Eyeshadow Shade Similarities

[Glitziegal]

I have just got back into wearing purple shades. I have Parfait Amour , Beautiful Iris and Sugarlily

How does Little Minx differ. I can't get to a store so only have the website swatches to judge by.
Has anyone got a photo of little minx with any of the others? Or can you tell me if this is worth investing in.

Thanx muchly

I haven't seen it either, but I read in a review on MUA that it was very similar to whim, the purple mineralize e/s from rococo.
I found a picture on MUA:

That is a brilliant site- Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

I will now have to start another wishlist

Little Minx s*ck! It's not enough pigmented and doesn't stick on the lids. I exchanged it for Naturally Eccentric stuff.

here's a pic of beautiful iris: (sorry its soo big!)

and here's little minx:

being a velux pearl.. beautiful iris comes on like butter! its a bright purple.. and little minx is darker.. (almost gray) has a grayish purple tone to it- more purple though if that makes sense.



//edit by mod : picture exceeds size limit

I agree with Pretty Kitty about Little Minx. I was so underwhelmed with it. Parfait Amour however is wonderful.

 

[mspixieears]

Oh goodie, I liked the look of Little Minx but sounds like I might not need it. I have yet to play with my Parfait Amour, but wanted to declare how much I love Beautiful Iris.

I do have crappy eyesight...am I the only one who sees slight green duochrome/iridescende in BI? *ponders*

 

[samtaro]

I think Little Minx is a little too grey for my taste, so if that doesn't strike you, I'd pass on it

Frighteningly Similar MAC Eye Shadows

I thought i'd start a thread on this because I couldn't find one, but i've seen some posts comparing colors that seem to be very close. I just bought 3 colors myself that are really close, now i wish i'd only gotten one of them...
steamy
surreal
shimmer moss

and also freshwater and belle azure look very close to me..

Do you have any comments on this before i spend all my money?!

 

[lah_knee]

freshwater IS belle azure. its just a repromote basically, in a shiney gold pot

steamy and shimmermoss ARE similar but i find steamy to have slight more pigmentation and has a little more blue in it. not a huge difference but ya

 

[Kristen]

Yeah.. I remember that when I was buying shimmermoss. I picked up steamy like 8x when I was trying to find shimmermoss. I bought shimmermoss just because it was a vp

 

[martygreene]

There are a good number of close, but not quite similar shadows. Particularly if you take into account limited edition shades.

 

[kare31]

Stencil and Samoa Silk. Samoa Silk looks lighter in the pan, but they are dead on the same when applied.

LM was too close to Madam B. Plum and other colors I have, so I returned it. Now if it had been VP formula, that would have been an entirely different story!

 

[procrastinator]

I have Parfait Amour and I looove it! It's light purple, but with some blue duochrome in it. Not very pigmented, so you kind of have to pack it on a bit, but it's worth it! ;D

 

[72Cosmo]

These are 2 lipsticks that I think are too similiar to own both, Euroflash and Flitter. They're a little different but not enough to need both.

 

[Sanne]

if you look at the macsite, you'll see that steamy and surreal have the same discription. the only difference is that surreal is a little lighter and less pigmented (steamy is for daredevils

)

I noticed that as well.

As said above the Belle Azure e/s from the Bell Azure collection is the SAME as Freshwater. The only difference is the gold pot, lol.
