SpaRitual Imagine Collection Fall 2010 Swatches & Review

SpaRitual Imagine Collection SpaRitual Imagine Collection Fall 2010 Swatches & Review

SpaRitual has a wonderful new collection for fall 2010 called Imagine.

“The six new inspiring shades represent a life filled with prosperity, wisdom, and creativity”.

  • Living in the Moment – Cashmere mauve creme
  • Endless Possibilities – Midnight plum creme
  • Unconditional Love - Peach shimmer
  • Health, Wealth & Happiness – Huey blue shimmer
  • A World of Compassion – Dusty periwinkle creme
  • Dreams Becoming Reality – Cool blue turquoise

One of my favorite things about SpaRitual is how environmentally friendly they are. Their polishes are Vegan, big-3 free and packaged in recycled bottles. I also love the rubberized caps, it really helps when you’ve got slippery lotion on your hands!

I love that this collection isn’t a bunch of colors you would expect in a fall collection. In fact quite a few of them seem more like spring colors. But they totally work anyway.

The formula cannot be overlooked here, these are really amazing, as most of their polishes are. They are so smooth, creamy and perfect! All of these covered completely in two coats.

SpaRitual Believe Collection for Spring 2010 Swatches and Review

Buenas dias!

More spring colors, whoo hoo! Can you feel the warmth in the air? Because I sure can’t…

Anyhoo, SpaRitual has a new spring 2010 collection called Believe, and I’ve got a few from them to share with you on this very fine day.

The formula on these was pretty good, though some were a wee bit thin, and needed three thickish coats for opacity.

There are six colors in the collection, and they each come with their own little charm wrapped around the bottle neck. The mantras on the charms say I Can, Hope, Believe, Love, Faith and Wish. Very cute!

SpaRitual Hope Springs Eternal SpaRitual Believe Collection for Spring 2010 Swatches and Review
Hope Springs Eternal

Hope Springs Eternal is a frosted, shimmery hot pink. This absolutely SCREAMS 1984 to me, but somehow, I still like it. The application on this one was really nice and it looked so good on me. But when I look at it, I imagine this is the kind of color that Madga from There’s Something About Mary would be wearing. Look below, she’s got a frosty pink on!  But I still like it. icon smile SpaRitual Believe Collection for Spring 2010 Swatches and Review

SpaRitual Forbidden Collection for Fall 2009

Hey Peeps, hope your week is going well and going by fast! Can you believe Labor Day weekend is right around the corner? I swear summer JUST started now we only have 3 weeks left until it’s over, le sigh.

Back to business. SpaRitual will soon be releasing a collection called Forbidden. These are all cremes, with one glorious exception. All are nice, serene colors that are fairly unique. The formula on SpaRitual is really great, though I usually do need three coats for complete opacity. Peep ‘em!

Spa Ritual Mystic SpaRitual Forbidden Collection for Fall 2009
Mystic

Mystic is a cafe latte colored creme. This isn’t a color I would normally go for but there is something different enough about it that makes it interesting to me. This was three coats.

Spa Ritual Cherish for Summer 2009

The Cherish collection for summer 2009 is my first experience with the Spa Ritual brand. I really like the bottle design, it’s unique and somehow very pleasing to hold. The bottle top has a “grippy” texture to it which makes the caps easy to open, especially when you have lotion slathered all over your hands. I didn’t have any application issues with these other than where mentioned below. Pics taken in sun with no top coat.
