Girl!! It is amazing. It has such pretty, multicolor shimmer! It is pretty sparkly so it def needs a base under it. I wasnt sure if I liked it at first but once I got it it's actually one of the prettiest out of these mes. To me it's better wet for sure though.

No! I'm so sorry. I just lost my camera and it's killing me. The best I can do right now is iPhone or iPad pics and I don't think you will really see the full effect. I think I might start looking for a new camera this weekend. I need to do research first to see which features I should get. My last camera was a gift and quite complicated for me to use but I was starting to get the hang of it.

I love Clarity. It's so unique. I got one without much black and it ends a grey dirty green with glitter. But I like glitters!
I used Smoked Ruby yesterday for the first time. I can't say I'm impressed... I found it kind of boring so I put a little 3D Copper glitter on top of it and it looked good that way.

I'm planning getting 2 or 3 more mes. Unsurpassable , Quartz Fusion and maybe Faux Gold. I swatched FG and it was exactly the same with my Tan pigment so I don't know. I may have to look for a different veining.

FG and Tan piggie are quite similar, so you want to watch out for one that has less orange but more burgundy veining.

The 235 is kind of big but I love it. I agree with what was said aboutt he edge of the brush creating a great line. I do not use the entire face of the brush so I can use enough for my eye. The patting it on after spritzing with fix plus and then adding a little dry with the other side of the brush is amazing..easy and only uses one brush for wet and dry application. For MES it is the stuff!

I played around with Clarity and Unsurpassable today and put them over different bases.
For those who are still undecided whether to get Clarity or not, it's definately gorgeous! I also LOVE Unsurpassable over Ivy f/l.



top from left to right: Clarity wet, over UDPP, over a light blue cream e/s
bottom: over Zinc Zone greasepaint, over BAre Study p/p, over Ivy f/l.





top from left to right: Unsurpassable over Rollickin' p/p, Ivy f/l, Zinc Zone greasepaint
bottom: over Bare Study, over a light blue cream e/s , UDPP, foiled

Clarity shows a grey/green color, Unsurpassable is WAY green, and Jade's Fortune goes from a charcoal with blue sparkles to a deep royal blue. From L to R they are swatched over Extra Charged Big Bounce shadow, Free as Air BB, NYX Black Bean, UDPP, NYX Milk, wet, and dry.

probably since the theme of the lippies is sheer but colored texture in this collection. i'm getting good use out of Gem of Roses, but my favorite from Semi Precious is still One of Kind - that one is sexy and gorgeous.

awesome combo!
I'm wearing it with my new fav eye look Golden Gaze/SOY/Dalliance. Even the hubby said it was pretty, and he rarely talks about my makeup lol

I'm loving this collection!

I am loving Clarity. It can look so many different ways depending on the base. Of course I love it alone wet and dry. I know this will last a long time but I am having a hard time not buying a backup. I've hit pan on one of my Peacocky so think I need to with this one. I want to find a store/counter that has a few so I can pick again. I'll be in Vegas next week so that'll give me a few places to check.

I used it today with Sephora's Jumbo Liner in Purple (this one is not the bright purple that is violet) Clarity is gorgeous over this.


By the way if you haven't tried these liners they are amazing. They are just as good as UD shadow pencils. They are waterproof and wear all day and do not budge. I bought Kaki to try one and loved it. I went in today and bought the purple and played with it at home. It looks pretty with Clarity over it dry but with a little fix+ is beautiful. I can see me buying many more of these pencils at half the cost of UD's.

AWESOME SWATCHES! I am now inspired to swatch some of my more chameleon colors (like Clarity) over different colored bases.
Its crazy how blue you can get your Jade's Fortune to be! Jealous!
