have in my collection. If you want an “office appropriate purple”, I’d imagine that this polish would fit the bill. The formula is typical...

Zoya’s Elliott

A rich blue-black that looks like a teal-black in some lights. I have a few similar shades from other vendors, and one similar from Zoya, but nothing that has this color depth with the teal/navy changeability. The formula is excellent, and the polish is nicely durable. I don’t...
