I have put up the whole collection -- alas, there is a sneaky mouse in my house -- an intern has apparently taken the black one -- and I have to wait till tomorrow for her to either return it or leave with her head chopped off.

if you want to see the whole collection, its on photobucket as I cannot post anything on this site.. don't know why now or what's going on with Spectra.

this is the link:

I wish I could now darlin, but alas, I have these from end of 2009, and they only came with SNs and no WNs... I myself cannot be sure which names have been given to the individual ES -- but that is the nature of my work.

I can tell you as I have stated before, that these FEEL like cream, go on like cream but are POWDER.. and the finish is amazing. There is no fallout, no sparkles and no dust -- the colours are tested dry. The effect when they are wet is spectacular.

Its ok and I understand its the nature of the beast lol. I appreciate the pictures and information greatly. I keep going back and forth on these I shadows first I want all the bright ones then the next I feel blah on them. With all of your professional expertise and immense knowledge what is your recommendation thus far are they a you really need to get them or are they a if you see a color you like get it but don't panic if you don't?

Do they get that ugly fill when you use them wet?

thank you sooooo muuuuuuuuch!!! i was getting worried there because those sad shadows next to the champale collex looked pretty bad. i wasn't going to get any, but now that i have seen the real mega metals, it's settled: 2x every shadow for me.

Thank-you so so so much Hergreyness! Do you mind if I use your pictures on my blog? I would of course credit you. (Thanks again for the pictures they look amazing!)

 

[tthelwell]

Thanks so much HerGreyness! I love and appreciate you so much! Just popping in to say that


I'm getting every single one of those eyeshadows! It will be my birthday collection!

 

[sss215]

I am going to be all over that red one!

 

[LMD84]

thanks so much for the pic... they need to be releaisng the red! it looks amazing!

 

[romi79_2008]

They are beautiful, thanks for the pictures

 

[rockin]

Thank you so much, Hergreyness - those shadows look amazing!

 

[gildedangel]

Thank you for the pictures HerGreyness!!! That red is seriously calling out to me, I have to have it! :drools:

 

[Eleentje]

Thank you so much for the photos, HerGreyness

 

[katred]

Ooooh!!!! Thank you so much HG!!! These are... truly drool-worthy. MUCH better photos than the others, as you can see both the true colour and the texture in detail. The pictures are kind of frightening, I have to say. Frightening in that I'm frightened at how many of them I want. In the photos where you have them swatched on your hands, I seriously want every single colour on your left hand. They look amazing!!! I also have to say that that golden orange colour continues to look exciting to me...

 

[laylalovesmac]

I still can't post the pics.

If anyone wants to look, it's in the HerGreyness photobucket ---

Layla, you who are young and more patient, can you put this up for me? TY

The insert image window grows longggggggggg and I cannot add the pics

I'm actually awful with this sort of stuff, but I'll give it a go.

 

[laylalovesmac]

I hope this works!!!! Without saving them to my computer (I felt weird doing that), I could only figure out how to get the thumbnails. At least you can actually see something in the thread. But, I would stick with your links because you can see them larger.

Oh and I'll also say that the coral pigment is getting purchased before its little plastic butt even touches the counter... (although I think that's from Stylishly yours... Whenever it comes out, I'm all over that baby)

yep... there are a few: the dark copper orange, the teal/turqoise one, the one called "dalliance" which is a light champagne beige undertones (can be used anywhere on the face and on lips too) , and the blackened red one.. these are quite unique. What makes these unique other than the colour is the texture.

no, they do not get rigidity when used wet.
