I'm a lipglass addict and I thought that the lipglasses were GORGEOUS, culture clash and sonic vibe were my faves, I didnt swatch them but they had a gorgeous depth to the colors. As far as the lipsticks go, I'm a HUGE fan of Fast Thrill (frost), It caught my eye right away and is probably the only lipstick I'll be getting from this collection, its just such a gorgeous pink. Vanitys Child lipstick is almost colorless in a way. (I love that name though! Vanitys Child!). I was excited for Dangerously Hot lipstick because its an amplified and the color payoff on those is freaking amazing, but I wont be getting it, its far too dark and its almost dull in color, but for a different skin tone it would be gorgeous, but not on us pale girls hahah! (ahh joy for being NC15). I dont think I saw Mellow Mood lipstick. I loved odd couple e/s because I'm a fiend for puprles, but in my opinion, the purple is dupeable and the otherside of it reminds me of Mercurial MSF e/s which I have from last year, so I wont be getting it. I think if you're going to indulge on the E/s from this collection definitely get ones that are REALLY unique. I loved Polar Opposites, LOVED. Its definitely on my list of considerations. The silver side is very strong and reminds me of electra in the way that is applies, but its much more white then electra is. In my opinion, play on plums e/s, love connection e/s, and pink split e/s were gorgeous but not flashy enough for me, I have a ton of pink and plum colors and I dont think I need anymore. Two to glow e/s was gorgeous though, nice deep bright gold that matches well with the other half of it. I could see myself using that one.

Re: Electroflash Discussion

I totally agree gigglegirl


Also, I'd like to mention... most of these mes are MUCH MUCH MUCH brighter and have so much better color payoff then the MSF e/s from last year
I was freaking so dissapointed in the MES last year, I got one, (mercurial) and ive used it once. In my opinion they were A: too glittery, b: too flakey, c: not enough color payoff. Well ladies, MOVE OVER, THE MES OF THE FUTURE IS HERE! haha. they must have reformulated or something because the color payoff is 100 times better and theres no pesky flakes or glitter peices.

Re: Electroflash Discussion

Yes I do agree, the formula of these eyeshadows looked and felt really smooth, I tested a little bit on my hand and it did glide on really beautifully and felt soft/light. Also I do agree the bonus is no glittery flakes, those flakes in Mercurial especially, were such a pain in the backside, made the colour look really patchy on in my opinion. I don't think we'll be having any of those problems with these though. I still won't be convinced by the brighter colours though.

Honestly, I just posted a FOTD wearing purple today, and was telling the girls who posted in that thread that I plan on beefing up my purple/plum collection. Man oh man, I am in such trouble! Maybe my daddy will buy me my collection wants for my birthday! *crosses fingers*

Ohh im going to check it out right now!
Haha we can hope cant we :p
I definitely love the purples.
I have a whole palette + of purples pinks and plums, if you want I'll let you know which ones I use the most, I am NC15 but I can also wear NW15, Im in a weird skin tone, the only reason I use NC15 is because its lighter then NW15. So we have esentially the same skin tone and eye color

That would be awesome! I don't have many pinks/puples, so I'd love to know which ones you love! I have the following:
-Digit
-Beautiful Iris (coming in the mail)
-Illegal Cargo
-Satellite Dreams
-Thunder
-Violet Trance
-Shadowy Lady
-Moth Brown
-Poison Pen
-Pink Freeze
-Neutral Pink
-Whistle
-2007 Holiday Cool Palette
-Violet Pigment
-Grape Pigment
-Lovely Lily Pigment

Do you think I can get away with Pink Split or Play on Plums? Odd Couple is pretty much a definate for me now, unless it is similar to something I listed above...

I think play on plums would look gorgeous on you! If you like the purple side of Odd Couple but arent in love with the other side of it, take a look at getting Parfait Amour, they are quite smiliar.

I just did these really quick swatches for you, some of them are more intense colors but you're awesome so you can handle it haha! :p

A lot of these are good crease colors or lid colors, I love digit as a highlight for purples but I see you already have that.

I definitely think you could pull a lot of those, they would look great with your eye color. I tried to choose ones that maybe you hadn't considered.
Beautiful Iris and Parfait Amour go fantastic together!
So do hepcat and stars and rockets.
Just looking at that picture is getting my imagination going! Swish and Star Voilet are great together as well, Swish as a wash and star voilet in the crease, with maybe a nude highlight like blanc type or shroom.

Oh, complete with pictures! You are so sweet! I have been wanting Parfait Amour, so I will check out Odd Couple and decide on one or the other. The swatches are awesome, and I will definately write them down and check them out next time I go to the counter. Did you think the blue and green MES were similar to any other colors. I have ALOT of blues and greens, but they are my weakness...

Thank you SO much for your effort in reviewing and swatching!

No worries! You're always so kind in rewieving things for all of us I'm just glad I can return the favor

Um as far as the green one goes, its a bright green and in my opinion there is nothing like it... its bright and summery and fun, its nothing like Juxt.. which is the only one I can think to compare it too. Juxt is soooo dull compared to this MES. I didnt swatch the blue, but its soooooooooo vibrant oh my gosh! But I dont think I'll buy it, I have a feeling its going to look somewhat close to freshwater and I think its going to be a waste of money for me.

I have all the MES from the last two MES releases and I never use them (apart from the red in Mi'lady as its my baby) but yet i'm still extremly tempted to buy all these shadows. Someone needs to tell me how to kill the bug that is causing me to buy all the LE shadows I can get my hands on!!

I definitely think you'll be more impressed with this set of MES
I agree about the old ones I never use the one I have, and I knew I wouldnt thats why I didnt buy any.

Hmmmm, if it is similar to Freshwater, I think I will pass too. I have Blue Calm (pro) that is similar to Freshwater, and Submarine, and about 10 other blues, including Silversmith MES. I just don't know if I can pass up blue. I am SOOO excited for the green one now!

This was really helpful, thank you. If I can get away without having to buy Odd Couple, that will just be one less thing on my list! I do love Polar Opposites, so this sounds like it is a must!
