“No Budge”??? This sounds like an answer to my prayers. Like something I could use as a base that might just be allergy/wind tears proof! I’m so hoping, anyway.
i got this in copper chic recently. it makes a decent shadow base though it’s not terrifically pigmented. i’m going to put rich amythest on my list as i’ve found good purples hard to come by. i really like kiko milano’s long lasting shadow sticks as well.
Some really pretty shades, of course I like Rich Amethyst, but I love Blue Steel and Midnight Sapphire. Rose Quarts could also find a home with me, I sometime like to have just a sheer shimmer, eyeliner and mascara.
I have my beady eye on Rose Gold and Copper Chic – they look particularly good.
Vintage Suede is a cool cooler definitely getting Groovy!!
I really like the look of Magnetic Pull, Blue Steel, and Perfect Pearl as a highlight color!
My eye immediately went to Blue Steel!
I snagged Rose Quartz and Perfect Pearl from Target a couple of weeks ago, and they had VERY light pigmentation, were more glittery and less metallic than I expected, and were fairly greasy on my skin. Like glittery vaseline. Back they went. I was sad because had they been more opaque/pigmented and smoothly metallic, I would have stocked up on the lot. From the looks of your swatches, however, my experience might pertain solely to those two colors (lucky me), as the rest don’t appear to have that same texture.
I should have waited for your swatches! That will teach me…
