Nice Vice Come Back Through Estee Lauder Side?

[NeonKitty]

Ok I went down today and swatched them.

Golden Apricot = Rubinesque but Golden Apricot has way better colour payoff! I was surprised.
Vintage Violet = Looks like Nice Vice but swatches identical to Artifact
Sea Mist = Rollickin but slightly more aqua
Pink Blush = not Girl Friendly, is a little more yellow but beautiful in it's own right.
Blue Velvet = Almost black, difficult to discern the blue when swatched.
Silver Leaf = OMG this is a must have!! I bought it, such a beautiful shimmery silver, i swatched it against all the silver/black/brown silvers at mac and no match, gorgeous!
Lilac Petals is very pretty, bought this one also.

I found all of them to have good colour payoff, and some better than the MAc paint pots. They were all very creamy and went on well.

The black pearl double wear shadestick = Sharkskin, absolutley.

I swatched a bunch of their powder shadows too and was disappointed in the colour payoffs of most of them. The Pure Colour shade Moca cup is a good match to the Silver Leaf "paint pot", they looked gorgeous together.

I also bought the Bronze Goddess SunBlush Illuminator Compact. This was such a pretty peach colour when swatched, it will make an excellent blusher.

It was bonus time too, so i got lots of free goods!

Karen does a great overview + swatches on the ShadowCremes on her blog, and makes a few comparisons with the Paint Pots.

I was at Bloomingdales today, they had the GWP, but looked at me like I was crazy for suggesting that they had these shadowcremes. The flagship store in Manhattan for god's sake...Makes me mad.

I had this problem when I went to a different counter to pick up the golden apricot and sea mist. They didn't know wtf I was talking about, and when they figured it out, they were unable to associate the product names with the colours. To top it off, I asked for some qtips/applicators to swatch with and she gave me ONE qtip. The two women spent the rest of the time checking themselves out in the mirror.

Both of those are doing Clinique's GWP. Belk.com is doing the Estee Lauder GWP.

I think you might have to give them this:
Oh and thanks for the great descriptions, I'm printing it out and bringing it with me.

Macy's does carry these. Macy's is offering free shipping and a gift with a $50.00 purchase. http://www.specktra.net/forum/f224/m...rchase-137655/.

I wonder if their Shadow Sticks are Shadestick twins. They have one called Black Pearl that interests me. Too bad they dont list the ingredients but it only makes sense.

Double Wear - - - Double Wear Stay-in-Place ShadowStick — Estée Lauder Official Site

EL gold pearl = Mac beige-ing
EL golden peach = Mac butternutty
EL Rose chrome = Mac pink couture
EL Sand Shimmer = Shimmersand

These look a lot a like to me.
