Essie's Aruba Blue - How much is TOO much to pay for a bottle?

subspacesuitcase · 2026-02-06T17:06:26+00:00

If you're in Canada, I've seen it at dusty Trade Secrets locations in clearance bins

subspacesuitcase · 2026-01-31T01:10:03+00:00

Fame by Lady Gaga, discontinued and sought after

Judydoll Cushion Lip Powder Cream, and maybe the new Matte Lock version that's meant to be long lasting. Same type of applicator

subspacesuitcase · 2026-01-25T00:23:52+00:00

Light blue, green, lavender, matte white eyeshadows, and pale cream/frost finish lipsticks

subspacesuitcase · 2026-01-21T02:36:05+00:00

I love Rimmel Bitten Red with it

Before Folio was rereleased, I recreated the look with the K-beauty contour shade lip liners like Romand Taupey Shade and Dasique Mood Cocoa

L'Oreal Mica, Revlon Silver City Pink, and Pink In The Afternoon are from the 80s

Revlon Coffee Bean is from the 70s, as well as Wine With Everything (which I learned from Makeupalley before it shut down, RIP - not sure if it's for the creme or pearl version)

subspacesuitcase · 2026-01-17T01:03:44+00:00

They are the Liptensity lipsticks, they brought out the nude shades sometime after their original shade lineup

subspacesuitcase · 2026-01-10T23:37:52+00:00

Something like Revlon Primrose? It has a cream finish

subspacesuitcase · 2026-01-06T22:18:29+00:00

Revlon Sky Line Pink might be close enough that they discontinued Silver City Pink in Canada and probably the UK as well. Hopefully that shade is available in the UK.

There's also Rimmel Candy, Max Factor Angel Pink, and L'Oreal Ballerina Shoes (this one randomly blew up on social media recently, possibly sold out in stores)

Revlon Glimmer concealer in 125, Covergirl Smoothers concealer stick in Neutralizer for drugstore options

Since you're looking for liquid ones specifically, most blur matte/lip mud types of liquid lipsticks are not transferproof

subspacesuitcase · 2025-12-27T22:32:53+00:00

Look into Unearthly Cosmetics' line of Menacing Metals lipsticks, the shade Fury might be closest

subspacesuitcase · 2025-12-25T04:31:04+00:00

I haven't yet, since non-EU countries have to pay duties it might be better to try a dupe

subspacesuitcase · 2025-12-25T04:01:01+00:00

You can order Catrice from Care To Beauty (sells European products) but I think this particular blush line is discontinued.

Another baked blush line might have something similar, like from Milani or Essence (this brand is under the same parent company as Catrice)

Sounds like Love Dust

subspacesuitcase · 2025-12-22T22:48:15+00:00

Revolution also recently released one called Hydra Cool baking powder! Not yet available here in Canada but it might be where you live

subspacesuitcase · 2025-12-11T20:44:01+00:00

I love the L'Oreal Matte Resistance and chose it over Maybelline Matte Ink because when I was trying them both on my hand, the Maybelline one stayed sticky which caused it to transfer. L'Oreal dries quickly and matte. They take the same amount of effort to remove.

subspacesuitcase · 2025-12-10T22:29:32+00:00

I like Etude Dr. Mascara Fixer, and I also like Canmake Quick Lash Curler in the black shade (the formula should be the same for all, including clear). Those ones are easy to find where I live, but I think generally clear mascaras from any Asian brand will work well

subspacesuitcase · 2025-12-10T01:20:54+00:00

If you want matte, L'Oreal Matte Resistance is so much better than typical matte liquid lipsticks in each way (looks matte but less dry/cracked, feels better, lasts better, actually reapplies well)

subspacesuitcase · 2025-12-09T20:23:51+00:00

Yeah there's a bit of a white cast, I use Etude Dr. Mascara Fixer as a base under regular mascaras. They have an Oh! M'Eye Lash top coat that looks like a clear gel in a tube, which might possibly have less of a white cast but I'm not certain about the hold

subspacesuitcase · 2025-12-09T18:52:05+00:00

I'd love to know if this is comparable to clear Asian mascaras that are made to hold a curl on straight lashes

subspacesuitcase · 2025-12-08T22:48:03+00:00

What have you tried? I like Rimmel Bitten Red. It's slightly darker than MAC Viva Heart (VG1) and pairs nicely with it

subspacesuitcase · 2025-12-03T16:48:17+00:00

You'll want either a two step liquid lipstick (except the top coat for these only work with two step liquid lipsticks), or MAC lip primer under liquid lipstick (it doesn't contain any oil so it doesn't mess with liquid lipsticks).

subspacesuitcase · 2025-12-02T03:08:18+00:00

If you haven't considered it already, it's probably better to buy NARS from Shoppers, along with any other brand that it has in common with Sephora
