Sweetscents Pigments: Amethyst Iridescent (loose color powder)
Overall 5
Price Value 5
Packaging Quality 5
Buy again? YES!

Amethyst Iridescent- wow, what a gorgeous color. Imagine MAC's Vanilla pigment except that the base color is not cream, but is lilac purple. That pretty much describes Amethyst Iridescent. The overall effect is a pastel wine color with warm wine/pink shimmer.

This pigment is a fine texture but goes on like silk. Used wet with mixing medium it is brilliant. This color has a lot of interesting depth and is not like any other color I have seen in any pigment line.

Beautiful color. Really beautiful. Looks awesome with MAC's Golden Olive Pigment.

I use it over Lancome Colour Dose base in Lilac before it sets. I would also recommend using mixing medium with all pigments if you want intense looks that last all night.

If this is your first sweetscents review....

If you want to check out these pigments, they are about $2 each for a 10g jar (MAC wants $18.50 for a 7.5g jar) and the quality is as good as MAC in most of the colors.

Go to http://www.sweetscents.com/mica_2.html and look for Mica Pack Combos at the bottom of the page.

Some of the colors that I am reviewing are not on the site yet, it is supposed to be revamped soon. You can talk with the sweetscents lady via phone or email (it is on the site) and tell her that you read my review of the color if you do not see it on the site (she knows me by now since I ask endless questions- I am the artist capri) and that way she will not wonder how you knew about the color.

She will also help you find colors you might like if you tell her what you like or are looking for. That is how I found so many awesome colors. She is a pigment addicts DREAM!
