Review, Swatches | About-Face Light Lock Powder in Stay in Bed, Fractal Glitter Eye Paint in Smolder

Here’s to another celebrity makeup brand, about-face, presented to you by singer Halsey, someone I’ve never listened to and couldn’t tell you anything about. Which is for the better, probably, because I’m all about, and only about, the makeup. Some items from the about-face line really intrigued me, and I decided to start out with their highlighters and the most appealing of their products (to me, a well known magpie): the Fractal Glitter Eye Paint.

Review, Swatches | Roén Beauty Disco Eye & 75º Warm Eyeshadow Palette

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.
