Copper Interference is another unique fabulous color! (skip the next few paragraphs if you have been following my sweetscents reviews, it is just to let people know some basic information)
Well, I just HAVE to take the time to review these pigments. Perhaps you are a MAC pigment addict and wish for more colors to buy, but there aren't any more.
Maybe you are a MAC pigment addict and the $18.50 for one color is prohibitive for you.
In either case, this may be an answer for you. Sweetscents.com is run by a woman who supplies pigments to many major makeup companies so that they can use them in their makeup of their own formulations. The milling of most of these colors is similar to the finer milling of the newer MAC pigments, not the chunkier versions in the old formulations.
She has colors that I used to dream of. The price is unbelievable- approx $2 a jar- go to http://www.sweetscents.com/mica_2.html and look for the mica pack combos at the bottom. There is about $8 shipping or so.
Interference Copper is FABULOUS. It is a peachy copper interference color. That means a translucent white base with shimmer that is iridescent and shows up better the darker the base.
This is awesome. Worn alone it is almost ethereal. Over other colors there is no limit to what you can do with them (like lipstick).
Also, you can mix this into any plain pigment and come up with awesome alternatives.
I LOVE this color and plan to buy an ounce some day (like 35g for $7.50)
