The promised swatches of my She Space haul - and my thoughts on some of the shades. I picked all these us during The She Space birthday sale where all the full sized jars were reduced to $2.50
From Left to Right:-
Line1: A Bit Naughty, Lucifers Chariot, Take The Cake, Acidic Reign
Line2: Slightly Insane, Smurfberry Blast, My Blue Heaven, Extra Caution
Line3: Hot For Chocolate, Asylum, Far Too Fabulous, No Scruples
Line4: Tear Jerk, Reap & Sew, Lucky Charm Swatches:
Line1: A Bit Naughty, Lucifers Chariot, Take The Cake, Acidic Reign Lucifers Chariot is more pink than orange as the swatch (or it could just be my monitor) is showing. I was a little disappointed with Take The Cake, the image on TSS made it appear a bit more like the pink Lucifers Chariot turned out to be.
Line2: Slightly Insane, Smurfberry Blast, My Blue Heaven, Extra Caution
All these are pretty true to their actual colours. Slightly Insane was NOT what i expected. The image at TSS and the dicription gave me the idea that it would be a bright, almost neon green. But as you can see its more pastel and quite sheer, i had to pack on a bit of the colour for it to show.
Extra Caution reminded me or a slightly paler version of Bali Mynah by Fyrinnae.
Line3: Hot For Chocolate, Asylum, Far Too Fabulous, No Scruples Asylum is actually a matte black with green glitter going through it, i just couldn't get my focus on it =(
Line4: Tear Jerk, Reap & Sew, Lucky Charm
These are also really sparkly on a dark base but once again i was having issues with the camera lol.
Reap & Sew is a Navy base with purple and green irridescet highlight and a but of different glitters all put together - can i say AMAZING?
Lucky Charm is the same as Asylum, but instead of green glitter there is purple.
Im a little torn by this brand. Some of the colours are really great and match their descriptions perfectly whereas others either dont match the descriptions or are more sheer than i would have expected them to be. I guess its all dependent on what you buy. The colour payoff is really nice and you get a fair bit of product. The jars are the same size as those of the Fyrinnae samples but these are packed in.
Have you bought anything from The She Space? What did you get? xx
i just got mine,will do swatches too !hahahhaha
ReplyDeleteu got so many btw !was it the ones on sale?hehe
hehe yeah - i couldn't resist (obviously) there were just too many
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see what you got!
I have such a humongous TSS collection! I generally get samples first, but I agree some of the colors don't exactly match their descriptions. Honestly though, the limited editions are where its at! She creates such beautiful, interesting, complex colors!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa, i will definatly start keeping an eye out for them.
