Cavegirl Costume Hair and Makeup

Happy Monday!

We threw a Halloween party at our house again this year. We decided to go as a Caveman and Cavewoman. We've been dressing up for Halloween with our friends for years and it's getting harder and harder to come up with costumes that no one has done yet. Surprisingly no one ever went as a caveman before.

We kind of lucked out, my uncle had gone as a caveman before so my husband borrowed his awesome costume and I found this one premade and fitting like a glove at Goodwill for $5.99. SCORE!!!!!!!!!!

I ended up still buying one yard of fuzzy leopard from JoAnne's to make my belt and some bracelets for me. I think I got it on sale for $9. I also picked up a bag of bones from the Halloween store with holes predrilled in them and got some faux leather straps from JoAnne's. I made our own necklaces, anklets and my hair bone with those.

The hardest part of this costume for me was the hair. I kept googling for cavegirl hair tutorials and there's literally NONE. So I thought I'd share what I did in case it would be helpful to anyone. Ducklip kiss included :)

Basically I washed my hair but skipped conditioner. I didn't brush it out and let it air dry as much as possible. Then I applied some Pureology styling lotion and blow dried it, still without brushing.

I then took small sections and used my flat iron to get random bends in my hair. No pattern, just kind of bent it forward then bent it backwards until it had a good wave. I then took my 1/2 inch curling wand and curled random pieces but only in the midshaft of the hair. Nothing at the top and left the ends straight. That gave me lots of volume but wasn't "pretty", if that makes sense. Then I took Beyond the Zone volumizing powder and sprinkled it into my roots all around my head, got a good "dry" feeling from that and then put a little more powder in my hands and put it on the ends of my hair in different spots for more fuzzy texture.

I pulled the top section of my hair up into a high pony and wrapped a small section of my own hair around the band to hide it. I then took my backcombing brush and basically back combed the ever living life out of my hair, stuck a bone in the top (I wrapped a bobby pin to the bottom of the bone using the faux leather) and was left with some serious Cavegirl hair!

 

For my makeup, I did use my Tanwise self tanner for about a week before the party to get a little glow. I used my Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 hour foundation in shade 200. I like this because there's no SPF so you get very little, if any flash back in photo's from it. I used my L'Oreal concealer pencil in the darkest shade to contour my forehead, down my nose and to carve out some serious cheekbones! I then used the Wet N Wild bronzer in Rosy Gold for an all over warm glow. ELF baked highlighter in Moonlit Pearls down my nose, on the top of my cheeks and cupids bow. Maybelline Bouncy blush in Hot Tamale. 

For my eyes I started with brows...of course. I wanted them a little more dramatic than my normal brows so I used my Maybelline eyebrow pencil in Medium Brown (perfect for a warmer eyebrow when you have red hair!). I then used my Maybelline Color Tattoo in Creamy Beige as a base. I then used Smog from my Naked palette all over my eyelid. I used Half Baked right in the middle of my eyelid and Sin in my inner corner. I then used L'Oreal Infallible in Eternal Sunshine to blend those out into my crease and used L'Oreal Infallible in Iced Latte on my browbone. Rimmel ScandalEyes in black as an eyeliner and I just did a smudgy flick, nothing too perfect. Same colors on my lower lashline. Then I used Maybelline The Falsies mascara in black on my top lashes and Jordana Best Volume Extreme mascara on my bottom lashes. I then used KISS Ever EZ lashes in number 11. These are human hair lashes so they look really real, you don't get the tell tale glossy texture of fake lashes.

On my lips I used Jordana lipliner in Bordeaux all over my lips as a base. I applied Wet n Wild Mega Last lipstick in Cherry Bomb, one of my favorite fall lipsticks and it lasted ALL NIGHT.

Now for my favorite part...the leopard spots! I just couldn't resist...It just had to be done you guys. So for these I used an old ELF eyeliner in pure white to mark out the spots. I then applied Half Baked from the Naked Palette over the white spots using a Q-Tip to get a really bright pop of true gold. Then I used my NYX liquid eyeliner in black to do little "c" patterns around the gold, making sure to leave 2 openings on each one and try not to make them too uniform in shape or size. I then put a few little black spots in between to even out the shape and ended up with this:

 

So there you have it! Cavewoman hair and makeup! It ended up being one of our favorite costumes we've ever done. Super comfy and fun.

