Hey guys, back at it again with the Moira products. Now it’s time for a brightly coloured gel eyeliner: number 14, Hot Pink.

Review, Swatches | 3ina The Color Pen Eyeliner in 575
I don’t think I ever purposefully bought anything from 3ina (pronounced mina, fyi, ’cause I know that’s been bothering you if you didn’t know). Everything I have I got in advent calendars or subscription boxes. But there hasn’t been a product yet that I haven’t liked.
Review, Swatches | Moira Eye Catching Dip Liner in 18 Yellow
How fun is a yellow eyeliner? Usually, liquid liners in pastel or bright colours are not that good, but I had such a good experience with the Kylie Cosmetics baby blue liner that I got cocky and went searching for other bright shades. Moira has quite the colour range for liquid liners, and yellow just made sense.
Review, Swatches | Moira Supernova Multichrome Gel Liner in Electra
Multichromes are all the rage. I’m happy to rage along, multichromes have been the most noteworthy innovation in makeup in the last few years for me – and this is the first time I get to try them in eyeliner form. Moira just recently released their Multichrome Gel Liners and I would have gotten more shades if they weren’t sold out – but for now, I have Electra to test.
Review, Swatches | MAC 2021 Hypnotizing Holiday Collection – Now You See Me Extra Dimension Golden Eye Kit
For all that I brag about knowing (and loving) MAC’s Extra Dimension formula, I’ve never tried the eyeshadows. I guess a kit with two of those, a liner and a mascara, and a 20% discount was what it took. Oh, and a pouch. I actually really love the pouch.
Review, Swatches | Avon The Big Gel Paint Pencil in Cobalt and Plumful
You know, sometimes you come across a product that is so good that’s it’s worth talking about, even if the brand is a little bit controversial.
Top 5 | Best Products from KIKO (2021)
As of today, my most viewed post is a review of Kiko’s Sunshine Tuscan Blushes. I guess I understand why, since Kiko is one of those brands that has a huge line and frequently comes out with limited edition collections, yet there aren’t that many reviews out there.
They also have really good sales and are known for some high end dupes. But they tend to discontinue a lot of their core products, and I have tried more than one dud. So here are my recommendations for Kiko permanent collection products if you want to try the brand, (or just want to enlarge your collection and are checking what else to get to reach the free shipping value, like I usually do. Can’t be having those makeup drawers with any extra room, right?).
Top 5 | Best Products from Urban Decay (2021)
Urban Decay was one of my first makeup loves. Our relationship was solid for almost 10 years, but the last few have been rocky. I felt betrayed by the discontinuation of the Naked palette, my favourite thing about Urban Decay, and the new additions to the permanent line were no longer characteristic of the brand I fell in love with.
That said, I feel like there is some urgency in talking about their good products because everything that’s good is being discontinued and the new launches have been terrible. So before they get rid of everything good (like they did with the loose powder, the highlighters, the blushes), here are the top 5 products currently available that are true winners:
Makeup Empties – The Good, The Bad and The Tossed
I’ve mentioned before I don’t believe in declutters – I have a more medieval approach towards my makeup products: I keep them to serve as penitence for wasted money and to discourage myself from wasting more. So the only way anything leaves my makeup collection is either by getting used up or unmistakably turning bad.
So let’s see what products have managed to leave my Alcatraz of a vanity.
Review, Swatches | H&M Glitterati Mascara Liners
When I arose from my 2 month confinement, brushed my hair and put on shoes that were not slippers to go to an H&M on my first post-quarantine visit to a mall, my eyes (and mind) were so accustomed to gloom and darkness that anything that glittered was gold bought.
And these were on sale for 2 euros each. Cheap, just the way I like my glitter to be. Lucky for me these turned out to be oh my god so good.
