Bite Beauty’s Multistick collection
I’m not exactly first out of the gate, reviewing these. I’m not even “first out of the gate for people who don’t get early press samples.” These were out for a year and a half before I tried my first one. I got Cashew in the Champagne Discovery set, and liked the application and versatility. I use a lot of my blushes and face colors on my eyelids, but rarely use any lip products, because they’re...
Shiro Cosmetics’ Frangipanic
This color changes character quitea bit when applied! The base color is really obscured by the finish, which is both pearl-smooth and utterly nonreflective. It’s also quite ashy-looking. It’s not really suitable for use as a liner, because even if you wanted a lighter brown, the finish lightens this color quite a lot.
Dawn Eyes Cosmetics’ Pink Chrome
The color isn’t quite as “tulip-pink” as it appears in the pot, but it’s a little deeper than “baby” or “ballerina” pink. The color payoff was pretty good, and there doesn’t appear to be any base blackening or white-ish base.
Aromaleigh v2.1’s Vernicia
Aromaleigh v2.1’s Singing Lyre
Zoya’s Talia
I love this shade of blue! It's saturated without being dark navy or a vivid bright.
Zoya’s Cinnamon
I like this color, but I wish the formula was just a little bit better. It doesn’t self-level nearly as well as it could, with some visible “furrows” on some of my nails in...
Zoya’s Island Fun collection
Medium-depth vivid colors with a creme finish. All are totally opaque, and most of them are a bit stubborn to remove. Most of the shades have near-dupes from other lines and collections, but one -...
Shiro Cosmetics’ Matching Flower Crowns
Very similar to TKB Trading’s Pearl Green, but with far better application and adhesion (which makes sense, since TKB’s Pearl colors are unblended micas.) The faint hints of coral that are visible in...
Shiro Cosmetics / Detrivore’s The Hollow Dark
Black under-layer, and a mix of navy and deep turquoise as the primary visible color. The shade is opaque enough that I think it will work well on any skintone without any lessened color payoff....
