First of all, Baroque is quickly becoming one of my favorite brands.

To get the more boring things out of the way:

I just recently ordered during her 20% off sale on 1/05/15. Her TAT (turn around time) was at 12 days, which was within her 10-14 day window.

Now this order was huge, and by huge I mean huge. I ordered the entire collection option, two pressed palettes, and two custom colors. Due to the crazy amount of items, I will be only reviewing the palettes, January’s House Baroque color (COTM) and the custom colors, all of my other swatches will be available here once I get everything swatched.

A few weeks before the sale, I started seeing people getting the ‘Cozy Palette’ that she had sold. The colors looked so beautiful, I messaged her to see if she had any left. She didn’t but told me that she could remake it for me. I was so curious about it because I couldn’t really find any swatches of it.

So here is the cozy palette:

This palette is super amazing. (although it’s been so long since I’ve used pressed palettes, I’ve almost forgotten how. The color are so wonderfully wearable, and I can tell I will be using it frequently.

The other palette I received was a custom palette which I currently can’t swatch because it isn’t for me! However, it looks beautiful!

The bottom left shadow did break in transit, however that is no fault to her packaging. It was wrapped in bubble wrap, taped, then wrapped in more bubble wrap. I messaged Andi to let her know and she quickly explained how to fix the broken shade, and now it is like new!

Custom Colors (aka, a super Baroque rave):

Custom colors are 20$ each, and come with full size jar, with a custom name and label. I sent Andi and idea of my custom colors, here what I sent her:

Kaoshiung- (a city in Taiwan) pearl grey with red/gold sparkles (from far away, the buildings and roads look monotone, but when you get close up you find bright specks of color and vibrancy filtered through (the temples, signs, etc)

Vala Bala Mal Doran- purple with kickass shinies. Although, I am rethinking the color. (maybe a white with dark sparkles?) A color representing my wonderful puppy (that’s where the ‘bala’ came in, I tend to call her Vala Bala, and only use her whole name when she is in trouble) and a kickass member of the SG-1 team.

Luckily, Andi knew exactly who I was talking about with SG-1 so she only needed adorable pictures of my cute puppy.

After sending her these ideas she had additional questions for me regarding VBMD because I was pretty vague. She could do the purple but wanted to know what ‘shinies’ I wanted. So I went with pink(for VB’s tongue) and gold (for her eyes).

So, after all that, here is the color she came up with. I am astounded and amazed at how beautiful this color is. I love the little peeks of gold and pink that I get.

And my other custom Kaohsiung: This one absolutely blew me away. I love how well she took my ideas and really incorporated them into exactly what I wanted. I seriously cannot rave enough about how beautiful this color is. I am so disappointed I couldn’t get a picture that really showed off the gold/red sparkles because they really look amazing.

And last, this month’s House Baroque color: Masquerade

I love the look of this color. It is such an interesting silver/gold/antiqued look.
