Disclosure
Affiliate disclosure
How I earn from links, what the pictures show, and how I choose products.
Affiliate links
When you buy through a product link, the store pays me a small commission. You pay the same price, and it helps run the site.
A commission doesn't buy a place on a list: I don't accept paid placements or paid descriptions.
Amazon
I am a member of the Amazon Associates program. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Ximena Finds on Benable
I also keep shopping lists under the name Ximena Finds on Benable. Those links can pay me too, with the same rules: the exact shade name and no "I tried".
Amazon and PDFs
The season guides are PDFs with no product or affiliate links. Named picks live on the free pages of this site.
What I don't say
Nothing here is a review from use. I don't claim to have used a product I link.
Pictures
- The pictures on the product cards and the eye looks show each shade. They are not photos of these products.
- When a card shows a product photo, it comes from Amazon and links to that product, and the line next to the picks then says so.
- Swatches and palettes are flat blocks in their exact color. The painting is the frame, and the swatch is the data.
How I choose products
Products are chosen by color for the season, from my Amazon and Benable lists, and linked once per page. I never say I tried or use a product I link.
Price levels are drugstore up to $15, mid from $16 to $40, and luxury from $41. Shade names, prices and stock change at the store, so read the listing before you buy.
Read the exact shade name on the store page before you buy, and look at the swatches the brand or reviewers show.
Why, and how solid
Why: brands rename and drop shades, and the store page is always the latest word on what is sold.
Our policy A promise about how I work, not a claim about color.
