Me too!!

This collection will arrive a week after my birthday so I'm going to buy myself a lot of things ;P
Mating call and flaunting it were the first products on my list... then I've added paparazz- she ... noir plum, unflappable and finally also spectacle of yourself!!

SoY is a little more orange than Antiqued. I have DeVil and on the lid it looks like SoY. I say they are all in the same color family. It just depends on how much you feel you would get use out of the color. Personally, I feel like there are certain colors I can't get enough of, dupes or not.

I may still haul Sexpectations. Its such a pretty deep pink on. Sometimes I get in the mood for pink :)
I know what you mean about not being able to get enough of certain colors. I am that way about taupes and neutrals that lean purple/plum/lavender (like Hypnotizing and Prepped for Glamour) I got SoY anyway. It's richer and more visually interesting than Antiqued so I caved. Plus the texture is awesome and you can wear it wet. I also got Tweet Me (I don't have Melon because it swatches gold with no melon-ness on me, plus it has more color pay off and is more pink than Urban Decay's X and it's less overpowering than the Loose Pigment version of X which is like powdered gold). I also picked up Unflappable; I was finally able to compare it side by side with Smut (which I brought with me since Smut is a store/online only shade) and Unflappable is warmer, plummier, and browner and Smut leans more black and I rock the hell out of colors like that anyway so I know I'll use it. Maybe now I can give my Bobbi Brown eye shadow in After Hours a rest since I don't have a b/u. And I also picked up Top of the Posh and Prance. I didn't swatch Peek-At-You for fear I would like it and Sex-Pectations on me is exactly the same as Cranberry, like identical. I was returning Odalisque today because it was given to me by mistake instead of Ego. I just could not convince myself to keep it - normally I love teals and turquoises but I think UD's Haight looks better. Does anyone else think Odalisque's texture is not as great as the other shadows? So now I own all but 3 shadows from the collection and I am fairly certain I am done now. Whew!

dalliance looks awesome so that has been on my list since day one! and also odalisque is on my list because i freaking love teals and use them at least twice a week! and the orange has to be mine because i dont have a good orange shadow like that! the only thing that came off my list was sexpectationbs. i wanted it to be a deep metallic red and it just isnt :( boo!

enjoy whatever you do get though!

Noir Plum is not similar to MUFE 92 in color, finish or texture. It is so pretty. The closest thing to it that I already have are UD Ransom Deluxe Shadow and the center stripe from Togetherness MES, but neither is a dupe for Noir Plum.

Good for you! My first day list was Tweet Me and Flaunting It.
Ever since then (and the swatches and discussion in Specktra) I've added a couple of temptation list:
- I know I will be tempted with Odalisque but I'm still not sure because I don't use the color often.
- If Noir Plum leans to blue on me, I will probably get it too. I wonder how similar it is with MUFE #92 though.
- Dalliance, because everyone said it's a great color, I have to check it out.
I think Noir Plum is very close to Stila Cassis.

[/quote] I concur, Noir Plum is nothing like #92. Completely different purples and I love them both. Oh and if you have Strike A Pose, leave Odalisque behind (just my opinion). I am out of my shadow funk! I'm going out and decided to give these babies another shot. I got Dalliance on the inner eye, Strike A Pose on the outer and Centre Stage in the crease. I love it! Every time I try a look that fails I get frustrated and swear off buying anymore shadow, but today has restored my faith.

I think so too. When i was swatching last night i though that is Cassis and UD Ransom had a baby it would be Noir Plum.

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
