Lip Gloss Review: L'Oreal 300 Orange Tempo Colour Riche Extraordinaire Lip Color

Lip GlossL'Oreal Colour Riche Extraordinaire Lip Color in 300 Orange Tempo
Availability: It seems like this has been discontinued.
Would I buy this again?: Yes.
Notes:   I'd say this shade is a very vivid tangerine orange/ persimmon shade with a very soft hint of a gold micro-shimmer throughout. This is a very opaque gloss and looks great on its own. 
  In terms of texture, this gloss is very smooth and glides on easily and I like the tapered applicator, it makes the product easy to apply. This has quite a pungent sweet, tangy, kind of citrusy scent. I dig it but, to each their own. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

L'oreal Golden Emerald Infallible Eyeshadow Review

Today I'll be reviewing the L'oreal Paris Infallible Eyeshadow in Golden Emerald
AvailabilityDue to this being a drugstore item its price and availability will vary, you receive 3.5 g (0.12 oz) of product per pan and it averages around $7-8, at least from what I'm seeing on Google.
Would I buy this again? Possibly.
NotesThese have been catching my eye at the drugstore for years now and I figured I'd try out this pretty green. 
Golden Emerald has been kind of my color of the moment, I'm really liking smoky greens and olives lately. This shade is a deep brown, almost black, base with a layer of green pearl and then loaded with gold and a bit of silver micro-shimmer. It's so beautiful and I think it would probably be even more dope if used damp. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Lip Gloss Review: Christian Dior 775 Darling Rouge Dior Brilliant

Lip Gloss: Christian Dior Rouge Dior Brilliant in 775 Darling
Availability: This appears to have been discontinued.
Would I buy this again?: I don't think so.
Notes:  I'd say this gloss is a fuchsia pink with a hint of red. It gives a nice wash of color but isn't full-on opaque. 
  In terms of texture, this gloss is very smooth and glides on easily, it  has a beautiful cushiony texture that just glides over the lips and isn't one bit sticky and feels lovely on. That said the price is kinda steep though. :/

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Lip Color Review: Anastasia Beverly Hills Paint Liquid Lipstick

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Paint
AvailabilityThis particular shade appears to have been discontinued.
Would I buy this again?: Maybe.
Notes: This color is described as a metallic admiral blue. I have to agree with that, it's a metallic royal blue borderline navy color that's just... as much as I like the other similar colors in my collection I'm glad I have this because they're all different and have cool subtle nuances that make them unique. I'd say the finish is satiny, it never fully sets or turns matte. Wear time is around 6+ hours. This smells kind of chemically.

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions. :)

Lorac Mega Pro 3 Palette Review

The big moment we've all been waiting for - I managed to get my greedy sea-hands on this box of gorgeousness. We are about to embark on a journey featuring review and swatches galore. Strap yourselves in folksickles.
AvailabilityThis appears to have been discontinued.
Would I buy this again? Yes.
NotesThe palette contains 32 shadows, 16 of which are matte/satin and 16 which are pearly/frosty. You are essentially getting two of their pro palettes stacked into one. They are absolutely beautiful in their textures and work well with one another. I haven't had an issue with pigmentation or anything of that kind. This palette is very heavy on rosy warm-tones; I would say it feels more autumn than it does holiday, but out of everything being released this holiday season this is by far my favorite out of the neutral palettes thus far. I can't stand that the packaging is white. I get that white + rose gold is a lovely combination but this is eyeshadow and a slightly rubberized cardboard package that y'all know is going to get dirty and be difficult to clean. I am not impressed with that aspect of it at all because... OCD. Let's get on with it.
Pink Cream - a soft off-white shade with a hint of pink.
Tan - a soft, warm medium flesh-tone.
Pecan - a soft warm medium-dark flesh-tone.
Walnut - a warm, mid-tone-to-deep brown.

Dusty Mauve - a gorgeous plummy rosy mauve. One of my favorites in the palette. 
Violet Gray - a very grayed purple-y mauve tone.
Eggplant - a rosy eggplant purple. 
Dark Navy - this is almost more of a black with a hint of navy in it. 
Crepe - a satiny off-white with a very slight, subtle pink sheen.
Toffee - a soft, warm, light pink-y fleshy tone.
Mist - a grayish white with a bit of a blue tone to it. 
Vintage -  a satiny khaki green-brown.
Hickory - a deep cool-toned brown.
Maple- gorgeous warm, reddish brown. I love this.  
Bark - a deep auburn-brown. 
Jet Black - rich matte black, yaaaaas. I love it when matte blacks are rich and buttery like this as so many times a good black like this is hard to find. 
Snow - a very frosted white.
Cava - very champagne-toned, really pretty for an all-over lid color. 
Cider - a very warm, pinkish mid-tone shade. 
Bellini - a warm, whitish peachy pink. 
Brown Sugar - a warm metallic brown with a hint of red. 
Sequoia - a deep metallic auburn... it's much prettier in person, I gotta say. 
Glacier - slightly blue-toned silver. 
Deep Fog - a satiny charcoal gunmetal color. 
Tulle - a soft whitish pink champagne.
Pink Bronze - a warm mid-tone coppery bronze. 
Rust - if actual rust were pretty, it would look like this. A coppery tone with an intense reddish-pink pearl. 
Rose Quartz- a coppery rosy metallic mauve.
Olive - a metallic warm olive tone with a hint of brown. 
Dark Roast - a deep, metallic cool-toned brown. 
Pomegranate - a shimmery pinkish red. 
Licorice - this is a satiny black with pink shimmer.
