Mocha SpritzKaja Mocha Spritz Beauty Bento Bouncy Shimmer Eyeshadow Trio ($21.00 for 0.09 oz.) is a new, deeper neutral eyeshadow trio featuring two matte shades and one shimmery shade. All three shades performed well; they were pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing without being prone to fallout. I felt like the three shades worked well together, too.

Dazzling BronzeDazzling Bronze is a light-medium taupe-brown with subtle, warm undertones and a frosted sheen. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer with a soft, lightly powdery texture that was finely-milled and blendable on my skin. It wore nicely for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview- The formula is supposed to have "uniform shimmer in every swipe" that is best applied "with your fingers." They have a dimethicone-heavy feel (unsurprising given it was typically the first ingredient in each shade), so there's a velvety slip that is lightly emollient but not truly wet or cream-like to the touch. I found them to be more powder-like than cream-like, but they had the binding and hold of a creamier formula. They applied well to bare skin without the need of primer, adhesive sprays, or glitter glue for pretty stellar wear--they often lasted between eight and 10 hours on me with slight fallout. I more often saw faint creasing after eight hours than much in the way of fallout. Fingertips will definitely yield the most pigmented the quickest, but I didn't struggle to use brushes (my preferred method for precision) and found that brushes often packed semi-opaque or opaque coverage as well. I also tried them wet and didn't find that to cause issues to the pan, and it did give some shades a smoother, shinier finish but wasn't necessary to use them (more like a bonus). I didn't have issues with fallout whether I used my fingertips or brushes to apply; I pressed and gently pulled the brush across my lid area to distribute the product (same technique I use for high-shimmer/metallic shades). They were impressive; they were magical--if you love sparkly, shiny eyeshadows, they're well worth a look! Browse all of our Kaja Bouncy Shimmer Eyeshadow swatches.

Quick Shop: Sephora, Sephora (CA)Rich EspressoRich Espresso is a muted, medium brown with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture felt smooth, velvety, and substantial with a smidgen of powderiness present in the pan but not during application (so not fallout nor did it sheer out too readily). It had full color coverage that adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out well. This shade lasted well for eight and a half hours before showing signs of fading. Top Dupes

Sable (27)Clinique Sable (27) Even Better Pop Lip Colour Foundation ($19.50 for 0.13 oz.) is a medium-dark, plummy brown with subtle, warm red undertones and a natural sheen. It had good color payoff in a single layer, though it wasn’t quite opaque, and it did not build up as readily due to the more emollient quality of the texture. The lipstick felt lightweight, lightly creamy with moderate slip, which made it comfortable to apply, but it didn’t adhere quite as readily to the inner area of my lip (more noticeable if I tried to build up the coverage). This shade stayed on nicely for five hours and felt moisturizing over time. FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent). Top Dupes
Formula Overview$19.50/0.13 oz. - $150.00 Per Ounce The formula features three finishes: "Naked," "Casual," and "Glam." Where these finishes get confusing is that the classification moves as skin tone changes, despite the brand describing "Naked" shades as "softest neutral for a barely-there look" and "Casual" as "a wash of neutral color," which kind of sound more or less the same-- wash, barely-there, etc. "Glam" is described as a "bold pop of color," yet there are shades classified as "Glam" for lighter skin tones that are "Casual" for deeper skin tones. The formula is supposed to be hydrating with color that lasts up to "eight hours," which are the most concrete claims about the product! The original Pop lipstick formula is described as "rich color plus a smoothing primer." Since the Even Better range is all about matching to one's skin tone--which is why one shade is closer to "Naked" for one skin tone and closer to "Glam" for another--I'm using the original Pop formula as the baseline for the claims here. This means I'm looking for "rich color" along with a hydrating formula that lasts "up to eight hours." The majority of the range had semi-opaque to opaque coverage with a few shades having more medium, buildable coverage. I noticed that there were some shades that were more of a velvety-matte--felt more primer-like, more silicone-heavy--with good glide but less sheen (more in line with the Pop Matte formula), and others were more true to the original Pop formula with a creamier consistency that had some shine. As you might have already guessed, the formula does not last eight hours and lasted between four and five hours for most shades with a few deviating from that range. There's nothing in the formula that suggests it would be particularly long-wearing, so they were quite comfortable to apply and to wear, wore down evenly, and were hydrating to wear. They had no discernible scent or taste. Browse all of our Clinique Even Better Pop Lip Colour Foundation swatches.

