Single Eyeshadows (Over $10) | 2022 Editor's Favorites

In past years' roundups, I've included Multichromes with Single Eyeshadows, but this year, there were quite a few shades reviewed in the Multichrome finish... and they just needed their own post. I also thought it would be more interesting to see what "regular" eyeshadows stood out in the singles...

One of the best reasons to review indie brands is to actually have options upon options of single eyeshadows to choose from.

Cream Eyeshadows | 2022 Editor's Favorites

I'm glad more brands are releasing cream/liquid eyeshadows--I reviewed 215+ different shades this past year--and I'm curious to see what 2023 brings.

With over 130 different lipsticks swatched, tested, and reviewed in 2022 priced at $15 or less, they were pretty incredible across the board. One of the more game-changing formulas I tried this year was Maybelline Super Stay Vinyl Ink Lipcolors; they are an ultra long-wearing, liquid lipstick with a...

Will your buying habits change in 2023?

Will your buying habits change in 2023?

I might need to make adjustments to how extensively I purchase some product lines or remove some brands from the regular rotation based because I definitely expect the budget available for products to review to shrink not-insignificantly for 2023 based on how things went in 2022.
