Oriza L. Legrand Horizon Perfume Review

Oriza L. Legrand Horizon Eau de Parfum is one of the more patchouli-driven fragrances I’ve come across; and it’s dark, earthy patchouli blended with chocolate that goes from boozy and rich to darker and more bitter. Tobacco and leather accent the composition at times, but largely, Horizon was patchouli and chocolate on me from shortly after opening to the very end gaining subtle additional honeyed sweetness at the drydown. top notes: bitter orange, candied mandarin, dried roses heart notes: aged cognac, tobacco leaves, torrefied almonds and cocoa beans, oakwood, patchouli base notes: benzoin, ambergris, peat, blond tobacco, vanilla, honey, soft leather It was boozy and rich and chocolaty in its opening minute before becoming darker and darker chocolate grounded into wet soil as the patchouli came in with a bang. The dark chocolate married with orange a few minutes later with a smooth, nuttiness that followed. The dark, earthy patchouli slowly moved to the foreground with as...

ColourPop Team Hype Eyeliner Duo Review & Swatches

Team Hype ColourPop Team Hype Crème Gel Liner Duo ($14.00 for 0.02 oz.) includes two gray eyeliners, and unfortunately, both were dismal. ColourPop’s formula is just quite stiff and dry, often prone to unevenness or giving difficulty to get product to apply with pigmentation.

Sephora Beautylish Ulta Nordstrom More Brooklynette Brooklynette is a light-medium, purplish-gray with cooler undertones and flecks of silver sparkle throughout. It had semi-sheer, somewhat buildable pigmentation, but the texture was slightly thick and stiff, which resulted in product accumulating in thicker, almost raised, patches when built up. It lasted well for seven hours before fading visibly. Top Dupes Ingredients Top Dupes View Swatches View All Dupes ColourPop Alley Oop (LE, $5.00) is...

How important is it to you to finish your makeup products?

For color cosmetics, not at all. For hair care and skincare, yes, I like to finish products so long as I like them – it doesn’t have to be LOVE, but if I don’t like the product or it’s not working, then I won’t force myself to finish. — Christine Join Discussion source https://www.temptalia.com/how-important-is-it-to-you-to-finish-your-makeup-products/

Sephora Energy, Ready, Connect Charged Up Liquid Eyeshadows Reviews & Swatches

Energy Sephora Energy Charged Up Liquid Eyeshadow ($10.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a medium-dark pink-coral base chocked full of lighter gold sparkle throughout and a metallic finish. It had mostly opaque pigmentation that could be layered up or diffused, depending on preferences. The texture was lightweight, thin, and creamy without being too emollient, so it blended out well but could be worn at higher opacity if desired. This shade lasted well for nine and a half hours before showing signs of creasing on me. FURTHER READING : Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).
