My Purple Obsession

I love purples! It may be because I feel it is the only color my boring brown eyes can work besides neutrals so I wanted to share my little collection with other purple lovers.

... Boohoo! I wanted to swatch the shadows using MAC Fix+ and I guess the bottle was broken when I received it in a swap as it spilled everywhere. Clumsy me! :*(

The swatches are without primer and all of them have excellent pigmentation. The pressed pigments have an unfair advantage of looking their best due to the glycerin component of pressed pigments.
My personal fave is deep purple. It is wonderful for a smokey purple look! I would love to add MAC sketch to my collection and if anyone knows of any other wonderful purple colors please let me know!

All items were purchased by me and I am in no way affiliated with any makeup company or organization.

  1. Ahhh I've been meaning to get that Coastal Scents Hot Pot since I found out that it was a MUFE dupe, what's the number?

  2. Hi! The hot pot is #CM07. The only problem with it is that it stains pink when you try to remove it so I highly recommend using a thick base. The MUFE #92 also stains pink from what I have read in reviews.

  3. I agree - purples are really pretty :) Especially for brown eyes. But when using deep purples, I always have to be careful not to make it look like I have a black eye!!! That's the worst. Thanks for the swatches - and also thanks for all those recommendations for my trip! I'm so excited.
