Morgan Taylor The Illusions 2019 Platinum Collection

Hello and happy Monday to ya!

Today I’ve got the Morgan Taylor The Illusions 2019 Platinum Collection for you. This is a new limited edition collection within their “Platinum” line and it consists of six metallic duochrome shades. Or actually, it’s five metallic duochrome shades and a gorgeous shimmer.

As far as the formula, (most) everything was smooth sailing. Most of these were just two coats (Can You See My Aura?, the shimmer one, was three coats) and the duochrome is pretty strong in person. I apologize for not showing each one in various lighting which really brings out the duochrome. I am still dealing with tendonitis and cannot take as many photos as I would like.

Can You See My Aura?

Can You See My Aura? is white with strong pink/red shimmer. It’s a beauty but it does require three thin coats and I should have used a ridge-filling base coat as it looks a bit uneven on me.

Oh So Shifty

Oh So Shifty is a green/gold duochrome.

Urban Decay Naked Honey Eyeshadow Palette

Hello there and happy Friday!

Today I’ve got the brand new Urban Decay Naked Honey Eyeshadow Palette for your enjoyment. Naked Honey is the latest in a long line of Naked palettes. It features twelve new shades in a gorgeous golden/bronze colored package. It also comes with a dual-ended eyeshadow brush.

So truth be told, when I first started seeing this on Instagram I was not impressed at all. The only color I thought looked interesting was the super gold metallic one (Honey) and everything else just looked like the same ‘ole stuff. But once I saw it in person I realized I was totally wrong. I mean yes, there are some shades which may not be completely unique, but many of them have a gorgeous mustard-leaning look to them, and I am ALL about mustard since last fall. I have mustard clothing and nail polish and am dying for these mustard Vans now. I cannot get enough mustard!

ORLY Dreamscape Fall 2019 Collection

Hey look, I blogged! Sorry it’s been awhile folks. I am dealing with some awful tendinitis in my right arm, which is preventing me from doing a lot of my normal activities, including picking up a camera that weighs a ton. But I was going crazy waiting to swatch fall stuff, so here I am. But I AM trying not to do too much because tendonitis can take months to fully heal, Boo!

Today I have the ORLY Dreamscape Fall 2019 Collection for you. This collection features six new shades in cremes, metallics and shimmers. It’s a soft, muted color palette and I am really digging it.

The ones with a metallic finish did show some brush strokes, so it’s key to use thin, even coats. Otherwise there were no problems and they were 2-3 coats.

Free Fall

Free Fall is a very pale almost-lilac silver with silver shimmer. This is three thin coats and a little brush stroke-y.

Ethereal Plane

Ethereal Plane is light pink with purple shimmer. This is three thin coats.

OPI Scotland Fall 2019 Collection

Happy Tuesday and welcome to the OPI Scotland Fall 2019 Collection!

OPI Scotland features twelve new autumnal shades inspired by the beauty of Scotland – a place I have always wanted to visit. From kilts, to bagpipes, to the Lochness monster, there’s a little something for everyone here.

Most of these are cremes, which is pretty typical of an OPI fall collection, but there are three nice shimmers. Almost all of these were completely opaque with just two coats over a base coat.

This formula is actually new for MAC and it’s called the “True-Colour Gelled System”. It contains lychee fruit extract and argan oil with ultra-refined pigments, which gives you a bright, creamy and smooth finish and feel.

There are three color families in the collection which are: Nudes/Corals, Reds and Plums/Violets. I love how the tube matches the correlating color family!