Yabadabadoooooooooo!

Fight Like A Girl

Not sure if I have shared this before but my mom is a breast cancer survivor. She actually got breast cancer two different times and ended up having complete mastectomy's and reconstructive surgery. So this month is near and dear to my heart. My mom is a fireball. A Gypsy, Gold Dust Woman. A wild woman, fearless, individual, completely her own self and strong as a lion. I know people say that all the time, but if you know her you know that to be true. She's the honest to god definition of fierce.

Her motto during her cancer was to fight like a girl. When she finally did beat it and was in recovery, she got two pink boxing gloves tattooed on her inner wrist with the quote "TKO 2006". The year she kicked cancer's ass. Pink boxing gloves have been her muse to keep her fighting, to keep her strong and to remind her of how far she's come and how strong she truly is. One of my favorite shirts of hers says "Hell Yes They're Fake! The Real One's Tried to Kill Me!". It's just so my mom.

I actually got a Breast Cancer ribbon tattoo while she was going through chemo and to this day, faded as it is, it always reminds me how serious breast cancer is and how lucky we were with my mom's recovery and how lucky we are to still have her with us.

Her amazing plastic surgeon recently asked her to be the face of a breast cancer awareness campaign this month and her photo shoot for it was today. I was so honored when she asked me to do her makeup. I didn't even think, of course I said yes as fast as I could.

She wasn't picky, just wanted to look pretty. I decided to go for super flattering colors and warmer neutrals. As you can see in the pics, I didn't need to add any pink to the makeup, she had enough pink going on already (such a bad ass).

I wanted products that would give her a lot of coverage and color payoff and would last through hot lights and a long photo shoot. I used the following:

Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation
Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer
CoverGirl Simply Powder Foundation
Mabelline Define-A Brow Dark Blonde
MAC Bare Study Paint Pot
L'Oreal Infallible Amber Rush
L'Oreal Infallible Iced Latte
L'Oreal Infallible Bronzed Taupe
Urban Decay Naked Basics palette (Faint and Crave)
Rimmel Scandaleyes Black Eyeliner
Rimmel Scandaleyes Nude Eyeliner
NYX Dusty Rose Blush
Milani Luminoso Blush
Maybelline The Falsies Black Mascara
Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes from Younique
Wet n Wild Mega Last Lipsticks in In the Flesh and Bare It All
L'Oreal Infallible Lipstick in Forever Frappe

Love You Long Time LADY.

5 minute Rose Gold and Plum Autumn Eyes

Hello Lovelies!

I have been playing around with different makeup since I dyed my hair this color and am loving the different options so far! These warmer, peachy, plummy colors have just spoken to me lately. I have been really enjoying this particular look and it seems to garner a lot of compliments so I thought I'd share it. I do this almost every day for work and it honestly takes less than 5 minutes but has major color payoff and it LASTS all day long.

I used Maybelline Color Tattoo Leather cream shadow as a base in "Creamy Beige". I love the Color Tattoo's, the Leather one's seem to be creamier and I really like the matte color of this one. Warmer than Tough as Taupe so it's perfect for this look.

I then applied L'Oreal Infallible in "Amber Rush" to my entire lid.  It's the perfect rose gold eyeshadow and makes blue eyes POP. I actually apply these shadows with my finger, I find that because they are pressed pigments I get less fall out and a lot more color by applying this way. I just gently pat it over the base, I don't wipe or rub.

Then taking a smaller paddle brush I apply MAC "Trax" to pack the color onto the outer third of my eyelid and then gently buff the line between the two colors to blend.

I then apply MAC "Satin Taupe" to the outer v and under my lower lash line.

I use L'Oreal Infallible in "Iced Latte" to my inner corner and browbone.

Creamy Beige, Amber Rush, Iced Latte, Trax, Satin Taupe

I used a clean fluffy brush to blend. I then applied 2 coats of Maybelline "The Falsies" on my top lashes and Jordana "Best Lash Extreme" on my lower lashes.

I didn't wear eyeliner today but I have worn this look with both a chocolate brown and a plum eyeliner and have loved the results.

