If you LOVE MAC's Golden Olive, then you MUST have this color. This is the most perfect companion to Golden Olive that I have ever seen. It is a great shading companion. Olive Branch is a dark color that is perfect with Golden Olive. The two of them together are amazing. The closest I have seen in any other line to this color is Milani's Loose Eye shimmer in Golden Green.

However, the three of them- Milani's Golden Green, MAC's Golden Olive, and Sweetscents Olive Branch make a fabulous trio. Used with White Gold (Sweetscents color) as a highlighter over MAC Fluidline in Frostlite, this is one of the most breathtaking looks of all of the pigments.

One of my favorite colors.

This pigment goes on a bit more thickly than either MAC's Golden Olive or Milani's Golden Green. Used with Mixing medium, you get that metallic looking intense effect you would get with MAC's Golden Olive. Next to each other on my skin, you would swear that they were both MAC colors (Golden Olive, and Olive Branch).

If this is your first sweetscents review....

If you want to check out these pigments, they are about $2 each for a 10g jar (MAC wants $18.50 for a 7.5g jar) and the quality is as good as MAC in most of the colors.

Some of the colors that I am reviewing are not on the site yet, it is supposed to be revamped soon. You can talk with the sweetscents lady via phone or email (it is on the site) and tell her that you read my review of the color if you do not see it on the site (she knows me by now since I ask endless questions- I am the artist capri) and that way she will not wonder how you knew about the color.

She will also help you find colors you might like if you tell her what you like or are looking for. That is how I found so many awesome colors. She is a pigment addicts DREAM!
