Pretty Vulgar Sparkling Sass Shimmering Swan Highlighter Review & Swatches

Sparkling Sass

Pretty Vulgar Sparkling Sass Shimmering Swan Highlighter ($32.00 for 0.20 oz.) is a medium gold with warm, orange undertones and a metallic sheen. The texture was incredibly soft and finely-milled with a velvety feel that bordered on cream-like. It had opaque color payoff that applied well to bare skin with even, smooth coverage that blended out with little effort. It stopped just short of emphasizing my skin’s natural texture, but I could see it potentially doing so on more textured skin. This shade stayed on well for nine hours before I noticed any fading.

P.S. — Mine is broken because I managed to drop it from about five feet onto hardwood floor while getting it out of the box, so it was as if I threw it onto the ground.

Pretty Vulgar Glow Up Shimmering Swan Highlighter Review & Swatches

Glow Up

Pretty Vulgar Glow Up Shimmering Swan Highlighter ($32.00 for 0.20 oz.) is a light, golden peach with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, moderately dense, almost cream-like consistency that was easy to apply and blend out on my skin. The product did not emphasize my skin’s natural texture, but it was a stronger highlighter so it wouldn’t be for someone looking for something subtle. This shade wore well for nine hours on me before fading slightly.

Pretty Vulgar Nightingale Eyeshadow Palette Review, Photos, Swatches

Christine — Fri, 14 Jul 2017 18:00:00 +0000

Nightingale

Pretty Vulgar Nightingale Eyeshadow Palette ($35.00 for 0.55 oz.) contains 12 eyeshadows in an arrangement of soft, neutral shades with a cooler, grayer tones. The palette is made out of sturdy cardboard and has a large mirror underneath the lid. The eyeshadow formula is supposed to be “ultra-smooth, color-rich, blendable” that is “long-wearing” and “supremely creamy.” My experience with these as hit or miss; some shades were amazing but others were hard to work with. I have no idea how the brand managed to make such a poor beige eyeshadow!

Nocturnal

Nocturnal is a light beige with neutral undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was surprisingly stiff–it was hard to get coverage out of it as nothing would translate on the brush without jabbing at the surface. It wore for six hours on me from what I could tell.

Break Free

Break Free is a bright, white gold with a pearly sheen. It translated to a much lighter, whiter shade with barely any gold/yellow tint to it (and I’m warm-toned!). The consistency was soft, smooth, and blendable on the lid and yielded good pigmentation, though not quite opaque. It wore well for eight hours on me.

Hide & Seek

Hide & Seek is a medium taupe with neutral-to-warm undertones and a matte finish. It had medium, buildable coverage, which was part of why it appeared warmer swatched than in the pan, though I did feel it looked warmer just by dusting product off the surface. The consistency was soft, a little dusty but not prone to sheering out. It lasted for seven and a half hours before fading.

Pretty Vulgar Early Bird Eyeshadow Palette ($35.00 for 0.55 oz.) contains 12 eyeshadows in an arrangement of soft, neutral shades with a peach/pink leaning. The palette is made out of sturdy cardboard and has a large mirror underneath the lid. The eyeshadow formula is supposed to be “ultra-smooth, color-rich, blendable” that is “long-wearing” and “supremely creamy.” I was less impressed with this palette compared to the Prettie Birdie palette. This one had several shades that had more medium to semi-opaque pigmentation with only a handful that were truly pigmented. Many of the eyeshadows in this palette were powdery or dusty, which led to shorter wear and more difficult application.

Tweet is a pale pink with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had medium color coverage that was somewhat buildable (up to semi-opaque pigmentation). The texture was soft but dusty, so there was excess product that kicked up in the pan. It wore well for six hours on me.

Wink

Wink is a soft, peachy gold with warm undertones and a pearly shimmer. It had semi-sheer pigmentation that did not build up at all, and the texture was noticeably dusty and prone to sheering out further so it did not have much coverage. This shade seemed best used patted over another shade for added shimmer. It started to disappear after six hours of wear.

Chirp

Chirp is a light-medium pink with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. The eyeshadow had semi-opaque pigmentation paired with a soft, dusty consistency that sheered out a bit when I applied it to bare skin. It performed better over a primer, which gave it more to adhere to. The color started to fade on me after six and a half hours.

True Colors

True Colors is a light-medium, pinky mauve with warmer undertones and a glittery, metallic finish. The texture was soft, more loosely pressed in the pan, which resulted in chunkier product coming off of the pan’s surface. It was messy to use on the lid as well as kicked up a lot of excess product within the pan. It had good pigmentation, though, and mostly opaque coverage on the lid itself (even after the fallout). The eyeshadow stayed on well for seven and a half hours, though there was a bit of additional fallout while worn.

Pretty Vulgar Pretty Birdie Eyeshadow Palette Review, Photos, Swatches

Christine — Thu, 01 Jun 2017 18:00:00 +0000

Pretty Birdie

Pretty Vulgar Pretty Birdie Eyeshadow Palette ($35.00 for 0.55 oz.) contains 12 eyeshadows in an arrangement of brighter, more colorful hues in a variety of finishes. The palette is made out of sturdy cardboard and has a large mirror underneath the lid. The eyeshadow formula is supposed to be “ultra-smooth, color-rich, blendable” that is “long-wearing” and “supremely creamy.” The palette was fairly good–not perfect but surprisingly workable without a primer–with semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation, slightly dusty textures, and six to eight-hour wear. If you normally wear eyeshadow primer, a lot of the issues iron themselves out.

