All the Taupes

That is a misleading post title.  For some reason it’s the first phrase I think of now with Darling Girl.  There was recently a very spirited discussion about what Susan should name her new taupe GWP shadow and I gotta say, I know some creative and ridiculous people. I placed a little order during the […]

Humbuggery!

Since I’m on a roll I though I’d post the swatches from Evil Shades Humbuggery collection.  I already posted these over on Facebook, but they are amazing.  I broke the collection up into two sets, via shades.  I am blown away at the ‘berry’ type purple collection on top.  I think it looks just like […]

Angels & Cohorts

The other day when I got my Evil Shades order I was a little emotional.  I had meant to swatch the entire Angels & Cohorts collection, but for some reason San Diego was devoid of sunlight.  Today is bright and gorgeous and these shades look amazing!

I was in a rather heated conversation this morning about which Estee Lauder Pure Color lipsticks I like best. It was a particularly odd conversation because I actually don’t like the formula’s figgy scent/flavor.  Even though EL recently updated the scent, it’s now Vanilla Fig, it’s taken me a while to warm up to it.  […]

Monday an email popped into my box that Stila was releasing a new palette of neutrals.  I looked at it and thought, Hey, looks like their version of the Naked palette.  My Naked palette is on it’s way to Stockholm, so I was pretty excited to try this one out. The new Naturaleyes Eye Shadow […]

Darling Girl Cosmetics – A Review

RSW Round 2 – Day 7 Ordering I’d never heard of Darling Girl until it was suggested.  The first thing I ever do, and I’ve mentioned this before, is Google the company.  If there are enough negative reviews or bad experiences, I’m not going to waste my time and money (I know, that’s what you […]

A Little Sparkle!

I know I said I wasn’t going to post anything, but I had to.  Yesterday I got a surprise gift from a Knight in Shining Armor and I was tickled when I opened it to find the Limited Edition Sleek Sparkle palette I’d been wanting.  I am always so incredibly touched when people seem to […]

For Auld Lang Syne!

I got the Auld Lang Syne collection from Evil Shades today. There is no sun here in Southern California, it’s forsaken me.  I pulled out the old daylight sewing lamp and took some swatch pictures anyway. From top to bottom, left to right : Aureate, Wishing Tree, Cranberry Champagne, Polestar, Filigree, and Lucia   Aureate- […]

Astronomical!

I’m pretty excited to post some swatches from Aromaleigh’s latest Vault Sale collection.  I’m so happy to have this one, perhaps last, collection.  It’s full of amazing color shifting shades, which I ADORE.  Had I more cash there are a ton of these I would get full sized.  I’m hoping that the shop is open […]
