Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

What’s been in your rotation the most this week? ABH Moonchild palette: I’m so glad I finally gave in and bought it! The powders are actually quite different than my Looxi Beauty highlighters, after all. UD Afterdark Palette, UD Naked Basics, BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream in O1 Opal, and Medusa’s Makeup Blush in Dangerous Liaison.

What caught your eye? KVD Pastel Goth Palette, ColourPop Paper Tiger pressed shadow, UD Nocturnal Vice Lipstick in Backstab, SugarPill lipstick in U4EA, Nyx’s new lipliners (especially the green one).

Rotation this week: I pulled out my Urban Decay Vice 4 palette this week, thinking I’d spend the week with it. What actually happened was that I spent the week obsessed with Crowbar and I did five looks with it. It’s not an easy shadow to work with as it’s very gritty and prone to a ton of fall out, but it is the first and only dark olive eyeshadow that’s ever gotten my attention, and because of this, I found it to be worth the trouble.

Caught my eye: I only have eyes for Crowbar this week!

I am absolutely in awe of how much reviewing and research you do each and every week. Between the myriad of photos, swatches, pics of actual wear, tips, tutorials, insights – it is just incredible! You have amassed a wondrous living encyclopedia of all things beauty. Thank you so much for helping me make better purchasing decisions than I normally would without your help. I love reading your reviews and really feel your passion about what you do. Your honest, straightforward, actual trials are, in a word, AMAZING!!! We are all indebted to you. I not only check your reviews before purchasing, but can also count on you to know who is having the “deals” of the week. I just wanted to say that I really appreciate your hard work. You are a lovely person, both inside and out. THANK YOU!!!

I don’t know what happened with my account. I had to sign up again. I am getting links to verify and they are not active. Kinda stuck here. I re-signed up. Just can’t get any of the links to work on my email. When I tried to log in, it didn’t have my info. Strange.
On another note, I am currently obsessed with Tata Harper. Would you please look into adding her to your brands list? I’d love to hear what you think. I am not a crazy “green” person, but I am growing concerned about what I’m putting all over my skin. This line is incredible for anti-aging. I am turning 49 soon, and I have become crazed about skincare, wrinkles, looking old, changing skin, etc. I’d love to get your take on the whole line which has included some cosmetics, too. Thanks!

It is the coolest company. Tata started the line when her father was diagnosed with skin cancer. The company is 100% natural with NOTHING synthetic. The skincare is cutting edge. She has all of her own proprietary formulas and makes all product on her 1200 acre farm in Vermont. She sources the best ingredients from all over the world. I can see a phenomenal difference in my skin in just weeks. Thanks.
