Yea it looks great. I applied blanc type with malt on the lid and blended the red from dangerzone in the crease and mixed it with carbon at the end to get a cat eye look going. i then highlighted under the brow with soft orche p/p. i did stark naked on the cheeks with harmony and crazee on the lips with sugarrimmed d/g. I wish i took pics...

I'll do it again this weekend..

Me too. Word of Mouth is gorgeous - I even like the copper glitter zipper. And I am not a glitter fan, generally.

This trio can look very soft for day or much more dramatic for evening. Very versatile, IMO.

I so agree! The colors are timeless & beautiful! I put them on & thought whoa I love this look.

I'm absolutely not a glitter fan... but a little dab will do ya

Rawr to all of you promoting Dangerzone! I thought I could pass on the MES this time around - but if the red in this is BETTER than in Mi'Lady........... ... .. . . I'm in trouble. Bah.

Okay, okay. You twisted my arm. I'll give it another try and apply it like elegant-one says she applies hers.

And yes! You've got to get Inter-view

No doubt about it!

^^ I think I as well have been sold on Interview....hehe....

 

[damsel]

inter-view was quite beautiful when i swatched it in the store, but i totally passed on it... plus, i passed on danger-zone because i have mi'lady. i also remember that the black side of danger zone was quite gorgeous due to the silver shimmer. what was i thinking?

now i have to go back and get them both. thanks a lot you guys [jk i luv you guys

Ok I snapped these photos really quick so not the best...Have to run out the door

Right side...Brush sprayed with Charged Water before applying MES

InterView

DangerZone

Oh yeah...I'm NC45

 

[purplerinne]

the blue in Interview is really pretty...but how does it compare to Deep Truth? I'm hoping it's REALLY close so I don't buy Interview

 

[EmbalmerBabe]

OK I have determined that in the Threesome eyeshadow with three stripes
the red colored stripe is an exact replica of Cranberry. And the pink looks similar to Swish. I thought to take it back because I have colors so similar all ready.

Nup, they are not the same

go and get it before it's gone and I'am sure you gonna like it

I only bought dangerzone which I love! It's so pretty too, I couldn't stop taking it out and just looking at it after I got it. I really want to get both of the beauty powders but I've been feeling kind of bleh about MAC blushes lately. These beauty powder blushes are so gorgeous though, however I'm afraid enough said is too similar to eversun bpb.

I love Eversun SOOOO much more than Enough Said.

Woot!
My packages came today (I was only supposed to get one today and then the other tomorrow but when I got home both were waiting for me.

)
From this collection I ordered Stark Naked, Love Alert, Babysparks, Sugarrimmed, and Pomposity. I also snagged Petticoat from Sheer Minerals and Pink Manish from the Manish Arora line.
And that's not even it for this week, I still have Interview and Date Night on hold for me until my appointment at the store and I also have an event at my local counter. But this will be it...
til Dame Edna.

(well, I've actually given myself an ultimatum/bargining/whatever, I really wanna see CA in Christmas soooo, if I have enough saved by the time I wanna take the trip I'll be doing that, if not, I'll buy what I want from Dame Edna and just save for New York in Christmas next year.

) ..sorry, went a bit off topic. >_^..

Yep, it's pretty similar, except Crazee looks a little glittery, like the glitter in Pomposity, if that helps. Eager also tended to be a little more pink, and obviously the finishes are different (Crazee = frost, Eager = lustre). I swatched in the forum. HTH!

I have found that the red is actually the exact same, except I'd say the formula from Dangerzone is slightly better. It seems creamier. I used the same amount of strokes to swatch on my hand just now, to make sure, and I can't tell, in all different light, any difference. Maybe I'm colorblind.

Either way, you ladies who are debating to get it or not, it's very pretty, but I have Hot Contrast AND Mi'Lady, and I basically am thinking twice why I even bought Dangerzone because the colors of DZ are pretty much the same.

Nope, the blue in Inter-view is almost like a blackened blue. Very dark, but with some shimmer. Beautiful! Now if I could figure out how to use this MES...
