Happy Monday Everyone!! The weekends fly by so fast.. especially in the summer!! I hate to preview fall colors because I never want summer to end, but I really liked the look of these three colors from SpaRitual's Rock- Fall 2012 Collection.. Let's take a look..
SpaRitual Conglomerate:

Ok, so this one is totally reminding me of Afternoon Thunderstorm by Happy Hands that I just posted on Friday!! LOL.. kinda strange! Anyway, I like Afternoon Thunderstorm much better. Conglomerate looks really cool in the bottle, but the formula just plain sucks! The glitter is too gritty, the formula is too runny and the gold shimmer is barely even visible unless you're in direct sunlight. I really expected more from SpaRitual. I guess I'll cut them some slack since they don't make many glitters, but Conglomerate was a disappointment. :( Pictured above is three coats with a fast-dry topcoat.
SpaRitual Basalt:

Basalt is a deep charcoal grey cream with yet another runny formula!! Ugh.. I couldn't believe it!! Application was hard with Basalt because it was so thin! I like the final result and finish, but I don't use polishes just based on a nice color, the formula has to be decent too!
SpaRitual Lithophonic:

Come on Lithophonic, YOU gotta save this review!!.. Yes, I absolutely love Lithophonic!! I love browns and this one is really unique! Lithophonic has a golden/green shimmer.. it's more gold in the sun, and more of a green in natural light! The formula was fantastic with this one too. Pictured above is two flawless coats!! If you're a warm golden brown lover, I highly recommend Lithophonic this fall!!
There you have it..I like one out of the three I chose to purchase. I'm wondering how Slate, Quartz, and Marble (the remaining three left in this collection) compare?? Do you have any from SpaRitual's Rock- Fall 2012 Collection? What are your thoughts???
Have a great week!!
Conglomerate is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally bummed Conglomerate has a crappy formula; it's so unique! I might just have to grab it anyway...
ReplyDeleteHoly wow, Conglomerate is amazing!! Bummer that it doesn't have that great of a formula but I think I'm going to get it anyways!
ReplyDeleteThat sucks about Conglomerate! It looks really unique, so I was excited to see it, but the formula sounds super disappointing.
ReplyDelete"Maybe" I got a "bad bottle"?? It really was a disappointment. You can see the balding and the grittiness even after a thick top coat :(
DeleteI think it's supposed to look and feel like gritty rock - hence the name of the collection.
DeleteYes, I'm aware of the name, but it's entirely too gritty and the runny formula ruined it for me. Believe me, I wanted to like it! :)
DeleteThanks for posting these! I'm trying to decide which ones to purchase! xo
