I don't have any that I'm looking for right now! I am... surprisingly satisfied with what I have.

Recent Purchases/Rediscoveries: My PMG holiday order finally arrived! I also bought a few things from Dior and Chanel's holiday collections. Weekend plans: I'm volunteering later today at the rescue to help intake a pregnant mama and a mama with week-old newborns. Tomorrow, I'm planning on doing some photographing/swatching of new things that came in this past week. Do you do anything for Halloween? No, we are the un-fun house that goes dark, lol! It's like there are just enough trick or treaters to make it difficult to do much beyond handing out candy yet not enough to keep one fully Continue Reading…

Revlon Smokin' Hot ColorStay Satin Ink Liquid Lipstick ($12.39 for 0.17 oz.) is a neon orange with moderate, warm undertones and a glossy, cream finish. This shade was prone to emphasizing lip texture and almost looking "clumpy" in places, despite my lips being very much exfoliated properly! Opaque pigmentation Very fluid, spreadable, creamy Thicker, hard to apply evenly Set to a lightly-to-moderately tacky feel, no lifting Transfer-resistant until eating Long-wearing (6 hours of wear, more prone to fading unevenly)

I don't think there is a specific color I am lusting after, but I would still love to get more satin finishes in just about ANY shade.

MAC Jingle Tingle Sparkler Eyeshadow ($25.00 for 0.04 oz.) Semi-opaque, somewhat buildable pigmentation Lightly emollient, smooth, not powdery nor too stiff Applied evenly and blended out well Long-wearing (8 hours) MAC Gold Crush Sparkler Eyeshadow ($25.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a light-medium, golden copper with a more translucent base and a sparkly finish with lots of gold and copper reflects. Semi-sheer coverage, somewhat buildable (best with tacky base) Moderately powdery, prone to fallout Hard to apply without fallout Average-wearing (7 hours with fallout)

ColourPop Moon Kingdom Pressed Powder Highlighter ($12.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a vivid lavender with subtle, warmer undertones and a blue-violet duochrome finish that gave it a slightly metallic sheen when applied to skin. Opaque coverage Smooth, lightly emollient without being powdery Applied evenly and blended out well Long-wearing (8 hours)

Revlon Lady Topaz ColorStay Satin Ink Liquid Lipstick ($10.99 for 0.17 oz.) is a darker, reddish-coral with a pinker stain that seemed to come through after a couple of minutes of wear. There were fine gold flecks throughout the glossy, cream-like finish. Opaque pigmentation Very fluid, spreadable, creamy Slightly thicker/easier to over-apply Set to a lightly-to-moderately tacky feel, no lifting Transfer-resistant until eating Very long-wearing (10 hours of wear but doesn't make it through two meals well)

I have plenty to go through still via MJB Flesh & Fantasy, but I eventually, I'm going to need a good pinky-brown with a satin finish.
