Heh! I love the word Specktrettes!

Have you ever thought of
* Goldmine?
* Amber Lights?
* Mythology?
* Silver Ring?
* or Trax?

Thanks for your suggestions VuittonVictim

Trax - I had this but it made me look like I was punched in the eye so I sold it.

Can you give me more details on GoldMine, amberlights and Mythology?

I'd say something that's a reddy-peach shimmer, that will make your green eyes pop.

Shale would probably be a better purple for you, also try Parfait Amour.

for a reddy-peach shimmer, try Coppering, Gleam, Hush, Mythology.

Goldmine is a pure gold e/s. A nice gold, shimmery color!

You should try Mythology, it's also a nice color!

Seedy Pearl is LOVELY and is kind of a light, lavendar base...but not THAT lavendar...I use it all the way to my brow bone to hilight and such...it's awesome!

You should really try coppering! If you have green eyes, and blond hair, it should look FAB on you!

I second the seedy pearl recommendation. It's such a lovely color and it would go well with some of the darker colors you already have.
