I was trying to avoid buying this colour since I have so many similar. As seen on this post, which I was trying to convince myself that I don't need it.
Side story
I walked to Eaton Centre after work one day and noticed that they renovated. It looks more like a high end department store. It was always a higher end department store compared to K-Mart, Zellars, Wal-Mart, etc, but The Bay really rebranded their stores to look more like American Department stores, like Lord & Taylor. Specially since The Bay carries L&T, so I'm not sure if there's a reason behind it. I don't know if The Bay was bought out but, that's another type of post that I'm not going to get into.
Anyway, The Bay in downtown Toronto (Queen and Yonge) carries Illamasqua now! This might be old news since I bought this out in September. Anyway, I was looking around the counter for Facet and I thought I found it and was confirmed after I looked at the bottom of the bottle. I had to buy it! It was C$17.00! Which is cheaper than Sephora's C$22.00. The thing is, Sephora did not carry Facet. I was pretty happy but I didn't wear this until now.
Thoughts
Facet is a chocolate colour with golden flakes. The golden flakes are really pretty and I'm so happy with the colour. The polish applied very easily. The chocolate base is like a chocolate milk colour. Compared to the polishes that I did my brown with gold shimmer post, Facet's gold shimmer/flakes are more apparent than those polishes in that post.
Basecoat: Seche Base
Colour layer: Illamasqua Facet (2 coats)
Topcoat: Seche Vite
Facet is still available online on The Bay for C$17.00.
