NYX Cosmetics’ Strawberry Shortcake Black Label Lipstick (184)

Femme Fatale Cosmetics’ Smokebomb

Meow Cosmetics’ Satin Sheets

Beauty from the Earth’s Sassafrass

Not nearly as green as I’d hoped, but the color is a good match with the other shades in BFTE’s 2012 Fall kit. This color is cooler than Sycamore, but otherwise the two actually look fairly similar...

Sally Hansen’s Black and Blue

There is more duochrome to this color than my pictures show - but it’s all clustered around the turquoise-blue-purple end of the spectrum. It’s a great color, I just wish it didn’t require so many...

Color Club’s Over The Moon

Not as deep a blue as either Hera or Apolo (so I’m very, very, VERY glad that I got backups of both of those colors!) This isn’t as muted a base shade as 2Nite, but the color intensity is close....

elf’s Confident

Beauty from the Earth’s Guipure

Femme Fatale Cosmetics’ Cosmic Power

Sally Hansen’s Peach of Cake

I’m not the buggest fan of orange nail polishes. They generally don’t work well for me: some make my hands look too red, or make my skin look faintly jaundiced. I’ll make exceptions for duochrome...

BareMinerals’ Big and Bright eyeliner in Plum

So dark it’s almost black. Unfortunately, this has a manic case of that skipping problem that most of these liners had. I was only able to get a solid line - faint, but solid - after keeping the...

Beauty from the Earth’s Way Up High

Normally, white eyeshadows tend to look better foiled. This one is just the opposite. (Or I screwed up the montage, whichever.) I can use this as a highlighter, though it’s just a tiny bit too...

Femme Fatale Cosmetics’ Mysticism

Meow Cosmetics’ ROFLMAO

A great level of color payoff as well as nicely even coverage, but if you don’t use a base or sealant with this you’ll get fallout all day. (That’s just how some sparkly eyeshadows are - the Wild...

Color Club’s Halo-graphic

A softer color, but not as light/pastel as some of the other shades in the first wave of Halo Hues colors. It’s a bit softer than Rated Holographic, with the smoother linear-holo finish of TTYL. I...

Fyrinnae’s Feisty Fennec Fox

Lost in Makeupland’s Beverly Hills

Femme Fatale Cosmetic’s Archangel

Beauty from the Earth’s Isis

This is an unblended pigment color - meaning, that while base mix may have been added, it’s essentially the same color as a raw mica that you might buy from TKB Trading. (Beauty from the Earth has...

BareMinerals’ Big and Bright eyeliner in Intense Black

NYX Cosmetics’ Lily of the Valley Black Label Lipstick (179)

I love the color and the very slight gold shimmer on this! This is definitely a cool magenta, almost a violet-magenta, so warm-toned ladies might not be able to pull this one off. (That’s okay,...

MAC’s Softwash Grey pigment

BareMinerals’ A Bucc-an-ear

Meow Cosmetics’ Moonrise

So deep a navy blue it’s almost a cool deep charcoal. The coverage is decent, though the pigmentation level is a bit on the low side. I can see flashes of green and purple in the shimmer-finish,...

Meow Cosmetics’ Cricket Serenade

This is a slightly cooler, just slightly deeper version of Bitey Tyrannosaur.

Color Club’s Blue Heaven

When I look at this color and Harp On It in their bottles, I have a hard time telling the two apart! There’s some more visible color differentiation between them once they’re on my nail, but...

Mattese Elite’s Star Dust Powder collection

I first started looking for these when I noticed another blogger using what looked like the perfect orange eyeshadow. I found the name, went looking for the producct…and found a whole collection of...

OPI’s Skyfall collection

This collection was released as OPI’s 2012 winter holiday collection, because the timing worked to have this released during the Skyfall movie hoopla *and* be that year’s holiday release. I was...

Meow Cosmetics’ Cookie Dough

Looks exactly the color of Toll House cookie dough just after you’ve mixed up the bowl, before you start spooning it into your mouthonto the cookie sheet.

Meow Cosmetics’ Spiked Eggnog

I have a few pale yellows in my collection, but so many of them are semisheer. This one actually shows up without having to apply multiple layers - which is a nice change of pace. I don’t know how...