On the rest of my face I used Garnier BB Cream for Combo skin, Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer in "Fair", CoverGirl powder foundation in "Creamy Natural", NYC Bronzer in "Sunny", Maybelline eyebrow pencil in "Medium Brown" (great for red hair), NYX blush in "Dusty Rose", Wet n Wild Mega Last Lip Color in "Bare it All" and "In The Flesh" mixed together. Hope you enjoy!

Wet n Wild Coloricon Eyeshadow Palette "The Naked Truth"

I was so excited when I saw this in the store. It's totally the neutral colors I love and I've always been impressed with the other Coloricon palettes. Walking on Eggshells has been a long time favorite of mine and Comfort Zone is awesome but it's a tad cumbersome to keep in my makeup bag. This has 5 colors but is the same shape as the 3 color palettes which are easy grab and go's.

The Naked Truth has a shimmery ivory browbone color, a light peachy matte base shade, a warm chocolate brown definer shade, an icy taupe eyelid shade and a coppery gold flecked crease shade.

I never use these how they recommend, I just use them however I like the look of. Sadly, these are not as great of quality as the other Wet n Wild palettes I love. Some of the shades are the normal buttery consistency of WnW eyeshadows and give decent payoff (the browbone and base shade) but others are chalky and produce a ton of fallout (the definer and crease shade).

Overall, I'd say this is an average drugstore palette but has a good selection of colors and would be one I'd grab for a weekend out of town or an overnight trip to have in my makeup bag. Average quality and convenient packaging, also great price point. I think I got this for less than $3 at Walgreens.

Have you tried any of the other new 5 shade Coloricon palettes? Any you'd recommend?



Falling Leaf Nails

It was a foggy, cloudy Saturday here this past weekend. My son took a spill on his scooter and was nursing quite the fat lip, so he asked to watch a movie. Once Hocus Pocus started playing, I knew I was ready for some fall nails. I decided to do a mixed mani (different patterns on each nail). So I came up with this:

Essie "Well Structured" with Wet n Wild "Glamorous Gold" glitter on my pinky and Thumb

Ultra Pro Nail "Big Spender" on my ring fingers. I used a black nail art brush to make a tree and then used both the small and large sides of my dotting tool to make falling trees. I used 3 colors to make the "leaves".

Sinful "Courtney Orange" on my middle finger.

Essie "Well Structured" with China Glaze "Tarnished Gold" crackle polish on my pointer finger.

Well Structured is one of my favorite fall colors. It reminds me of rich leather, like the color of an expensive handbag.

Wet n Wild MegaLast Liquid Lip Color

I totally admit it. I did not NEED another lip product. But the colors got me. And the price. These were $2.99 and on sale at Walgreens so I got 2 for $3.50.

 

I grabbed Back to the Fuchsia and Click on my HyperPink because I was intrigued by the super opaque colors and the promise of a MegaLast lipgloss. The thing is...these are not glosses.

I mistakenly applied the first one like a lipgloss. Took the doefoot applicator and just went at it, slicking on a couple layers right off the bat.

This is seriously one swipe of the wand...OPAQUE

And then I was like "Oh what kind of fresh hell is this??!!". Instant clumpy, dry, sticky, splotchy, ooey gooey grossness.

NOT GOOD. And it stains. So even after I was finally able to chisel this stuff off my lips, they were bright freaking pink and pissed off.

I didn't want it go to waste, so I started reading some other reviews and most people said to put a balm on first, apply a teeny tiny layer and leave it alone.

The way I was able to make this stuff work was similar. I applied a little lip balm, then took a tiny amount of the Liquid Lip color and dabbed it on with my finger so it was more of a stain look than a straight opaque lip color. I topped with a gloss and finally liked the look (and feel) of this product. I would not apply with the applicator included because there is no possible way to get an even application. You can't keep reapplying to get it even or else it never dries and just clumps and looks awful.

It does stay for ages and the colors are seriously intense. It just takes a little bit of coddling to get a good result. Not my favorite thing due to my general lazy approach to lips. I like something I can just slick on and call it good. This takes patience.

I will keep these and will definitely use these for events where I need my lips to stay bright and punchy for hours. But not an everyday lip product for me.

Have you tried these? Any tricks to make them work for you?