Mink (28)Clinique Mink (28) Even Better Pop Lip Colour Foundation ($19.50 for 0.13 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark coppery-brown with fine, golden pearl woven throughout. It had semi-opaque color coverage in a single layer, which adhered evenly and smoothly to my lips without dragging or tugging on them. The color did not apply as well to the inner area of my lips, though, which can happen with these more velvety formulas in my experience. The consistency felt lightweight didn’t have a lot of wetness to it, despite the ease of which it glided across my lips. It wore well for five hours and felt hydrating while worn.

Check out dupes for the most loved and most wanted products between June 23rd and June 29th before you buy! via Temptalia https://ift.tt/31u56Me Crown GlassClionadh Crown Glass Jewelled Multichrome Eyeshadow ($19.00 for 0.05 oz.) has a blackened base with a multichrome finish that shifted between navy blue, purplish-blue, brighter purple, and red. Per the brand, the shade shifts between “teal-indigo-pink-red-gold.” It had a very high-shine, reflective metallic finish. I was just barely able to detect a bit of gold–more like pink-peach–at the very, very edge of arm swatches at certain angles but less so in person. The shift on the eyes, in person, was still quite distinctive and was visually shifting from navy blue-violet-warmer purple (lower light) to more like a greenish-teal to blue to red (brighter light). It was richly pigmented with a smooth, more cream-powder feel that was dense without being too thick or too heavy, so it picked up well with a brush and deposited even coverage to bare skin. I also didn’t have issues working with it using other eyeshadows (like thinner mattes). The eyeshadow lasted well for eight and a half hours before creasing faintly on me.

Formula Overview$19.00/0.05 oz. - $380.00 Per Ounce The formula was described as "finely milled, ultra rich pigments" that have a "black base and intense colour shifting reflects" with the "end result [being] a saturated, vibrantly shifting shadow." For those new to Multichromes, the brand has a nice application guide that walks customers through application. The big takeaway is with black-based Multichromes, less is more when it comes to blending as the more one blends, the more the base comes through and the shifting shimmer disappears. They can be used wet or dry, with a dry or wet brush, or with fingertips in "patting motions instead of swiping." Clionadh's formula worked well with an assortment of brushes--flat shader brushes, fluffier shader brushes, narrow and larger pencil brushes, and even fluffier crease brushes. I liked using a small, lightly rounded crease brush to apply and diffuse product in my crease to buff out the edge for a blacker base to come through, which I found helped to blend the Multichrome shade with any transition/crease shade I might have used. A flatter, but not firm, shader brush worked well to deposit color all over the lid, especially on smaller areas, but fingertip application yielded the most intense, shiniest finish along with deeper color. Multichromes are, in a way, the equivalent of applying three or four or five shades on an area at a given time, so for someone who likes the effect of more than one shade on the lid but may not feel as confident about blending... a multichrome gives some of that end result with less effort. It also does it in a reverse way, too, as they often shift slightly different from left to right, right to left, top to bottom, and bottom to top. The consistency was smooth to the touch, dense and slightly thicker with a creamy, lightly emollient feel. A few shades felt more cream-like than powder-like, but most felt like a richer, creamier metallic by touch. The brand recommended applying the eyeshadows first as "there may be some fallout," though it seemed minor in my experience--the creamier consistency made the eyeshadow adhere readily to bare skin (or over primer). I found them easier to use than expected, as I didn't feel like they had to be used with a wet brush or a fingertip to get opaque, even coverage, and they were blendable along the edges. The black base does make it harder to wear along the lower lash line without getting a noticeable shadow where the edge gets diffused, and the same was true around the inner tearduct (the brand's Iridescent Multichromes are better for these areas as they have a transparent base). They had a tendency to crease faintly on me after eight to nine hours of wear without primer and more reliably between 10 and 12 hours over an eyeshadow primer. The shift became a bit more faded after seven to eight hours compared to the initial application over bare skin and around 10 hours over primer. The brand recommended applying this formula over a "dried-down primer," which is actually unusual to see for an eyeshadow formula, so since most of the formulas I test don't require primer for testing, I tested all shades both ways so that they can be more readily compared to other formulas on the market.

