 Let me start out w/a history lesson: In the 70s purple shadow was sooo popular. Although I found several purples I loved, I was allergic to the dye and my eyes always turned watery and red – no matter how cheap or expensive the brands were. Then in 2005, I decided to try purple again and bought NARS’ Santorini – no allergic reaction but a nightmare to work with…It drags across the eye and does not blend at all! I use UDPP and a CCB and nothing helps this! Then I tried NARS’ swing (cream eyeshadow – creases every time I’ve worn it – UDPP or any base does not help this!)
Neither NARS’ santorini, swing or anyone else’s shadow have the richness, depth and texture of entremauve! This piggie is unbelievable! I just read this thread today about wearing it wet: http://www.specktra.net/showthread.php?t=58183. I can’t wait to try it and subtle wet both as shadows and liners. I know everyone compares subtle to sunnydaze, coco and similar piggies/shadows, but I like it because it has a subtle sheen and not a loud shine or sparkle. The only shadow I didn’t buy from the Nocturnelle collection was beauty sleep and kitschmas (already had).
Both subtle/entremauve are a dream to work with – they blend and wear so well – had both on about 14 hrs one day – I was amazed when I looked in the mirror before washing my face to see my eye MU looked like I had just applied it! This is my first year knowing about the MAC “Holiday” collections and I am well pleased so far. The Holiday/Formal Black eye palettes are to die for…. But if I had to choose the “winner” of either collection, entremauve  would be it for me….
I was reading another thread about insuring MAC…..I thought about taking one of my entremauves to work to store….I’m just that paranoid I’ll never find another again!!!
