Highly Charged. Opened the box and found it like this. It removes VERY easily from the pan!! However, it's very moldable. Sort of like clay, therefore it was easily fixed!
Wow! Look at that, 13.00 isn't bad. Ok interesting about the shadows.

CVS online has the infallibles for 25% off but you have to spend $49 to get free shipping.

I had talked myself out of getting Highly Charged but now I see Chinablaq's pic and I want it! But I will wait to either see it in person or wait till I finally get Superwatt.

Reminds me a bit of Entremauve or Grape!

Like Richelle I spent the last few days convincing myself I don't need Highly Charged . Definitely back on my list.

I went and swatched yesterday. After an intense session of going back and forth, I settled on four: Electroplate, Pure flash, Superwatt and Love Power (Pink one??). I could only afford two (well really I didn't want to buy anything but I couldn't resist) and so I hummed and hawwed. Thoughts: Love power...sooo pretty but once I saw it in direct light it turned this pink color kinda like swish which I loathe. I skipped.

Credit: Temptalia.com Swish is third from left, second from right. Pure flash: Love that it is a mix of pigment and flashy sparkles that catch the light. WANTED IT SO BAD but convinced myself I would have a dupe (I am thinking one of the MUFE AC I think #13). It is also dupe-able in terms of the base color but still so pretty. The MUA said she used it on a lot of people as highlight on the face and under the brow as well as a base color (it would be killer with a soft purple-tinged brown like shale in the crease) - I MAY JUST HAVE TALKED MYSELF INTO IT! Superwatt: This one I thought would be really dupeable but it really isn't. Such a unique shade amongst mac's many golden-tinged shadows. I ended up getting this one. (No-brainer for me: I LOVE GOLDS AND SILVERS!) Electroplate: Very unique. Nothing quite like it in the mac perm range. I ended up with this one as well. The MUA went into great lengths informing me that these can tilt and break and you can just smoosh them back together. I found that if my hands were a little damp (read sweaty or just cleaned) I couldn't open the jars (I told her so) and that it was a problem for me because I have arthritis and so they are not overly user-friendly. I was shocked that it was so little content for the price point which is why I DON'T NEED PURE FLASH! End of my life story.

I swatched Highly Charged and almost got it but it is very similar to the MUFE Aqua Cream I just got and I like that formula better.

I love SNR!

I have this palette and LOVE it.

I also have Infra Violet. It is nothing like the shadow in the EL palette. It has a touch more purple and a beautiful sheen. Think along the lines of Stars N Rockets.

checked out the collection today (the counter is on point with everyone else now, lol) and I love blacklit. The glitter is so pretty in it. I am wearing it now to test for creasing. I don't feel like its super smooth to apply, but I have oily lids so if it's going to stay put, I can work with it.

Are you wearing a primer or did you apply it straight? In any case, let us know how it goes.

I picked up Highly Charged on Friday and was going to get Blacklit as well because they look GREAT layered over each other. I found this out when I was swatching and accidentally rubbed my Highly Charged swatch finger over an existing swatch of Blacklit. Unfortunately for me most of these were sold out at Nordstrom's. I got the last Highly Charged and I got that only because the MUA had eagle eyes.

So far so good! I applied it over the NARS smudge proof primer. Blacklit is holding up pretty good. Its drier than the others and my take on that is its because the other ones are frosty and metallic, whereas Blacklit is matte with glitter. The glitter is multicolored and that makes it complex. I love that. Blacklit is great on its own and as a base, which is what I will use it for mostly. I also used my fingers. The texture of these shadows is interesting; but the colors just so formulary to me. I guess when you buy a lot, it's all the same after a while. I appreciate the high wattage of the colors though. They are bright, theatrical, and will make any lover of bright colors happy! I think they will look great in photos and on stage.

The glitter is contained by the shadow, there is some fallout because glitter does that naturally, but its not obnoxious. I imagine with a spray of fix plus or a mixing medium, you would be good to go.

. It does look similar. MUFE #26 is the one you are talking about right? I think MUFE is the better product too. it's creamier and certified waterproof. The promo pics are so deceiving on these. I was expecting something the same circumference as a 20.00 Mac shadow, like the peacocky pro-long wear or ED ones. But they are not. Their size is in between a regular MAC shadow and the larger ones.
