Beauty from the Earth’s Last to Know

I did buy this color from BFTE, I know that I did. But now it's gone from the website…???

Well, I guess it doesn't matter much, since I found out when I swatched this one that's it's nearly a dead ringer for TKB Trading's Mermaid's Gold, right down to the faint green iridescent shimmer. Last to Know adheres a bit better than TKB's color - which makes sense, because TKB colors are straight micas with no additives to help it apply more evenly or adhere longer.

Photos that show how the product actually performs...! See how I create my swatches

A montage of three images: top left, close-up of the eyeshadow in the pot; top right, the eyeshadow mixed with water and applied to bare skin; bottom left, the eyeshadow applied dry over primer.

I don't know what happened to this color, but I do know for sure that it was on the BFTE site at one point and I ordered three pots of it. (Possibly the new owner realized, a little late, that it was extremely similar to the BFTE color Mermaid, which carries the note on its page: “This is an unblended mica.” I don't recall seeing that note on Last to Know. I really wish that page was still up, I wouldn't feel as if I was losing my mind.

Oh, hey, Google Cache…

Text from this product page reads:

Last to Know is a multi-shift shadow. It's yellow, yet gold, yet a light lime green. You might even see a shift of peach too.

Contains: Mica, Iron Oxide, Magnesium Stearate and Silica.

Full-size 5 gram jar holds 1 to 3 grams of product, packed. Sample jar has .5 grams of product.

Ah, so it was a color that was released, I wasn't just losing my mind. On the upside, if you look at this swatch and really want this color in a version that has the adhesion-assisting ingredients mixed in, you can buy BFTE's Mermaid (which -=is=- still on the website) and you're all set.

Unless you really wanted those peach flashes mentioned in the Last to Know product description. I don't know that they'd be in Mermaid. (I haven't seen them in Last to Know. Then again, I haven't worn this out in the sunshine, so that may be when they're visible.)
