I've been lightly stalking but nothing yet.Where's the man candy?? Are we not stalking?
Maybe Expensive Pink??I think I am going to look into if there are any perm items like artistic license....I can't decide between it and deep fixation...
yes I think that is the one I was thinking of that is similar. That one was already on my wishlist of perm itemsMaybe Expensive Pink??
It gives you more time. Melon pigment would work too.yes I think that is the one I was thinking of that is similar. That one was already on my wishlist of perm itemsMaybe Expensive Pink??so it's easy to want to get one or the other, but maybe not both.
good point. I'm not familiar with that one, time to look it up! ThanksIt gives you more time. Melon pigment would work too.
Copperthorn will probably cover up crepey texture under the eyes, because the glitter is so dense. It's still a very extreme look - buy it if you're OK with something fussy and dramatic that you may only wear a few times. Those few times, you will definitely look very, very striking.Liba, can you compare it to "Oh, Oh, Oh"...
On me (and I have pigmented lips) it's nothing like Oh Oh Oh at all. OOO is honestly not my cup of tea at all, I found it aging on my complexion. Meanwhile, MB is quite sheer, more like a somewhat opaque gloss level of sheerness. The primary color you see on my lips is a warm old bronze/warm nude, with a subtle soft sheer plum under layer. Then it flashes and changes with red, which emphasizes the plum, and some gold, which highlights the bronze. The general effect on me is a soft warm nude, not anywhere near as dark as OOO, and much less overtly plum. It's truly unique and I haven't really seen a photo yet that's captured it. It's super duper sexy and perfect with all the strong eye colors in this collection. I guess it boils down to your natural lip color, which will be a big influence. I'm guessing it may look more plummy if you have very pale lips. It's a warmer, peachier nude color overall compared to Gold Mirror gloss, but I really don't have anything I can immediately compare it to. Check it out in a store if you can - it won't be flying off the shelves, since it doesn't look as awesome in the tube as it does on the lips, especially because SS testers tend to get really gross looking really fast.
Do you use your purples a lot? I really like Fig 1, but I somewhat prefer Hidden Motive and I think they'll go great together. I don't own S&R or Parfait Amour or Beautiful Iris. I don't usually buy those lavender shadows because they often don't quite do it for me, texture-wise. I do own Dame's Desire, but Blooming Mad is more vibrant and duo-chrome and looks smooth on my lids. All my other purple shadows are pretty much all MES or other non-standard formulas or are much bluer-toned than these.And then I have Urban Decay shadows and several aqua colors from MUFE. Am I set on purples?
I guess the first question is do you use your purples a lot and then if so, do you use Fig. 1 and Stars & Rockets a lot and wish they were better or a little different? Hope that helps you decide if you need these or not.

I think it's pretty, but I have crepiness under the eye. I don't want to draw any attention to that. I'll appreciate it on all you out there who post your pictures!
Thanks Liba! It might just work for a few special-occasion looks this upcoming holiday season. Just think, Ladies, in six months and one week, we'll be right smack dab in the middle of the week before Christmas! Here is a little eye candy for those of you who are ready to hit me with a wet noodle for bringing Christmas up!On me (and I have pigmented lips) it's nothing like Oh Oh Oh at all.

Thanks - the right brush you feel comfortable with and that suits your eye shape will make all the difference, imo. When it comes to bright and/or strong colors, I often just like to use a single shade in a halo all around my eyes, maybe with a little liner for extra definition, rather than wear a few and blend them together - i like the graphic look that has, plus I don't have tons of lid space, to really maximize that sort of thing.
