As with previous posts swatches are done over Smashbox 24hr primer on the left and Darling Girl Glitter Glue. Swatches are photographed in natural daylight.
Malebranche - "A rich midtone
copperish brown with slight metallic effects, and overlaid with a
pale blue to silver duochrome effect. In different lighting, the
duochrome can appear to blend with the base color, giving this shade
a purplish lean."
This is a subtle duochrome, though you can see it in these pictures. Comes out much better over a sticky base as many duochromes do,
Rubicante - "A muted rich red plush
matte base with violet tones. It is overlaid with a strong duochrome
effect which ranges from blue to violet."
Very similar to Malebranche in these photos, and fairly similar in real life this one leans much pinker whereas Malebranche is more orange. They're different enough for it to be worth having both if you're into colours like this, but similar enough that if you prefer one of the two base tones you'd only need to get the one.
Scarmiglione - "A muted midtone
purplish grey taupe plush matte base with a very strong color
traveling duochrome which ranges from vibrant gold to chartreuse."
This is one of the most 'sparkly' shades in the collection, really very pretty and the duochrome comes out quite well in the right lighting.
The collection is currently unavailable but when it returns you will be able to purchase the full collection as a set here (samples $13.00, full size $84.50)

I can only imagine how big your make up collection is beautiful. Wish I was brave enough to wear some of the colours you have. xx
ReplyDeleteI have a problem. I haven't counted recently, but I'm going to inventory my collection soon, last I checked it was over 100 indie samples >.<. They're so cheap and I just want all the colours! I do need to destash. I don't know if it's bravery or just no longer caring, then again I wish I had the confidence (and looks) to wear some of the stunning fashions and clothes you share on your wishlists :)
DeleteOoo i love the last one! and ditto what niggles said, i wish i had the nerve to wear them. Sorry i haven't been around, I'm really glad you're back blogging regularly again i missed reading...your looks and posts have come on so far from where you started. xx
