Simply Naturals’ Pacific

One of Simply Naturals' four “phantom” colors - soft pastel pearls - Pacific is most similar to TSS' limited-edition color With Arms Wide Open. This is very similar to Simply Naturals' Bliss, but this color is more white than blue. It's a bit heavier than Bliss or With Arms Wide...

The SheSpace’s Miss Defiant

Miss Defiant is an interesting color. It's a borderline pink/magenta, but with more pigmentation and a faint blue iridescent sheen. That blue iridescent is what cools the color down, and makes it pair well with purples and darker blues. It even works somewhat well with bright greens, such as...

Simply Naturals’ Bliss

A friend of mine is writing a big fanfic series titled “Bliss”, so just about any eyecolor named Bliss is going to be on my must-buy list. (Nothing shall be said about that inferior-grade chocolate-oid stuff from Hershey.) Simply Naturals' Bliss is a soft light blue sheen. It's the same...

Simply Naturals’ Denim

Yet another case of don't-be-fooled-by-the-name: Simply Naturals' Denim is not a match for Bare Escentuals' Denim, other than they're both blue eyeshadows. This isn't so much a “denim” blue, but I'm not going to argue that much about the name. It's a lovely color with a shiny finish whether applied...

The SheSpace’s Broken Wings

Pure Luxe’s Vortex

Vortex is a duochrome color, a bit like Pure Luxe's Kaleidescope colors. In the pot, it looks like a soft periwinkle-blue. Brush it on wet or dry, though, and you see the mauve colorshift. It's a cool mauve, though, so it doesn't suddenly go from a cool to a warm...

BareMinerals’ Kindness

Kindness looks somewhat unassuming in the pot; but put it on wet and the color changes slightly. You see highlights of silvery-blue in the pigment. It works well as a highlighter color, but also applied on its own. I think this would work very well with mica powders added to...

BareMinerals’ Clarity

Clarity is a very pale pale aqua shimmer. The color was only available with this kit…but, of course, is now easily acquired from sellers on Ebay. This color, along with the other colors in this kit, was supposedly “diamond-infused”. I have no idea if it actually was, and am...

BareMinerals’ 2000s

The first thing you notice when opening the pot is not the color, but the sparkles. 2000s is so light a blue it's nearly white; and so sparkly a pigment powder it looks more like white glitter than anything that's blue. Compare it side by side with white pigments, though,...

Simply Naturals’ Blossom

Blossom isn't completely matte, but honestly? Even when applied wet, it's close enough. This is an almost-white blue with just a faint hint of periwinkle. Applied dry it doesn't do much for me, even over a cream base; applied wet, it makes a decent highlight color or accent. Not an...
