Persephone Minerals participated in the Black Friday bonanza. I couldn't resist purchasing some samples to try. In addition to the Christmas LE colors, I also ordered several other samples. As anyone who purchases from Persephone will tell you, her stuff is just amazing. It's always pleasing when swatching isn't hard work. The colors glide on, the glitter is well placed - and the essence of the shade is easily captured.
Mars Crystal Power -Inspired by the pink & gold crystal power wands and the transformation sequence of Sailor Mars. This is one hell of a duochrome shift from bright red to gold, chock full of pink and gold sparkle! It looks like a pinkish color in the jar, but do not let that fool you!
Super Sailor Moon -Inspired by both the transformation sequence & the costume itself. This is sort of white with a touch of yellow to it, topped of with red, blue and yellow crystalina glitters ;)
Eternal Sailor Moon- When dry this will shift a slight bit towards white, but when foiled like this it stays more of a paler gold. It is perfected by the touch of yellow and pink crystalina glitters.
Moon Cosmic Power - A coppery/pink/gold shift filled with teeny sparkles of aqua & pink! Inspired by....okay I think I'm sounding redundant, no? The name says it all!
Moon Crystal Power- A shift from pink to gold, leaning more on the pink side when foiled. I'm sure you already guessed the inspiration for this :) This also has a little dose of red & white crystalina glitters.
Buttercream Bliss - This is a buttery, creamy decadance topped with gold sparkle.
Withering Roses is a light dusty rose pink with a bit of an almost coppery-coral glow to it. Can make a great blush or highlight as well :D
Rained is a deeper, lovely earthy brown with almost a purple tinge to it. It is super sparkly! The sparkles in this one are tricky ;) Depending on the angle, they can appear either pink or blue-violet.
Magick Brownie -A super shimmery shift from chocolate brown to herbal green to almost a grey color. A very complex color.
Prosirpine- the Roman name for Persephone. This is really the surprise of the group, the shift from teal to purple is amazing depending on the light.
My full size purchases will definitely include Prosirpine, Buttercream Bliss, Moon Crystal Power and Eternal Sailor Moon. Really all of the shades are complex and really different.
