I have Pink Platinum and I'm in love with the color. I want the Cocomotion and Gold Mode pigments as well as the Reflects Very Pink and Purple Duo. Right now I'm trying to buy one thing per week before they become sold out.

Very interesting, because I hadn’t noticed ‘till you pointed it out - but, alas my Cocomotion, too, appears only 55% full when fully tamped downed (by gently knocking container on a soft covered surface to settle)
I’m fairly sure that’s the state of things….sigh!
I’ll have to remedy that, as I have an aversion to “half empty” anything when purchased brand new.

You know I first started out responding to your inquiry with me stating that I thought Gold Mode and Jardin Aires were fairly different. Jardin Aires is my absolute fave Piggie!
By further explaining that Jardin Aires has that unmistakable “Peachy” Gold tone, whereas, Gold Mode exhibited a pure “beige” gold tone extremely neutral – obviously both being very shimmery not glittery.
But then I decided to back this up by way of swatch test by indoor and outdoor lighting. And gosh darn it you’re right!
My only real observed difference would be that Gold Mode has more of an intense Gold shimmer to it, whereas Jardin Aires seems a bit duller.
Bottom line for me - Jardin Aires seems to be a “peachy” gold color that doesn’t even exist, if only in my own mind.
Thanks for the realty check!

I hope that the Cocomotion that I ordered will be filled up all the way to the rim. I can't wait to try it!

This is SO true. I always thought it was peachy too and just went in my bathroom to swatch it. It is gold. But I love it, too, though!

I passed them this weekend as well and stopped to look at Verdigris and only at Verdigris. The colour is just great so I got it. No creasing, but I still would prefer the colour in powder e/s form.
Did I mention that I love the colour?

The colour of Verdigris is gorgeous, I agree, I just know I'd never use it in the metal-x formula.

did i tell you guys how much i love gilded ash? it's soooo freaking gorgeous
it goes on like a dream [i used the 249]. it was smooth, pigmented and applied evenly. it's nothing like the metal-x shadow which i bought last year, then quickly b2m because it sucked so bad.
i wore it for 5+ hrs [and i worked out somewhere in there] around the house with too faced shadow insurance as a base on one eye and pure white chromaline as a base on the other eye. guess what? no creasing whatsoever. love it! now i want to get a few more. i've got my eye on verdigris, material gold, and gold spice.

I have no idea how the ones from last year where, but for me it is ok.
Still different to apply, but I love the colour.

I used urban decays eyeshadow primer with gilded ash and verdigris and i did not get any creasing whatsoever. I swatched metalblu at the store and its really really beautiful, I might go back to get that. I absolutely love the reflects bronze glitter its too dies for opening it is like opening up a mini pot of gold and it looks really nice on the lids too
