“Brighten up, buttercup!”
Sometimes when I think of Tabs taking that long walk across the rainbow bridge one day in the hopefully distant, distant future and my lower lip starts trembling, that’s what I say to myself.
“Brighten up, buttercup!”
It’s also what I said the first time I wore Pacifica’s Enlighten Eye Brightening Shadow Palette.
It sucked me in ever before I tried it, with a $12 price tag and promises to brighten my eyes (oh, hellz yeah!).
The fun and summery coral, gold, beige and purple shades come in a mix of satin and iridescent finishes. All of them seem pretty neutral to me, with the exception of the golden child, which warms my NC 42 skin.
What else?
- The coverage varies from sheer-to-medium when applied dry, to fully opaque when applied wet
- The mineral-based formula is infused with coconut water for a cream-like finish
- Made without sulfates, petroleum products, parabens, SLS or phthalates
- Vegan and cruelty-free
So, MEGA points for wear time. I’ve worn these shadows both wet and dry, on top of bare, and also atop primed lids, and they just barely crease and fade over the course of an eight-hour day.
That’s good.

Bay Area beauty lovers, do you have plans this Saturday? 
Could nixies, fairies and sprites be responsible for Pixi True Teal’s enchantingly smooth formula, which flitters across skin like butterfly wings? 
Or have I simply endured one too many conversations with El Hub about Dungeons & Dragons?
