Convince me!

I'd actually reccomend Clair De Lune and Phloof! as highlight colors. I've never used NL or Shroom so I can't give inputon those (sorry), but if it's highlight colors, definitelly check out CDL and Phloof!. CDL is an LE eyeshadow so you'll have to try eBay/CCO/or a trade possibly, but it really is fab. Phloof! is a perm color (I believe) and is repromoted in the Ungaro line which you can probably still find at counters and it is still up on the site last I checked. Phloof! is a shiney color but I find it's a nice sheen, not that odd sparkle disco ball look.
CDL is a light, light, light creamy color. It's not too bright and it gives that nice all over lid glow. HTH

i bought naked lunch and I think ive used it twice.
Ricepaper ftw!

I love Ricepaper dearly <3 I mostly use it as highlight with looks using bronze, golds, or browns.

Naked Lunch, Grand Entrance & Shore Leave are my favourite (i was acutally thinking today that I should track down a backup of shore leave)..

I find ricepaper too gold... I rarely use it..

I'm an NW25 if that helps...

i have ricepaper and i thinks its meh. i dont really like it and i dont know why. but shroom i love! its perfect, not too white, not too matte, not too shimmery, and you can layer it on you should def. get it!

Ahh, I challenge you to find something that looks better with those purples. Shroom as many have mentioned is a satin and is great for a highlight when you are using a lot of shimmer or outright glitter on your eye. It pulls everything together but keeps you from looking like a disco ball....unless that is the look you are going for. Vapour is my all time, hands down, can not live without, and have bought more times than I can count highlight/all over shade and it just doesn't get the love it deserves.

Vapour is so pretty

I also have Ricepaper and Shroom and get about the same use out of both.

Phloof! is awesome! Mine's got a huge ring in the middle... definitely my most used eyeshadow. Fantastic highlight color!

Same here. I just started and Naked Lunch was one of the first I bought. I use it as a hightlight mainly or inner corner color. It's kinda pinkish on me so when I wear purples I use that as a highlight. Phloof reminds me of it also. I love them both.

I just saw that someone else mentioned phloof. I guess I should have read all the replies, lol

While I Love Naked Lunch with my pinks and browns, and used to use it with purples.. lately I've been really liking Shore Leave with the purples... There's just something about it that I love everytime I see it used with purple....

Not at all!
The Vanilla e/s is a satin finish, a pale off-white with tiny golden flecks (that don't show up on the skin). Vanilla p/m is a shimmery cream that flashes pink and gold.
Both are definitely worth having, IMO.

 

[sambibabe]

I can't convince you either! I am NC20 and use Vanilla e/s and Nylon e/s everyday!

I had Shroom a long time ago and gave it away, I don't think it worked with my skin tone. I think it probably has some yellow in it and anything with yellow totally clashes against my skin.

I use Vanilla pigment, Solar White and sometimes Ploogf! to highlight and I recommend these three.

 

[n_c]

I use Brule, Ricepaper, Naked Lunch and Shroom...love them all...different uses according to colors! So sorry no help.

 

[xoleaxo]

i'm another Ricepaper lover <3.. but i've been wanting to try naked lunch for a looong time! Vanilla is too matte/flat of a highlight for me, and phloof!/shore leave are way too frosty! maybe i'll try shroom.

 

[happy1234]

I just ordered shroom off ebay.

My very first Mac eyeshadow.

Think I will go for Vanilla pigment too or should I go for a palette and fill it up with my own shades - decisions decisions.
