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 Turquoise is the one of the most fabulous pigment colors I own. It is a translucent white base that suspends an iridescent turquoise shimmer that adds a subtle shimmer- more intense when used on darker bases.
I use this stuff constantly. I plan to purchase an entire ounce of this stuff someday ($7.50 for about 35g). I use it as a highlighter, over rose, red, bronze, brown, gold, violet, purple and even taupe lipstick colors. It really adds dimension and opens up the world of makeup to me 1000%.
I LOVE this color. The price is so fabulous that it makes it easy to add to my collection too.
