C-Shock

[glittergoddess27]

Going Bananas is more yellow than Spring Up, but no not a hard bright yellow like Chrome Yellow. Romping kinda reminds me of Hepcat,.. But I bought it anyway,.. Will see how similar when I get them home. Eyepopping was a tad more yellowish and shimmery than Overgrown. Big T was more blue than Teal Piggie, Lighter than a Bluer Blue. I just gotta try them and to me the Passionant that they had on the displayer seemed a bit less pink than the Nocturnelle Release?? Going to compare them on Saturday when I get a makeover. I really like Lil Sizzler, but I didnt get a hold of Ambient when it was out. Sooo that all worked out okay.

Overall,.. I didnt come off too badly and I am so far happy with my C-Shock I just wish there were face charts on the site.

I swatched Big T with Nightbird from intense palette, they are pretty similar, Nightbird is just darker. Plus I don't like the texture of Big T. I think I will return my Big T and get Bang on Blue instead. I really like Romping and Going Bananas. Wondergrass swatched on my skin with Swimming, are almost the same, but Wondergrass looked brighter in the pan. So I might return that one, too. I don't know, I am not too happy with C-shock when I saw them, plus I know I won't wear them too much.

Is it just me or do the two greens look JUST LIKE chartreuse and kelly green pigment? Not Big T... that one was a little more distinct. I was disappointed with passionate because I thought it was going to be more RED but it is very pink to me

ah well.

 

[glittergoddess27]

I think Chartruese Piggie might be a bit less yellow than Eyepopping. I havent seen Kelly Green in person.

Yeah,.. I got my passionant from the Nocturnelle release and while I was hoping for a "red" shadow,.. it isnt close. Though it I do love it.

 

[thelove4tequila]

So it Going Bananas more of a highlight color? Or does it have enough color payoff to use like Chrome Yellow? I don't want CY because it is too much of a "wow" color for me. I'm thinking Going Bananas might be the right color for me but wondering if it is pigmented enough.

 

[glittergoddess27]

If you dont use a base it could be sheer enough to highlight with,.. but a little too yellow for that?? When I rub my finger over the top of it it truely is a banana color. LOL.

I saw C-shock last night, and picked up all of the shadows except Passionate, which I already have. I really love each and every one of them. Wondergrass is almost exactly like Swimming on me, but I wear that one so much that I bought Wondergrass anyway. I was not impressed at all with ANY of the lip stuff. I am NW15, and on me, Out to Shock was too cool, Blast O Blue made me look deathly, Vivacious looked similar, but a little lighter than Rocking Chick, Overrich looked almost NEON orange, and Pomposity was very plum and not something I would wear. I skipped the lip gelees too, and got 2 more tendertones that I wanted instead. I can see myself getting much more wear out of those.

The only thing I was really interested in from this collection was Overrich and I was disappointed in it as well. It looked awful on me. I ended up with nothing from this one.

My 3 must haves were

She-Boom Lip Gelee
Bang on Blue Eye Shadow
Big T Eye Shadow

This is coming from someone who loves vibrant colors though. The only reason I didn't want any of the other eye shadows that much was because they were all too similar to pigments I already have and love.

kelly green = wondergrass
chartreuse = eyepopping
romping = pinked mauve or accent red

plus I just got firespot from moonbathe and much prefer it to fab & flashy and I much prefer to golden lemon pigment to going bananas.

I am more of a gloss person than a lipstick person but I did get Out to Shock because I thought it would be a good base for the gelees I got (both She-Boom and Sugar Shock). Shockingly enough (pun intended

) Sugar Shock goes on VERY sheer. I was expecting more color from it. I am happy it is so sheer, though because it wouldn't be very wearable, otherwise... Unless, of course, you were going dramatic. It could easily be worn over a lipliner or lipstick for more drama.

So far I haven't tried Big T, but bang on blue is nice. My Rebelrock Blue pigment is still my fave, though. She-Boom gelee is nice too. It has a more opaque finish but is still nice and sheer. It adds a nice splash of color to the lips without looking overly done.

 

[lipshock]

I have Ambient lipgelee and Lil Sizzler. On me, they look different. Lil Sizzler seems to be a little bit more pigmented on me. Truthfully, I love lipgelees and I would've gotten it either way. Haha.

I went to the counter today, and looked at Out to Shock on the display, and it was clearly labeled as a Glaze on the tube label. I had never tried a Glaze before, but I liked the color and bought it without trying on. When I got out to the car to take everything out of the bag to look at my purchases, the box said Frost. I immediately thought they had given me the wrong lipstick - but sure enough, it's Out to Shock - and it's marked as a Frost on the box and label on the tube. Very odd that the one at the counter is labeled as a Glaze.

How is the pigmentation and texture of Fab and Flashy and Eyepopping?
Those are the two I wanted the most. I don't have bitter
or an orange like that one.I wonder if Fab and Flashy is anything
like the new orangey Urban Decay shade JONES?

 

[allThingsGirl]

pigmentation for eye popping is nice. although i think i prefer the nars rated r green to this because it is a little more shimmery and bright. fab and flashy is okay pigmentation but it doens't show up that well and is more subtle on me, nc40

C Shocking

I hear that there are some surprises, like the e/s being sheer in stead of vibrant ...
How do you feel now youve seen this collection in real life and are there must haves?

TIA

Which shadows are sheer? All the ones I've tried have been quite pigmented.

Re: C Shocking

i tried the going bananas and fab & flashy and they looked kind of chalky.. prob b/c my skin is kind of tan (nc43)..

the rest of the colors are great. good color payoff n i like the slight shimmer it has as opposed to just matte.

i'd say the must haves are big t and romping!

@ Joke - Just for oversight I've merged your thread, there has been quite some discussion on the quality of this collection in this thread and I'm sure other users would find your reviews helpful as well.

I havent seen this collection myself, but heard on MUA that it was rather dissapointing ... I would love to hear your oppinions

 

[glittergoddess27]

Fab and Flashy is very similar to UD's new release Jones,.. I think Fab & flashy is just the barest pinch more orange,.. a little more pigmented, you can tell with them both over eyebase,... I tried to take pics but they didnt come out. And that fact probably wont keep me from buying another fab and flashy,.. it seems I have backups of all the oranges?? Weird obsession with them? At this point i am still successfully resisting temptation.

See my swatches in the swatch thread for going bananas vs Spring up vs Gold dusk vs Trucco's Polkadot bikini a couple of Big T comparison and Wondergrass vs Trucco's Lovers lane.

I have had great success with pigmentation with all of them except Bang on blue,. I did notice however that the top of these shadows pick up the filmy layer from using and eye base really fast. So these have to be scraped from time to time,..

I think maybe I need to do that with Bang on Blue,... and try again,.. I have all the colors,.. I did find out that passionant is the same color as released previously,.. it just looks different when surrounded by the others colors,.. LOL. Romping is very different from Hepcat, way more purple than Stars N Rockets, and Has more blue tone than the regular line fuschia piggie. I am still on the fence with Eyepopping though,.. if you have overgrown,.. you may not need this one.
