Hi all! Today I have the new-ish Formula X Alchemy II to show you, along with a comparison to Formula X Alchemy.
Formula X Alchemy II is a predominantly copper polish with specks of blue, pink, and gold.
This is 2 coats plus top coat. Formula was pretty good, it did try pulling away from my tips a bit.
You can see how the base of Alchemy II is a rich coppery color while Alchemy is a more silvery base color.
Alchemy (on the right) has similar specks of blue and pink, but the formula on it was much thinner than Alchemy II – plus you can see how much it pulled away from my tips.
I was lucky enough to pick up the original Alchemy on clearance but I just loved Alchemy II so much to pick it up full price at Sephora. This is limited edition, so grab it while you can!
this is a neutral for you!
Thanks!
Its so pretty and very nice to see it compared to Alchemy too.
Those flecks don’t even look like a mainstream brand! I wished Formula X was a little cheaper because they do have some interesting shades.
I know! I find them a lot at discount stores but sometimes I don’t want to wait for the new pretty stuff!
I definitely like Alchemy II better, it’s so warm and coppery and fiery!
Right?? It’s like the original Alchemy is a sick version of Alchemy II. lol
I never got ny hands on alchemy, but I love the new one. Definitely picking it up!
My Sephora inside JCP had the original Alchemy next to the new one. Maybe you’ll get lucky!
I resisted the first one, but Alchemy II definitely needs to be part of my collection.
Yes, it does. haha!😀
I love these both but that copper is beautiful. I have been loving anything that leans towards gold and this is absolutely one of them.
I’ve been loving rose gold and copper tones lately, so I’m in agreement with you!
I think I need both of these. They are really pretty!
I love both! I picked up the first Alchemy on the secondary market since I missed it but was sure not to miss the second one.
