Product: Bare Minerals 4.0 Eyeshadow in The Truth
Price: $30 from Bare Minerals
Product Description from the Website:
bareMinerals READY Eyeshadow provides exceptionally vivid, long-wearing color in an ultra smooth, silky texture for effortless application and seamless blendability with four shades that create multiple looks. Powered by our proprietary SeaNutritive MineralTM Complex along with powerful antioxidants, cold-pressed borage oil, caffeine and cucumber-ingredients known to deliver anti-aging benefits including reduced look of puffiness and antioxidant protection for a softer, smoother, revitalized eye area. It looks like a powder but feels like a cream and delivers a beautifully smooth application of vivid, long-wearing color.
The Truth featuring Serendipitous + Magnetism + Fate + Apropos (delicate peach/brushed taupe/light mocha glaze/twinkling espresso)
My Thoughts: This quad is on par with the other Ready Palettes that I have but it doesn’t get much love from me since it is very neutral. The Truth is smooth and very pigmented. If you are looking for a small neutral palette this is a good choice. Swatches are over bare skin.

Product: NYX Color Lip Balm Shukran, Arigato, & Merci
Price: $3 from NYX
Product Description from the Website:
Add color and moisturize to your lips in one application. When your lips crave hydration and you crave color, NYX Cosmetics new Color Lip Balm is the perfect option! Get the moisture, shine, and a sheer wash of color your lips desire while still looking natural. Available in 12 shades.
My Thoughts: I do think that these balms are moisturizing enough but I don’t find that they are pigmented enough. You’ll see what I mean in the swatches because these colors practically look the same. For a couple more dollars I would go for a Revlon Lip Butter.

My Thoughts: This is one of my favorite Bare Minerals duos. These 2 colors blend together so flawlessly and create great eye looks. If you were just going to pick one duo it would have to be this one. Swatches are over bare skin.

Product: Fyrinnae Glitterboi Arcane Magic Eyeshadow
Price: $2 for mini & $6.35 for full size
Product Description from the Website:
Glitterboi is a deep blend of midnight blue, violet, and a hint of pink sparkle, and as the angle changes or light-distance decreases, changes to a light, gleaming grape, then to vibrant metallic pink.
My Thoughts: You all know I love Fyrinnae and I especially love their mini sizes because you can try so many of their products at a reasonable price. Not to mention that the mini sizes are far from mini in my opinion. You can definitely see the blue, violet, and pink in Glitterboi, it’s beautiful! My swatch is over Darling Girl Glitter Glue.
