Tom Ford Beauty Lumiere D'hiver Eye Color Quad ($90.00 for 0.35 oz.) is a new, limited edition offering for the holiday season that featured two matte eyeshadows and two shimmery eyeshadows. I did not feel that any of the eyeshadows performed that well; for the price point, obviously a massive miss! Lumiere d'Hiver #1 is a very pale beige with neutral-to-warm undertones that almost went cool-toned against my particular complexion. Medium, somewhat buildable coverage Lightly powdery, somewhat thin; best paired with a primer Tended to sheer out when blended Short-wearing (6.5 hours) Lumiere d'Hiver #2 is a light-medium brown with Continue Reading…

Chanel Duo Lumiere Illuminating Powder Duo ($70.00 for 0.26 oz.) includes a peachy champagne and a lighter, champagne gold that combine to create a soft, golden peach with flecks of gold sparkle throughout. It had more of a translucent base, so it will definitely take on the depth and tone of one's natural coloring more than some highlighters. It did have a more "glittery" finish, which I know some love and others steer clear of. Semi-sheer to medium, buildable pigmentation Smooth, finely-milled, lightly emollient; no powderiness Applied evenly and blended out well Long-wearing (8.5 hours before fading)

It's been two months or so since I did a big organization/clean-out. It was shortly after formally announcing I was going to step back and work a little less on the blog, and it encouraged me to really start to tackle my archives!

ColourPop Cloud 9 Palette is a new, smoky/gray color story in a 12-pan format. The quality was as expected for ColourPop, though I'd say the shimmers felt a bit firmer and were more emollient while being on the thinner side, which is not my favorite texture from the brand as I find it doesn't work as well with brushes. Here are swatches!

Chanel Fancy Prune (91) Rouge Allure Laque (2020) ($45.00 for 0.18 oz.) is a subdued, brownish-burgundy with subtle, warm undertones and a lightly, metallic finish with fine pearl. Semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation Lightweight, thin, spreadable Applied fairly evenly, set quickly, comfortable to wear Long-wearing (6.5 hours before breaking down), lightly hydrating

It's very seldom that I do, otherwise I would need even more space than my makeup takes up, lol! I might keep particularly interesting press kits or boxes for a couple of months on display and then eventually recycle.

There are three variations of the Pat McGrath Bijoux Brilliance Cheek Trios with them basically being lighter-leaning, more medium-leaning, and deeper-leaning. Each trio includes a bronzer (all from the permanent range), blush (all new shades), and highlighter (all new shades). While the blushes are new shades, I felt like they covered similar territory as past releases, so you may find the trios redundant if you have a lot of Divine Blushes already. The quality felt slightly thinner/dustier compared to the permanent range, particularly with respect to the lightest highlighter. Here are swatches!
