BB Couture Eve

Still no witty post titles, here is one of BB Couture's recent shades, Eve, from the Infamous Lovers collection. (She goes with Adam. In case you didn't know.)




I was all psyched when I first saw the bottle photo of this one. It had just been released the ay before and there were no blog reviews yet. I ordered it solely because if its looks on Kim of Overall Beauty. I mean, how can you go wrong with green, murkiness, glitter and shimmer?!

Well, although there's absolutely no wrong with this shade, I ended up not loving it like I had anticipated. It might just have been my general mood lately, or the lack of sun when I finally took this manicure for a walk outside, or... Maybe it just falls flat. Maybe more isn't always more. Maybe I'm actually a Scandinavian minimalist after all. Maybe all. Or maybe none of these suggestions really applies.

Honestly, it does look a bit like sparkly infant poo. Hmm.

I guess I'm not turning lesbian this time either. I still prefer men. Like Adam.

Swedish word of the day:
spädbarn -noun infant
I used to have one, but now she's a big girl...

  7. You captured it well. Sorry you don't like it. I haven't been able to wear mine because my new HR director frowns upon me wearing greens at work. :(

  14. Eve ligger oprovad i min låda. Jag hoppas jag kommer gilla henne men har känt mig osäker. Din närbild är ju underbar men jag förstår vad du menar med att hon inte riktigt lever upp till vad man hoppades på.

  16. I'm drooling on my keyboard! When I first saw this color I didn't like it, but NOW I love it! :)

  17. I get what you're saying about the color, and yet that blurred shot makes it so pretty, it does kind of remind me of a tainted apple for some reason.

  18. Collective reply this time; thanks to all of you girls, for obviously liking my work better than I do! If I can manage to make sparkly infant poo look THAT good in your opinion, I must be doing something right. :) Much welcome right now, let me tell you... Also, maybe you're all right and I'm wrong, maybe eve deserves a whole lot more love than I gave her! I think I might try her out as a pedi... next summer. LOL

  19. Wow. On your pictures it looks amazing, although I wasn't impressed by other swatches, so I don't know if I'll give it a try. Still, they should take your swatch to sell this polish, if I saw the colour on your blog only, I'd totally buy it.
