Another one purchased largely for completeness' sake, and because it was available in Mini size. (Let's hear it for OCD. Blah.) Soft mid-tan with a slight amount of gold shimmer (the manufacturer calls it sparkle; but I take issue with their definition.) Reminds me a bit of Bare Escentuals' Precious,...
Gotten largely for completeness' sake. (And I know companies love hearing that phrase from one of us rabid-avid collectors.) Driftwood is a nice, soft neutral matte. There's no shimmer whatsoever, and it's more golden than Cardamom or All Spice (two other brown mattes from Everyday Minerals).

This kit was released in a white compact, then discontinued about six months later; but the individual colors were still available through the online storefront. I don’t know why the kit was discontinued so quickly, other than the kit was all neutrals and EDM was still occasionally trying to...
Two months in a row I get to participate in Beauty Blogs' Backstage!! (Whenever there are an odd number of participants, I am the Person Without Partner...it does mean that I'm always free if someone has to be angeled that month because their partner has to drop out; but...
