And I just picked up the Orgasm/Hustler gloss duo and i love it. The brown end (hustler) is the perfect neutral gloss for me, and it doesn't have any shimmer or pearl, which sometimes I like. And the Orgasm Gloss on top gives it great dimension and is the perfect highlight for it. And Pearl Beach creme shadow is gorgeous as well, and their cream shadows dry to a satin, almost powder finish. Again, I have oily skin but their cream shadows don't crease on me.

I also have the Bohemian Gold duo, Boogie Nights lipgloss and Babe lipgloss, all of which are quite beautiful. And I'm trying out their foundation...so far I like it.

I can get two full sized mac shadows for 27 dollars, 20 if i buy pan refills. but they do have some pretty colors, I like Bohemian Gold duo, Misfit duo, Mediteranee Duo, Orgasm Gloss and I've been eye-ing Taj Mahal blush and Cactus Flower creme blush, but I can't wear cremeblush, i have oily skin

I don't think it's that expensive for a duo. $31, but it's 4g total, meaning 2g and $15.50 a pan. That's more than the 1.5g of Urban Decay ($16) and MAC ($14). Slightly more than MAC, but you get more product and the colours are so unique. The glitter in the shimmer shades are so small and packed!
