When I swatched it last week, and then left the store, the lighting in other stores also made it look so pretty It was like Style Snob with pink reflects. And that day, I was wearing Style Snob blended onto my crease, which 2 people had said it looked like a purplish brown colour. So now I'm certain Hypnotizing would surely be a great backup to the amazing Style Snob.

i don't have style snob so not such how similar they are... but what i do know is that hypnotizing is a gorgeous shadow!

Darker girls! You GOTTA try this!

I had a woman come in today looking for a frosty mauvey neutral lip. She was about NC50 I'd say. I filled in her lip with Plum Pencil, smacked on some Intricate lipstick, and topped it with Utterly Discrete. Ladies, this lip was STUNNING. It was pale but natural looking, but with this interesting frosty glow to it. Please please try this, it was so breathtaking!!

I was going through my stash and the lighter side
of sea and sky mineralize shadow reminded me of suave intentions.

I picked up my goodies the other day. I ended up with Suave Intentions, Love Lace, Pretty Please l/s, Icescape l/g and Sense of Style pencil. I am still wavering on the other 2 shadows and lip stuff. I love everything I have so far

I have been looking for the perfect light blue e/s and I finally found it in this collection!

 

[LMD84]

i'm slightly sad that not so many people seem to be raving about this collection... but i guess blues are not for everyone right?

i simplay can't wait to get my hands on the shadows!

I am on the fence about the eyeshadows... Suave Intentions and Love Lace are very pretty, but I wonder if they are too similar to other blues (read: Tilt and Deep Truth) to warrant a buy. I don't really use blues enough to justify a lot of shadows that look similar. Hypnotizing looks divine, but I want to compare it to Style Snob before I purchase.

Sense of Style Kohl power will definitely be mine, though! Possibly Icescape lipglass as well.

This collection is not available here yet. I love blue e/s a lot but I already have two blue palettes and a few singles here and there so I don't know if I still need these here. Will check out the counter when it arrives to find out!

I cannot wait for Icescape lipglass, Feline Khol Power, Love Lace e/s and Suave Intentions e/s to arrive!! I might talk myself out of getting Pincurl e/s though.

IMO, they ARE different enough from Tilt and Deep Truth to purchase, especially if you love blue shadows like me. Tilt has a green/gold duochrome on me, which Suave Intentions does not have. SI is closer to Azreal Blue pigment, but more wearable for me, as it is not as silvery and nowhere near as frosty. Love Lace is not navy blue like Deep Truth. It's more of a smokey dark grey blue, and it looks amazing with SI. I think these 2 blues will be among the most used in my collection. They seem more wearable, and less "in-your-face" than other blues. I can't stop thinking about the other 2 shadows, so I plan to pick them up today

When DH saw my makeup done with all of my new goodies, he loved it so much that he told me to go back and buy the rest of the collection.

I don't have any blue eyeshadows yet, so I'm very excited about this collection. Love Lace e/s looks pretty (and it's Veluxe Pearl

). I'll have to check also Hypnotizing & Pin Curl e/s and Sense of Style and Raven kohl pencils.

You may have sold me on the blue shadows now!

*sigh* as I said in the W&C thread, it is so hard for me to decide on these 2 collections. I truly can't decide on the eyeshadows and keep going back and forth on them. Maybe because I've never intentionally owned a blue e/s? lol.

But these look amazing, especially Suave Intentions. Hypnotizing was a definite on my list. I was trying to decide on SI. But I feel if I get SI, I should get LL. Then I felt that if I get SI *AND* LL, I should get the Sense of Style pencil! Lol. The swatch of it on MAC looks gorgeous! What do you guys think?

Hmmm, can anyone swatch these 2 eyeshadows with their closest dupes in the perm line?

Other than that, I'm also getting Icescape

Thanks in advance for any help/swatch/advice!

xo

^I would definitely get Love Lace e/s and Suave Intentions e/s if you love the Veluxe Pearl finish. If you don't have Style Snob, Hypnotizing is the perfect dupe for it. I myself have Style Snob and Hypnotizing was on my list to get but now I'm thinking if I should get it or not.

Ooooh, that I do! (VP). Thanks, GlamQueen

I used my 88 palette and tried to use similar colours for SI (lid) and LL (crease) and I rather do like it!

It's very pretty

So I plan on getting these. I'm just not sure about Sense of Style now

it looks gorgeous though

It'll probably be a yes...even though I am so broke! Ahhh

 

[Hypathya]

I'm getting so impatient for W&C and Love Lace!!!

When are we having this??? When???

 

[TeresitaMC]

well, I removed sense of style pencil from the list! I did it in hopes of replacing it with the upcoming pearlglides in either Petrol Blue (deep navy) or Undercurrent (blue teal).

*Most* of the swatches for sense of style seem mainly black (which I love) but to go with these shadows, maybe the pearlglides will fit? PLUS, pearlglides work like a dream for me!

If anyone can confirm that sense of style looks just like MAC's *swatch* on their site though, I will be heartbroken, lol.

I am saving my Love Lace shadows for NYE! I am going to a Blue Moon party and I figured that blue eye shadow would go well with that.

 

[Karen_B]

OK, I just found a comparison swatch between Style Snob and Hypnotizing in this thread, and they look nothing alike. So that's my decision made: Hypnotizing will be mine!
But I still can't get over the feeling that Suave Intentions looks like something I've seen before. Mutiny pigment, maybe? In some swatches it reminds me of Silverthorne, though. It's a mysterious eyeshadow!

IMO Suave Intentions is similar to Fashion e/s from Starflash. Fashion is lighter and more gray, but they are very similar. Suave Intentions is smoother and more pigmented and has more blue to it. It is what I wanted Fashion to be.
