TPS is certainly covetous.
Months ago, she saw the lovely silver box holding 4 metallic shimmers (True Gold, White Gold, Sterling Silver and Platinum). She hadn't watched her DVD, but had heard about "foiling" from one of her dear friends who she'd bullied into buying the bareMinerals Get Started kit.
"Foiling", for those not in the know, is the wet application of a shimmer powder. Done correctly, it gives the effect of gold-leafing or silver-foiling your eyes. With the advent of the actual gold, silver and platinum shimmers, one could almost literally accomplish this.
The sister of TPS shamelessly indulges her, sending the Foiling Glimmers set as a birthday gift. TPS immediately began experimenting.
Applied dry, these colors are sheer and subtle and yet, for all their sheerness, last all day. Applied wet - YOWZA! The Platinum is so bright it looks like you've taped tinfoil to your eyes. (In a good way - not a preventing alien eyescan way.) The Sterling Silver allows for a more smoky eye look. TPS feels that the White Gold would be cartoony applied wet, but it's certainly gorgeous dry. True Gold, since TPS doesn't wear yellow gold on her person, was opened last of all. She was quite surprised at how flattering it was in its dry form. She is not at all interested in gold-leafing her eyes. Ever.
A tip:
No matter how tempting it is, do not dump a whole bunch of the powder into some water for a more opaque application. TPS found that as the "foil" dries, it gets very powdery and shakes off to sprinkling your whole eye area and your cheeks. Not hot. A small amount of powder mixed with a small amount of water gives the perfect "foil" look with no flaking.
