Re: Strange Hybrid discussion

i also like this collection and i had my makeup done today during my lunch break. didn't have much time so i only bought fleurry, seedling, rose blanc, fertile, strange hybrid and prize petal. i plan to make a quad of fertile, rose blanc, seedling, and moonflower. same here, i am going back to get orchidazzle, flowerplay and moonflower, and maybe some slimshines that i didn't get to see. gosh this is addicting! i only got samples of the piggies, and i think provence is the lovelier of the two.

Re: Strange Hybrid discussion

i was excited about this collection but after seeing it i was not that impressed. the shadows [on me] look similar to ones i have bought before. however, i bought both pigments. they are both gorgeous and i will get much use out of these!

Tonight I got Moonflower, Strange Hybrid, Full Bloom, and Hothouse. Hothouse is the perfect gloss for Wild Bout You lipstick.

Re: Strange Hybrid discussion

By looking at a few of the swatch pics, Orchidazzle and Strange & Exotic lipsticks reminds me Martooni and Blueberry Fizz lipsticks from the Cocktails collection (2001). Does anyone have these that can confirm? Thanks!

I have all but Strange & Exotic. They're not similar in the tubes. Martooni is a pale purple IIRC and Orchidazzle is a deep purple. Blueberry Fizz is deep blue and Strange & Exotic is a deep wine colour.

I'm not sure about how similar they are when applied but my guess would be not very similar.

There are pics of Blueberry Fizz lipstick as well as a swatch on the lips if you look through the C-Shock thread. Once your there, type 'Blueberry' in the "Search this Thread" option and you should be able to find it

Re: Strange Hybrid discussion

I'm really loving the eyeshadows in this collection. Fertile and Moonflower are absolutely gorgeous!

I've seen a lot of FOTDs doing the Cultured look. I'd love to see someone rock the Strange & Exotic look (should I try it? ..... nahhh)

Re: Strange Hybrid discussion

IMO after Barbie i think "Strange Hybrid" is the best collection so far...
i got:
*petalpoint blush
*strange hybrid l/s + prize petal l/g = awesome together!!
*propagate l/s + first bloom l/g = same here!!!!
*rose blanc e/s
* floral fantasy e/s
*fertile e/s (i got this as B2M!!)
i also got "bare" slimshine... kinda dissapointed...

tomorrow i am going for more!!!! i was going to wait but.. why to wait if i'm gonna get them anyway??? duhh
i'll get:
* flowerplay l/s (as b2m!!!, yes i do have another 6 empty containers!)
* jardin aires pigment
*provence pigment
*fleurry blush!!!

--------i'm so happy ------

Re: Strange Hybrid discussion

do any of you know if "Rose Blanc" is at all similar to "Cloud Bound" from the pandamonium quad? i've been over-using cloudblund and rose blanc seems to be similar.

in the pan "Cloudbound" looks a lot lighter than "Rose Blanc".
"Rose Blanc" is more golden- yellow(ish?) however now that i swatched both in my hand... they are slightly different ..i'm nc30 for reference.

Re: Strange Hybrid discussion

I'm sorry if this has been asked, but I didnt feel like going through thirteen pages. >.<

Fertile e/s.. is there anything similar to it? I love the color from what I've seen.. but I'm wondering, is it close to grape pigment or mystical mist e/s?? Thanks!!!

Once applied, it was close to Shadowy Lady on me (NW15). It also looks like Nocturnelle + Contrast, or Grey Grape from Magenta Holiday '05. It also looks like BB Eggplant and Lancome Contrast. It is much darker and blacker than Mystical Mist. HTHS!

I think Rose Blanc is closest to Blurr from Teal Holiday 2005. Cloud Bound has irridescense, whereas Rose Blanc has frost. It is similar to Nylon and Lancome Filigree as well.

Re: Strange Hybrid discussion

I picked up Fertile and Jardin Aires today. JA is especially beautiful, it's kind of a coppery tan but goes on my skin as a golden flesh tone. I love it! It's my first pigment purchase and now I HAVE to buy more pigments.

I was waffling between Fertile and Nocturnelle but went for Fertile because it's LE. It's a gorgeous inky purple.

Re: Strange Hybrid discussion

after much debating, I decided not to get the either of the pigments. There was only a slight difference between dazzleray & jarin aires to really justify buying a whole jar. Provence is pretty but I already have darker neutral pigments that appear too light on my skin anyways and didn't think it was worth it.

I ended up getting moonflower e/s, orchidazzle l/s, and cultured l/g.
I was debating on Fertile, but I already have mystical mist and MA agreed that I could use a black e/s to get close to fertile so I passed. More money for C-shock! woohoo!!!

Re: Strange Hybrid discussion

I went in yesterday to look at the collection and didn't get as much as I thought I would. I liked orchidazzle and strange hybrid l/s, but I am just not a l/s girl. None of the l/g stuck out for me. The ones I did like were too similiar to ones I already have. I wanted to get both pigments but all they had was Provence. All they had was the Fluerry blush, and it was tempting, but I was worried it was too coral for me. The eyeshadows were very pretty. However Rose Blanc reminded me too much of cloudbound and seedling wasn't for me. The other 2 were stunning. I wanted to get moonflower, but I was afraid I wouldn't use it enough. I am not a huge blue e/s fan. Fertile was sold out, but I did love floral fantasy. So in the end I got Provence pigment and Floral Fantasy e/s. I talked myself out of getting more but that just means more money for moonbathe

Re: Strange Hybrid discussion

I opened up my small order today -- Moonflower, Seedling and Orchidazzle. I don't wear lipstick these days, but I wanted to have Orchidazzle just to hang onto because it looks so pretty Moonflower is a really beautiful blue, not bright or 80's, very wearable as far as blue eyeshadow goes. But I LOVE Seedling!!! This is the brow filler I've been looking for for ages!!! For anyone else with pale skin and medium golden-blonde hair, check it out. It is just perfect -- not too ashy, not too gold, not shimmery and not chalky.. it just melts right in Plus it goes great with French Grey on the eyes, too!! (French Grey is my go-to eyeliner, eye-definer these days).

I really think Seedling is the unsung hero of this collection.. there really is nothing else exactly like it in color or finish.

Re: Strange Hybrid discussion

so the collection finally arrived at my counter today. after much debating (i could tell the MUA was getting annoyed...) i just got the strange hybrid lipstick i planned on buying even though provence looked so much better live and the lipglasses prize petal and first bloom and moonflower E/S were also very tempting... but i got no money so i said no-no...

Not a MAC item, but Fertile is almost identical to UD's AC/DC (which I'm trying to swap away!) but with sparkles (which vary in staying power according to the person). I really should've checked that before I bought Fertile, but ah well.

So far I've gotten Fertile (duh), Hothouse l/g, Flowerplay l/s, and Moonflower e/s. I'm trying to use Purple Shower and Endless Love as subs for Floral Fantasy e/s, but I think FF is brighter than the other two, working with the collection better. Rose Blanc I keep telling myself is like Whistle or Cloudbound, but it's such a nice buttery yellow, which the other two are not. Seedling e/s still calls but I'm trying to ignore it... and the fotd's using Orchidazzle are pulling me towards it... but I want to hold out for Moonbathe & C-Shock, ack!

Provence is just OK. The other three that you mentioned are defintely better as provence is much more matte in comparison. In fact Rose Blanc is my new HG highlighter!

Re: Strange Hybrid discussion

Yeah it is pretty dark for spring, but I like it, esp. with Vino lip liner (a helpfully tip from a MAC MA).
