I ended up leasing a too-expensive apartment for this next year at UT so I'm thinking I need to save my money now.

I will probably end up with Superwatt (why is the neutral so exciting?) and Fashion Circuit. I could see using them in quick looks. I'm unsure about Electroplate because in some swatches now it looks very silver and meh when before I had thought it had a bit of a brown undertone.

I preordered mine from a counter and they should have shipped on Friday. I am sort of dreading to see them now. The MUA at the counter I ordered from said that theymight come "cracked" because some came to them like that but that they "smoosh" back in place easily. Good Lord...I hope the heat here doesn't completely melt them in transit.

Hmm, interesting photo - yikes!

I picked up Infra-Violet and Superwatt on Friday. LOVE both colors, but I haven't gotten to wear them yet so I can't comment on that. I swatched Pure Flash and Love Power because I was curious about them too, but passed on Love Power because Neo Nebula MES is similar (more purple-toned, which I prefer). Pure Flash is haunting me so I might go back and get it. I feel like it's such a dupeable color (it actually looked similar to Invincible Light MES) but I really liked the way it applied. Oh, first world problems....

the shadow won't break as its 50% water so you all know. but if its not store flat the product could sift around int he pot. all you do to fix it is give it a little smash and it back to normal. these do need to stay closed when not in use so they dont dry out
That might be the answer to T's "broken" example of blacklit.

2.1 gramm and 50% water, I'm a bit dissapointed.

It's funny but I used one of the Armani ETK shadows today and unscrewed it while it was flipped over and the whole shadow popped out! Luckily I was able to flip it back over and the shadow went back in but it scared the H out of me. I know the formula is different on these shadows though.

I was just thinking what would be the difference between having them shipped and picking them up from the counter as the ones at the counter were shipped there as well. So I guess even if you buy at the counter, you may have this problem. My lone Superwatt looks fine.

Blacklit definitely looks worse for wear in Temptalia's photo. Eeek. I had already decided to pass on all of these because I just wasn't feeling them and I splurged a little too hard on theBalm's Hautelook sale, which should tied me over until By Request is released.

On a note about the Infallible shadows: I've been searching my drugstores for the past month or two and cannot find Forever Pink anywhere! Can anybody possibly do a CP for me? This area is kind of touch-and-go for drugstore cosmetics, which is why I never really bother trying to hunt stuff down. If anyone can find one to spare, please PM me!


I do want to see T's swatch of Brilliantly Lit - that's the only shadow that I've been interested in since the dawn of the color story!!

I saw it the last time I was at Target (or maybe CVS?). If I see it later today, I'll send you a PM.

It's funny but I used one of the Armani ETK shadows today and unscrewed it while it was flipped over and the whole shadow popped out!  Luckily I was able to flip it back over and the shadow went back in but it scared the H out of me.  I know the formula is different on these shadows though. I was kind of thinking fingers might be the way to go but that can get messy.  I'm still looking for the right brush too.  Maybe one of the duo fiber eye brushes but I'm not sure if they are stiff enough to pick up product. I was just thinking what would be the difference between having them shipped and picking them up from the counter as the ones at the counter were shipped there as well. So I guess even if you buy at the counter, you may have this problem.  My lone Superwatt looks fine.
Actually, I don't find it to be messy at all. If you use one finger to apply the color to the lid, you can use a 217 to blend and just wipe that finger off and apply the next color. I didn't find it messy when I was applying them. It wasn't hard to remove from my fingers or anything. That's just my experience, though. I'm on my way back to Nordstroms. Think I'm going to exchange Dynamo and Brilliantly Lit. BL I can actually do w/o b/c I have a yellow mufe aqua cream. Dynamo is nice, but I need a bit more bang for my buck. I'm going to see if they still have Blacklit and probably Fashion Circuit.

I want that one so much but I will have to search for it when I come back off holiday! I only saw swatches of these a couple of days ago - no clue how I missed them!

I don't think Forever Pink was released in the US. That's the tricky thing about these colors. Some were only released in certain countries and some have different names for the same shade depending on where you live. (For example in Belgium there is a shade called Purple Obsession but in the States the same color is called Perpetual Purple. And Belgium's Permanent Kaki is US's Golden sage.) It can get a little confusing. If anyone sees Forever Pink in the States please let me know too! It's supposed to look very close to Sin from the UD Naked Palette, and I'd love to pick one up!! Good Luck tacking it down duckrodeo! If you can find Pink Sapphire it was part of the US Summer collection and is a really pretty light pink as well. If I could get a look at Forever Pink in person, I'm wondering if PS is the US dupe for FP??

Ahhh Pink Sapphire is what I'm looking for! I couldn't remember the name so I tried to google it and Forever Pink is the name that popped up, but now that I remember I am certain it was called Pink Sapphire . I saw a display at Ulta, then a few displays at other places and the pink color was sold out at all of them! This was a couple of weeks ago, and last night I noticed the displays are showing 5 new fall shades. So I'm sad I missed out on the light pink shade :( Thanks nayadine! I did come across that on ebay and I'm contemplating buying it!

I got Blacklit. Fashion Circuit was sold out, but she said they'd be getting more in soon. I think I'll forget about that one, though. It's not necessary. I played around with these some more. I like them best on the lid. I don't really like them in the crease at all. Blending, for me, leads to less color and more glitter left behind. Not cute. So, I'll use three babies on the lid and another shadow in the crease.

Oh good you found it. I was just about to post that Forever Pink is Pink Sapphire. They are the same color. Forever Pink was the name used in other countries but in the U.S. it was renamed Pink Sapphire. Someone posted a spreadsheet on another site with the names used in various countries and the corresponding U.S. names. I bookmarked the site. It is fairly useful even though it doesn't have the Cannes colors on it yet. I don't know who created it though.
