The lipcolor has zero lasting power. Sipping carefully out of a glass of water decimated it. That's a shame :(

It seems like one of those glosses that you have to tend constantly, which is going to drive me nuts!
hmmm it's weird I wore Woo Me to lunch yesterday and had all you can eat sushi and a few sake and it was still on in the end of lunch

Mine have also stayed on - I did find that they needed to "settle" for 10-15 minutes though to sink in. Then I had no problems drinking or eating! I have Woo Me and Enchantee. I also find that they fade evenly - so rimmed lips on me!

(Moderator- if this post is not set up right, please by all means show me how to do it better and I will! Thanks)

Okay guys, I took a series of photos with some of the warm Peacocky shadows
specifically targeted toward redheads this time, as in contrast to the purple photos I posted earlier
(which I will include in the end for fun comparison)

Now I did this makeup early in the day and had some contact lens problems with the dry air in the mall
so I had to constantly re-wet them so my lids were stripped of Top of the Posh which
I wanted badly to show you all. I simply replaced with a smear of Spectacle of Yourself instead when
I got home to take the photos. In the last two hairstyle photos, I added a poorly place smear of Lucky Green for fun,
but I was in such a hurry that I didn't place it right. It should be more centered.

No other makeup was changed at all, however before or between photos.

Placement is as follows:
Prance under brow arch
Dalliance inner corner of eye and highlight (remember it is faded inner corner due to contact situation)
Spectacle of Yourself is on lid and above crease
Center Stage in crease
Lucky Green in some photos off center on lids

Hey I went to MAC today and guess who came home with me . . . . . Tweet Me !!!!!!!!!!!! It's beautiful !!!!!!! I love it. I tried Super and it reminded on velvet teddy l/s so I decided against it. Im happy with my purchases from this collection . .. Im Done !!!!!!!!!!1
I totally agree. I'm fascinated by what works and doesn't work for others for some reason. I typically never by MAC eyeshadow because it isn't pigminted enough for me, but I loved this formula. I need products that don't require a huge amount of work, and for me these didn't. This is the biggest haul I've ever done on a LE collection but I adore every product I got. For me that's most important. I have BOS 3 and while a great value I wish I would have passed as I only wear about 4 shadows out of it. Oh well, lesson learned.
I wore SoY yesterday with no base and Suspect (UD) as a brow highlight. I've never received so many compliments. Funny because that's so basic and I was just trying to get out because I had to drive in snow so I needed something quick. sss215 your right about it brightening your eyes. On a cloudy winter day I needed that. This shadow will be used by me all year round. So worth the $19.50 to me. It lasted all day and didn't crease. I've never paid attention to if my lids are overly oily or dry but whateer the case, this formula and my body chemistry obviously get along! For someone who's farily new to wearing eyeshadow these are great. I have 2 palettes, 1 duo, and 3 singles so it was a good way to build my collection.


I'm wearing Flaunting It today. Man I love these lip colors! I love that this color is a nice pop of subtle color. Some days I want color, but I don't want it screaming. Granted, these days are rare but Flaunting It will be my go to on those days for sure. I also suspect that it will get used even more in the summer.

BeautybyLele get Tweet Me - it is stunning. I'll do a swatch for you if you want to see. We look like we have similar shading. So many combinations and great alone. If I had to only pick one, that would have been it for me.

If lady gaga looked weird, then I'd say go for Vanity Fair. It's not quite as cool as enchantee, a bit deeper of a pink, but still bright imo. Having said that, I picked up both, but I know I will have to sheer out Enchantee and probably wear a more brown toned liner with it. HTH!
I've been using Enchantee as a highlight to my regular lipsticks, or as a base and then I dull it down with other lipsticks on top.

I definitely can't wear it on its own - too pink! I'm not sure why I thought it looked good in the store. Crazy lighting, I guess.

My box arrived today with my stuff from both Peacocky and Mickey Contractor. I'm pretty happy with everything I bought but my Centre Stage was cracked during shipping so I have to make my way to Bendel's tomorrow to do a an exchange. I'm bummed , I really wanted to try that color out because I love a deep rich brown. Here's a photo of my haul.

I got Dalliance, Gana,Sur, Centre Stage, Flesh, Siahi, Ivy, Saffron,Odalisque, Enchantee, So Vain and Woo Me. Can't wait to try these out!

Tweet Me was the first shadow I wanted from this collection, but I already have Melon so I passed (and have stayed away, even after 2 additional orders!) I'm sure it's gorgeous on both of you!

HELP!! I picked up Unflappable because it was one thing I really wanted from the collection...unfortunately as of now I am very underwhelmed by it. Any one else feeling like this? I have been trying to use it a number of ways but it is just not working! The quality is not like the others in the collection and it is not showing as pigmented as I hoped for. How is everyone using this? All over lid or just in the crease? Are there any bases that will make this better? I really do love the color but I do not think I should have to make it work for me with what I paid...ughhh this may just be going back to MAC..

I am LOVING Dalliance! I'm considering backing it up. But... I figure something close to it will come along or already exists... But seriously I love how this shadow goes on so smoothly and looks so lovely. Today I'm wearing it with a bit of Parfait Amour.

Okay. I have officially purchased every single one of the e/s and 6 of the 12 lippies (plus backups of Woo Me and Enchanted).

I can't get enough of this collection. Everything about these e/s and lippies just works for me.

(It is probably a good thing that the more I see of WW, the less I want from it - LOL!)

I used it on a friend with Prance and Mating Call (Prance on inner-third and highlight, MC all over lid and Unflappable in crease). I've also used Top of the Posh all over the lid, with Sexpectations in the crease and Unflappable in the outer-v and lower lashline. Also, Papparazz-she on the lid, Centre Stage on outer-third and Unflappable in crease. I haven't tried it yet, but I also want to try Unflappable on the lid with Ego in the crease, along with a warm brown like Saddle or Swiss Chocolate. You could also try a purple in the crease such as Mating Call or Grape pigment. :) I've also seen it used with Dalliance all over the lid, and Unflappable in the crease and outer-v as a smokey look. And lastly (for now), try a light color like Naked Lunch on the inner-third, Odalisque (or any good teal) in the middle, and Unflappable on the outer-third and crease.

Just a few quickies from the last few days and off the top of my head, I only just got Unflappable back today after loaning it to a friend for a couple days, so I haven't gotten to play with it a lot yet.

I would try a dark base like Blackground or MUFE Anthracite, or even try it wet using Fix+ (I've done several colors this way and it really makes a difference on this formula).

Ahh, I was so relieved to read your post after second guessing myself! And, I don't have Melon pigment either. I'm sure it looks beautiful on you too
