I recently got one from the Sephora Brand collection called Preppy Look. It's a navy blue matte and has great color payoff. $12. I find the matte shadows from this collection are better than some of the shimmery ones.

I thought plumage is like a blue greenish tinge color where as Prussian is more navy (from the MAC line)

I almost always go to counter at Bloomies, Lenox. Before that I went to the counter at the Belk at Phipps, but that counter has closed. I really don't like the people at the Perimeter store to be honest. I only go there for exclusives and Back2 MAC. They are sometimes rude, but generally lack luster. I do like Niema (sp: black girl with locks) at Perimeter, she used to be at the Belk MAC. And I do my best to avoid the Macy's counters at Lenox. They are really busy, and maybe that is why the customer service is so poor there. Plus they run out of stuff quickly. The Bloomingdales is a lot slower so I can chat with the MA's and don't feel rushed. I wish I had a Nordstrom card because I would shop there instead; racking up points at Nordstrom is more useful than at Bloomingdales, lol.
I DEFINITELY need to switch up my plan to be more like yours. The thing about me though, is that I'm the type of person who mostly wants to be left alone while I swatch. I don't wanna be hovered over, and I don't want a suggestion unless I solicited it. I usually come with a list in my head (or if it's long, on my mobile), and swatch then give them my final choices when I'm ready. I find that every.single.time the MAs sell to me, I end up returning whatever they talk me into. I'm sure they'd rather me just not buy something than screw up their numbers on the back end.

On the other hand, I'm really annoyed when they don't know their sh*t. For example,

*I've spoken about this before but I was (surely unreasonably) annoyed that when I as for Plumage shadow and pronounce it correctly, they look at me crazy and then "correct" me by saying "plum-midge" back to me. Seriously?


* When I pick up an LE item that THEY have out on the floor and when I ask for it, they tell me that they're out without even bothering to look for the item in the drawer. When I INSIST, of course the item is there. Stop being a lazy yatch and get this sale!

*This weekend, I went to make a return ( the ONLY reason I went back to this counter) and instead of just getting my money back, I opted to get a 188 instead. Okay, there were 4 of them at the counter. One of them was doing a demo, and the other three were talking w/each other at the register when I approached. when I asked for the 188, all of them heard me. I had to clarify that it was a brush, and then direct them to it. I mean, come on.

Of course i could go on with my gripes but this ain't the right place, LOL. I rarely, if ever have these problems at the freestanding, and yes, I love Niema, as well. She's really good about holding on to LE items or digging around for stuff for me, too. there's also this MA in there that is so cute. I know fish ain't his dish, but he's nice to look at, nonetheless.

I also like that little secondary counter in the same Macy's that pretty much goes ignored. When i thought that i lost my So Ceylon, they came through with a backup for me... never had any annoyances there, either.


But I'm gonna have to check out the Bloomie's counter soon, maybe I'll run into you!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot! I just got Rock and Republic's shadow in Denim... it's a good navy as well. Not quite as opaque as China Blue and Navy that I mentioned above, but it's well pigmented and a lot easier to work with than both of them.
