Thank you Anneri. Great, now I'm going to be stalking the EL counter now. S--t. I wore the EL Violet LS (drawing a blank on the name, it's the purplish LS from the Fall collx) Velvet, Matte LS this weekend & the wear was unfreaking real. Not drying at all, very comfortable feeling lasted through drinking & a little bit of eating...very staining on lips tho, but that didn't bother me with this color. I had to use several swipes of MU remover to get it all off. I took pictures & I know somebody was asking for a swatch, so give me a couple days & I'll post it. Wore Superwatt (me thinks) with TFSI wasn't thrilled with the way it looked initially but then it set & looked killer! Will be interested to try these with a PP. & sported Star Wonder as a blush & highlighter & almost died. It was the first go with wearing any of my HC MSFs & was floored with how great it looked...in love with my Star Wonder & Superwatt.

I hope I can find Dragon as well. I'm just now learning about it since I've also stepped (more like stumbled) into the world of Chanel.

The Electric Cool swatches look pretty, but I'm going to wait to see them in person. I'm not sure if their texture will be too advanced for me to handle.
They absolutely won't be.

I have three and they are super easy to work with. I find they blend easier that the regular shadows and extra dimension shadows. My SA said she puts hers on with her finger, I plan to try that next time.

I didn't know about Dragon either...I could cry because I'm totally lemming it. So, I know there has been a lot of chat about this, what r some possible dupes??? Maybe it's better that I don't know what I'm missing out on. I would like a similar color & if it's a higher end LS, I'd like the quality to match the price. TIA

OK, thanks for the info. I'm all over blush and lips, but eye shadows require more effort for me to wear. I love wearing a full face of makeup, but it takes a lot of time for me to put on eye makeup since I wear glasses. I've been wearing glasses since the 3rd grade, so my vision is less than stellar. I have to do one thing at a time and then put my glasses back on to check that everything looks right. I'll check these shadows out.

That must be so annoying. I'm glad I have contacts as well as glasses. My vision isn't so bad I can't do my makeup without glasses, but I don't like eye makeup on me when I have glasses on.

I wish I had a link for you, but I recently read an interesting article on eye makeup tricks for people who wear glasses. It was on one of the big beauty and style websites. Eye makeup + glasses can be a very sexy look, you know. Guys love it, lol.

Funny, I was wearing Fashion Circuit on Saturday and my contacts were bothering me -- not related to the eye makeup -- so I put on my glasses and thought, this is a GREAT shadow for when I wear glasses. It is so pigmented and you could really see it through the lenses.

It's extremely annoying. I have to put my face right up against the mirror to see what I'm doing, lol. I wanted contacts so badly when I was growing up, but that all changed when I reached high school. I realized my eyes are too finicky to wear contacts, and by that time I just got used to my glasses. I guess I could get contacts now if I want, but I like my glasses too much.

Liba, please post the link if you find it! That information would be very useful.

I wore mine on Sat. & they were so easy to apply. You can use your fingers or a brush. I used a stiffer brush that I usually put my cream ESs on with. Next time I'm going to try going old school, that's right the ole' sponge tip applicators. I just want to see if they work as well as they did in the swatch pictures. Just know tho I found that I had to put a few layers on to get the desired intensity & to even out the cream. I really liked the end result tho. I'll post pictures in a couple days (hopefully).

If you find the article please post it! I might start liking glasses on me more if I find a way to wear makeup with it.

I wear glasses too. get an Ott Lite mirror. its badass and the 5x magnification is the perfect amount for doing makeup.

I have to get right up to the mirror to do my makeup too. It's a real pain, especially trying to manoeuvre the brush so close to the mirror. I wouldn't have laser surgery though, as I'm the biggest coward going

I have this same problem. I bought a nice magnifying mirror for my vanity so that I can actually see what I'm doing.