Prom Hair and Makeup

This year my super gorgeous cousin Allison went to her first prom. I was so excited when she asked me to do her hair and makeup for it. I don't actually remember if she asked or if I insisted...either way :) We've done hair/makeup for homecoming, but prom is a major deal and so much more exciting.

Her dress was this gorgeous, poppy pinkish red hue that just looked stunning on her. Because it had one shoulder of rosettes, we decided to do her hair all to one side. She chose a voluminous side swept style and I think she chose the perfect hair to compliment her dress.

This was the inspiration picture she chose. I think we got pretty close, with a few little changes because her hair isn't as long as the picture.

I started on her dry hair. I split the hair in sections by layer and sprayed each section with heat protectant. I then curled the hair with my flat iron  and curled it in different directions so it wouldn't clump together. I think curling in different directions was the most vital step to this look. It really gave her hair more volume and kept it big. Which is what she wanted.

Once I got about 1/2 way up her head, I started slightly backcombing each section before curling to give it a little more "oomph" since she wanted volume.

When we reached the crown section, I used Backcomb in a Bottle by Big Sexy Hair. I sprayed at the roots and then slightly backcombed that as well for extra volume. I flat iron curled all of those sections and allowed it all to cool in clips.

Once it was cooled, I started pinning the bottom section. She didn't want a "ponytail" look, more side swept. So I just very loosely (don't pull) started pinning pieces to the side while working with the curl. As I worked my way up I tried to pin on top of the already pinned pieces to create more of a cascading look instead of an updo.

I finished by taking my backcomb tail, inserting it on the crown section and lightly pulling up to get the top to loosen. This created the final bit of volume at her crown. I then placed 3 rhinestoned pins in the twist section of the hair and sprayed the ever loving hell out her hair.

 

 

Now on to makeup.

 

 

 

Because her dress was such an extraordinary shade, we didn't want to try to match or go bright with the lips. So, a traditional smokey eye seemed like a good choice for some drama. This girl has crazy long eyelashes so we didn't have to use fake eyelashes. 

 

I think the combination of a smokey eye with a lighter lip kept her look youthful and fresh but still dramatic and special enough for prom. I used the following products for her makeup look:

 

Face:

Revlon ColorStay Foundation

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

Rimmel Match Perfection Highlighting Concealer

NYC Sunny Bronzer

Revlon Coral Reef Cream Blush

Wet n Wild Reserve Your Cabana Highlighter



Eyes:
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Branded and Bad to the Bronze
Urban Decay Naked Palette (Sin, Virgin, Halfbaked, Smog, Toasted, Hustle and Creep)
CoverGirl 24 Hour LashBlast Mascara on top lashes only
Sephora Flashy Eyeliner in Ultra Brown on ower lashes and waterline
L'Oreal Carbon Black Lineur Intense liquid eyeliner

Lips:
Bonne Bell Lip Lites Strawberry Parfait

Overall, I was so pleased with how it all came out and was so lucky to be able to be a part of Ali's special day. She's a gorgeous girl who I love so very much and I can't wait to do it again next year!!

Drugstore Highlighter-Wet n Wild "Reserve Your Cabana"

Pretty much forever I have been searching for a drugstore powder highlighter that I liked. I have been using a Pixi one that I've had FOREVER but it is a little too peachy. Still gorgeous, just not exactly what I've been looking for.

I have seen EmilyNoel talk about Wet n Wild "Reserve Your Cabana" and have not been able to find it in any of our stores. We don't have an Ulta nearby either, shame.

However, a few weeks ago I was looking at the makeup aisle in Walgreens...as you do...and ta-da! There she was. In all of her $3 glory.

Suffice it to say, she was mine in an instant.

Can I just say how HUGE this is? It is literally bigger than my palm.

Technically it is sold as a "bronzer". I'm not sure who this would bronze as it is literally cream colored. It is definitely a highlighter, with it's cream color and slightly shimmery/sheen finish. It makes your face glow in a gorgeous way.

I like to use this on top of my cheekbones, down the nose and the cupids bow. I've even used it on minimal makeup days for my brow and inner corner highlight and it's worked beautifully.

The only...ONLY...thing that I don't completely love about this is that it is slightly powdery. As in, if you put your brush in, even lightly, you will have fall out. So make sure you tap any excess off before going to your face.

