No I don't think they are similar. Conjure Up is darker and more plum (I feel that Gentle is more similar to the mauve spectrum).

i got conjure up too, but have to be SO light with it, otherwise i look like ive been for a run, but not in a good way!

Conjure Up didn't look as good on me as SDN did; it actually looked very artificial on my face.

Cheers to Devil May Care and Blue Sorcery, they're my faves too.

Could someone, please show the blushes on cheeks? I`m pretty sure I`ll buy sdn but you make me want conjure up to and it`s not such a bad idea cause I have nothing in this family, but is this the one?
Nice hauls every1, the es are really beautiful but paying 20$ for just 1 color , they don`t convince me, the style black one were really special, and I really like midnight madness but why, why did they have to screw it with that glitter part?

I would worship anyone who did this forever. I would love to see cheeky swatches of the blushes, no matter what skintone or if you have just the one or both of these.

I am still sticking to my lipstick and lipglass no-buy.

I'm so proud of you.

Enjoy your blushes!

GET IT!
It's soo good just be careful when applying, I used a heavy hand, and I was looking crazy!!
I'm wearing it now with Blue Sorcery, and Smoke and Diamonds, with Plumage in the outer V.... pure goodness
The blush just makes it all come 2gether :P ( this pic DOES NOT do my eyeshado justice)

again, this was taken on my webcam, omg when I come home from school I need to buy some batteries for my camera, but just so ppl can know what C.U looks like ( NW45) I realized after putting on the makeup it might be too much for an Anatomy and Physiology class lol
off to school now

[Aphrael]

^Gorgeous makeup! The blush looks good on you! Thanks for the idea with Blue Sorcery! I might try that combo too! I tried on Blue Sorcery yesterday with Black Tied on the outer V and I liked it!

[MsWestchesterNY]

thank u! I actually tried it with a black eyeshadow, I felt it took away from the blue to much, so I was thinking of a darker blue, I almost forgot I even had plumage, try it! It's looks so yummy in real life I also added Delft ( sp?) paint pot with it....
make sure u used a base cuz some of the shadow faded that I blended into my crease by the time I got here to school, but then again, maybe it's jusy me, because I don't usually put a base on my crease, just the lids

[nunu]

I have a few questions;

Is It's a Miracle a must have? I have plum dressing, nocturnelle and other purple/plumish eyshadows. When i swatched it, it was nice and very smooth but i couldn't justify buying it when i have lots of purples.

Same goes to Blue Sorcey; I have Parrot and Talent pool. But it's a nice blue...What do you guys think?

I didn't want to get Unfer your spell but when i swatched it, it was beautiful..should i go for it??

I would appreciate any of your responses girls!

Face2mac did you get any of the eye palettes?

My first thought was yes to BC, no to MM, I have both. But now that I think on it, it's not a blue that is 'normal' ( don't really like the word normal) that someone would wear all the time. I mean I dont think Parrot looks exactly like BC, but if you had to get one or the other, I'd say MM
HTH

Thanks for the birthday greeting Face2Mac!! I agree Lou. I'm going to order both Superdupernatural and Conjure Up MBs next week if it's still online.

yeah it's always best to wait a while.... that way i know i really want it! alot of the time i'll wait a week and not be bothered about getting a product so much anymore! although i get the feeling i will want cunjure up! i wore sdn today - looked fabulous! and a shimpagne arrived in the post so i used that as a highlighter with it and it looked awesome!

[Swirlgirl]

I've been trying to wait a little bit on my purchases too -until some of the initial excitement of a new collection dies down.

Nunu, I don't find MM to be overly purplish...it's more of a taupe-brown-purple. Darker and cooler in tone than Satin Taupe. It was one of the real standouts to me, personally. I think it is different from the ones you listed...You can probably skip It's a Miracle though.

I am eying up Mayhem....it looks like such a rich golden color with that buttery texture, but I am still on the fence...I have Amber Lights and Woodwinked. I don't know. What do you girls think of Mayhem? Is it a must?

I'm now tempted to get Shimpagne MSF!! Even thought it would be better if they released it by itself instead of paying $59.50USD to get one MSF, one MB, one MES and the 181SE brush. Although I will wait and will get it next week for sure!

[dreamer246]

^^ I have Shimpagne (dome slightly flattened but still lots of product left; in excellent condition), it's up for sale/swap. Interested? Just PM me, maybe we can work something out.

I keep thinking about SDN blush. Damnit, why must it cost so much, I really really want it.

Oh and SDN blush goes really well with Blue Sorcery e/s (mixed with a bit of Devil May Care and It's A Miracle).

[Babylard]

SDN looks really good with soft eyes and orangey lipstick such as ravishing. ill will try to post something if i have time.

[clslvr6spd]

^^I agree. I wore SDN with Honesty, Texture, Sketch, Carbon & Quarry today, it looked amazing with SDN.

[MsWestchesterNY]

I just want the box the Mineralized Kit comes in

Nora, I really hate to enable, but I do have Parrot, but skipped Talent Pool, and my favourite tealish blue is now Blue Sorcery. It's just so smooth and perhaps not quite as bright of a blue as Parrot? Though I didn't do a side by side comparison. But every time I've used Parrot I haven't quite felt comfortable with it on my lids, but I adored Blue Sorcery.

I don't think any eyeshadow is a must have, but Mayhem is really pretty if you like those antique-y gold colours. It shows up more on my lids than Woodwinked, and it is definitely more of a brown gold than Amber Lights. I didn't even think of Amber Lights when I purchased it, but the comparison to Woodwinked did enter my mind.

I think I may cave and get Midnight Madness. Maybe I'll convince DH to get it for my birthday, since I'm on supposed to be on a no-buy!

[dreamer246]

^^ Blue Sorcery is AMAZING. I couldn't stop staring at it when I got my MA to put it on for me at the counter.

Seems like many people are on a no-buy right now. As for me, I'm on a restricted-buy, coz I can't bring myself to abstain from MAC completely.

Nunu, it's interesting that you see MM as a purple shadow....it seems like even on makeupalley a lot of the reviewers made the comment that it's a nice purple shadow but truthfully I see no purple in it at all. Maybe it depends on your skin tone? The only colours I see in this shadow is mixture of dark brown, taupe & dark grey but of course that's only my opinion! I think the important thing is for you to decide if you're very attracted to this shadow and if you see it as a unique colour. If you see enough resemblance between MM and a few eye shadows you own then I would recommend you to skip it because at the end of the day it doesn't matter if other people see MM as a unique shade if it's not unique in your eyes.

I don't know if I would consider MM as the most beautiful shade out of the 3 you mentioned (what's a beautiful colour is very subjective so that's for you to decide) but IMO it's the most unique shade out of the bunch.

Its purple on me

i managed to get mine in the clearence bin here because i didn't want the other bits from the kit. it was below retail and the dome is only just begining to flattern so i was happy. i bet it'd look even better on darker skin tones! it's the first highlighter that i've used that's not a pearly colour! but think it's great for peachy blushes

Oooooppps thank you for pointing that out!! Actually i bought MM and it's the brownish taupey colour! I meant It's A Miracle!!

I will amend my post.

[Princesa Livia]

I loove Mayhem eyeshadow. Its so unlike any of the gold-toned eyeshadows I have! Its so pigmented and it swatches beautifully. Here it is vs other eyeshadows:



Mayhem vs Elite, Goldmine, Bronze, Woodwinked, Henna

Hope this helps
