Chanel's La Perle de Chanel Collection recently launched online (and I have no idea if it'll make its way to stores, and if it does, when) with several limited edition products. I bought some, but not all, and it was mostly a let-down for me, unfortunately. I liked Mysterio...
Tom Ford's Spring collection is short and sweet with products for eyes and nails. My favorite product was Spring 2015 Cream Color for Eyes, as I'm a huge fan of his cream eyeshadow formula for its rich color payoff, impressive long-wear, and blendability. The new Eye...
The upcoming MAC x Cinderella collection features a mix of products for eyes, lips, and face. The products come in limited edition, shimmery blue packaging that has a slight iridescent quality to it, but the plastic itself is almost semi-matte so it's not as shimmery as you might think. Most of the...
Hourglass Modernist Eyeshadow Palettes ($58.00 for 0.175 oz. each) debuted this spring as a new formula from the brand. There are seven variations, and each palette has five different shades. I didn't like any of them, and I would never use any of these again personally, because they're just far too...
Tom Ford Lip Color Matte ($50.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a satin to matte formula with six permanent shades (and two limited edition shades). The formula is good overall with a few shades that could use some improvement and only one that was a miss from my experience. The texture has a more velvety, smooth...
Maybelline Color Elixir Iridescent Lipgloss ($8.99 for 0.17 fl. oz.) was a miss in my experience, due to a low color payoff, shorter wear times, and a stronger, more noticeable perfume-like taste. While these are comfortable to wear and most shades are rather hydrating, the taste seemed stronger...
Maybelline Color Sensational Rebel Bloom Lip Colors ($7.49 for 0.14 oz.) were less impressive compared to the regular and Vivids range (the Vivids being one of my favorite lipstick formulas). If they were marketed as a sheerer formula, they might have worked better, but as-is, they're not as...
Urban Decay Sheer Revolution Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.09 oz.) is a range of ten shades that are sheerer, but still more pigmented than not, compared to the original Revolution formula. The shades are inspired by (with the exception of Sheer Slowburn) shades in the original range as well, so if you own...
The collection featured an assortment of pink and coral-toned shades, much in the way that one would expect for a spring-timed launch. I was disappointed with one of the star products of the launch (Jardin de Chanel), as the texture was stiffer, while the product...
With 50 shades, you're bound to get a few misses, but by and large, about half of the collection was less impressive. I know that my "marker" is I'm looking for B+ or better, which left 17 of the 50 as performing B or less (or 34%). I think that while it was a good idea to breakdown the colors into...
