Eyeliner Review: Incendio Beauty Poseidon Eyeliner Potion

Today's eyeliner review is going to be on Incendio Beauty Eyeliner Potion in Poseidon
As a base, on the upper lash-line, and waterline
Availability: Unfortunately Incendio is no longer in business.
Would I buy this again? Probably.
NotesThis shade is described as a perfect ocean blue. Personally I'd say this is an aquatic royal blue with the slightest hint of shimmer. This is super easy to work with, it glides onto the lid easily and smoothly. In terms of wear I had this on for a bit over 8 hours and it looked pretty freshly applied on the upper lash-line and a bit faded but still on the waterline. Thumbs up.

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

Stila Smoky Storm Magnificent Metals Liquid Eyeshadow

Hey folksickles, today I'll be reviewing the Stila Magnificent Metals Liquid Eyeshadow in Smoky Storm.
Availability: It appears that this particular shade has been discontinued.
Would I buy this?: Damn right I would.
Notes: There has been quite a bit of hype going around on the Youtube about these and I've been meaning to try them out.
Smoky Storm is described as a light pewter & silver. This is a metallic pewter-taupe base with gold and silver micro-glitter. It's beautiful on its own or sheered out as a top-coat. I really wanted a glitter that would work with more neutral tones to give them a glittery pop now and again with adding color and this really does a wonderful job of it. It's long lasting and doesn't bother my eyes. I really like this and honestly would like to pick up the more duo-chrome/multi-chrome looking ones. 

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

Candle Review: Bath & Body Works Honeysuckle Scented Candle

Hifolks, so I have another home fragrance post for you. 
Candle: Bath & Body Works Scented Candle in Honeysuckle.
Availability: This scent comes and goes but it currently appears to be unavailable at this time.
Would I buy this again?: Yes!
Notes: In previous candle reviews I often would explain why I picked a particular scent, in terms of this it's because it's nostalgic to me. When I was younger, maybe around 11-12, my family used to go to this cabin-type place in upstate New York and the roadway to the pool there always smelled of honeysuckle, it takes me back to those times. 
Here's what I'm getting from smelling the candle cold - there is a sweet honeysuckle scent with something reminiscent of a lemony/citrusy scent. 
As the wax warms and burns, the scent intensifies, though it doesn't change. 
I find this candle melts and burns very well; it has a powerful throw that smells up my whole room. Personally I love this fragrance and find it to be somewhat more floral and well-rounded versus their other Honeysuckle options. 

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

Candle Review: Bath & Body Works Tea & Lemon Scented Candle

Hi folks, so I have another home fragrance post for you.
Candle: Bath & Body Works Scented Candle in Tea & Lemon.
Availability: This scent comes and goes but appears to be unavailable at this time.
Would I buy this again?: Yes!
Notes: In previous candle reviews I often would explain why I picked a particular scent, in terms of this, I bought it because it smells a lot like Bath & Body Works Scented Candle in London Calling.
Here's what I'm getting from smelling the candle cold - it smells like a very straightforward black tea with lemon. 
As the wax warms and burns, the scent intensifies, though it doesn't change. 
I find this candle melts and burns very well, I love the scent as it's very cozy and comforting; I adore tea scents. I've actually used this whole thing up already. 

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

AvailabilityThis palette has been discontinued.
Would I buy this again? Probably not.
NotesThe palette contains 10 shadows and a highlighter. They are absolutely beautiful in their textures (for the most part) and work well with one another. I haven't had an issue with pigmentation or anything of that kind. I love the name of it and its magical vibes, I love all the metallic shades in here. So pretty!

Pixie - is described as a golden pink shimmer; to me it's a warm peach base with an intense golden pearl.
Myth - is described as a matte nude; to me it's a warm pinky mauve, a great blending out/transition shade.
Magic - is described as a bronze shimmer; to me it's a warm shimmery bronze with gold and white micro-shimmer.
Wings - is described as a copper shimmer; to me it's a copper shimmer with golden white micro-glitter.
Marvel - is described as a metallic sage shimmer; to me it's a very warm, metallic golden light green.
Trance - is described as a taupe slate shimmer; to me it's a gorgeous metallic taupe with a bit of a warm golden pearl running through it. 
Fairy - is described as a metallic lavender shimmer; to me this is a strong purple based LOADED with an intense silver pearl and silver micro-glitter.
Mystic -is described as a blue pearl shimmer; to me this is a very heavily grayed blue with an intense silver pearl and silver micro-glitter
Dream - is described as a turquoise shimmer; this is fairly true to its description, a beautiful shimmery turquoise. 
Crystal - is described as an iridescent champagne shimmer; I'd say this shade is a golden mauve.

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

Would I buy this again? Yes because of the colors but Too Faced doesn't exactly have the best history so... I don't know.
NotesThe palette contains 18 shadows in varying shades of peach, warm peachy brown, purples, and a khaki green. They are absolutely beautiful in their textures (for the most part) 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 very springtime and cheerful. It has a peach gummy kind of scent.

Luscious - is described as a pearl peach champagne; to me it's a soft metallic peachy copper tone.

Cobbler - is described as a peachy pink bronze; to me it's a metallic bronze shade with a peachy pink pearl.

Delectable - is described as a matte smoky amethyst; to me it's matte cool-toned purple.
Peaches 'N Cream -is described as a matte milky peach; to me it's a fair flesh-tone... this is essentially the color of my skin.
Georgia - is described as a matte peachy pink; to me it's a peachy off-white tone, it's similar to my skin-tone but a bit pinker.
Caramelized -is described as a dark gilded bronze; to me it's a beautiful deep bronze. 
Puree - is described as a metallic dark bronze... in what world is this metallic? Looks like someone made a boo boo. To me it's a matte milk chocolate tone.
