Brand :  Ulta Beauty Product : Rainbow Dust Eye Shadow Palette Shades : Row 1: Spring Mist, Soft Sage, Fire Brick Row 2: Polished Copper, Sugared Peach, Gold Chiffon Row 3: Orchid Kiss, Frosted Lavendar, Rose Water CRUELTY FREE Binxcat's Musing:  Have you ever purchased something on a whim; not really expecting it to be good?  That's exactly what happened when I purchased this palette.  I was very surprised when it swatched and performed as it did.  Ulta's rainbow Dust palette is a beautifully collection of shimmery shades ranging from cools to warms.  The pigment isn't overbearing but it is present enough to create beautiful eye looks bu using the shades on their own or as toppers.  I got very little kick up in pan while brush swatching (no primer).  For the price, this palette was a pleasant surprise. Brand Description:  Create a beautiful, shimmering pastel eye look with Ulta's hi...

Brand : Urban Decay Cosmetics Product :   Double Team Special Effects Colored Mascara  Shade :  Deep End -  bright peacock cream + metallic bright peacock CRUELTY FREE Binxcat's Musing:  Yes, I'm fan-girling about the UD colored mascaras.  After having started off with only 3 shades, I went back and bought the rest.  I love using a colored mascara on the bottom lashes to brighten the eye and add interest to an eye look.  Deep End shows on my black lashes with no white primer first.  The cream is swatched on the left and the special effect on the right.  I wore this shade over the weekend and it lasted all day without flaking or fading.  The brush is small enough to get the tiny bottom lashes without smudging. Brand Description:  A totally different take on colored mascara, Urban Decay's Double Team Special Effect Colored Mascara provides a HUGE pop of color on lashes and brows. The cream shades de...

Brand : ColourPop Cosmetics Product : Lux Lipstick Shade : Cheetah - vibrant cool toned lavender CRUELTY FREE VEGAN Binxcat's Musing:  I have a personal preference for purple tones.  Cheetah fits the bill.  This creamy cool toned lavender applies easily.  It has a nice satin opaque finish.  It did not bleed but at roughly 5 hours it did want to pull into lip lines.  The issue was easily remedied by reapplying.  A primer or lip liner first may help avoid the issue altogether. Brand Description:  This full coverage lipstick is packed full of the finest pigments to give you long wearing, true color in shades made for every skin tone. This formula glides on like butter and has a creamy matte finish. Our exclusive LUX blend of Acai, Jojoba and Pomegranate Seed butters hydrate and keep your lips looking fresh AF.

Brand :  LASplash Cosmetics Product : Hydro Liquid Shadow Shade : Chic - pearl white Save 25% on your LASplash order with my Affiliate Code.  Code is BINX Code may be excluded on same sale items. CRUELTY FREE Binxcat's Musing:  This product goes on with a cool sensation.  It is highly reflective.  The pigment is nice and the pearl is impactful.  Chic is a little more sheer on first application but like the other shades is buildable is you let it dry first and then add another coat.  I've also used this shade as a lip topper and it's stunning.  Swatched with no primer.

Brand :  Belladonna's Cupboard Product :  Pressed Pigment Shade :  Blue Monday CRUELTY FREE VEGAN Binxcat's Musing:  Blue Monday is a beautiful pressed pigment.  Swatched with no primer, only a little bit was necessary on the brush for full coverage.  This shade was easy to blend and work with.  The pan was not dry or dusty. No additional information available.

Brand :  Anastasia Beverly Hills Product :  Mini Matte Lipstick Set (Pinks) Shades: Orchid - magenta Cotton Candy - bubblegum pink Stargazer - hibiscus pink Plumeria - plum wine CRUELTY FREE Binxcat's Musing:  I've had mixed results with ABH matte lipsticks.  This set, however, is very good, each of the lipsticks has good pigment and is opaque in a single swipe.  The finish is more of a satin matte than a true matte - and that suits me just fine.   Brand Description:  Mini Matte Lipstick Set - Pinks by Anastasia Beverly Hills is a four-piece limited edition set featuring full pigment lip color with a smooth, ultra-matte finish in four pink shades. Ingredients:  Cotton Candy, Orchid: Aprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Isononyl Isononanoate, Octyldodecanol, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate, Nylon-12, Polyethylene, Pentaerythrityl Tetrabehenate, Synthetic Wax, Kaol...

Brand : ColourPop Cosmetics Product :  Ultra Satin Lip Shade :  Hi Suppose - cool vibrant pink  CRUELTY FREE VEGAN Binxcat's Musing:  Unlike other Ultra Satin Lip products I've tested from ColourPop, Hi Suppose pulls more matte than satin.  It is also thicker and more mousse-like.  The shade is beautiful but the formula on this product wanted to gather-up.  It did settle into lip lines after 2 hours of wear but was not uncomfortable. Brand Description:  Ultra Satin Lip A creamy, bold lipstick with a satin finish. This formula has the same high percentage of pigments as an Ultra Matte Lip but contains emollient ingredients for added moisture, keeping lips looking fresh and feeling super comfortable. Though this lipstick is super long-wearing, it is not completely kiss-proof and does transfer. Ingredients:  Isododecane, Diisostearyl Malate, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, C10-18 Triglycerides, Oryza Sat...
