I keep going back to the swatch thread and drooling over Mega-Rich, Blonde's Gold, Antique Green, and Museum Bronze
I have a baaaaddd feeling I'm fixing to cave on these |

Both of those have come full from the beginning...Mauvement is a re-promote but why they filled mega-Rich completley full and not the others is weird. Someone mentioned they got all colors filled to the top recently on-line so hopefully they have now started doing this. I'll find out in Tuesday when I get my next batch in...If they are all filled to the top I'll let everyone know

In my opinion, they are quite different.
Blonde's Gold is actually what I was hoping Jardin Aires would be: a creamy-smooth, uniformly shimmery neutral beigey light gold.
On me(I'm NW15; brunette; jade green eyes) Jardin Aires was an unflattering peach. Fortunately, I bought only a sample, and have never used it.
On the other hand, I love Blonde's Gold; depending on what you wear it with, it can even take on cool, taupe-y tones, which for me is good.
BTW, my jar was full almost to the top.
I am trying to convince myself that this is still more than I will ever need, and that a backup is unnecessary.
But you all know how that goes!

I just made myself a lipstick with lip balm, heritage rouge all over the lip and blonde's gold in the center. It looks awesome!

Can anyone tell me how Blondes Gold looks in person? I was wondering if its more on the gold or white or tan side, oh and if it is very sparkly or more flat.
Thanks

On me it's a golden tan color. It's definitely not flat as it has lots of shimmer. Overall it's a must have imo

I loveeeee shimmery/sparkly piggies. I am trying to decide if I want any. I have sumptious olive so do I need Vintage Gold? And I have bronze eyeshadow so do I need Musuem Bronze. I would hate to buy them if they are too close, but they look so lovely on the swatch thread

The big difference is the finish, they are so soft and smooth. Much different than other pigments.

I think the colours are quite similar to some of the eyeshadows. Vintage gold was fairly similar to Mink & Sable, but maybe a touch more green (I loooove vintage gold) and Museum Bronze is kinda similar to some of the bronze-y browns, (tempting and Go come to mind). However, these are more shimmery, on my lids they almost have a foil-like quality to them. And they also have incredible lasting power over a good base. I used my Benefit Fy eye first and then the ArtDeco base and put these on top and they didn't crease at all over a 14 hour day. Nothing else that I have has that kind of staying power. Did I mention that i love vintage gold?!

You might find them quite different when you use it. Provence is much lighter and has a whitish base to it. BG is darker with a tan-gold base to it. They're different enough to warrant owning both in my opinion, however, I quite like Provence and might be in the minority on that one!

I swatched it at the counter today while I was paying for the Studio Talk class I'm taking next weekend. I wanted to grab it, but I'll just use my $50 credit from the class when I go. It's so gorgeous. I really wish I wouldn't have bought Provence pgmt at the CCO last month.
