From the swatches Silverstruck looks like OPI's Chicago Champagne Toast (atleast to me)

Oh me too on the Softwash Grey. I am always swapping for samples of this one! I like samples. I usually swap for 1/2tsps and press them. It gives me a chance to have a lot of different colours, some that I might not use as often and others which I then have to hunt for full jars of. I wish I had gotten a backup of Your Ladyship, so I hope they repromote it because I just adore it!
well I am back from the wedding! Yay I survived!
Although my updo didn't even make it across the street from the hair salon to the hotel before it was falling out! We spent the day pinning our updos back together as more pieces came loose, so I was not a happy camper and they will be hearing from me on Monday!
I managed to get everyone's makeup done before the other girl showed up so my precious babies were protected. The limo was 20 mins late so my friend was panicked, she was late for her wedding and we just kept saying "no wedding has ever started on time in the history of man don't panic" but all in all we had a great day, the weather was just perfect and it was the right time of day that everywhere we went the lighting was excellent. Now I am off to bed so I can sleep for a week!

hey kelly! glad to hear the wedding went alright, i was wondering how the whole makeup-other-person-using-yours was going to go.
well today I should be staying offline and studying for my final exam thats wednesday after work! so really, need to get a lot of it done today b/c i don't know how much ill be into studying during the week after work! so excited to get this class finished, but itll be so tiring and kind of unnerving. I *think* I know where I'm going ie campus wise (its a college campus vs. the universities i've gone to here in winnipeg) so that'll be great. but ill try and be early!
then next weekend will be utter awesomeness freedom, as I'll be essentially FINISHED MY DEGREE, have nothing to study for. Wooohoo I will finally play rock band! And I'm off early on friday (@ 2) so I'm thinking I'll trek to the university to buy my textbook for my additional class i'm taking in the fall, and then i may just go to the mac store. finally! I've not been there since it opened in...June? July? well its all the way across town and i've not had anything I've wanted to get, but come friday i may just treat myself to some mac store stuff....thinking like maybe a pigment jar? or some palettes.
but yea, I was chatting with Samantha about this....does anyone else find it kind of annoying or not like using depotted palettes?
I think I'm slightly weird (slightly? LOL maybe more) as I prefer and seem to go for the individual pots as I put on my makeup in the morning. I just don't seem to get the "eeeee" makeup satisfaction of putting stuff on from these depotted palettes. its so weird and hard to explain, i think i should try again.
my issue is labeling it. I prefer quads b/c you can see into them, vs the freaking 15 pan palettes, for me its like russian roulette and i have to open all 4 of mine to figure out which palette contains what.
or maybe ill just buy a crap load of quads, and move all my stuff into them and sell the 15 pan palettes. or just get over it. lol those are my options!

Good luck hun! I prefer palettes only because I can compare all of them side by side, while I may initally think one colour, when I open my palette I may decide on a shade lighter or darker, or something else completely. Also I heard from an MA at my store that in the fall they are coming out with 15 palettes that havea clear cover like the quads. If you want to label your palettes, Enkore has a tutorial on youtube about how you can do it.

I'll have to wait for everyone else to post theirs on facebook as my camera batteries were dead, although the only pics i have seen of me so far are one where I am falling out of my shoes (they got stuck in the soft ground) and one where I am doing the rockstar, horned hand tongue out thing so....hopefully someone else got some good ones!

I refuse to depot-I am opposed to it. I will buy pro pans, but I prefer the individual pots. I am a clutz with my makeup and if I drop my makeup bag (which happens often) with individual pots I only risk a couple products, whereas with the palette I would risk more. Not to mention I am very OCD and require EVERYTHING to be in their original packaging (well not boxes, but you get the picture).
I wish I could have tomorrow off work, but I get today, Tuesday, and Thursday. Today is nice since I just get to rest-which is what I needed. Hopefully the rain doesn't come in til later.

I FINALLY got to see CoC and Overrich, and luckily my counter hadn't run out of anything, yet. From Overrich I got Blonde's Gold (I got the second to the last one!) and Museum Bronze. I can't believe how fantastic the texture on these are! The only other one I swatched was Antique Green. It was pretty, but I'm kinda on the fence about it, so I figured I'd better just wait until it's at a CCO. I didn't even swatch the others because I didn't want to create anymore lemmings. I'll just wait until those arrive at CCOs as well.
From CoC I got Kirsch mattene (LOVE!! and also the second to the last one), So Scarlet, and Lightly Ripe l/s and Cherry Blossom, Cult of Cherry, and Liquer l/g. I was going to get Rich and Ripe, but for some reason the multi-colored pearl really bothered me, so I passed. I forgot to look at Blooming blush and I've decided to check out Jampacked, as well, so I'll be going back later this week for those.

Karin you got some good stuff! I also love the texture of the new pigments! They are so blendable with hardly any fall out. I just dislike that the jars were 3/4 full! You will have to tell me how you like Liquer because I was debating that lipglass forever.
Adina glad to see you pop your head in!
Hope you are having a fun weekend with your boy!
Hannah good luck studying!
Hi to everyone else!!
I just got my lazy butt out of bed about an hour ago. Sundays are supposed to be lazy right?!?
I seriously have not gotten up the guts to depot yet even though I know that most of you have said a million times that it isn't that hard. I seriously wish I could just pay someone to do it for me. I currently have four 15 pan palettes and a few days ago I opened up one and my beloved melody eye shadow was shattered! I don't know how that happens since it just sits in a storage bin flat all of the time. So, so sad. If I am so upset with that think of how it would be if I had a depotting accident. I don't know how I would make it through!
Just kidding but I am still seriously scared!

I have used white electrical tape and sharpies to create labels for my palettes, which saves me from going through the six of them one by one til I find the colour I'm looking for. That would be madness!
And Kelly, you know you want to share the hotness of you goofing off!

I have been so bored today that I made a list of all of the things I WANT from the upcoming collections through Red She Said and it totaled $408 without tax! I am going to need to bring that down a bit. I am going to have to start saving now. I wish that I liked the shadow suites a bit more but none of the colors really stick out to me except for shallow v deep. What do you all want from the upcoming collections?

Damn..you're on the ball! I'm still obsessing over what I passed on from CoC...rbella you are horrible...I'm going back for Blooming and Liquer...
Ummm...I definitely want a few things from Ungaro, Manish Arora, a few of the Cremesheen lippies, all the liners from Suite Array and maybe one shadow, and then there's Red She Said....damn. It's horrible, I don't save, I just go. BUT I do usually get an idea of how much I'll spend before hand with the product and swatch pics.

From Ungaro:
Paintpot (22.60$)
Also, I'm interested in the beauty powder, one or both of the CCB, two of the shadows and the see thru lip colour, but probably will pass due to lack of funds after CoC.
Suite Array:
-Wolf liner ($17 + tax?)
-Bankroll liner
Manish Arora:
-Everything! (How much is that again? Ha)
Sheer Minerals & Mineral Expansion:
-Soft and Gentle ($30 + tax)
-So Ceylon ($30 + tax)
-Gold Deposit ($30 + tax)
Red She Said:
-Beauty Powder Blushes
Will have to see re: other collections in between and giftie sets with Red She Said.
Plus, I still plan to buy a few other odds and ends, such as Signed, Sealed, Post Haste, Cellopink lipgelee, any amplified creams that show up ToD'd, and some half jars of pigments, liquidlast liner and a paintpot from a certain someone.
Oh, and I totally need foundation some day, too. HA.
