Shade Descriptions:
Magpie – looks blue in the jar, but when you put it on it pops out with the most amazing golden shimmer so it turns into a wild green.
Nebula – a deeper teal tone with turquoise glimmers.
Kingfisher – a navy base with aqua green highlights, and aqua glimmers
Nighthawk – matte black base with a golden pearl sheen
Flattery – illuminator with a hint of pink, and a few fine interference colors- mainly gold, blue and purple.
Phantom – a very light, almost sheer pearl pink with pearlescent golden highlights. Applied over Stick ‘Em primer it blooms to a soft golden peach glow.
Ether – a light lavender tone that blooms with purple and red highlights when applied over primer.
My Goodness – a gift with purchase shade, leans mauve in my eyes
Vamp – deep plum red lip stain
Jump – a neutral- leaning towards purple. It’s a great multi-purpose lid color with the color-shifting Eyelights finish.
Custom – a plummy tan with golden highlights that really pop when you apply it over primer.
4Matic – a light champagne color with just a hint of green. shimmery pearl
Heat – a deep coppery orange tone with a silky pearl finish.
Gigi – a pretty shockingly pink lip stain. One coat is a light pink, several coats is an almost neon pink.
Glory – a base of taupe with golden highlights- that’s punctuated with glints of green, copper, peach, and gold.
Fusion – a deep plum that when worn over primer becomes a something almost primal- and it pops with golden highlights.
Provoke – a deeper plum tone-much like Seedy or Berry Nice but with a little bit of lightness and coverage from a smidge of titanium dioxide. It’s the plum version of Blushberry, and my new Fall fave! It has a cream finish with no sparkle. Vegan & gluten free.
Captivate – a deep plum shimmer Amplifying Lip Glaze. It’s similar in depth to Black Dahlia, but with quite a bit more plum. It is a deep Fall color and suitable for most skin tones, although it is deep. Vegan & gluten free.
Allure – a warmer peach tone- sheerish with a hint of shimmer. Vegan & gluten free.

First off, now that you’ve seen the images, let me say that you need Glory. It’s AMAZING. It’s a super gorgeous, taupe with complex shimmer. It’s gorgeous. It screams fall. I think this shade may be close to universally flattering.

I also love Kingfisher, not that you’re surprised since it’s in the teal family. The navy base makes it interesting and I’m contemplating a smoky eye with it. Magpie borders on golden aqua, making it light and pretty. Nebula is a deeper, rich mid-tone shade.

Magpie would be neat if you took it and buffed it into your face/neck (sheering it out) to give the impression of mermaid scales/skin for Halloween.

Flattery is lovely and works as a highlighter shade in addition to being nice for illuminating the face. Ether and Phantom are amazing, they have this entrancing glow to them. I can’t wait to wear them. Vamp and Gigi are very pretty and have no shimmer. I’m going to experiment with putting them on after I’ve exfoliated and moisturized my lips to see how they turn out. I may then apply lipstick on top of them and see how well they work in conjunction.

I’m looking forward to playing with Fusion, Jump and Custom. The eyelights finish is so unique! I was surprised at how much I like the look of Heat, since I’m not much of an orange fan, though I do sometimes like copper. It reminds me of a harvest moon (not the game :P ) 4Matic is a nice golden shade. I also really like Nighthawk, as it reminds me of a deep charcoal with its golden pearly sheen. When I saw Provoke I squealed with delight. It’s a perfect plum for fall! Captivate is nice, as is Allure.

The colors are truly gorgeous. With all the variance in teals, golds, plums and neutrals, this collection gives you lots of options for the Fall season.

Some products were purchased by me. Others were sent for consideration. All opinions are my own.

    I really like how Custom looks. I think paired with Nighthawk it would make the perfect, sultry eye!
