Blue Storm discussion

[Krasevayadancer]

I didn't like smoke signals pigment at all, bruisy and hard to work with! Even the m.a didn't like it. This whole collection was amazing though! The kohl powers are so great, colorwise and application wise too!

Cumulus is a beautiful blue grey
Stormwatch is one of my fav true teals
Cloudburst reminds me of black tied but with a blue sparkle to it
Bluestorm made a great crease color and while thunder looked purple in the store, at home it is a beautiful blue!
The eyeshadows and lipglasses are gorgeous! This collection is a winner!

Thank you so much for those descriptions Krasevayadancer. That really helps me alot. I thought the purpleish one would be too purple, now I am looking forward to it

My pleasure dreamqueen! I was so happy with this collection overall, i adore blues and cumulus just might be backup worthy

 

[BloodMittens]

I think I'm going to skip most of the colors in this collection. Some eyeshadows are nice, but I'm not a huge blue fan. I'm also waiting for Alexander McQueen, that should be awesome

This collection has my name ALL over it! I want 97% of it (all the e/s, 2 l/g, 2 k/p, 1 n/p), and when I see it in person, I may end up with everything. I am so happy that Smoke Signals isn't thrilling me or I'd really be in trouble!!

Audrey- I am contemplating backups with this one! Haha :-D Oh, and maybe the pink l/g. I really did <3 this collection :-D

Backups? They are THAT good?!?!

 

[lethaldesign]

Ahh I can't wait to see this collection in person! Less than 1 week now

 

[Ms. Z]

I checked out the collections last night and made my list.
I l

ve the Stormwatch e/s & the Mystery e/l (that opinion may be biased because I love shades of teal & turquoise)
I will also purchase Cloudburst & Blue Storm e/s.

It was hard not buying my stuff yesterday, I have a appt. next week & will buy at that time

 

[Krasevayadancer]

Z agrees with me- blue storm is awesome!!

Also, posted this in the haul section but found it relevant to post here too:

I love the khol powers- they are gorgeous. In terms of texture they are def in between a khol and a powerpoint. Feline is a blackest black- similar to the lava pencil too faced offers. Mystery is a gorgeous shimmery teal (but not glittery or sparkley!) and Raven is a gorgeous what looks like purple/maroon with a hint of red in it pencil!

I was able to check out both Smoke Signals and Blue Storm yesterday. Honestly I wasn't really impressed with anything I saw but I did pic up a few items. I got Ablaze blush, Sparks Can Fly l/s, Smoke Signals Pigment & Stormwatch e/s. I didn't really look at any of the Kohl Powers as I'm not into e/l. Anyway here are some pics.

Hey Adina, would you be able to do skin swatches of the blue storm shadows? I will love you forever!!

 

[Krasevayadancer]

Audrey- of course! i will do that tonight :-D

Garnetmoon: Do you know how Stormwatch compares to Riot? They seem to be pretty similar.

How do you think Blue Storm eyeshadow compares to Freshwater eyeshadow or Blue Storm/Naval Blue pigments, if you have them? It looks similar to a mix of Blue Storm or Deep Truth and Freshwater.

How does Cumulus compare to Silver Ring or Electra?

Also, how do you think Thunder compares to Cornflower, Softwashed Grey, Blue Storm, etc?

To make my questions easier, what are the closest dupes you can think of? lol. Thanks again for the swatches.

 

[Krasevayadancer]

Unfortunately, the colors I have from the permanent line are very limited (in my 7 months experience with mac i always go for the perm shadows)

Best I can say is that in my limited experience, I don't have anything like any of these eyeshadow colors and I am absolutely in love with all of them! They are totally backup worthy imo!

To answer a question about the khol powers, I am in love with these! Used them on my waterline and it worked great, and the colors have this beautiful sheen to them. This has become my new favorite eyeliner!!!
