Overall Rating 5
Price Value 5+++
Packaging Quality 5
Buy again YES!!
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.
She has colors that I used to dream of.
Robin's Egg Gold is a gorgeous color. If you have seen Steel Blue pigment from MAC, imagine a more pastel version (about half as dark) but in a very fine mill (not the chunkiness of MAC's Steel Blue) then you have an idea of what this looks like. Looks great with Steel Blue as a highlight.
Used with a base, most of the sweetscents pigments perform just as well or better than the MAC pigments. The amazing part is that you can get 10g jars (MAC pigments are 7.5g for shimmer and 2.5g for matte colors) for approx $2 each - The price is unbelievable-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.