Ego

Ego is a medium, coppery brown with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It was richly pigmented and had a smooth, blendable texture that wasn’t too firmly pressed in the pan. The eyeshadow stayed on well for eight hours on me.

Songbird

Songbird is a deep, reddish brown with warm undertones and a frosted sheen. It had opaque color payoff that applied evenly to bare skin, and the soft, smooth texture made it easy to blend out on the lid without losing intensity. This shade wore well for eight hours on my eyelid.

Brilliant

Brilliant is a muted, medium-dark purple with neutral-to-cool undertones and a sparkling, metallic sheen. The pigmentation was great, while the texture was a bit looser in the pan, which caused some fallout during application if I wasn’t very careful. It was blendable, though, and adhered evenly to bare skin. It started to fade on me after seven and a half hours of wear.

Fancy

Fancy is a bright, light-medium aqua blue with cooler undertones and warmer, golden shimmer. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied decently bare skin but would need a primer underneath it to really perform well. The texture was firmer in the pan, but it was still surprisingly blendable in practice. I noticed that the color seemed to fade a bit initially, and then hang on from there for seven hours before further fading.

Snitch

Snitch is a muted, medium-dark red with neutral-to-warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was drier and almost gritty–like it wasn’t finely-milled–which has been something I experience frequently with red, powder eyeshadows, so it wasn’t a surprise. It had medium, buildable pigmentation, and it blended out just fine when I applied it to my lid. The eyeshadow wore well for seven hours before fading.

Formation

Formation is a muted, medium-dark copper brown with warm, red undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage with two layers. The eyeshadow felt smooth, not too thin or too dense, and blendable without being overly dusty in the pan, though it had a little bit of excess product that kicked up in the pan when used. This shade lasted well for seven and a half hours on me.

Nevermore

Nevermore is a deep, bluish teal with cool undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow was nearly opaque in a single layer, and it was easily built up to opaque coverage by just patting the smallest amount on top of the initial layer. It had a soft, smooth, and blendable texture that wasn’t too firmly pressed into the pan nor was it powdery in the pan. It wore nicely for seven and a half hours on me.

Pretty Vulgar Sweet Revenge Make Them Blush Powder Blush Review, Photos, Swatches

Christine — Sat, 13 May 2017 16:00:00 +0000

Sweet Revenge

Pretty Vulgar Sweet Revenge Make Them Blush Powder Blush ($26.00 for 0.20 oz.) is a slightly muted, medium coral-orange with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with a very subtle sheen–more like a “natural matte” blush when applied and diffused on the cheeks.

The formula is supposed to have “silky smooth” feel, long-wear, and be “pigment-rich.” I would describe the formula as thin with buildable coverage from medium, and long-wearing, but it was by no means “pigment-rich” as it took two to three layers for more opaque coverage. The powder was thinner and harder to diffuse and blend out on the skin; it was the type of product that tended to stick strongly wherever it was initially applied and would take stronger buffing to pull and spread the color outward. It wore well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Pretty Vulgar Baby Doll Against BS, Blood Flower, Darling Be Daring Bury Them with a Smile Matte Lipsticks Reviews, Photos, Swatches

Christine — Fri, 12 May 2017 12:00:00 +0000

Baby Doll Against BS

Pretty Vulgar Baby Doll Against BS Bury Them with a Smile Matte Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium pink with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had good pigmentation–just shy of full coverage–that applied evenly across the lips and did not drag or tug. The consistency was smooth, thin but not clingy, and comfortable to wear for the four hours this shade lasted on me, though there was some color that had sunk into my lip lines (both initially as well as later on during wear). The formula felt neither drying nor hydrating over time.

It’s supposed to have “full coverage” with a hydrating, “long-lasting” formula and an “ultimate matte finish.” I only purchased three shades (there are eight) to try, but based on those three, the formula has a smooth, velvety consistency that is thinner but not clingy. There was enough slip that they did not tug when applied directly to the lips, but they did not slide around while worn. There was a tendency for color to settle into my lip lines a bit, which was more noticeable with the lightest shade I tried. They lasted between four to six and a half hours and were non-drying. I didn’t notice any scent or taste.

Blood Flower

Pretty Vulgar Blood Flower Bury Them with a Smile Matte Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a bold, medium-dark red with cool, blue undertones and a satin finish. The color payoff was mostly opaque, but my lip freckle peeked through slightly. The color applied evenly, which made it easy to wear on its own (sometimes, deeper shades can appear streaky when they are not full coverage). It had a thin, lightweight texture that was velvety in feel and did not drag on the lips. The color lasted well for over six and a half hours on me, while the formula was non-drying.

Mirror Mirror

Pretty Vulgar Mirror, Mirror Make Them Blush Powder Blush ($26.00 for 0.20 oz.) is an intense, bright pink with cooler undertones and warmer, gold shimmer. It was richly pigmented–a little went a long way–and even a light hand would be highly recommended to start, regardless of your skin tone! The base color is cooler, while the gold shimmer adds noticeable warmth, though it still looked a little cooler-toned when blended out on my skin tone but may appear cooler on cool undertones and warmer on those with stronger, warm undertones.

The formula is supposed to have “silky smooth” feel, long-wear, and be “pigment-rich.” The powder was smooth, dense but not stiff or difficult to pick up, and very blendable on the skin. The latter was absolutely key given how pigmented the product was, and while shimmery, it did not emphasize my skin’s natural texture at all. When I tested the blush for wear, the color wore exceptionally well for nine hours before I started to see some fading.
