Franken Preview! Clarins 230 - Updated

Edit: 2-28-11

STILL waiting for the sun to appear at a time when i can take pictures. I tried using my OTT light, but it just doesn't want to pick up the colors. Here's the best pick I could get w/artificial light:


and a couple of bottle picks:




Unfortunately, I don't think the Colorama is condensed enough to do a proper 230 dupe. But I'm going to reserve final judgment until I can get good sunlight picks.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, earlier I hinted I had a cool franken coming up....well, when I hit Colorama jackpot the other weekend, I was able to score a bottle of #40 Frosty Pink. FP has the same color shifting pigment found in Clarins 230.

I'm going to do a full post later this week, I want to wait until I get some sunlight to take proper photos, but here's a quick bottle pick.

Hee!



Thanks for looking!

Colorama Spam pt 3

Here's the last of the Colorama swatches for now.

#140 Night on the Town


No number Grape Spritzer


#160 Steel Wheeling (over Grape Spritzer)


#87 Burgundy Blaze


All in all an awesome haul. I'm still in shock, my Bit Lots never has anything good!!

Thanks for looking!

Colorama Spam pt 2

This color is #115 Cool Blues. What a pretty color! It's very sheer, but I still think it's so cute on it's own. I haven't tried layering it yet...




This one is #107 Turquoise Seas...




so, let's put it to the test, here are real turquoise seas....
Pretty close! ha ha.

This last color is #109 Glass Slipper


Seeing my cruise pick makes me want to take a tropical vacation again...sigh.

Thanks for looking!

Colarama Spam: Part 1

These four are some of the top coats, each color is one coat over WnW Nocturnal:

1st one is called Lemon Twist. This one didnt' have a number, next is #24 Gold Wash, #35 Cold as Ice and #45 Blazes of Blue.


The next color is #190 Gold Lights:


This is #108 Blueberry Surprise




#120 Lilac Freeze over Blueberry Surprise:




There are some fun shades in the Colorama family ☺ These were packaged in three's. What's nice about that is that I'd occasionally get a color that I wouldn't have normally picked out...it makes me try new things ☺

I'll have more Colorama's later this week.
Thanks for looking!

Toma Vibrant with Colorama Ruby Rays

So today's NOTD is inspired by tonight's True Blood premier:

I picked up this Toma from a dusty last weekend, and I have nothing but raves for it. The formula and brush were awesome and application was a breeze. I topped it with Colorama's Ruby Rays, which is my favorite flakie color, especially when layered over a deep red. It flashes orange and green.


I think I need a Ruby Rays backup. I was eyeballing Nfu Oh 44, they seem similar to me. Does anyone have both? I think I need more flakies in my life!
