Tick:Tock Cosmetics - More Swatches


More swatches from Black Friday purchases.  Tick:Tock Cosmetics.  The first and second are swatched over primer.  The third is swatched with water.  I like the look of the water swatches, but it's super time consuming.  Still trying to find a happy medium.


Sundial: a rich creamy yellow with gold sparkle and gold glitter  (Light Goldenrod)
NEW Big Ben: A bold blue with a beautiful red shift and sparkle! (Sapphire Blue) (I'm not sure if my sample is the before or after.  It needed more base, I think.)
Midsummer Night: a deep burgandy/purple with loads of red glitter and a light dusting of holographic glitter.
Leap Year: a light pastel yellow with gold and green glitter.  (Lemon Chiffon)



Oh-Nine-Hundred: an army green with green and gold shimmer and green glitter. (Pea Green)
Metronome: a pure shimmery white with loads of holographic glitter.
Sexy Time: a black based blue, full of shimmer and holographic glitter.
Expiration Date: A funky, fun color, it's greyish green with some red shimmer and sparkle. (Army Green)




Clepsydra: Greek for "Water Clock", this shade is a dark greenish blue with a whole bunch of purple shimmer and sparkle.
Frozen in Time: An icy blue with lots of blue shimmer and sparkle.  (Really pretty)
Cuckoo: a medium teal with light blue and purple shimmer.
Hourglass: orange with gold shimmer and orange glitter.

To be honest, I didn't find near as much glitter as the descriptions indicate.  I found a lot of "shimmer" but not enough glitter that I would say they were "full of glitter".  Some indicate more than one color of glitter and I really couldn't find that as evident either.


After having been spoiled with Grandfather Clock and Salvador Dali, I am just that, spoiled.  Never fear, I have MORE Tick:Tock to swatch.

The teeny tiny fine print: All opinions are my own. I did not beg, borrow or steal the products that I reviewed. I purchased them with my own lunch money. Honest and semi-coherent reviews are the way to make a distinction between great companies who hand-formulate their products and those who take mica - repackage it, slap an organic/all natural tag on their products and call themselves artisans. Honesty is my policy, even if I hurt a few feelings along the way.

Off Topic: No breast exam for you.

No Breast Exam For You
This issue is not about pro-life vs. pro-choice.  This is about access to healthcare regardless of income or circumstance.  As with any donation, you can earmark it for use based on your preference - your donation doesn't have to go to support things that do not align with your philosophy.

*I created this with a psp tube with no restrictions and a public domain pink ribbon.  You are free to use in any manner you would like - I only ask that you keep it relevant to breast cancer screening.
