I didn't order on-line because it would take about week for them to get to me anyway, so i'll just wait two days and get them in person.
Before seeing them, my must-have list is:
-- Sweet Acting – Mid-tone pink
-- Blonde Streak – Light cream
-- Light Touch – W10
And my must-test list is:
-- Amethyst – Purple with silver undertone
-- Smoky – Deep silver blue
-- Blue Willow – Light icy blue
Since Blue Willow looks like a warm blue in the on-line photos, i'm leaning to it, but i did get Divine Extra Dimensional e/s from Glamour Days, so i need to compare them. And Smoky may be too dark and navy for me, so i have to see it.
And, what!?!? I'm on Team Purple and Amethyst is not on my must-have list?!?! Well, my purple eye-product box is near to exploding, so i have to see if Amethyst is significantly different from other purple eye shadows i have.
I'll be waiting outside my local MAC's door on Wednesday AM before they open... i pre-ordered a couple things each from Strength and Apres Chic, but now i want more MORE! So far what i want and didn't pre-order is not yet sold out on line... but there are two more days for other folks to shop on-line.
Sweet Acting was kind of boring - it doesn't read very pink when applied - looks nothing like the promo picture. It's almost exactly like Young Venus EDES. No need for it if you have that one.
Blonde Streak is a cool rosy beige color, while Flicker is more of warm champagne - more of what I think of as "cream" - it's too sheer to read yellow, at least on me. Light Touch is rather close to Blonde Streak, I'm not sure if folks will need both. One idea is get Blonde Streak for the sparklies, then get Ice MES from Apres Chic for a different smoother sparkle texture than the PPs - it's Light Touch without the glitter bits.
I don't own anything quite like Amethyst - it's pretty pale and sheer, but definitely reads light purple. It's one I'm getting for sure.
Smokey is another I'm getting for sure. It's one of the least sheer - looks like the blue grey from Marilyn, but with the PP texture. I'm glad I held out on the Marilyn one for it. It's going to look amazing with any red or pale pink lips.
Blue Willow is another very sheer one, but you can definitely see the warm pale blue, like a highlight of color over the lid - it's much easier to wear with my eye texture than many other light pale blues, including Divine, which I passed on, though it was kind of cute. Blue Willow's more interesting than that one to me, but I don't think most folks would need both, though Blue Willow'd be nice to layer over Divine - that'd be a great look.
My first buys on these are Smokey, Jet Couture (omg so beautiful), Amethyst and either Flicker or Blue Willow or both of 'em. I already have Deeply Dashing, which I wear every week.
