Swatch of the Day: Pure Luxe Chocomint

Brand: Pure Luxe

Shade: Chocomint

Cost: $1.00 for 1/8 teaspoon sample,$5.00 for 5g jar, $9.50 for 10g jar

Where to get: Here

Official Bulb: Medium brown with a mint green interference.

My thoughts: This is one of the most unique colors I've ever seen. It truly is both a light coppery brown AND a minty green at the same time. The pictures DO NOT capture this one very well at all. In the artificial light one you can see a hint of mint green, but in real light it is much more noticeable and shiny bright. It's like you are seeing 2 layers at once, as the mint green is not just a sparkle or glitter but almost looks like it is foiled on top of the brown. The name is a wonderful descriptor! I struggle to use it a little because it's just so unusual, but it's just so one of a kind!

Swatch of the Day: Pure Luxe Chocolate Blueberries

Brand: Pure Luxe

Shade: Chocolate Bluberries

Cost: $1.00 for 1/8 teaspoon sample,$5.00 for 5g jar, $9.50 for 10g jar

Where to get: Here

Official Bulb: Muted brown base with blue interference.

My thoughts: Muted it right. Of the chocolates I own this is the dullest and least intense. The color is a bit drab and sort of a greyish washed out purple. It might be good for a conservative neutral but I find it boring.

Swatch of the Day: Pure Luxe Chocolate Grapes

Brand: Pure Luxe

Shade: Chocolate Grapes

Cost: $1.00 for 1/8 teaspoon sample,$5.00 for 5g jar, $9.50 for 10g jar

Where to get: Here

Official Bulb: Medium brown base with violet/purple interference.

My thoughts: This shade seems the least 'chocolate' to me. The brown is pretty much gone and light lavender color is much more predominate. Sunlight or with flash capture the color well. If anything I would describe it as a light silvery violet color with a very light reddish amber undertone. Still a wonderful color, good for spring, but not your traditional lavender.

Swatch of the Day: Pure Luxe Chocolate Cherries

Brand: Pure Luxe

Shade: Chocolate Cherries

Cost: $1.00 for 1/8 teaspoon sample,$5.00 for 5g jar, $9.50 for 10g jar

Where to get: Here

Official Bulb: Medium brown base with reddish/pink interference.

My thoughts: I love this shade. It's a slighter darker brown than the Chocolate Orange with a reddish overtone. The with flash picture is the most accurate. Slight shimmer and good for lid or crease. I find it a pretty unique twist on brown and would get it again.

Swatch of the Day: Pure Luxe Chocolate Oranges

Brand: Pure Luxe

Shade: Chocolate Oranges

Cost: $1.00 for 1/8 teaspoon sample,$5.00 for 5g jar, $9.50 for 10g jar

Where to get: Here

Official Bulb: Medium brown base with subtle orange interference and orange/copper glimmers.

My thoughts: The site description is pretty dead on accurate here. I don't have much to add. This was my first color of the chocolates and it got me hooked and coming back for more. It's very easy and wearable and a good light brown color to have in your collection. Sometimes the orange almost looks coppery, but I love it. Pretty and subtle. The photo with flash is the most accurate in my opinion.

Upcoming Swatches of the Week: Chocolate!

No swatches today and this week I only have 5 for you instead of 7. I want to try to get onto a different schedule, starting Mondays and going till Sunday and have the summary post on Sunday. But don't worry, this week is totally worth it as I'm swatching Pure Luxe's Chocolate Shadows. Yummy. It's nice collection with fun and appropriate names :D. And for those of you who aren't fans of Pure Luxe, don't worry, next week I'm going to switch it up and try some different brands for you.
