I am really glad to be enabled on those Loreal dupes because they are a rare find being such good quality MU bought at the drug store. And it is crazy how often they have a BOGO at the Rite Aid, Walgreens and all those stores...I went in to get some cold medicine the other day and they had BOGO so I picked up Amber Rush and Endless Pearl. Oops...
OMG!! AMBER RUSH is my #1 LOVE (so far) from this line!! I use it ALL THE TIME as a "wash on the lid lightly up into the crease and go" look! Tell me how you like it when you try it!!!

Blacklit is a fantastic base for clarity mes!!!
Were you talking about that earlier in this thread, or was that someone else?

I am going to wear this combo tomorrow for sure at this huge rock 'n roll bbq, with a little Dark Dare to wing out and shade under the eyes!!! I just painted my nails with China Glaze Surfin' For Boys, which is an awesome match with Party Parrot, but I might go contrasty and wear Heroine on the lips instead.

I just tried it yesterday so it might of been someone else. I am loving the formula of these! I have 7 colours and am contemplating more! What do you think of them?

The neutrals didn't do much for me - 'wanted to wait on the pressed pigments for that. The brights are mostly amazing. I'm totally in love with the 4 I have: Blacklit, Dynamo, Infra-violet and Fashion Circuit. I can't say I have a #1 favorite of these, but I think I'll have to BU Blacklit - it's becoming a weekly standard.

I tried Clarity over it today and man, that IS a beautiful combo, especially since my Clarity is mostly light colors. I put Blacklit just on the lid, not up into the crease, then applies Clarity dry over it, blending that into the crease and upwards. That was nice just as it was, but then I used Dark Dare EDES under the eyes and winged out from the outer corners of the upper lids. Gorgeous, and it lasted all day without any smearing or fading at a broiling hot, packed bbq.

Yeah the brights drew me in too! I can't wait for the pressed pigments and contour collection- loving the look of the brush in that collection too! I am contemplating going back for brilliantly lit cause the mua was wearing it as a wash of colour on the lid with fashion circuit as a liner underneath and it looked fab. Also loving love power at the moment- great base for alot of my pink,plum and purple looks. Might even get a bu as there doesn't seem to be alot of product in the pot...

They are part of the face & body collection. They are skin toned colours with a pearl finish.

I received my shadows today and I am IN LOVE with the formula! They were a little different to what I expected but I can see why people like to poke and prod them. My Brilliantly Lit was dislodged from the pan but was simple to push back in and squish around. I was super impressed with Infra-violet with the amazing colour payoff, it has definitely become my favourite straight away. These are now in Australia for $35 each

I picked up Brilliantly Lit, Fashion Circuit and Infra-violet

Thank you for clearing that up...I can relax now. I thought there was going to be a collection of pressed pigments for EYES. Def less excited about skin tones, but I'm sure I'll rally and find a way to fall in love with these as well :)

So far I tried Electoplate and Brilliantly Lit. I really liked the teensy teeny microglitters. No Fall Out. These creased on me, even with a Paint as a base, but that was to be expected. Brilliantly Lit wasn't as vibrant in vivo as in the pot, but maybe I needed to cake on more layers. The problem with that strategy is the more layers, the more creasing for this crinkly, wrinkled haggly eyelid. But they are worth it because these are shimmery glitter colors that don't migrate and are subtle. I don't look like an old bat trying to rock the tweener glitter make up. Also, these didn't fade for me, they were going strong a lot longer than I thought based on the performance of other creamy e/s products from MAC in the past (I am looking at you, Metal X)

I am considering going back for Fashion Circuit.

I layered Silvergull over Electroplate and used Industrial pearlglide--loved this combo. I am wanting to try Chrome Yellow over Brilliant Lit next.

Try them without a paint pot base. Somehow p/ps are just awful under these - makes them crumble up and sort of smush around when you try to apply them!

They will smooth out your lid texture just applied by themselves on their own, and won't crease that way either. I've also used them over prep & prime vibrancy eye and they're fine that way too.

I am on day 2 of using these and i am in LOVE!!!!!

I have bene using just my Lime Crime primer and no base and had no creasing, super easy to blend and great colour pay off. Im getting 8+ hrs wear easy. I also love using my 242 with them and the putty like formula being left with imprints when I go for colour. Really glad I got these, its a nice change in my collection. Almost makes me want to invest in more but I really have enough eyeshadows to last a lifetime!
