The Shespace

So, I've gotten VERY frustrated with Archetype Cosmetics b/c I STILL have not received my order so I took revenge by ordering way too many samples from Heather at theshespace.com and I can't wait for my samples. They should be here next week and I was really impressed with her variety of colors. Has anyone ordered from The Shespace recently so that I can get an idea of what I'll be getting soon? I think I'll be happy, but it would be nice to see some swatches. I ordered one called Aphrodite Screams which is a bright, shimmery orange and I really can't wait to try it.
Any feeback would be great!!!

I've ordered 3-4 times from theshespace and I love her pigments it does run on the glitterly side though but I love her $0.50 samples. There's some swatches of her pigments in the 'product swatches'. I also have some swatches on my blogspot. You can also check that out too.

I love her pigments, they are so pretty and nice colors... They help out when you don't have the money for mac ;-)

Is the color payoff good? Do they last all day?

The color payoff is good. Like already mentioned, a lot are very shimmey but they have branched out since then and made a lot more customizable ones with finishes. The lasting power is decent with a primer though I haven't used many of the samples that I've gotten from her b/c I find the baggies to be inconvenient and I hate transferring to pots. lol. It makes me feel like I am getting a lesser quality product even though that's not the case.

As for Aphrodite Screams in particular, it's gorgeous!

I just ordered a few recently and I like what I got

I like the sample baggies... they are so cheap, it's a great way to get colors you know you won't use often or colors to use a liner. I received my order fairly quickly as well, even though their site noted that they were on vacation at the time I placed my order.

I love Heather's piggies. Very pretty. And as long as you have a good primer on, it stays on the whole day!

I ordered several custom pigments from the pigment bar and several regular samples. The few custom ones I ordered had either iridescence or iridescent twinkle and I don't know if I really care for them that much. Most of the colors I did order where light, pale colors and I felt like they were way too powdery. I know they were velvet bases, but I was looking for more of a sheen or iridescence than what I got. One of the ones I got was Sassy Sister and very pretty violet/lilac color with green twinkle and it just looked like a powdery pale purple.

Maybe I need to try it again with the Diamond Sparkle and see how it goes.

Heather is taking pre-orders for quicker order filling on full kits of her new LE edition of Cinderella colors - at a 15% discount - these are gorgeous colors. I might even be willing to consider gifting a few pots to my friends, if they are reeeallllly good! ;-)

("regular" orders of individual colors can be placed starting Aug 4, and will ship in the order received. While she still has a backlog, she's hired some new employees and hopes to get it hacked down very soon)
I'm pretty sure my personal favorites are going to be Short on Sass, Suspicious Stepmom, Then He Kissed Me, Secret Wishes, and Midnight at the Palace.

And if you love to see swatches, check for any of Anklebytr's posts on her message board, and click on the links in her signature - great pics and swatches!

Sigh. I just pre ordered the whole set even though I didn't want all the colors. I'll probably copy your idea (shame on me) and give some to my sister. I am really excited about the blue colors and One Broken Stiletto. I got an extra paycheck at work as a bonus for the summer so obviously some of it is going to this nice big purchase. I definitely won't be buying anything new for A WHILE!!
I asked Heather if she could do a navy/royal blue with red iridescence/twinkle/sparkle. She emailed me back and said she will work on it so I'm excited!
