Dreammaker
Go

...as well as Verdigris from Metal-Urge from last Fall - Love this one.

I also found Thunder e/s from the Blue Storm Collection of '07.

They also had these, but were out of Star by Night :

Sunset B. - Frosty mid-tone pink
Talent Pool - Blue green with gold pearl
Mink & Sable - Olive green
Glamour Check! - Reddish brown
Top Hat - Dirty Indigo

They never got Smoke 'n' Diamonds though.

thunder and top hat=

get smoke & diamonds pronto!!!

oh the girls got ahold of one of my smoke & diamonds and another shadow and chewed it, popping the clear window thru to the shadow and putting a nice chunk in it. they were salvageable, but no bueno!

same here! 2 backups and a full SS! its one of my favorite piggies!

I bit the bullet and placed my order:

Smoke and Diamonds
One Off
Strike a Pose
Style Snob (ended up going for it - will swatch and return it or swap it if it's too similar on me to something else I already have, like Shale or Satin Taupe)
Tinted Moisturizer in Medium

I have Glamour Check! and Grand Entrance already from the CCO.

I ended up passing on the pearlglides. I suck at lining my lower lid, and usually just end up lining it while I'm doing my waterline. Since these aren't waterline safe, I'd probably rarely use them. Not a good investment for me. I'll wait for Feline in DSquared.

I managed to stay strong and not get Rated R. I have Bitter, and I can work with Bitter. Too poor for colors that similar, even if the finish is zillion times better!

[TISH1124]

Yeah I have had my pearlglides forever and I have used them 1x at most....I always just grab feline or Stila kohl liners..I don't do a lot of colored liners not sure why

[romi79_2008]

Rated R is screaming at me but I have bitter (never used it) and eyepopping(love and use it) so I don`t need it, right?

[monter]

^^^ I passed because I have Bitter. Rated R seems to be more pigmented and the finish seems to be nicer from the swatches I've seen, but if you already have both of those colors, I don't think you NEED it. It would just be a more convenient way to work with that color, I think.

(At least, that's how I reasoned it out with myself to get myself to skip it!)

I said earlier before - I have Bitter and Sharp - but Bitter is hard to work with I think. No colour payoff on me

Can't wait to get Rated "R" in Starflash finish!!

couldn't agree more about bitter! it's really hard work and when i do build the colour up enough it fades super quick! which is why i am so excited for rated r!

[bis]

Is the packaging for this collection the old one with the sticker or the new one with the print? TIA

THANK YOU! I am back in a size zero, although I prob should be in a 2 but I like to squeeze into the zero! Ah the joys of being a girl. I want to now start doing weight training to get the rest of the post college weight off... weight training is so much more effective than cardio for me. Well the both of them together is best!

Sorry off topic, back to eyeshadows...

I am not a morning person either. Yes, I agree weight training is the only way to actually take off the pounds, sculpt, tone. It kills at first, but now I'm up to 4 lb ankle weights & 4 lb ball. yep, they are def. the body game changer.

No matter how tired I am, I do my work out early evening.

I don't have eyepopping, but I do have the one from the Tempting quad. Not to enable or anything, but with the starflash texture, Rated R is amazing if you are a fan of the yellow-y green shadow.

[MissResha]

just got back from macy's.

bought:

Rated R
Dreammaker
Grand Entrance
Smoke & Diamonds
Glamour Check

[Sophia84]

And thus the reason that you look so amazing!

I recently joined a program offered where I work. It's a half hour class everyday, and it offers both cardio and strength training (if you go every day). I haven't been able to do anything since having my kids being so busy with them, but this way I can a little bit of exercise each day without it taking time away from the family (and it has actually stopped me from going to the mall on my lunch, haha!).

Back to appropriate topic... I'm really loving Ego! It is basically a hint of pink, but so glowy (instead of frosty)! I used it on the inner half of the lid, Style snob on the outer half and a bit of Strike a Pose on the outer v. I used the black pearlglide to line and then added SAP over it to make it a blackish teal colour.

I love Ego, but then I love pinks. This one is a forsty baby pink and I've used it the most out of the three eyeshadows I got from this collex so far (I got Ego, rated R and One Off). I think Ego is pretty pigmented and looks gorgeous on the lid or tear duct

[Miss Dynamite]

I love Ego, I wore it with Lotusland and Stars N Rockets in the crease. And I wear One Off in the crease with Aquavert on the lid. They are definitely the 2 prettiest colors from the collection, at least in my opinion.

[MissResha]

ego (for me) is so frosty it loses its color and just becomes...frost


might work better for others though

[pdtb050606]

I just have to add that I LOVE Glamour Check! Most browns look muddy and ugly on me..but not GC, it's the most gorgeous warm brownish-red color I have I can see using this a whole lot

[TISH1124]

I love Ego on me especially with S&D

[Sojourner]

It's out on the 6th Aug in the UK so I'm getting twitchy waiting for this collection...but it's good in a way, I get to think my purchases through with all the helpful pics and comparisons

that's why sometimes i'm thankful for the slight delay we have on releases. when it used to be a whole month that was too long for me to wait! but 2 weeks isn't so bad. gives enough time to read lots of reviews and see swatches posted by lovely specktra members!

[purplerinne]

I'm off on vacation next week and already packed Style Snob away...and I wanted a quick look that was similar to Style Snob...so I picked up Coco pigment and they are really similar! No wonder I like SS so much....I can use this instead of Coco since I only have a 1/2 jar left....YAY!!!!

[mely]

Style Snob and Smoke & Diamonds just came in today. I had to get s&d because of all the love it gets & I'm so glad I did! I paired it with Style Snob, vanilla, & yogurt.

[GunpowderPixi]

I gotta say I love that they came out with some really pretty colors this time,a couple from last year I didn't quite like the color payoff they gave,so the new ones are great!! today I'm wearing Talent Pool with Stars N Rockets

[GunpowderPixi]

That is soo pretty!!! I'm glad I bought these
