Love Hues’ Sea Sprite

I was hoping for a little more duotone effect when I bought this one. It's an attractive enough color - a softish aqua or a deeper aqua-blue, depending on wet or dry application - and the pearl/shimmer finish is nice. But the color is not breathtakingly pigmented, nor is...

BareMinerals’ Buxom Courtney
