(CONCERNING BLUE ORBIT and CORNFLOWER)

I played with both of them together last night- honestly Cornflower pigment has a bit more oomph than Blue Orbit does, but on the surface, they look identical- except the pigment has a touch more shine. Get another color if you already have Cornflower. And Helium or Pink Opal look very close to Young Venus.

Good to know! I have cornflower and honestly I don't think I'll need to go back for another one any time soon, so I can probably safely pass on B.O.

Quote: I played with Grand Galaxy last night.  I really loved it.  It was very pigmented.  I used my big fluffy #227 brush because I usually like a sheer wash of color on the lid but I got the same amount of color I usually get with a more compact brush head.  The color was vibrant.  I don't know how to describe the finish.  It looked like I had applied it wet but I didn't.  It was like it was opaque but with a sheer effect.  I know that doesn't make sense so I can't wait for more people to get the products and weigh in on the finish.  I did try Dark Dare in the crease and I didn't like the way that looked.  It just sort of washed out the color in the outer corner without adding anything to the look.  I thought to wet it but I didn't.  Dark Dare might work better for the lid or crease than outer corner.  I have to play around with Dark Dare next.  I also used Restores Dazzle Creme Blush and Narcissus cremesheen glass.  I liked the look and may wear it tomorrow.  I can't wait to get my hands on more of these shadows.  I think the finish will be great for summer.

Oh no, I wish I did not read this... ompom:

I definitely will be getting all 10, 3 WOG, 3 Superb and 1 Glorify. BUT I'm a bit of a nut when it comes to collections I like. Peacocky and Semi- Precious I purchased every product and got a couple of back- ups of some of them as well.

 

[Babylard]

is dark dare worth getting if you have a bunch of other black eyeshadows in various palettes? D;

If you like buttery formulas, then yes. It's very easy to blend, though it is far less metallic than the other ED e/s.

Thanks, lipglass_junkie for the heads up on the Tres Cheek thread. ED stuff is listed under their respective product categories on the MAC site!

 

[NinaHouston]

[Piarpreet]

Made my order and now I have to cover my eyes until summer. Hopefully I don't see anything else i think I can't live without.

Oh all the things I wanted came to at least 200 I just decided I would get the things I wanted most and get some more (if there are any left) on payday. My wedding dress payment that I just made really cut into my makeup spending! And By Request is likely to come out right before I get married, so I have to get used to cutting back I suppose.

 

[duckrodeo]

Allllll right, I gave in and ordered Modern Pewter. Not too bad, but now I'm going to get two MAC boxes with one item each lol. Modern Mandarin is in the other box.

I wish I wanted more of the eyeshadows because the formula is amazing, but I could think of at least one other shade I already own when looking through the colors. Young Venus is really pretty and would be a good highlighter for under the brow, but I have oodles of highlighters already.
