Thank you very much. I'll give Phyrra a look.
Thank you. Let me know when you do.
Oops. I just got home. Going to bed soon. I do have some time off this week so I'll get to it soon.
Edit - I'm starting to think it may have been Puffin's Wife or Stephanie Nicole that showed both palettes. I don't really remember what they said about both of the palettes though. I think I watched videos from both of them but I think a few others too but I may have started with them.
BTW speaking of the Lila palette. I watched 2 videos this morning featuring it. One was Puffin's wife and the other was Tanya Feifel Rhodes. One said the palette was a cool palette but the colors didn't always look like you think. The other said it was purple but a warm palette. (I think it is warm and that the colors don't look like you think) I had already decided to not use the Lila palette since I was wearing pink/coral outfit. I figured I didn't want to wear purple but I started thinking about it and I remembered that I had put on Dragon's Bite thinking it was a green brown but it went on quite pink on me. Then I thought yes, the palette does have warm tones maybe I can do a look without going all out purple. I started using my new Wayne Goss eye set brushes and I really liked them. I kept fine tuning and adding to the look blending adding blending adding. I could have been on Youtube for all that blending. Any way. I really liked the look. A pinky coral vibe with a teensy bit of purple. The purple only came about because I wanted to deepen the crease a bit and used a smaller brush. Ooh these brushes are fun. I changed the whole look by changing the brush so there was a bit more purple than I originally wanted but I liked the look. So:
crease - Mac Soft Brown - I almost always use this. I like it and I just start with it and by the time I'm finished, I usually can make a decision about what colors or palette I want to use.
Cyclone on the lid
Nude Vino in a little bit above the crease but closer to the crease than the soft brown
Amara in the outer v but a bit more towards the middle of the eye in the crease
a pinch of Layla to deepen the outer v a bit more
Mac Uninterrupted to transition
Juneau brow highlight
Love the largest Wayne Goss eye brush for diffusing the edges of colors.
I really liked the look.
As far as comparing the Lila palette with the Purple Blue palette. I have both but I don't know if I can do that just yet. I did use the Lila palette twice but I just counted and only used 8 colors so far. I don't think just looking at the pans is enough so far at least 3 or 4 colors look different on my eye than what I thought they would look. Cyclone looks like a metallic pink/copper in the pan but it definitely has a pink coral duo chrome on the eye. I feel like it is a color I've seen before but I can't quite place it. I also feel like it is a color that may swatch the same but the duochromeness does not always translate to the eye. This one definitely does. I kept looking at my eye thinking is it pink? Is it coral? Copper? Was great because I was wearing a pink and coral print top today! I also feel Nude Vino looks like a plain old medium brown in the pan but it definitely looked deeper in my crease than I thought and had a strong purple tone to it that wasn't apparent in the pan, at least on my skin. Now comparing it to the 28, if we are just going by the pan the Nina's Orchid color looks similar one of the colors, Viola. But the textures look a bit different. There's one cool tone metallic purple in both palettes that look similar in the pan but formula's are different again. The Lila has 2 colors that look straight up hot pink in the pan and I don't see anything pink in the purple blue. Also, the rest of the purple colors in the purple blue are plum tones and quite warm to me. I do think the Lila has one plum metallic color but the other matte colors may have plum tones as well. The 28 palette only has 2 mattes on the purple side. The lila has 4 or 5 mattes.
I'm going on and on but it is just easier for me to give my impressions while I'm thinking about it. By tomorrow I may have forgotten it all. You would probably do better to wait for a review where someone has used all the colors so you know for sure.
. I wanted a 2 brushes one from Wayne Goss and the GN-10 from Chikuhodo but I removed them from my cart I will buy them later when I will have my new credit card.
