St. Tropez Weekend

Wish I could be at the place for real, but for now, this lovely color will do. I have searched far and wide for a copper shade that would suit me, and I didn't know I would end up loving an obscure mineral eyeshadow brand. Valerie Beauty is not a mainstream mineral cosmetics company, but it sure churns out beautiful mineral shadows that last. St. Tropez is the only coppery shade that suits my complexion, and the texture is fabulous as well. It came in a huge eyeshadow pan (it is not loose which I love), and best of all, it came from Valerie's Bargain Bin (a few bucks for a gorgeous color, what more can you ask for?). I love it applied wet because it really brings out the beautiful pigmentation, and it makes it last a long time, as well. As a sidenote, Lumiere's Driftwood eye shimmer is such a gorgeous crease shadow, both color and texture-wise. Lumiere's eye shimmers also have top-notch quality like Val's - amazing pigmentation and blendability.
