Beautiful Pigments: Lily Lolo "Golden Lilac"

There isn't a great deal of choice for UK based mineral make up websites, but it is getting better! Lily Lolo was one of the first ones I found. I tried foundation from them before any pigments and I love the foundation (mine is nearly empty now so I must repurchase). They've got a fairly good selection of eye shadows but I don't think they've released any new ones for a while.

The eye shadow pigments come in larger jars than usual. These are i the 10g jar size, rather than the 5g size. They're not packed full like the Sweetscents micas (which are also in 10g jars), these have a sifter.

The eye shadow pigments are sold for £5.00 each, I don't think they do samples for them any longer but you can still buy foundation samples.


One of my favourite pigments from Lily Lolo, and one of my favourite in my collection, is called "Golden Lilac". It's a beautiful lilac shade with very intense golden shimmer. I've not really come across anything else that's quite like this one.

On the picture, as always, the left swatch is patted dry onto primer and the right is applied with a damp cotton bud. I normally apply this with a damp brush to my lid to bring out the amazing shimmer this pigment has.

  4. This is the very first thing I bought from Lily Lolo, I knew it would have looked very pretty from the picture on the website, and it does. Actually I'd love to see one of your looks done with this pigment some day you're inspired! ;)
    Thanks for sharing, ciao!

  5. Hi :)
    So is the foundation worth buying, I've been pondering over whether to get it or not. Just wondering!
    Also would buy some mineral eyeshadows as the pigmentation looks great.
    Thanks xx
