This is a slight more subdued version of MAC's Old Gold. Not quite as shiny as the shimmer in Old Gold, Saguaro Cactus has a slightly more green shimmer in it too. The base is slightly lighter than MAC's Old Gold, but the effect is very similar.

I like the Old Gold enough to have that around, but this is an excellent substutite if you really can not afford Old Gold, or if you won't use it as much and just want to spend a couple of dollars on it.

If I had to choose between them, I would prefer Old Gold, but if money was a serious issue at the time of choice, I would easily feel happy to opt for Saguaro Cactus.

If this is your first sweetscents review, they are phenomenal bargains. The same quality as MAC (each color varies in characteristics as with MAC pigments) sweetscents cost approx $2 each. You can find out more about them at http://www.sweetscents.com/mica_2.html Go to the bottom of the page at the mica pack combos for a selection of pricing packs.

Not all colors I am reviewing are listed on the site right now - it is supposed to be revamped soon, but if you tell the sweetscents lady that you read my review and I reviewed this color, then she will not like wonder how in the world you knew to ask for it. HAHAHA.

Also, she is very helpful in helping you to find colors you might like if you tell her what you want. She helped me find a ton of colors that I just love by talking with me via phone and/or emailing me about them.
