Someone asked for a color combination for Smoked Ruby. You can try using Smoked Ruby on the outer V and foiling Asylum from Sugarpill on the lid. Then, throw in some Paparazz-she in the crease. If you want a transition in the crease you can use Saffron. Or, use Saffron to tone down the sheen on Paparazz-she in the crease. If you want to do a smoky eye with Smoked Ruby as the focus and your shadow has too much black in it, just use Asylum to fix it. I'm telling you it's like a spot-on match for the ruby hue in Smoked Ruby. I'm so glad Asylum is back in stock!

Oh Heavens, I knew that there was NO way I could set foot in the MAC store without buying more from this collection! I went in to get Fix+ (which I ran out of today, cannot survive without that stuff!) and came out wiiiith........

Fix + (at least I didn't forget that in the midst of my mania)
A back up of Rare Find (with lots of brown, yummy!)
A back of of Unsurpassable with a huge section of purple down one side
242 Brush (thanks to whoever was recommending it a few pages back)
Mixing Medium
Pink Poodle lipglass

Whew! (but no 235 brush, dang. I really want a back up but all the London stores seem to be sold out. May have to cave and buy it online)

And I just want to say that I know I am the lone dissenter at the Clarity parade (I think it is too glittery and without enough base shimmer to hold it all together), but I just want to say that I think Unsurpassable is THE BOMB! I am trying to load swatches of my 2 gorgeous pans of it, and some swatches as well, but my iphone and computer are currently in a fight. This shadow needs more love! I find it to be SO versatile, buttery, and kind of an amazing neutral, while still being vaguely green. LOVING IT.

I just ordered the 235 brush and Mineral Mode! I can't wait to try the brush. I'm still contemplating backing up Goldstone and Pearl and maybe a purchase of Blue Sheen as it's the last MES that I didn't get.

Me too! I searched all over for a backup of it. I called one store and they said that they never got it only one brush, the 234 came out with it. I was like Uh...no, so she went to look. The SA came back on the phone and said that she couldn't find it. I told her, no, it exits so she searched the computer and said that there WAS something in the computer. She then looked for it came back and said that she had one left. I asked her to pretty please put it on hold, which she did. So I got my backup, YAY!

I found out the hard way that getting them wet blurs the shadows. Crap! How do you use these wet without blurring them?

spray your brush and not the shadow itself. then dry the brush off once you have done one eye. then spray your brush again and do the next :)

I don't quite know how, but.... I own all of the shadows except for Dark Indulgence.

But I'm seriously considering picking that one up (although I know it's quite dupe-able). I cannot emphasize enough how much I love these shadows. They are amazing.

(I am considering another Clarity, though. The one I have has a TON of black in it. I like the one I have, but I do wonder how one with less black would be.)

I need an intervention!