LunetteClionadh Lunette Jewelled Multichrome Eyeshadow ($19.00 for 0.05 oz.) has a blackened base with a multichrome finish that shifted between brighter, navy blue (just slightly cool-toned) to cobalt blue to bluish-purple to slightly pinker (warmer) purple. Per the brand, the shade shifts between “blue-indigo-violet-pink.” I felt like I did see all of those shifts both swatched and on the eye, though I think the width of the gradient is narrower so the effect isn’t as dramatic–because there was less contrast–compared to some of the other Multichrome shades. In some ways, that made this shade particularly easy to use as it looked bluer or purpler, depending on the light and angle, so both variations worked well with an assortment of crease colors (which hasn’t always been the case!). The texture was smooth, creamy, and dense without being too thick or too firmly-pressed into the pan. The eyeshadow had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which adhered well to bare skin with pressing and patting it into place. It stayed on well for nine hours before creasing slightly on me.

The highlighter had a fairly strong, luminous glow that stopped short of emphasizing my skin’s natural texture. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which was easy to blend out for a sheerer effect (or to use with a lighter hand). The powder had a smooth consistency that was more firmly-pressed without being stiff to work with, so the powder picked up well on my brush but had an even distribution of color when applied. It lasted well for almost nine hours before showing signs of fading. FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent). Top Dupes
Formula Overview$16.50/0.28 oz. - $58.93 Per Ounce The highlighter formula runs nearly opaque to opaque with moderate to intense luminosity. A couple of the more metallic shades can emphasize skin texture when worn at higher coverage levels, but for the most part, the glow was intense, shiny, and reflective without emphasizing my natural texture. The consistency felt smooth, lightweight, and thin without being powdery or too firmly-pressed into the pan, so it wasn't messy to use while picking up readily with a typical highlighter brush. There was a creaminess and some slip to it that made it feel almost like a cream-powder but was definitely a powder product. The highlighter applied evenly to bare skin, blended out with ease, and lasted between eight and nine hours before fading on me. Browse all of our JD Glow Pressed Powder Illuminator swatches.

I’ll be highlighting sale items coming July 24th! via Temptalia https://ift.tt/3dHRvne JD Glow Peachy Keen Prismatic Watermark Bora Bora Peacock Galaxy Shadows Reviews & Swatches6/29/2020 Peachy KeenJD Glow Peachy Keen Galaxy Shadow ($7.50 for 0.095 oz.) is a light-medium, pinky-peach base–more pink than peach–paired with light gold-to-green shifting shimmer. It had a very strong shift to an almost lime-like green, and the finish itself was a very smooth, reflective metallic. The texture felt soft, smooth, and not too densely pressed into the pan, which made it easy to work with and to blend out on my lid. It had good color coverage that stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading a bit. FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent). Top Dupes
Formula Overview$7.50/0.095 oz. - $78.95 Per Ounce The formula is supposed to be "highly pigmented" with a "built in primer." The texture was creamier, smooth, and more emollient without being too thick or too firmly pressed into the pan, so while it was denser and not at all powdery, I had no trouble picking up product with a dry brush. Using a wet brush or fingertip to apply helped to minimize slight to light fallout that was more typical with dry brush application. The pigmentation was semi-opaque to opaque with good adhesion to bare skin, and the powders blended out well along the edges. Some of the more sparkly shades had light fallout when blended or the sparkles dispersed a bit more readily, so precision placement was harder. They wore between eight and nine hours on me before fading or lightly creasing. The one thing to note, though, is that they had a heavy, sweet, fruity scent that I could detect periodically through the day.

The texture felt more emollient, almost wet to the touch, with light creaminess without being too thick when applied to bare skin. It had good color coverage, but the base seemed to be a smidgen translucent when applied and blended out. There were visible signs of fading after eight and a half hours of wear with slight fallout over time.

WatermarkJD Glow Watermark Galaxy Shadow ($7.50 for 0.0952 oz.) is a deep, navy blue base with cool undertones paired with flecks of gold and blue sparkle over a metallic sheen. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that was a bit denser and thicker compared to most shades in the range. The product had fairly good adhesion to bare skin but had some fallout during application. I’d recommend patting/pressing into place or else using it with a fingertip or a dampened brush to minimize fallout. This shade wore well for eight and a half hours and had light fallout over time.

