1/21: The long awaited Opulent Lustre collection is here. A sister collection to our "Elemental Lustres" line, the Opulent collection contains all of the shades that you've asked for with the Lustre's amazing metallic effect, thanks to the addition of real metal powders to the formulation. This results in a breath-taking metallic finish and great pigmentation.
I was inspired to create this collection in Spring of 2008, when I saw the incredulously gorgeous photos by Patrick Demarchelier in the 2008 Pirelli calendar. Shot in China, these images can only be described as "eye candy"... you can't stop looking at them, the colors, the lush tones, the beauty. Link! Some of you had the chance to get sneak peak at this collection, when sample sets were offered as a prize in our October participation in the DonorsChoose.org blogger challenge. (Lucky ladies!)
Here are the Opulents... truly eye candy!

Imperial- Cool true purple that glides on with the Opulent's metallic lustre.
Lotus- Cerulean blue, silvery and smooth.
Camellia- Muted antique rose, rich with a silvery base.
Azalea- Heathered soft pink-lilac shadow, but vivid with metallic sheen.
Dragonfly- Luscious turquoise-teal shade, glimmering like the colors of a Dragonfly's wings.

Butterfly- Purplish blue that glides on like quicksilver.
Tamarind- Warm purple-mauve with the Opulent's liquid metal effect.

Cypress- Slightly heathered warm green with highlights of gold, but silvery smooth.
Bamboo- Warm tan, golden Opulent sheen.

Cloud- A rich indigo blue, metallic sheen.
Mandarin- Fresh verdant green with Opulent molten metal effect.
Jasmine- Peachy pink, warmer than Camellia, but with lush silvery tones.
Fig- Not your basic brown, this has hints of rose and gold, and is luscious and metallic when applied.
