Concrete next to Mystic Lilac

Here is Concrete, sitting on some actual concrete.
It's definitely got a lavender/grey thing going on. Very pretty. I could have sworn SH already had this color out and it was more putty colored, but it's included in the LE display in stores now and it looks like this. I found them at Rite Aid BOGO free.




This is concrete and mystic lilac side by side. Mystic lilac has a really pretty teal-green shimmer to it and it a slightly less grey lavender, if that makes sense.



Mystic Lavender





This is very sheer. It took maybe 4-5 coats to be opaque.



I wanted to love it, but once I had it on and wore it for a day or so, I didn't really like how it looked with my skin tone, and I almost never say that about any color. It's still a really interesting addition to my colection though.

  1. SH has/had _Wet_ Concrete in the same line. To my eye, Wet Concrete is more true gray, no mauve undertones.
