This color would have been nice if it hadn’t been super-sheer. Even with four coats, I’ve still got VNL! The roughened texture, with some larger particles, isn’t my favorite. I do like the color and the red/pink flash, but…four coats? Unless it’s the original...
I loved L’Oréal’s Silkisseme liners, so when I noticed this collection it was pretty easy to pick up a few colors to test. They even had a burgundy!! Thus far, I like the color range - a few quasi-highlight liners, but mostly a nice range of medium-deep...
I feel like these four blushes have been around for quite some time. I remember seeing other bloggers review some of the “special limited edition shades” in the early 2010s, so there’s been the “core four” for most of the 2010s. The blushes are softer shades, a bit on...
This is marketed as a blush, but it can be applied more thickly and used as an eyeshadow. I could use this as a blush - it’s a brick red rather than a lush red, so it might not look as good on my cheeks as a clearer red...
All the hallmarks of the Buxom Plumpliners - easy application, great color payoff, good longevity - and a nice lighter shade that can be a close match or “nude” for some skintones. The color is just -=barely=- too warm for me. I don’t know that I’ll...
This color makes me think of beach vacation houses - not the ones with the riot-of-color decorating schemes, but the ones with bleached wood accents, faux-distressed paint jobs, shiplap shiplap shiplap, and crushed-seashell walkways. This polish covers very nicely - it self-levels, it doesn’t show brushstrokes, and it doesn’...
Two coats isn’t quite opaque - I can see light through my nails - but I don’t have VNL, so I’m going to count this one as “two coats for full coverage.” It’s a lovely blue-violet with a strong red flash and larger, scattered silver or...
I haven’t tried too many neon liners, but most of the ones I have are from ColourPop. (Mostly, that’s me not really looking for them. I’m sure that they’re out there somewhere. For example, JDGlow has a whole range of liquid neon liners.) This has the...
Yet another shade that was sadly pared from the overall Stick Shadow collection. This is almost too bright for my preferences, though - it looks kind of 1960s. Application can be a little patchy, since the color won’t apply with a single pass and repeated passes mean that the...
