UD`s Roach Shade

[shedonna]

I just bought UD`s roach eyeshadow and I found it looks painstakingly similar to 100 Strokes, fyi. Roach seems to have more reddish tone, but they`re almost identical IMO.

No I don't sorry....100 Strokes is a lot darker IMO than Roach is on my tone

When I think roach, I think of the end of a blunt as opposed to a cockroach

I just found that out when I applied. In the jar they look similar, but on skin, 100 strokes is a dark purplish and roach is the color of.. well, a cockroach.

And that swatched picture seems to have much too much golden undertones to be Urban Decay`s Roach.. its supposed to be very reddish brown, right?

I own 2 Roaches

Sometimes colors do look similar in the pot until they are tried. Freakshow and TopHat seem so but one was much more red than the other. It's hit or miss I guess.
