Sweetscents Pigments: Arctic Waters (loose color powder)
Overall 5
Price value 5
Packaging quality 5
Buy again? YES!
Arctic waters is an interesting color. The base is the color of Shimpagne Skinfinish and the shimmer is an icy aqua. Used dry, it is the intense shimmery pigment, used wet, it is cohesive metallic looking and very shiny. Application of this pigment is intense and it is easy to build up thickly if you want. You can also easily wash it out.
The milling of it is very fine so it blends nicely. Compared to MAC's Frozen White, the texture is a lot nicer- Frozen white is chunky, which is great and I love it. This is a different effect.
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!
