Heiress is described as pearlized finish..its a shimmery pink…believe me the shimmer is so much that it just would not go from my hands..it can be used as an highlighter and works great that way.
Aphrodite is described as matte..though its not completely matte..its a light purple color..
Both are new additions in their collection.

I had received both broken esp the Heiress and everyone had a similar complaint..coz these are very very soft in texture..I am going to use them as pigments now..they work fine…m yet to break them completely though//but I have transferred them in separate containers..I do not want to add rubbing alcohol otherwise could have fixed them..would try some time if I feel like.
Pros:
1. They have a buttery soft texture.
2. Very easy to blend.
3. Huge variety of colors to choose from.
4. Stay on well for 4-5 hours without a primer.
5. Pretty nice packaging…you can carry it along too.
6. Does not crease.
Cons:
1. Heiress is very shimmery and thats why there is fall out..the pearlized ones are not for daytime use.
2. They do not ship to India.

Vinita Jayant says
hey! you can press them back – There is a way!
cover a coin with a clean cloth
spray the powder with an astringent with high levels of alcohol and press into the container
When the alcohol evaporates your cakes will be good as new
