It doesn't have staying power on me, and the dents are from me digging, swirling patting and etc trying to make it work. LOL

Thanks! I always tell myself that I'm fine w/ just Superb and Glorify (and all the other highlighters in my collection) but yet I feel compelled to order it every time I see it online, haha. I hope I get it, but I guess don't world won't stop spinning if the order gets cancelled for the third time.

I'm 99% sure MP is in this house somewhere for my birthday (not until the end of the month) and I can hardly wait to try it.

Oh wow, I'm really sorry. At least you tried your best to order it.

Sweet Heat is really pretty foiled. I paired it with Modern Manderin blush and sheered out with How Beautiful BP. It was a perfect summer time no hassle look. (I was in a hurry). Paired it with Ever Hip lippy and I was good to go!

NBD! I have Superb and Glorify, which are both amazing and gorgeous in their own rights. Plus, now I have an extra $29 to budget towards HS or HC!

JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I AM 100% IN LOVE WITH EVERY SINGLE THING I HAVE BOUGHT FROM THIS COLLECTION!!!!!
So much so that I keep having fantasies of selling off all my other makeup to just focus on the glory that is this formula!!!!!! Superb is the first highlighter I have used and IMMEDIATELY fallen in love with, and it makes me want to swap away all my other MSFs to just stockpile like 10 Superbs instead. I mean, can it GET any better than that? It blows the doors off of Lightscapade, Perfect Topping, Guerlains Cruel Gardenia, etc. And the eyeshadows...HOLY SHIT! AMAZING!!!!! I have serious issues with shadow longevity (usually after 6 hours all that is ever left on my lids are the paint pots or bases I have laid down as a foundation) but with these shadows I can just slap them on over TFSI and after a full day the color is still there! ANd as a few have mentioned, the beauty of these shadows is their light reflectability, so the color in the crease will read with more depth and darkness than the same shadow on the lid, or on the brow, so you can use just one shadow to create....well......EXTRA DIMENSION.
Anyway, blah blah blah, I know it's all been said before, but honestly I am blown away by this formula and I love how inspired I am by these advances in makeup technology. KEEP IT COMING!
PS- Grand Galaxy is the crowning glory of this collection in my opinion

Then gave it some time to see if it would change as it does on my bare eye lids...
I did my eyes. First, Tarina Tarantino Pearl Glow eye primer. Then Blue Orbit on the whole lid from lashes to crease, the swirly mauve-pink side of Pink Union from crease to brow, and the blue side in the crease, then highlighted only under the outer edge of my brow with the frosty pale blue in Hint of Sapphire (from Semi-Precious), because the mauvy-pink was (a) too dark and (b) giving me a small amount of silver glitter fall out. Lined my eyes with MAC Smokey Heir liquid liner, and put on some mascara...
Follow up:
The color of Blue Orbit on my cheeks (over all that other makeup) pretty much stayed lavender blue all day.
But by the end of the day Blue Orbit on my eye lids completely DISAPPEARED, vanished, poof! All the other eye makeup held up. But there was not a hint of Blue Orbit remaining on my eyes, although it was still on my cheeks.
When i applied it wet it stayed longer, but after what i've read here, i'm hesitant to put a wet brush into the pan for fear of destroying it. What is the secret of getting it to stay? Do i need a special brush? a special lid primer? a special chant to say while putting it on?
Edit To Add:
I ordered Modern Pewter from the MAC (USA) website. I hope it holds up better than Blue Orbit...

Here's hoping.....it's not like we've seen more Mega Metal shadows ( though I guess some of the Pro Longwear ones are a bit similar texture).
I bet something like the EDSFs will come back at some point, but my gut feeling is telling me they're not something that'll be made perm. I just don't think they've got the technology dialed in perfectly yet for the lowest manufacturing costs, and that will hold things up more than anything else.

I'm in doubt too whether or not I should get that one.
