Illamasqua Swinger Nail Varnish

Illamasqua Swinger Nail Varnish ($14.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "platinum gold."  Yeah, I'd buy that.  To use my own words, I'd describe it as a champagne-gold with a little grit and dirt in it--it's not a yellowy gold really, but it's not quite dark and...

MAC Electric Cool Eyeshadow (Part 2)

Infra-violet is a vibrant fuchsia-magenta with a violet iridescence. It has decent color payoff, and it actually performs better on the lid in terms of pigmentation--it has some very slight fading over time. Make Up For Ever #89 is more magenta. Both Urban Decay Fishnet and MAC Stars 'n Rockets are less pink, more purple. Bare Escentuals Boudoir is very similar though has less iridescence.