Other than that, this is a STEAL and once it runs out, if it ever runs out, this is something that will be a permanent addition to the makeup collection!

March Favorites

Finally. Does anyone else think March was like the longest month ever? Maybe it's because we had Spring Break in the middle or something. It just seems like it's been March for-EVER.

On that note...here are the products I used and loved during the long ass month of March :) It's a lot of Clinique for some reason too.

I am wearing 4 out of my 5 favorite things in this look! Foundations, Eyeshadow Trio, Blush and Lipgloss.

1. Wet N Wild "Silent Treatment" palette. I've been wearing this pretty much all month long. I can wear this 2 different ways, with the medium shade over my lid with the pink shade as a highlight or I use the pink shade on my browbone and eyelid and use the medium shade as a crease color (see above photo). It's soft but looks polished either way. These are very pigmented so you don't need a lot of color and they last all day. For under $3 this is a must have palette for me.

2. I've been mixing 2 foundations this month to get a look I am loving. I like both on their own but neither is the right shade for me right now. I am mixing L'Oreal True Match in N2 and Clinique Even Better in Neutral. I mix equal parts on the back of my hand and apply with my MAC foundation brush. The result is a perfectly glowy face. Love love love.

3. Estee Lauder Pure Color High Gloss Ultra Brilliance Lipgloss in Flash Dance.  I love Flash Dance because it looks like a super bright pink in the tube but turns into this flattering shade on the lips. It just instantly perks my face up. Also, Estee Lauder has some of the best scented lip glosses I've ever tried. The consistency is perfect as well. Not too sticky, just perfectly glossy.

 

  

4. Clinique "Happy" perfume. I have used this since high school. I really only ever use it around springtime because it is just SO springy. Something about it always takes me back to springtime. It's so fresh, girlie and literally "happy". I have been wearing this pretty much nonstop all month.

 

 

 

5. Clinique Blush in "Cupid". It's been on the favorite list before and for a good reason. One swish of this blush lights up your whole face. It's a universally flattering pink, perfect for spring and just gives that sweet pop of pink we all love! I have gone through 2 of these blushes and will definitely keep purchasing it. It is a fantastic blush!

 





Holiday Nail Ideas

I usually just go for red or sparkly during the holidays but this year I felt a little more creative. I tend to do my nails twice a week and so I have had a few "Christmas" themed manis this month that I thought I would pass along.

I didn't have skinny nail polishes when I started so this snowflake ended up looking like a giant fail. But...I think the "idea" of it is still a good one and very festive, once you improve on your snowflake abilities. The gold is Sephora by OPI "Looks Like Rain, Dear". It's so pretty and sparkly but it is the WORST glitter polish to remove. The red is "Target Red" by L'Oreal.

I was definitely on a "snowflake" kick this year and really loved the effect on the nails, especially over glittery polish. First I did this green mani with just the glittery green nails. It's Wet n Wild "Sagreena The Teenage Witch" with Sinful "Call Me Later" glittery green topcoat. It was SO sparkly. It reminded me of The Grinch. I decided to try a better snowflake with the skinny nail brush and LOVED the look of it.

 

The next mani was an "icy" themed one. I wanted to try a sparkly snowman accent nail on glittery silver nails and I think it was one of my favorites. It was just so wintery and whimisical. I really loved it. I used Wet N Wild "Silvivor" with Nicole by OPI "You're A Star" on top which is silvery holo polish that just makes the nails glow. This mani lasted me 5 days before it started to even think about chipping. I think glitters are that way, they hold the polish better!

 

The one I decided to just go all out with the Christmas theme. I really loved "Sagreena The Teenage Witch" and I don't know when else I'll wear it if not at Christmas. So I did that on all of my fingers except my accent nails. Those were coated in 2 coats of "Target Red". I used a skinny nail brush to make white snowflakes on all the green nails. I then made the red nails look like Santa's suit. It is SO Christmassy!

Hope that gave you some ideas for your holiday mani!

Mistletoe Makeup

 

 

Warning: This is NOT a tutorial. I was at home Saturday night organizing my makeup stash when I pulled out the Wet n Wild Comfort Zone palette. An idea for smokey green eyes popped into my head so I tried it out. I ended up loving the look and wanted to pass it on. It's **almost** 100% drugstore and so festive, but still very wearable I think. I tried it with a nude lip but it didn't pop for me like I wanted it too. I tried a red lip and viola...Mistletoe Makeup!

