BB Couture Cleopatra

Okay, so first off, can we just sit for a minute and bask in the knowledge that Locavore will be returning to RBL's lineup at some point in the future? Ahh my heart is filed with exultation....I am truly the happiest of campers.  ^_____^


But in other news, this is the last day of Autism Awareness Week here at The Phalanges Files, and even though I didn't do alll the days in the week, I think it was pretty fun! To close it out, I decided to go with Cleopatra from BB Couture's Infamous Lovers Collection. 


Cleopatra is stuck somewhere between teal green and cerulean blue and features a fine azure blue shimmer. 

Sunlight, no flash.

Natural light, no flash.

     I like Cleopatra. The main color is beautiful, unusual, and will flatter many skin tones, and the shimmer is beautiful. The only thing with it is that I wish it were more complex. Cleopatra was such a fascinating and multi-faceted character, and a polish based on her should reflect that. This one definitely does not. 
   On the upside though, the formula on Cleopatra was good. It was smooth and controllable, and I only needed two coats for full opacity. 

And that's all for today! Thanks for reading, and have a great Monday! :D

Yay, team Locavore!

This is a really pretty blue. I'd buy more BBC if I could catch the sales better--I always seem to miss the announcements.

OMG I know right.
I just check their facebook page every day for sales.
But another thing is that I feel like their sales are not very good....it'll be like buy 5 get 1 free. What kind of sale is that? LOL.
The colour is hot. Really pretty, and looks fierce against your skin tone.

But there is one thing I just can't get past with this brand. Why are their bottles so downright hideous? I can't even explain it, they're just ugly. And I like pretty packaging :P

Thanks!
And reallyy?! You think their bottles are ugly? LOL, what's ugly about them? Do share...I've always thought they were okay. Better than Nicole by OPI at least.
I think they're big and ungainly! Plus the font and colour of the font aren't to my taste, the handle colour and shape isn't pretty, and it's just...eh. I don't like it :P

Nicole by OPI bottles aren't that good looking, either :P

Yay for Lovacore! I wasn't planning on buying any of the RBL BiB colours, so I cast my single vote for Lovacore (I thought it would be safest to just vote for 1, rather than increase the vote for another that may compete with top 3).

I also wish BBC would have a real sale. CMON GUYS, B5G1 is not funny :'(

lol, to be honest, I probably won't buy any of the bring it back colors either...I have the ones I want.
But just because they're awesome, I'm glad that they are back. :D

Ahahahaha omgg we need to write a petition! It's always so disappointing when they're like SALE, and I come running, and it's something like that.
It's like waking up a kid by yelling "IT'S CHRISTMAS" when it's actually not. Just cruel. :(
