What are some of your favorite collections from the past?

Just what is normal in your lipsticks? A Jaclyn Hill Lipsticks Follow-up!

I have applied, swatched, and reviewed a lot of lipstick in the last 13 years--there are over 13,000 lip swatches in the Swatch Gallery, and there are years of photos that aren't included (because they're older, lower quality, etc.).   I want to discuss my own experiences over the years of what...

Best & Worst of Fenty Beauty Poutsicle Lipsticks

Fenty Beauty Poutsicle Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.10 oz.) is supposed to have "bold" color with a "juicy, satin finish." They're bright, bold, and fairly pigmented (some being opaque, a couple being a bit under) with a smooth, creamy consistency that feels like a cross between a lipstick and a lip balm...
