Weekend Quickies: YSL Parisian Sky Eyeshadow Palette

YSL's Spring Look may have offered some pretty lipsticks and glosses, but they really failed on the eyeshadow palette as far as I'm concerned. The whole thing is a sheer, chalky mess. I haven't been this disappointed in a product since Chanel's...

The Summer Season: NYX Chloe Lipstick

NYX Chloe Lipstick ($4.00) is a darkened fuchsia-red with iridescent violet-fuchsia sheen. This is definitely a bold, bright shade with a frosty finish. I could see this shade working really well with some thick, retro liquid liner. I didn't notice any scent...

Korres Eyeshadows

Korres Eyeshadows

Korres Eyeshadows ($16.00 for 0.06 oz.) are smooth, blendable, and pigmented.  I'm actually surprised at how well-rounded Korres' line is, just because I came to know them as a skincare brand first, rather than a makeup brand, but they can do both well.