Quick Shop: JD GlowBora BoraJD Glow Bora Bora Galaxy Shadow ($7.50 for 0.0952 oz.) is a bright, light blue with cooler undertones and warmer, green-to-gold shifting shimmer that gave it an intense, metallic finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer paired with a smooth, slightly denser consistency (but not firm). The eyeshadow picked up well with a dry brush but had light fallout, so I’d recommend pressing and patting into place or using a dampened brush. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably. FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent). Top Dupes

It had a cooler, almost violet base that came through on the edges of where the product was applied, so while a duochrome often shifts to a brighter/lighter color than the base, this was deeper. The pigmentation was opaque in a single layer, which adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out without difficulty. The texture was smooth to the touch, lightly creamy, and easy to work with. This shade lasted well for eight and a half hours before showing signs of fading. FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent). Top Dupes

Per the brand, it is supposed to shift between “rose-orange-gold-lime-teal.” The teal was the hardest to see in person as it was just at the most extreme edge, so it was something better viewed in low light or by someone looking at you, but the other shades the product shifted between were readily apparent in various lighting conditions (without becoming a professional contortionist!). It had rich pigmentation that adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out with ease along the edge for a soft, diffused edge. The texture felt creamy, dense without being too thick or too firmly pressed into the pan, and picked up well with a dry brush. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview$19.00/0.05 oz. - $380.00 Per Ounce The formula was described as "finely milled, ultra rich pigments" that have a "black base and intense colour shifting reflects" with the "end result [being] a saturated, vibrantly shifting shadow." For those new to Multichromes, the brand has a nice application guide that walks customers through application. The big takeaway is with black-based Multichromes, less is more when it comes to blending as the more one blends, the more the base comes through and the shifting shimmer disappears. They can be used wet or dry, with a dry or wet brush, or with fingertips in "patting motions instead of swiping." Clionadh's formula worked well with an assortment of brushes--flat shader brushes, fluffier shader brushes, narrow and larger pencil brushes, and even fluffier crease brushes. I liked using a small, lightly rounded crease brush to apply and diffuse product in my crease to buff out the edge for a blacker base to come through, which I found helped to blend the Multichrome shade with any transition/crease shade I might have used. A flatter, but not firm, shader brush worked well to deposit color all over the lid, especially on smaller areas, but fingertip application yielded the most intense, shiniest finish along with deeper color. Multichromes are, in a way, the equivalent of applying three or four or five shades on an area at a given time, so for someone who likes the effect of more than one shade on the lid but may not feel as confident about blending... a multichrome gives some of that end result with less effort. It also does it in a reverse way, too, as they often shift slightly different from left to right, right to left, top to bottom, and bottom to top. The consistency was smooth to the touch, dense and slightly thicker with a creamy, lightly emollient feel. A few shades felt more cream-like than powder-like, but most felt like a richer, creamier metallic by touch. The brand recommended applying the eyeshadows first as "there may be some fallout," though it seemed minor in my experience--the creamier consistency made the eyeshadow adhere readily to bare skin (or over primer). I found them easier to use than expected, as I didn't feel like they had to be used with a wet brush or a fingertip to get opaque, even coverage, and they were blendable along the edges. The black base does make it harder to wear along the lower lash line without getting a noticeable shadow where the edge gets diffused, and the same was true around the inner tearduct (the brand's Iridescent Multichromes are better for these areas as they have a transparent base). They had a tendency to crease faintly on me after eight to nine hours of wear without primer and more reliably between 10 and 12 hours over an eyeshadow primer. The shift became a bit more faded after seven to eight hours compared to the initial application over bare skin and around 10 hours over primer. The brand recommended applying this formula over a "dried-down primer," which is actually unusual to see for an eyeshadow formula, so since most of the formulas I test don't require primer for testing, I tested all shades both ways so that they can be more readily compared to other formulas on the market.

WeatheredClionadh Weathered Jewelled Multichrome Eyeshadow ($19.00 for 0.05 oz.) has a blackened base with a metallic, multichrome finish that shifted between warmer, chartreuse green to more olive green to darker olive green (that was slightly cooler-toned). Per the brand, it is supposed to shift between “yellow gold-moss green-mint-silver.” I’d agree that it shifted between three shades, and because it shifted along a shorter spectrum (lighter, warmer green to darker, more mid-tone green), the shift was subtle compared to some of the other shades in the range. The eyeshadow delivered opaque coverage in a single layer, which was achieved with a dry brush as well as with a fingertip, though the latter definitely packed a smoother result more readily. The texture was lightly creamy, emollient but not overly slippery, and easy to work with on bare skin but had a smidgen of fallout. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before creasing slightly. FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent). Top Dupes
