Color Club’s Peace Out Purple

Despite the name…this is a bright cool pink. It’s a very vivid color with a little depth than most neons, but with nearly the same intensity. The formula is the standard for Color Club creme polishes.

Zoya’s Ness

The color green from your primary-school box of crayons. I have a few green nail polishes in this shade, but for quite a while I was only really looking for evergreen, moss, or sage nail colors so I probably bypassed more than a few opportunities to get this particular shade....

Real Techniques’ Flawless Base Brush kit

I picked this up several years ago. Real Techniques brushes are a little softer than I would strictly prefer, but I’ve found a use for most of the brushes in this kit. I use the buffing brush for powder application, and the square foundation brush for highlighter/bronzer on...

Notoriously Morbid’s The Endless collection

By the time I started buying from Notoriously Morbid, one of the eight colors had disappeared from the lineup. They all have the standard effects that are found in multichrome cosmetics: a red-orange-yellow shift, a purple-blue shift, a green-blue shift, a pink-yellow-green shift, a red-green-blue shift, a purple-blue-magenta shift, a...

L’Oréal’s Infallible 24HR Eye Shadow in Blinged and Brilliant (607)

This was one of the products released for the 2012 Holiday season. It’s a pale rose gold with a very metallic finish - almost frosty. It’s easy to over-apply this and end up with cakey-looking shadow. Happily, it blends fairly nicely, so when I accidentally apply too much, I...

Notoriously Morbid’s Delirium

Four colors are visible in this multichrome. The blue and purple are the most visible in this shade when viewed straight on. The magenta and gold appear at the edges, as the surface curves away from the light source / eye.

Milani Cosmetics’ Ludicrous Lights Duo Chrome Highlighter in Pink-aroo

This is my least favorite of the three Ludicrous Lights Duo Chrome Highlighters. Peach-ella blends in with my skintone more so when it does sparkle it looks a bit like it came out of nowhere; and Lollapa-blue-za is…well, it’s blue. (I have a decided weakness for blue and...

Nyx Cosmetics’ Suede Matte Lipstick in Copenhagen

Exactly the same color as the Copenhagen lip liner, but in an (in my opinion) easier-to-use format. Copenhagen initially was only available as a lipliner. This color, along with Cherry Skies, were shades that I really wanted to see in bullet form. When the second wave of Suede Matte Lipsticks...

Zoya’s Tieran

Kiko Cosmetics’ Pearly Eye Base

This is a base. Not a primer, just a base. Why you’d want a pale base that dries down near-invisible and has a pearly finish, I don’t know…but here it is. I tested this against three primers, because initially I didn’t quite understand that it might...
