After I did the swatches I was hoping that at least some of them would have some sparkle but all the sparkle disappeared once I put them on my eye. The sparkle in Locket did show up when I used it wet as a liner and maybe that will be true of some others. I agree though that you could probably find dupes for alomst all of these colours if you have a good size collection.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870233568955788441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388031067437078076.post-42014621163533527272011-10-30T15:20:13.416-05:002011-10-30T15:20:13.416-05:00I have to say only a couple of those colors (Spark...I have to say only a couple of those colors (Sparkling and Gleam) look like actual mattes in your swatches. All the others appear to range from sheens to shimmers. But none of them strike me as terribly original. The one that appeals the most to me is Locket.But even that one seems very similar to at least a couple other purples in my collection. I think I can safely pass on this kit, based on your review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
