Their promotion was 1 jar for $20, buy 2 get 1 free, or buy 4 get 4 free. I'm not the best with confrontation with sales people so I went for the 4 for 4, making each pigment pot about $10 a piece. Bad part is that each pot is small - 2.5 gms/0.1 ounces for the shimmers, 5 gms for the glitters. The pots were TINY, so I bought some clear jars from TransDesign [official website] (which did have nice fast shipping, although it was $9 for shipping) and depotted them today. I haven't had a chance to play with them yet, but I wanted to take a few pictures.
Bottom row - L to R
* White (glitter)
* Effervescence (shimmer) which is a cornsilk blue (also, on the website, this is listed as Effervascence)
* Purple (glitter)
* Silver (glitter)
Second row - L to R
* Evoke (shimmer) which is a rust like dusty rose
* Vibrance (shimmer) which is a turquoise
* Venice (shimmer) which is a dull dusty purple
Top row
* Carnival (shimmer) which is an orange gold
I will probably use the Evoke as lip gloss as well because I love that color for lips.
Stand up to the sales people! They won't be offended if you say no! (great range of colours though, I dare you to eat some :p )
ReplyDeleteDo you know where I can find a list of brands that sell pigments that can be used for polishes? Or just what to look for in a pigment that would make it usable.
ReplyDeleteRebecca - as soon as I was leaving, Osi's partner showed up and tried to get me to buy MORE pigments at $10/pot. I was irritated because I just bought 8 and had a hard time picking out those colors. Then Osi wanted me to try foundation (DO NOT WANT). Sigh.
ReplyDeleteChele - I know that MAC does, I'll see if I can find the post from Temptalia where she talks about pigments and post it on the forum :D
Thanks Krystal. I have a couple of bare escentuals/minerals eyeshadows that would look great as polishes but I'm not sure if they would work properly.
ReplyDeleteChele, you could also buy pigments and micas from Coastal Scents.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Krystal. I am going to have to try them out but I have so much already lol.
