LORAC Private Affair Palette

LORAC Private Affair Palette

An Ill-Fated Private Affair with LORAC

LORAC Private Affair Palette ($38.00 for 0.30 oz.) is an enigma, let me tell you! I've experienced shades that swatch poorly but work beautifully in practice (NARS Daphne, I'm lookin' at you!). I can't think of many occasions where...

Milani Runway Eyeshadow: Royalty

Milani Royalty Runway Eyeshadow ($5.99 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium fuchsia purple with a lilac sheen.  It's like a purple version of MAC Stars 'n Rockets (without the duochrome).  It's semi-sheer when used dry, and it's still a little...

Chanel Rouge Fatal Le Vernis

The Femme Fatale of Red

Chanel Rouge Fatal Le Vernis ($25.00 for 0.4 fl. oz.) is one of those OMGSEXY reds, and of course, limited edition. I'm actually very rarely tempted by red creams; they're never bad and certainly aren't disliked by me, but I never...

Milani Runway Eyeshadow: Leaf Green

Milani Leaf Green Runway Eyeshadow ($5.99 for 0.07 oz.) looks like a medium grassy (or leafy, I suppose) green, but in actuality, it swatches as a chartreuse green with stronger yellow undertones.  It's semi-sheer when applied...

Milani Caribbean Sea Runway Eyeshadow

Milani Runway Eyeshadow: Caribbean Sea

Milani Caribbean Sea Runway Eyeshadow ($5.99 for 0.07 oz.) is such a pretty shade of aqua blue... if you use it wet.  When used dry, it's rather lackluster and almost takes on a greenish cast; it's also on the sheer side. ...
