Last Sunday night I ordered from BFTE because I wanted the CotW. My order was promptly shipped the very next morning, as per usual BFTE procedure, but took abnormally long to arrive; I least I think it was abnormal, but then I'm not yet used to the postal system in this new town.
Anyway, my goodies arrived today and I was squeeing like a little kid on Christmas morning, lol. I took swatches right away so as not to lose the morning light. I think they turned out okay, though I'm still trying to figure out how to take macro shots that look as good as the ones I used to take with the old camera. (R.I.P.)
Here's what I got! (Remember to click the pics for large version!)
My other 365 prize Mutiny (middle) because I'd been wondering what sort of color it was, there's no pic on the site, but then I finally saw a swatch on Heather's blog and I had to have it! Tough Men Wear Pink was the CotW, and the reason I had to order. I saw someone post a look using this color with Autumn and it was simply stunning. |
You gotta see these swatches! I didn't edit them at all, only cropping. All swatches were done with small dry brushes on bare skin prepped with a tiny bit of Pond's cream, as usual. :)
(Btw, you can also view all my BFTE swatches in their album on my Makeup Fancy FB page!)
From left: Envy, Bombshell, Copper Cauldron, Mutiny, Dragon Slayer, Tough Men Wear Pink. |
Mutiny is very sparkly! Dragonslayer is smooth and super pigmented. Pink is silky and almost matte with a slight golden rub. |
Envy is lime green with gold sparkles, Bombshell is dark green with green sparkles; both are very sparkly. Copper Cauldron is a warm taupey brown with light shimmer, I love it!! |
Can you see the pink sparkles in Mutiny?? |
So there you go! There were a lot of pictures but I figured why not try to show the colors in every light from every angle so you really get a feel for them ;)
I just saw the new Color of the Week on the Facebook page and man... I want it, lol. Sadly though I can't afford any more makeup right now, so I guess it will have to wait until next time.
Thanks so much for reading!
