Thanks. Glad it wasnt just me or that I bought a bad one.

Again, this is just on me...SS and ST are those kinds of colors that the shade varies from person to person. That being said, I decided to be a good girl today, and did not go to check out Prep for Colour. I'm making an effort to be smart about money, and it is a rather long drive out there. I will check this out when I go for Pret A Papier because then I can really make an informed decision about my shadow choices.

There is a slight purple in Style Snob. I am just picky about having the same color of something. My sister has SS and she loves it, so I am not knocking the e/s, just saying I didn't want it based on what I was told/swatched.

trax needs a good base... nice vice paint pot is good. on it's own it can look patchy. but with the right base it's awesome!

Thanks, I will try this - Nice Vice is such a great p/p - they need to re-release that one!

Thanks for the advice. I had artifact but sold it. It looks like I can't wear Sorcery though as I woke up to mucous/red eyes again after having worn it yesterday

. I cant wear bright pinks or it seems burgandies

Arrggghhh.

Whooooops got all excited about Pret-a-papier and totally posted in the wrong place.

I still want the serum so badly, so I can't wait to hear some reviews!

Yuck! That really sucks! I love burgundies because they make my eyes look really green. I don't think I could live without 'em!

It is pretty

I ended up just with Hey eyeshadow it's so gorgeous, I love the texture and it looks like it'll really brighten up your eyes. It's similar to All That Glitters but when swatched together is def. less orangey.

I skipped Prepped for Glamour after swatching it as it really is just a less pigmented, less frosty version of my beloved Satin Taupe, so unless you don't like the frostiness anddepth of Satin Taupe you can skip it!

Oh and I just wanted to mention that Sorcery was inthe Holiday 2009 Devil May Dare Warm Eyes Palette, so if you have that, don't make the mistake I did with Hypnotizing E/S from Love Lace

haha

I caved and got Just Add Color this morning - it's so beautiful - I'm a baaadddd girl.

Yes it does

. I did not want to return the palette but I did today. I have Heritage Rouge and it never bothered me but maybe I just developed this allergy

 

[perfectdefect]

I put Hey and Just add colour away so I can pick them up when I go for my pret a papier haul. I'm excited for it all. Even though I have tons of makeup I still get as excited as I was the first time I bought something. I love that feeling LOL.

I only got Prepped for Glamour because it is a slightly lighter version of Satin Taupe which I didn't like. I love love love it so much.

I skipped the Face Protect SPF50 since it is permanent but I will buy it when I've used up my regular sun protection.

 

[TeresitaMC]

Hmmmm maybe I will skip PRG e/s

I reallllly wanted it but if it's less pigmentation than ST, I'll just skip.

I thought Hey would be, as you said, 'less orangey' than ATG...I would favor Hey over ATG but not sure I should get it.

Thanks for everyones reviews/thoughts!

I'm going to go have a peek at the swatches, and if I like what I see, I'm going for it!
Thanks a lot, enablers!

 

[angelisagemini]

I'm so tempted by sorcery....but I have to order online and don't want to pay for shipping...I think I'll wait till pret a papier and hope it doesn't sell out. I think it will be awesome with my green eyes though......ugh. I need to stop reading this thread, lol.

I bought Hey today and Wonderstruck l/g. At first glance, Hey and Orb from the perm line look similar but obviously, their textures are different. In swatches, Hey is much more of a peach compared to Orb and even Naked Lunch..pale pinks. I'm going to do a swatch with Ricepaper also.

 

[TeresitaMC]

^ oooooh, thank you so much! I've wondered how it was compared to Ricepaper too
