About Face Cosmetics at the She Space - Swatches

I know its been awhile in coming.  I had so many to swatch and play with.  I've definitely found a few winners and since there's a $2.50 sale going on, I'm going to take advantage of picking up a few faves.

First up, The Aries Collection




From left to right:
  1. BEAUTY BABE: Blue based red shimmer with fabulous crystal diamonds
  2. CRYPTIC WISDOM: intense cranberry red shimmer with a red iridescent haze and crystal diamonds
  3. DAREDEVIL DRAMA: Plummy rose red with a pink iridescent glow
  4. DEFLATED FOLLY: Shimmering plum raisin with an intense iridescent red haze and twinkling red diamonds
  5. KARMIC KISSES: Blazing raisin red with a hot red iridescent layer and flashes of crystal diamonds
  6. HOPELESSLY DEVOTED: Intense plum-red wine shimmer with twinkling crystal diamonds
  7. INTENDED BLISS: Fierce blushing blue based red with a red iridescent haze and subtle red sparkle
  8. LIVING WITH RAMS: Shimmering cocoa based red with lots of crystal diamonds
  9. PIONEERING SPIRIT: Delicious crushed rose petals and cinnamon with a copper and red iridescent haze and gold and crystal diamonds
  10. TACTICAL TYRANNY: Vivid iridescent red based cinnamon with twinkling gold and crystal diamonds
  11. TWO LEFT FEET: blazing iridescent red-orange with a serious copper and pink iridescent background
  12. SWEET INSPIRATION: Metallic iridescent rose with layers of copper and red iridescent pearl
There's a lot of red in this collection but that's okay with me.  The eye colors were vibrant but blendable.  I was less impressed with the blush.  Both shades were too light for me. Plus I didn't think they complemented the eye colors.

I definitely enjoyed playing with this.  Nice well rounded collection.  I wish I could afford the whole set.  Beautiful color pay off.

I will keep you updated on the colors I order.  They are closing for the holiday on December 24.

  1. Very nice colors. I always wanted to order from them. I'll soon, when I use up all the piggies I have just taking up space in makeup kit.

  2. Kimmy, they are changing to the shaker boxes in January so they are offering all the shadows for $2.50 until then. But the samples are generous too if you want to just try them.
