Illamasqua Baptiste Nail Varnish ($14.00 for 0.5 fl. oz.) is a stunning shade of shimmering royal purple with flecks of red and fuchsia-violet shimmer. It's gorgeous in the light as well as out of it; it looks inkier when in the shade, but when the light hits it, all of...
MAC Media Lipstick ($14.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a deep, dark red wine. This is a shade that also works particularly well as a lip stain--just layer a little on, blot, and then dab a touch of clear gloss on top and voila. For a satin finish, Media is very......
Smashbox Golden Nude Photo Finish Lid Primer ($20.00 for 0.08 oz.) is a shimmering peach-gold colored eyeshadow primer. Smashbox says you can use this alone as a wash, lid corrector, or as a base...
Cle de Peau T3 Extra Rich Lipstick
Cle de Peau Baby Julia (T3) Extra Rich Lipstick ($60.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a very subtly rose-tinted nude. It goes on opaque in just one layer, and it makes lips look very full. It has ultra fine white/soft gold shimmer and a slightly glossy finish. It borders on...
Burberry Union Red (17) Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.13 oz.) is an orange-based red lipstick with a subtle shine and nearly imperceptible shimmer. It's opaque in just one layer, and it wears comfortably on lips, as it feels lightweight and smooth. With these deeper red...
Estee Lauder Surreal Violet Nail Lacquer ($18.00 for 0.3 fl. oz.) is a gray-toned pink-mauve with copper-bronze shimmer. It's a little on the sheerer side with two coats, but it was nearly opaque, so I left the...
Benefit La La Land Lipstick ($18.00 for oz.) is a pinky-brown nude with full-color coverage and a light, glossy sheen and no perceptible shimmer. I love this with a lighter smoky eye or paired with greens. It's dark enough to be worn on its own for a...
Guerlain Teint Rose Meteorites Powder ($56.00 for 1.05 oz.) is the last of the three new, reformulated Meteorites powders we have to review. Previously, we reviewed Teint Beige and Teint Dore. These can be used as highlighters or all over the...
Burberry Almond (06) Eyeshadow ($29.00 for 0.088 oz.) is a soft, medium brown with just a touch of warmer, more golden undertones, but very subtly so. This would make a great contouring shade for those with fairer, paler skin, and it would work well as an all over...
MAC Odyssey Lipstick ($14.50 for 0.10 oz.) is an opaque, berry-wine with a frost finish. Odyssey is definitely a staple MAC shade for me--it's perfect for the fall and winter, but it's not too dark. It's a great choice for someone who doesn't quite want to...
