I used to take 30 min in the morning to get ready now it's more like 50 min! I try to pick 3 colours only for e/s a light, mid and dark and do a simple smokey look, socket look or if I'm really lazy a colour wash with loads of mascara and a bright lippie. It helps if I pick my colours the night before, my biggest dilema in the morning it which colours to wear!

My hair is pretty easy too so I either put it back or chuck in a head band and away I go.

I think I'm only going to look at the shade sticks maybe Butternutty, Lemon Chiffon or Penny and def going to get Aquavert e/s and probably Lollipop Lovin. The l/g don't interest me at all, they look very sheer and I think the tri colour thing is more of a marketing gimmick than serving any real purpose, just my opinion.

Ahh seems the general consensus to put the hair out of the way haha. Too bad for me because I cut my hair to make it easier to handle @_@ Perhaps the wrong idea haha
Thanks for the name! I knew it started with an S!

Yeah I agree about the tri colours that it's more of a gimmick than anything because the colours will eventually mix into one gloss *shrugs* I think they are cute though!

thanks MrsMay... i think i might go get CakeShop..

i already have stars n rockets.. and club is on its way... ^^

i used to spend 15 minutes to do myy whole face just because i didn't really use eyeshadows... as for now, i spend at least 25mins for MU. i always do myy eye first.. and i always get over-excited and end up having no time left to put on mascara (yea, mascara is the last thing on myy list) and lipglass..

i hear you, DarkOrchid.. i cut myy hair short cause i thought it would take less time to style.. not to mention i have a semi-pob (posh's bob) hairstyle which means i HAVE to blowdry it every morning to get that nice bob shape..

Ok, I've been, I saw, I swatched, I conquered.

This should probably go in the haul thread but anyhoo...

I could possibly be bias with my opinion of GDs as I am looking for a peachier colour at the mo, so that cancelled out Moon River, Love Rock and Intenso. These didn't really appeal to me anyway. Moon River looked too shimmery and lacked the amount of colour i like.

Light to Dark was too brown for what I wanted, having said this, I think it would ok for contouring/bronzing, but you couldn't go over board with it or else it would be quite disco ball-ish (and I prefer a matte contour).

I ended up getting Earth to Earth.

The MA put E2E on one cheek and HK Fun & Games on the other and they were both suprisingly very similar. I preferred E2E tho, primarily because it had a little shimmer. I was really suprised when the MA put E2E on, perhaps I was expecting to be lit up like a christmas tree - alas, I wasn't!

So I was well behaved in the end - only 1 GD and some brush cleaner!

Good job Cats Meow

I've been looking at the swatches for SS ... and I think now nothing really strikes me @_@ I'm sad the tri glosses are so sheer. I thought that they would be pretty good colours since there are three glosses in there! :S Might have to wait and see them in person before I write them off. The shadesticks do look yummy though!!!

^^Me too... I ended up writing off any desire for the triglosses and everything else in the collection - for me anyway - is totally passable!

Pursebuzz has SS swatches up. I am glad I ordered Red Velvet and Cake Shop s/s. Stars n Rockets and Club eyeshadows POP with those s/s underneath. I might get Penny s/s as well, when it arrives to my local store.

SS looks great but I probably wont get any of the stuff. I've been spending too much money. I spent $200AU at All cosmetics wholesale the other night and just received my first order from there. The stuff seems authentic but I only ordered 2 mac products

The colours do pop with the shadesticks as a base but I have oily lids so I think I'll have too much trouble with creasing. Might pass on the collection too - GASP! I originally wanted everything haha
