I am feeling the Blast O' Blue Lipstick and Eyeshadow for the club scene. I like all of the eyeshadows except the Going Bananas. It is not vibrant enough.

The Blast O'blue Lipstick would be great as a liner for the lip with gold or silver or lavender in the middle of the lip. That is a true party look.

Hey I talked to Kevin at the pro-store and he confirmed that the new pro colors will be stocked at the store next week. It's a yellow in there called Bright Sunshine.

EDIT:
I loved Vivacious l/s and wondergrass e/s. Didn't like Big T, I'm not much of a teal person, I though it looked like that Teal from the intense pallete or waternymph.

Firespot is absolutely beautiful on NW45. You have to try it. I love the C-Shock Eyeshadows also except for Going Bananas. It wasn't what I was hoping for. I have fallen in love with Big T and Eyepopping.

the blue lipstick actually looks really good if you put it over like a melon colored lipstick. i was looking at c-shock today and one of the MAC girls (alicia in h-ville, tn) had it on and it looked awesome.

I went to my mac nordstroms a medium black girl (ma) was wearing Go Bananas as a highlight and it was so gorgeous. She had perfect brows and this shadow really highlighted them and wasn't chalky at all, it was so pretty I got the shadow and i'm only an nc 30.

I'm NC42-43 as well and I love love love Firespot. I love that the gold doesn't overwhelm the orange, so the boldness of the color still shows up on darker skin. Plus, the orange isn't too brassy/yellowy. I have also worn it in the crease and all over.

One day I wore it with Chrome Yellow e/s. I put Chrome Yellow all over and then just dabbed Firespot in the outside corners. I wore Style on my cheeks and Moonbathe l/g (with no liner). The overall look was sunkissed, and I got a number of compliments.

Thanks honeebee for posting the color combo....I gotta try it...

Thanks to KeshieShimmer! I did this look this weekend…I tried gold dusk pigment and good as gold pearlizer as brow colors – both worked well. Blacktrack fluidline for upper and lower lining.

MUA did this on me
going bananas, eyepoping, big T and bang on blue

Today I’m wearing Bang on blue (inner eye), going bananas (eye lid), passionate (crease), carbon (outer v and lower liner). Bang on blue (lower liner).

I got all the eyeshadows ‘cept passionate (already have). Maccosmetics.com messed up my order and sent me a passionate es instead of romping – suppose to receive romping Tuesday. Hope so….

For those afraid of these bright colors, use them as “accent” colors at first until you get used to seeing the bright colors on your eyes and your skills increase. Although I’m 51, I’ve never been afraid of bright colors and can tone it up or down – whatever the occasion calls for…..As someone previously said, these colors were made for our darker skin tones – I’m NW45.

I'm totally loving this collection. I've been seeing lots of complaints about the color payoff, etc. I've haven't had any problems at all. I stopped by MAC yesterday and picked up:

Fab & Flashy e/s (3 other counters were sold out the first 2 days)
Vivacious l/s
Prep & Prime Lash (Makes it look like i'm wearing falsies)

Yesterday I wore:

Lid: Blue Peep f/l (base), Big T
Crease: Crimsonaire s/s, Romping & Purple showers.
Liner: Blue Peep & Penned
Overprint blush
Sugar Shock Lipgelee

I would've taken a pic but my camera is on the fritz.

I bought Big T, Romping, and Bang On Blue. I wore Romping and Bang on Blue next to each other with a little bit of mystical mist (super lightly) to transition the colors. I got a lot of compliments on it; it had a really 80s video look to it. I'm going back for Vivacious lipstick and Wondergrass e/s

The color payoff is even better, and I mean bright, bright, bright, if layer the products over a Sephora's white jumbo eye pencil or the white shadestick (can't recall the name right now). They really pop!

I agree, I really like to use fascinating e/k since its a white matte and doesn't change the finish. Overcast s/s, Frostlite f/l, White ccb are other great products.

I bought all of the eyeshadows because my husband told me, "yes, I like those; get al of them". When we came home, he wanted me to mix all of them. I used bang on blue and romping on the lid, going bananas as highlight, passionate as an outer shadow, and the teal color for waterline. I went to a party later that day and everyone asked, "Who did your makeup?" I also wore the blast o blue lipstick with vivacious on top us. I am NW45.

I thought about getting Froslite for that purpose, but I didn't like the way it was showing through with other colors. It changes them. How did Blue Peep work out as a base? I thought about getting Blue Peep and Royal Wink as bases, but I wasn't sold, so I am interested to hear how it worked for you. Fascinating e/k is a great idea, adding that to the wish list...
