Nearly opaque pigmentation in one layer Smooth, fluid, and easily spreadable Applied evenly; very tacky as it set (took about 1.5 minutes) - do not touch lips while setting!

Merit Solo Shadows!

YSL has some new lipsticks that had me raise my eyebrows a bit, but that's the closest!

Chanel Loose Eyeshadows, Moira Liquid Eyeshadows, and Merit Solo Shadows.

Lisa Eldridge Velvet Bloom True Velvet Lipstick Colour ($36.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a brighter, darker pink with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. Opaque pigmentation in one layer Slightly dense in tube, velvety glide Applied evenly and smoothly on my lips Long-wearing (5 hours), lightly hydrating

Clinonadh Jerome Grand Hotel! It just looks so pretty.

Haus Labs' new concealer! I really enjoy the foundation, so I think I will end up buying the concealer to try at some point.

Tatcha Indigo Cleansing Balm! I'm a big fan of the Indigo range.

Your skin tone/coloring: Favorite gold eyeshadow? Favorite black eyeshadow? Favorite gray eyeshadow?

More of the Dior lacquers, which I like the formula of, but the price point and leakage... well.

Fenty Beauty Shadowstix Eyeshadow Pencil ($25.00 for 0.056 oz.) is a new range of matte and metallic twist-up eyeshadow pencils. Each finish has eight shades, and they seem to be deliberately designed to be more "neutral" in tone so there aren't any pops of color. I'm curious if those will be added as limited edition launches in the future. Here are swatches of all 16!
