Dolce & Gabbana Divine Eyeshadow Quad

Dolce & Gabbana Divine Eyeshadow Quad

Dolce & Gabbana Divine Eyeshadow Quad ($59.00 for 0.16 oz.) looks like a beautiful, elegant mix of feminine colors that seem neutral--not too cool, not too warm.  I've always liked Dolce & Gabbana's eyeshadows in the past (like Dazzling, Gold, Laguna), and I really...

Guerlain 2 Place Vendome Eyeshadow Palette

Is this palette worth $84?

I know that it probably sounds funny, but after reviewing and being disappointed by Guerlain's Rue de Francs Bourgeois Eyeshadow Palette, I felt the need to determine whether the palettes were a miss in general or perhaps just that...

The Hue of Sage Green

Urban Decay Urb Eyeshadow ($17.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a sage green with antique gold glitter flecks. It's a very smooth shade that's pigmented but the color itself is softer, so it's not a bright or intense shade of green. I love the slight golden sheen...

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...

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. ...
