TheBodyNeeds


A while back I ordered some MAC samples from thebodyneeds2.com, and they asked me if I wanted to try some of their shadows too.
I got to pick 4 shadows from them, I picked three shades from their Blackened -collection, and one lighter shade.

The colors I got were: (L to R) Blackened Emerald, Blackened Turquoise, Blackened Violet, Juniper and Pixie Dust:

The blackened colors are pure awesomeness!

Blackened Violet:
Oh, PUPRLE! <3 I have a thing for purples, I know :3
This is just superpretty, dark, but when light hits it, it really stunning!
 Blackened Violet in inner and outer corner, Sugarpill Hysteric in the middle of the lid.



Blackened Emerald:
Once upon a time I searched for the perfect green (I'm still searching for the perfect red!), and thought that Pure Luxe's Pandora was the One. I've since accepted that there can be many perfect colors, but this is damn near perfection!

Blackened Emerald in both inner and outer corners, and Sugarpill Absinthe in the middle of the lid. MAC Undercurrent as a liner.


Blackened Turquoise:

Even though I love the purple and green, this is my favorite. This is pure awesomeness beyond all words.
I LOVE IT.

Blackened Turquoise in both inner and outer corners, Fyrinnae Sleepy Hollow in the middle of the lid, TBN Pixie Dust in the very inner corner.

Pixie Dust:

This is a really nice, gold-toned glitter. Can't be really used as a highlighter by itself, but it works really well over highlighters and darker shadows.

Juniper
This was my surprise color, rich turquoise with green/gold undertones. This looks really similar to Pure Luxe's Toy Boy, which is re-packed TKB mica, but the texture isn't quite the same, and this one is maybe a bit lighter than Toy Boy.



And last my MAC samples...
They weren't so special :S I don't know what I was expecting from MAC, but these were boring:

PS, still few days to enter my Illamasqua contest, if you haven't already!

    I placed my order within 4 minutes when I saw Blackened Turquoise. OMG this is so beautiful! However, I ordered the Crush Pot, because I prefer pressed shadows

    I've heard a little bit about The Body Needs but haven't really given them much thought. After seeing the Blackened Collection and the colors you posted, I think I need to give them a second look!

    OMG they're gorgeous!!!
    I should consider to place an order, but I'm afraid I'll have to face with custom hitches.
    Damned Italy!!

    I purchased all three of the shadows after I saw this post and I really love them. They're lovely over Pixie Epoxy. Blackened Emerald is also gorgeous without PE. Thanks for the recommendation!

    How does the application of these compare to Fyrinnae shadows? I have a tough time getting good wear out of Fyrinnae, but these seem so finely milled and soft.
