I realized that I have many mmu samples that look similar in the bags so I made some comparison swatches. For some reason I tend to sample similar colors from many brands. I can't resist a beautiful purple color when I see one... LOL
I noticed that some of the colors where very similar to original micas from TKB Trading and Coastal Scents. It may not be very obvious from this picture but in IRL this was quite clear;
9. TKB - Patagonian Purple = 6. Taylor Made Minerals - Knockout,
10. TKB - Grape Pop = 4. Pure Luxe - Grape,
18. TKB - Black Amethyst = 15. Pure Luxe - Utopia.
My favorites turned out to be these;
5. Ocean Mist - Exotic Purple and 14. Aromaleigh - Still in Hollywood (warmer plummy tones)
7. Dreamworld Minerals - Bocan and 13. Archetype - Memento Mori (cooler blue based tones).
thanks for the swatches
(or should I say OH NO LEMMING!)
=)
I agree with your favorite, but TKB Black Amethyst is also super pretty from the pic...ah I adore purples.

Glad you liked them! I just love purples, and there are many more out there to explore... LOL
