Overall 5
Price Value 5
Packaging Quality 5
Buy again? YES!
Boy, how do I describe Tibetan Ochre- hmmm. I would say that this is a metallic peachy brick red. I mean METALLIC. Like liquid metal metallic. Absolutely stunning and unlike any other color I have ever seen, Tibetan Ochre (not sure why the name is so non-descript) is a must have for my collection.
Wait- I just checked- it is a dead ringer for stereo rose skinfinish when applied to the skin! Oh WOW! This is quite a discovery for me! If applied wet, both of them look almost identical. WOW oh WOW!
Awesome as a lip color and if applied ever so lightly, you can probably use this for a blush if doing a metallic look (Think Dior's gold lady campaign some time back).
Yes, this is a beautiful color
NOTE: Since writing this review, I have discovered that using a mixture of Sweetscents Firefly, Cappucino, and Tibetan Ochre, I have been able to create an exact visual copy of MAC's Coco Beach pigment! Next to each other on skin, they look identical.
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 if you do not see it on the site (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!
