omgoddess! Need! (the word of a definite addict)

thanks alot for writing this

, purrtykitty,

.....now I'm sure it will not leave my head. I will probably Dream about it Tonite (I've had 2 MAC Dreams since i splurged on my 2 MES...eek!) The way you have described this means: MAJOR LEMMING! (Sorry for screaming.) Also, the colours you've described remind me of my obsession, Delineate Fluidline, which I use as a base for so many shadows. Now I am Fantasizing about Delineate and Play On Plums, paired...

You have succeeded in pulling out one of the little tiny pins which are helping me retain a grip on reality Today.

The word, "Morph" alone, makes me crazy, because a) I am a word geek who actually falls in love with certain words, & b) because I am easily ready to try to turn everything around & try it in new ways. Your use of "morph" will probably find me holding plastic in my hand soon. Sad that i'm obsessing over makeup when we're about to become a 2-car family in a little town which literally has nothing (but it's on the way to everywhere).

I think I really ought to be more excited that I'll soon have the family gas guzzler sitting in the driveway. Danger!

thanks for your description! xxxCherylfaith

I agree...it has become (except for my love of my pink ones) my favorite color lipgloss

The new lg have a better consistency etc. I think MAC is improving all their new products textures.

Ok, so I went to the MAC store and had a look at Hot Contrast. And guess what, I got it. I have one that makes the melange side a nice purple and I looooove purples

FWIW, Odd Couple is more blue than Milady purple, and Two to Glow is more orange than Enaging is= that is more bronze brownish. I could not find this info anywhere before I ordered, so I thought I would add this.

Yes, yes Colorqueen. Your swatches are most accurate. Thanks for posting them!

I used a base similar to Nice Vice on the lid and then a base similar to Bare Study in the crease up to the brows. I put the mono side of PoP on my lid and Circa Plum in the crease. It ended up being a nice gradient that way. I posted an FOTN: http://specktra.net/f166/celebratory...5/#post1225493. The picture quality isn't great, but you get the idea. Since I have hazel/green eyes, I love using purples and plums!

I am not sure if anyone here is interested or not, but I have been asked to write reviews at a new site this year (well, new to me) and I have been writing very in depth reviews on the Electroflash eyeshadows today.

I have been adding to this section a lot with MAC stuff, and I am allowed to post photos with the reviews, which is exciting.

Anyway, if any of you want to see my reviews, they are at

Consumer Reviews - Viewpoints

Do a search there for different MAC products and they should come up. If not, PM me and I will try to change the link in this post

I don't get anything from you guys reading them, but I just wanted to let you know they were there- because had I not been asked to write for the site I would not have known they were there!

So GLAD you liked them. I am such a fuss budget about color......hence the name colorqueen....

Colorqueen, thanks for the swatches. I wish my FGM melange side was as dark as yours...

they are if you layer your shadow on top before the paint dries down. they dry down faster than paint pots, so you gotta be quick about it.

i like paints/paint pots better by themselves, or with a little shadow layered on the outer corner. i don't like covering the entire thing with shadow. i prefer shadesticks for a base if i'm layering a shadow over the entire lid, just because they never dry down.

First off, UPS sucks! Taking all long to deliver my pkg then tellin me they don't deliver late on evenings... Boo them... but!

My Sea and Sky finally arrived!!! I'm so over the moon, right now. I've discovered that I absolutely LOVE blue eyeshadow (makes them brown buggers pop!). So I did a smoky using that and Iman's navy (Deep truth in MAC), and OMG... whooooo...

Sorry I didn't take any pics. Just ran out the door...boo me. Just wanted to share tho.

Sea & Sky IMO is the total stand out of this collection. The mono side is the most gorgeous & pigmented blue eye shadow I have ever used. I am totally in love with it!

I know rite?? At first I thought it would be Odd Couple. I was busy at the mall today trying to dupe it (Urban Decay's Adore was similar, but not really.) I'm so tempted to go get a backup I'm definitely in love...

not sure if someone said this already but has anyone noticed that two to glow is not as smooth as the other e/s colors such as fresh green mix?
