So is your nude shadow, BC close to anything that you own in the perm collection? I have at LEAST two palettes full of highlighters and I don't need another one. LOL!



BTW...I loved your description of Dominate...

"I also tried Dominate full strength. On me (NW 15) it is a blackened, dark, metallic purple. A wearing all black, sitting in a dark smoky club, listening to the Cure or Ramones type of purple."

I think I need it just because of that!!!

No problem! I only wish that my phone was cooperating right now. I will try again in a little while to upload more pics (zoom ins and in pot pics). I was initially a little let down b/c the metallic shadows were lighter than what I was expecting. The lighter color, however, will make them easier for me to wear everyday. Plus they are all extremely pretty in person. I am on the fence about the nude shadow. It can be used to highlight on me, but that is about it. I probably could have passed on that one.

I love Heroine ls a lot, so I suppose my Heroine obsession is clouding my opinion of Dominate. I like Dominate, especially with a light purple gloss on top, but it is not love yet. I haven't worn Subverted yet with a full face on, so I will have to reserve final judgement until tomorrow.

I experimented with bc a bit. I am thinking now that it would be a better crease color for me than highlight. Too dark for a highlight on me. I use texture in my crease (very blended). This color may give me a similar effect. I will try it in the crease tomorrow. My affection for this color is growing.

Tried BC in the crease today, and I really liked the result. I can see myself wearing this color all of the time. If you like to use Texture, then you probably want to look at BC. I may pick up the rest of the nude shadows tomorrow. I didn't experiment with any of the metallic shadows today.

I have Brazenly and Dominate on hold at Pro. I don't think I've ever ordered from the Pro Site. Especially when Pro Stores was releasing a week early. I form my opinions when I swatch.

Review and swatch of Body Conscious and Brazenly eyeshadows. I'm liking Body Conscious and Brazenly looks beautiful too.

I must say that the pigmentation on all the shadows we've seen looks amazing. Now I'm starting to get tempted again, although the lipsticks weren't quite what I was expecting. I feel like I can pass on brazenly, because I have a couple of other similar eggplant shades, but it's very beautiful.

since it seems I can dupe the temp rising quads and these look awesome and we know shoddy quads can be I might... might... try to get these instead.

My local pro store is sending me a couple of the nude ls. I asked about some of the other nude es, but they are already sold out. They are also sold out of the blushes. So I suggest to call & order asap (tomorrow am) if there is anything that you really are dying to get.

Is anyone else out there stalking the release of this collection right now? Am I all alone?

I keep eyeing the whole metallic collection. I am getting all the metallic eye shadows, but I am still on the fence with some of the lipsticks. Does anyone out there have pics with them wearing the metallic lipsticks? Thanks!
