AGREE! Same reason I didn't back up Personal Pick. Edge to Edge is like the nicer matte version that doesn't wrinkle my lips and costs less.

Today i wore Power My Spirit Mattene - i had no trouble getting good coverage - not at all sheer! and went on quite smoothly and evenly. No spreading or bleeding. I had absolutely none of the problems that Temptalia reported. And it held up well until i ate half a burrito... It doesn't have the blue-ish look it had in some photo swatches (darn filters). But it is a very deep dark purple unlike any other in my massive collection of purple lip products.
Stroke My Ego Paint Pot to brighten my lids, then lined my eyes with Imaginary Paint Pot. Unfortunately, one (or both) of them is irritating my eyes. I will have to wear them separately to try to figure out which. My eyes used to feel this bad when i wore eye makeup when i lived in LA in the 1970s.
I have relatively sensitive eyes and in the 70s the *only* mascara i could wear was Clinique - all others made my eyes burn. And these days i cannot wear Wet 'n' Wild eyeshadows; they, too, make my eyes feel like they're on fire. I wear glittery MAC stuff with no problems, so it's some other ingredient that's the problem. I would expect that lots of other people would NOT have this problem.

I can't wear fluidlines, though, they irritate my eyes quite a lot. The paint pots are ok, but frosty PP are better than matte ones (I have no idea why). Since the ingredients list of fluidlines and PP is relatively similar, I am not yet sure what actually makes the difference. Also I often have problems with more inexpensive eyeshadows, which is why I don't buy these brands anymore. Maybe the ingredients used are less pure or something, but I haven't been able to nail it down, there is no specific ingredient that seems to be the cause. But you are not alone with this sensitivity.

The coverage is very good, no bleeding. Wore it with NYX Black Berry liner (check the profile pic), and it lasted pretty much all day. My stepmother wants one and I want to get a BU

Temptalia/Christine described 2 of them as having shimmer, was she wrong [@]erine1881[/@]?Yeah there wasn't any shimmer, they just weren't matte. More like amplifieds.

I swatched Own The Look and Power My Spirit in store yesterday and they definitely had some very subtle micro-shimmer, but I doubt it would show up much, if at all, in natural light.

I had bought Wet n Wild Panther, the single black matte eyeshadow and O.M.G. seriously scary how much it burned my eyes

I'm still "forced" to skip because of the low-buy rules I've set up for myself (=no online purchases without swatching myself), because my counter still doesn't sell the collection. So, does anybody from Germany know if Douglas is gonna sell this collection in stores at all? I know it's up (and almost sold out...at least the nicest items) on their online page. I already tried the little application on their site to check whether it's in stock in various cities or nowhere at all, but neither bigger Douglas stores like Berlin/Hamburg nor my little provincial store seems to have it. My Mac sales assistants coldn't really help me neither.
Seems like I'm gonna skip? We all know Douglas having problems with deliveries, but this time it's kinda weird because it seems to be nationwide.

How about Heroine, Magenta or Fern (ColorPop)? I also love Dark Out and Nightmoth.

It depends on whether you fill them in or not. I personally recommend Colourpop Brills for a lavender lipliner.
