Okay. So here’s the thing: I [usually] love red. And I love violet. 

So why don’t I totally love this promo?

A quick dissection:

Love… the violet shadow (Violet Vibe, perhaps?) and the lip colour
Dislike… the red shadow and the cheeks

But I digress. I actually wanted to post about the infraRED collection today to express disbelief about the Glitterama liner included in the collection! I have (and love) Plutonium, so of course I had to swatch the violet confection in the infraRED display. (Unfortunately, I wasn’t tempted by any of the other items in the display… or perhaps that should actually read “fortunately”!)

One word: incredible. The liner was Disco Inferno, and may I just say — the stock photo on the Annabelle site? So does not do it justice. It’s full of gorgeous violet and silver glitter, if my memory serves me well, and it’s just mind-blowingly gorgeous.

At which point all the bells went off in my head to remind me that I’m on a low-buy, and I just picked up some violet glitter. So I left Shopper’s without it.


(But damn, it was hard to do!)
