MUFE #72 is a great turquoise. Love it! The more I see of this palette, the more nervous I get. I jumped the gun. I just love the way everything is packaged together. I'm going to keep an open mind, though. I'll try everything on when I get it before I make a judgement.
I like the way it looks too! I'm sure you can make it work. I need to get #72. There was a also a sugarpill palette with these colors in it. I love the polishes.
Good for you! The glitter was never an issue for me, the pigmentation was and I am glad you got the colors to work. they were horrible for me. The packaging IS amazing! When I saw it, I thought it was done right. Andy would be proud! Now the New Wave palette. Stellar without a second thought. Grab it!I got my palette today and I couldn't wait to start playing with it. I snapped pictures along the way: This is the box (you know I'm keeping this, right? How awesome is this? The packaging for Black Room nail polish is next to it)The cover slips off to reveal the palette

I didn't bother to photograph my swatches because frankly, they're terrible. I wasn't discouraged, though because I own several shadows that swatch like hell but perform great. I went to work using these shades over the Nars primer and I have to say that I love these shadows! I used a giant shader brush by a brand called japonesque to pat the turquoise shadow onto one eye. I then put the purple shade on the other eye. I used the black on both eyes in the outer v, in the crease and the bottom lash line. I used the white shadow as a brow and inner eye highlight. I didn't do an ace job because I just wanted to see how well these things worked, so I didn't take pictures. Just trust me when I say these shadows are not duds. Now, they are not neon, vibrant colors, but they don't even look that way in the pan so I didn't expect that. They aren't sheer either and you can build them up by patting. The best shade of the 4 is the black and that really impressed me. Second best I'd say is the purple. The turquoise is really good, but it's softer in pigmentation than the purple, so it's third best for me. I've never had much use for white shadows, but this one does a really good job as a highlight. As for the glitter we all feared: It's not much of an issue. It doesn't show up much, if at all on the lid. There's a random spec of glitter and there was a bit of fallout, but not a glitter bomb. I'm going to do a full face look with this palette either tomorrow or Thursday so I can try the 2 blushes. I hope they're as good as the shadows. I feel so good about this palette that it makes me want to try that New Wave palette. Am I pushing my luck there? :lol:
Sorry to hear that. See, now you're tempting me! :getyou: I have to take a trip to the mall tomorrow and I know Saks has the New Wave palette. I had just convinced myself I didn't need it. It has one shade in there that I already own from the rated r duo, but that's OK. Well, guess I'll be buying that tomorrow!
No worries, there are lots of similar colors out there that will do the same thing and show up better. I am really missing out on a NARS blush/eye palette period. i want one but haven't found the perfect one yet. NARS' palettes are so sleek, modern, and perfect for travel. I am thinking about the foreplay palette. It looks interesting.The colors didn't work on you?
Thank you for the awesome photos, makes me want it even more! I say def. go for the New Wave palette! I love it so much and bought even though I'm in the same boat as with having the Rated R duo already.The colors didn't work on you?
Eyeshadow palettes from this collection seem a bit pointless if you can't use them..I'm skipping this collection too..
