Buxom "Stay There" Eyeshadows--LE 4 Piece Collection

A while back, I reviewed Buxom's "Stay There" Eyeshadows. On a recent trip to Sephora, I saw that they had come up with a Limited Edition 4-Piece set. I was kinda mad because these aren't being sold separately and the set includes "Mutt" (which I already have) but I couldn't resist the pink and blue colors!

The colors are:
*Whippet (ice gold)
Mutt (bronze taupe)
*Pekingese (sparkling ocean)--this color REALLY does sparkle!
*Terrier (blushing violet)--this seems very similar to MAC's Star Violet, but this color has a nicer, frosty/sparkly sheen to it and leans more to a lavender color.
*=Limited Edition

The price was pretty great-$42 ($68 value) so if you're interested in at least three of the colors, I would recommend getting them since the original colors are $17 each. (Remember, these LE colors aren't available individually!) They also come in a cute black case that you could use to hold about 8 shadows if you remove the insert!

L to R: Pekingese, Mutt, Whippet, Terrier

After the break, see the swatches I did on the permanent colors:)

Buxom "Stay There" Eyeshadows

I had never tried Buxom products before, but the display for the "Stay There" eyeshadows caught my eye the other day. After swatching the "Husky" color...I fell in LOVE! Right now I have 8 shades and I feel the need to collect at least three more! These things are not only beautiful, but they're COOL! I can't define them as powders or creams...they're almost more like sponges! They just add another dimension to my other makeup products.

Like I said, they feel like a little sponge when you touch them...and only a slightswipe of the shadow will pick up more than enough product. The only thing I'm not too sure about is what will happen once you get towards the bottom of the jar, as I can see it being a bit difficult to dig out the product...we shall see!
