Urban Decay’s Vice lipstick in Firebird

BareMinerals’ Sun

An older color that I’ve had for a bit, but just…never got around to swatching. It’s a pumpkin-orange with a softened pearl finish.

BareMinerals’ Amazed

Zoya’s Erika

Good basic pink base shade with a strong-but-not-overpowering gold shimmer finish. The base shade is a bit on the sheer side, and it didn’t spread out nicely on its own. Then again, this is an older color and it sat for quite a while - I may not have shaken it enough before starting this manicure.

BareMinerals’ Buxom Lips Off Leash kit

Similar to previous larger holiday kits, this was split between the semisheer lip polishes and the more opaque lip creams. All of the lip polishes are minis of existing full-size colors. While most of the lip cream colors were ostensibly new, they’re extremely similar to pre-existing shades.

BareMinerals’ Wonderment

BareMinerals’ Marvel

This is definitely a frost finish. The base color is a little more visible when I apply this dry over primer, but it’s still lessened a bit.

ColourPop’s Lippie Stix in LBB

I think this was actually one of the first Lippie Stix that I bought. I’ve worn it a few times, but I am still not personally comfortable with super-bold lip shades. This one does want a liner, but the color itself is very even and it seems to stain my lips just a bit.

Shiro Cosmetics’ An Unexpected Party

A nice midrange brown, but with some sallow undertones. Wear it with the right colors (greenish or yellowed neutrals), and the yellow and green are great accents. The coverage is a little better when applied dry.

Dawn Eyes Cosmetics’ Fantastical

This one’s a bit like Enchanting, in that most of its colorshifting happens within two adjacent colors (as opposed to Ravishing, Magical, or Mystical.)
