That's great. And they mix very well together.

If you enjoy mixing up p/p, you can also try to mix up Idyllic with TH. You will get a beautiful rose gold effect.

Idyllic + TH blended together. I used more Idyllic on the edges to show how gradual you can blend it. If you use more TH, you can achieve a stunning rose gold shade that you see in the center of the swatch.

Mythical is more red and cool-toned, whereas the above combination has a subtle golden undertone that creates a true rose-gold shade.

More PP p/p mixes: left shows TH and GT mixed together, which results in a more antiqued gold shade that has a slight antique-green-gold hue or taupe-gold hue to it depending on the light. On the right, GT, swatched heavy on the outside and sheered out in the center. IMO, it works best when you apply it in the center of the lid and then sheer it our (fast!) to the sides. It dries rather fast, but with some practice, it goes on well.

TH and GT look amazing mixed together! Was only going to get GT but I think I'll have to get TH now as well, especially with the dryness concerns of GT!

I bought a Genuine Treasure since it looks fantastic underneath one of my all-time favorite shadows, Sumptuous Olive. I usually do a few layers since it's so sheer-it takes a while to build it up to be completely opaque...I actually like it with just two or three thin layers since I usually pack a shadow on top of it anyway.

Oh and Filament! I never would have thought of it and I can't take credit for this combo, but my co-worker wore Filament Eyeshadow over GT on the lid and it was so sparkly and beautiful. I never considered Filament before but now I may have to pick one up :)

I've been meaning to buy SO forever. I bet it is beautiful with GT.

I use it all the time! Especially with Texture and Sketch...or Shadowy Lady...or Greensmoke... :)

I feel like I reach for it even more since MAC Me Over came out-it fits right in with all of the single shadows that were released with that collection. I did a bridal look yesterday with SO, Outre, Carbonized, and Hush shadows and it was really beautiful.
