ColourPop Balloon Pop Super Shock Shadow

Auric Selentine Glow Lust Radiant Luminizer ($45.00 for 1.13 oz.) is a light peach with moderate, warm undertones and a luminous sheen. The texture was smooth, lightly creamy, and fluid but felt a touch thicker than most liquid luminzers I've tried, which seemed to give it a...

Do you prefer products with names or numbers?

Do you prefer products with names or numbers?

I prefer names as they are easier to remember, but numbers tend to be a way for brands to stay out of trouble, LOL. For skin-toned products, like foundation, I like numbers and letters to signify depth and undertone over names, though.

Auric Goldstone Glow Lust Radiant Luminizer ($45.00 for 1.13 oz.) is a medium brown with warmer, golden undertones and a natural sheen. The finish had fine pearl throughout that yielded a luminous glow on my skin but never looked shimmery--it was very "skin-like." When mixed...

Do you keep track of what products you've used in looks?

Do you keep track of what products you've used in looks?

I really try to! There are some days that I test and my eyes are being sensitive–too red or just feeling sensitive to light–where I won’t take photos of what I’m testing, but I do keep track most of the time since I need to keep track of wear times and the like!
