Every time I try a look that fails I get frustrated and swear off buying anymore shadow, but today has restored my faith.



Shontay, sorry if I missed this earlier but is UD Mowie Wowie a dupe for Dalliance? I saw you did a side by side in the swatch thread but my monitor is kinda wonky. I have Mowie Wowie in probably more than one UD palette but I don't hink I've ever touched it.

I love greens so Ego is screaming "Buy Me", anything close to this? Dalliance or Tweet Me looked liked like it would pair well with Ego. I was trying to stay away from these and ease up on my shadow purchases but this new formula is really calling my name. The purples look nice also, but I find I wear greens more often. Thanks

[/quote] Maui Wowie isn't a dupe for Dalliance. They are in the same family, though. I like the color of Maui Wowie, but Dalliance blows it out of the water because it's more vibrant and doesn't have the massive fallout of MW. I say pick it up. It's my absolute favorite. Ego is very pretty. I don't have a green like it. It would look awesome with Dalliance (just about anything would). Tweet Me is one of the few shadows I wasn't interesting in.

Shontay... I knew you couldn't resist it.. I love it and have been using it almost daily for the last few months.. In fact I paid for a bu recently (Kinda like paying for water in a flood)

[/quote] LOL! HG, I went on a rampage with this collection. It's ridiculous. Ego is quite delicious, though.

 

[shadowaddict]

Oh forgot to ask this. Do I need Oomph from Mickey Contractor collections? It looks so so pretty. Me and greens again

 

[User38]

Shontay.. exactly ! I am so glad you are enjoying them and using them to full advantage

 

[User38]

yes ms. shadowaddict.. you do need oomph... it is the new black (green) merged by Madoff.. lol

Ego is hot to me. A total surprise! I never expected I would like it.

 

[shadowaddict]

Sorry, Another question about MM Ooomph.

Just realized that I have Nars Night Porter. Do I still need Oomph?

I did some more playing today with this collection, and ended up going to class in this crazy blue look!!! It was fun, though

This is what I had on my eyes:

UDPP
Siahi Fluidline all over lid
Odalisque all over lid, bottom middle
Dandizette outer third and crease, bottom outer edge
Dalliance brow highlight, inner corner/1/3 and bottom inner edge
Black Swan Pearglide on waterline
Lancome Artliner in Black
Lancome Definicils Mascara in Black















OMG Odalisque over Siahi is soooo gorgeous!!! I'm sure it would also be gorgeous as a base for a deep blue smokey eye with Dandizette as the main lid colour too! I'm hoping to place an order for the Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy in the near future, and I'm interested to see how it will affect all the colours - thanks for the tip, ladies!
I tried to take these pictures in natural lighting, but it is is so hard to capture their vibrancy on camera - they literally glow!

I know some people found that these colours weren't unique enough to their personal collections or they preferred the textures of some higher end brands, but I am so in love with them and so happy that my purchases will last me years because they're supersized! And can I just say how much I LOVE that Dalliance works well with every colour in this collection?! It seems to morph and take on the characteristics of the colours it's placed with - sooo cool!

Let me know what you think! Would you have the guts to rock this kind of look everday? I know I don't, it's definitely a bit much for the classroom as teacher, but it was fun for a change, and I could get away with it because today was a student day for me! I also found this colour combo emphasizes the difference in colour between my eyes (one is more hazel/brown, the other more hazel/green), buuuut I figure no one's looking that closely at my eyes during the day!

Love it! What's on your lips?

Jenn you are looking more beautiful every time I see some part of your face !!



macshadowaddictedone... if you have night porter from Nars, you can live without oomph...sadly

 

[User38]

Awww, thanks HG!

You missed the days of joking about how I was a cyclops because I only ever showed 1 eye in my pics

Mostly Elegant's doing, of course

I wasn't so crazy about So Vain when I first tried it on in the house. However, since I was going out to dinner tonight I decided that I wanted to wear one of these lippies so I wouldn't have to worry about it fading away(and into my food. Ewwww!). It was between So Vain and Super since they were the only 2 that really made sence with my eye makeup and I decided to give So Vain another go. I love it! I stopped by Mac and the MA told me "your lip color looks really good on you". I said thanks and then told her it was one of the Peacocky colors. She was pleasantly surprised. Then a lady came in to look at the peacocky stuff and the MA pointed to me and said I was wearing one. She ended up buying one. I helped with a sale without saying a word. p:

I have Unflappable and Prance both are super gorgeous. I was a bit hesitant at first when I saw the price of the shadows but I am happy I got them! The sizes are HUGE
