I apologize if this has been discussed already. I skipped banafsaji because I thought it looks a lot like deep truth which I only used once ever and left it for dead the whole winter long. I'm rediscovering it though. My question is, is banafsaji similar to deep truth?
I thought it would be too (and I almost skipped it), but it's not.

Banafsaji reminds me of 2 shadows I have which is why I didn't get it. It reminds me of MAC's Thunder and of NYX's Morocco.

Deep Truth doesn't have any purple in it the way Banafsaji does.

Wow I love Deep Truth. That is gorgeous. I don't really know how to wear blue eye shadow. I'm gonna have to stay away from these colors until I learn how to use them.

Deep truth is so gorgeous when swatched but something about blues doesn't work on my now ultra warm golden NC 25/30 skin.
But if you're looking for a good tutorial, this is so far the best I've seen for a blue eyeshadow, she's quirky and I do like the video.

I don't know if she's a member here on Specktra. I would think she is!

Hello all, long time lurker :shock: and first time poster here. Was about to place an order and have been debating on getting reflects gold for a while now, do you all think this glitter is a must have? Thought I would as some fellow MAC lovers since everyone over here thinks I'm a nut for always buying makeup lol!!

Welcome! I don't know if it's a MUST HAVE but I think it's very pretty. I've wanted it for quite some time now but just never decided to push the button. Sorry if I'm not much help. LOL!

I got the Rimal Dahabia quad, Farasha and Banafsaji e/s yesterday. I used the RD quad today and I'm really pleased with it. It's nice to have an extra non-cracked Beautyburst and I didn't have Shroom and Soft Brown yet, but wanted those and Soft Brown is not available in europe, so it's great that they were in this quad. The dark brown Najm el Lail is nice to deepen the crease and I don't have any problems with it. In fact all the shadows have a nice texture. I also didn't have a dupe for Najm el Lail, it's darker than my other dark browns like Diamond Dove, Espresso and Brown Down.
Soft Brown not in Europe! That's too bad:( I've been wanting this colour for a long time!! And I am always searching for a nice deep brown, haven't really found one yet. Seperate eyshadows are way to expensive anyways here in the Netherlands, so this quad is a good deal!

Glad that you like the pallete. I guess I really missed out on this one:( It was sold out so quickly!