 

 

 

 

Here is a list of the products I used:

 

1. Clinique Even Better Foundation

2. Revlon ColorStay Under Eye Concealer

3. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Powder

4. NYC Sunny Bronzer

5. Clinique "Cupid" Blush

6. Sephora Waterproof Eyeliner in Glitter Green

7. Wet n Wild Comfort Zone Palette (3 green shades)

8. Urban Decay Naked Palette (Virgin as a highlight, Naked as a brow powder and Buck in the crease)

9. Maybelline Blackest Black Gel Eyeliner

10. L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara in Black

11. Benefit Prrrowl Mascara Topcoat (you can see the shimmer in some pictures)

12. Clinique "Merlot' lipstick



October Favorites

 

It's November, my birthday month!! My favorite holiday month (Thanksgiving). I love love love November. I can't believe how fast October flew by. But, it's here which means it's time for my October favorites!

L'Oreal True Match Lumi Foundation. I've done several reviews of this foundation and can't rave enough about it. It's seriously a game changer.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stain in Precious. I have had Honey and Fuchsia for a while but just recently picked up Precious. I was a little hesitant because it looks very nude in the package. On my lips takes on a nude that's wearable and has just a touch of pink which makes it more flattering than a regular tan based nude, I think.

L'Oreal Colour Riche Nail Polish in Greyt Expectations. This color just keeps impressing me. I can wear it for over a week with minimal wear, the color goes with everything and it's so unique and pretty. I can't stop wearing it!

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy perfume. An all time favorite and a bit of my signature scent. My husband usually buys me a bottle every Christmas but I've been out for a while. I recently spotted the large bottle at TJ Maxx for $30 and snatched it right up. This scent is so feminine and lingering but not too "girlie" or fruity or over the top. It's just a really lovely perfume and one that always gets noticed, in a good way.

Wet N Wild Comfort Zone Palette. I have definitely gotten my $5 worth out of this product. I've worn it a million different ways already and even used it for my Halloween Witchy Woman costume. So versatile and such high quality.

L'Oreal Voluminous Full Definition Mascara. My first L'Oreal mascara purchase was a few months ago after LashBlast frustrated me beyond repair. I bought the original Voluminous Carbon Black mascara and loved it. I liked it so much I felt a little more brave venturing into the L'Oreal mascara world. Full Definition looked right up my alley and I'm loving it. It lengthens, seperates, volumizes and defines my lashes like nothing I've tried before. It's an amazing mascara! It reminds me a lot of the original Lancome Hypnose mascara.

That's it for my favorites this month. HAPPY NOVEMBER!!

Wet n Wild "Comfort Zone" Palette Review

Today I'm reviewing another awesome palette from Wet n Wild, but this time it's one of their 8 shade palettes in "Comfort Zone".  They have a few of these 8 shade palettes, but Comfort Zone is the only one with shades I really wear. They have a purple toned palette and also a blue toned one. This one just seemed the most user friendly and had some shades that I don't have, it's also perfect for fall. I think I'm in love.

I purchased it for $4.99 at Walgreens.

Again, Wet n Wild is just killing it with their eyeshadows. The quality is amazing. Serious payoff and pigmentation. They are buttery smooth and apply amazingly well. The best part is they are actually using unique colors.

These are swatched with one wipe, no primer. The left side is more romantic neutrals, you get a perfect shimmery cream, a metallic peachy rose, a taupe and a plummy brown. The top 3 colors look a lot like their 3 shade palette Walking on Eggshells, but are different once they are on the eye. I believe the deep plum shade is an exact dupe for MAC "Beauty Marked".

 



The right side is a little more brave and unique, you get a light taupey champagne, a very wearable leaf green, a deep mossy greenish brown and a duochrome (I KNOW RIGHT?!?!) reddened bronzey green with teal flash that is so pretty and wearable! It is also a spot on dupe for MAC "Club".

Overall I am very pleased with this palette and feel like it is exceptional quality. The colors wear beautifully and with that kind of color for $4.99 you are getting a great deal! The only thing is I wish Wet n Wild would name their colors, it would make describing and reviewing them so much easier.
