NYX Apricot HD Blush

NYX Apricot HD Blush ($16.50 for 0.25 oz. ) is medium-dark coral-red with a soft, satiny shimmer-sheen. The color initially reminded me of Chanel Rouge, which is certainly redder and more intense--with a light hand, they're comparable. It also reminded me of the original MAC...

Illamasqua Violate Sheer Lipgloss

Illamasqua Violate Sheer Lipgloss (£13.00 for 0.20 oz.) is described as a "dark green shimmer." The brand's Sheer Lipgloss is rather self-explanatory--it's a sheerer gloss that adds shine. This is definitely not as opaque as the Intense Lipglosses, but I'd say it's more...

Illamasqua Havoc Precision Ink Liquid Eyeliner

Illamasqua Havoc Precision Ink Liquid Eyeliner ($27.50 for 0.06 oz.) is described as an "aubergine" by Illamasqua and "burgundy brown" by Sephora. I reviewed the formula here, and I wore and tested Havoc and had the same results. It's long-wearing and waterproof once it dries...

Deborah Lippmann Do Ya Think I'm Sexy Nail Lacquer

Deborah Lippmann Do Ya Think I'm Sexy Nail Lacquer ($18.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) contains hexagonal red-hued glitter suspended in a fairly thick, clear base. It's something that would work better for layering than alone, because I couldn't get near to opaque in two coats. You'll...

Illamasqua Kontrol Lipstick

Illamasqua Kontrol Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.14 oz.) is described as a "blue-violet" by Illamasqua, while Sephora lists it as a "matte deep lavender." The texture of Kontrol is actually quite different from Illamasqua's line of lipsticks--it's very, very creamy. It's not dry at...
