Lol, I know the feeling. I'm really excited for this whole collex, and over the moon on that 286. Especially since I'll be buying my first ever MES's with Naturally.
Argh, wait a minute. I think I have Blonde and Redhead mixed up. Which is the pinker one and which is the darker one?
Blonde is a lighter, cool-neutral pink combination. Redhead is slightly darker and more of a golden-pink.

A great look I've been doing with Hold That Pose that I think will translate well to these Naturally MES is using them for a wash all over the lids into the brow bone, then using a jewel-toned eyeliner in the waterlines and smudged under the lower lashes (I particularly like to use my Greasepaint sticks for it - those need to come back badly!) - especially with brighter (but not neon bright) lipsticks like Hibiscus or Deliciously Forbidden mattene.Must...have...all...the....lippies!
Seriously though, neutrals aren't usually my thing for my eyes, other than a deep neutral smokey eye look but even some of those are calling out for me to look at them irl when they're released.
Twilight Falls seriously doesn't look like HTP to my eye at all. Maybe in the pan, but for sure not how it's swatching. HTP applies as silver grey with a taupe/pink sheen when foiled or heavily applied. When applied dry it's a very slightly warmed silver taupe with a cooler highlight and very sheer with mostly shimmer and a "wet look". Twilight Falls looks like the cool brown version of HTP, but it looks like more of the same effect, but not the same color.
For what it's worth, I LOVE HTP and it's my #1 most used product from G&I - I've already got a dent in the pan and I almost never get to that point with shadows. I'm going to pounce on Twilight Falls for sure, but it's not going to replace HTP, by any stretch of the imagination. It's the difference between wearing a grey shadow and a brown shadow, which for me is like saying dressier vs. casual for me. Your mileage may vary!
You should have made Piarpreet keep hers and just gotten one for yourself.I look forward to playing with my HTP... and to think I wasn't even going to get it! YAY!! Piarpreet convinced me it was gorgeous and swapped it to me... So I'll have her and you to thank if I end up falling in love with it as much as you guys did!
So true! The regrets of swapping, lolYou should have made Piarpreet keep hers and just gotten one for yourself.
You know you're going to regret not having it, once you hit Spain, Miss P.!
