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

also belle azure is a smidge widge diffrent from freshwater. they LOOK THE SAME IN THE PAN but on skin its another story, Belle Azure Eye Shadow is a clean electric blue with pearl, and Freshwater is more of a sky-blue. Belle Azure is also a bit lighter and more silvery/metallic than Freshwater while Freshwater is much more dense in formula.

At least to my eye, Hepcat & Plum Dressing are a bit more pink/fuschia toned than Leisure Time.

Can someone do me a BIG Favour?????

i recently got ahold of Unorthodox.its GAWJUSSS!! can someone compare it to that one buttersilk e/s from the High Tea quad, Sweet Tea and Pollen from Madame B? i know Pollen will be much much more sparkly but im looking at the colour hue really....if you want something in return maybe i can swatch something side by side for you

(I'm merging this with the eyeshadow color similarity thread)

If I recall correctly, Unorthodox is much yellower than buttersilk, and a bit darker than pollen. Buttersilk has a slight greenish tinge that unorthodox does not have.

Beaded is close... not quite as bronze but it's pretty close, at least on me.

I'm trying to find something similar to Girl Meets Boy from the Tempt Me quad.

Pollen and Buttersilk are a lot more similar looking to me, pollen is by far not as pink as the photo is showing, at least to me. I don't have unorthodox to compare them to however.

I can't really compare it to anything, but it's really nice...

And i don't like Parfait Amour... I love the color, but it doesn't show up with me, even with a base

Grr darnit

I completely agree. I just got LM and I love it. I use it for a smokey eye and it is gorgeous. I have Plum from Madame B and I freaking hate it. It just sits there. As for Parfait Amour, I swapped it for Au Contraire and couldn't be happier. PA just never looked that great on me. It was too sheer.

I'm wondering if Old Gold pigment is at all close?

Metamorph vs. Meadowland

Does anyone have both of these? Can anyone do a side by side comparison? I thought that metamorph was a lighter green and meadowland was more of a mint. I got one off of lj but I think now I have two meadowlands. I can try to take a pic later but if anyone has a side by side that would be great..thanks!
