Sweetscents Pigments: Old Fashioned Rose (loose color powder)
Overall 5
Price value 5
Packaging Quality 5
Buy again? YES

Sweetscents carries various types of pigment. There are the opaque heavy coverage kind (Satin Slipper is one of those), there are the metallic sheen kind (like cactus blossom or royal peacock) and then there is the shimmery microsparkly kind (white gold is an example).

Old Fashioned Rose fits into the third glittery sparkly kind. Old Fashioned Rose makes a nice overlay on top of other colors. Looks awesome over MAC's Pink Opal. It goes well over Fuschia, or any other color that a tiny bit of rose sparkle would look good over.

It is a LOT finer than the MAC glitters, so don't be confused, it is just not the solid metallic type of pigment that some of the others are. It is also eye safe.

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 (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!
