Tropical Starlight is absolutely gorgeous. It is what I wished that MAC's Melon or Rose Pigments would have been. It looks fabulous with MAC's Melon and Rose Pigments, but is a different color.

Warm intense pink base with luscious gold shimmer, this color is rich and beautiful. Makes fabulous lipcolor, blush, and eyeshadow. The texture is very fine, but coverage is excellent. When used with a good base, it stays on well, but if used with mixing medium, it is intense and looks even more rich and opulent.

If you were to put MAC Rose and MAC Melon Pigment together in a grinder, you might come out very close to this color. FABULOUS with MAC Golden Olive, many of the Sweetscents Gold pigments, Sweetscents Golden Green ,Robin's Egg Blue, MAC's Steel Blue, Sweetscents Copper Interference, Turquoise interference- this is a very versatile color.

I love it as a lipcolor. It is truly stunning when smeared over lipstick or gloss. You can mix it in before application, but when i am out, I find it easier to just apply lipstick or gloss and quickly slash some pigment over it. Stays on well too.


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!
