NARS x Man Ray Deep Throat/Barbara Love Triangle

NARS Deep Throat/Barbara Man Ray Love Triangle ($24.00 for 0.17 oz.) contains two shades from NARS' permanent line in miniature-sizes -- a pink-coral blush and a rosy beige lipstick. Both were nice and consistent with full-sized versions that I have tried in the past.

ColourPop Truth Be Told Ultra Satin Lip Trio

ColourPop Truth Be Told Ultra Satin Lip Trio ($15.00 for 0.33 oz.) contains a rich burgundy, bright plum, and deep red. One shade (Cashing Out) was underwhelming--it wasn't opaque, didn't apply well--but the other two were fantastic: pigmented, long-wearing, and beautiful,...

Chanel Trait de Caractere Eyeshadow Palette

Chanel Trait de Caractere Eyeshadow Palette ($70.00 for 0.31 oz.) is a smoky, earthy set of shades housed in a black compact. I wanted to like it, as it was a more unusual set of shades for the holiday season, but the formula is just so powdery, prone to sheering out, and...

Urban Decay Vice Metal Meets Matte Vice Lipstick Palette

CSB is a deep plum with subtle, cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff in a single layer, which wasn't too buildable from there. The texture was smooth, creamy without being heavy nor was it too thin. It applied evenly with slight color...
