Eyeshadow Shade Similarities

[hungrychild]

personally, I think you should get all three. and greensmoke (although I know you don't have it listed).

but definately get swimming.

i love swimming, i would definitely get this one...i'm still waiting for my lustreleaf from my recent order.

Greens are my fave. I love juxt and swimming together, and humid to line.

 

[eyeshadowfreak]

They are all different from one another - I think the only thing they have in common is that they greens.

Swimming is grass green. Juxt IMO is a softer, more shimmery version of Bitter. Humid is a dark, shimmery, emerald green. Sprout and Swimming a very different - Sprout is a bit closer to Juxt, but still different enough to have both.

Sorry if that complicates your decision even more

To me Sprout is darker than Juxt, but not as vibrant as Swimming. It's more in between the 2.
I'd say go ahead and get all 3!

I adore Juxt. I was a bit skeptic to get it before butI heard so much about it I had to give in and buy it. And I'm gald I did. I also have Swimming and love it. I don't know how close Sprout and Swimming are because I don't own Sprout.

I had Juxt and Swimming at the same time. But I swapped Juxt away because I didnt like it as much as Swimming... I dont know about the other ones.

i love the swimming and juxt combo!!! if i was to choose between sprout and swimming, i'd definietely get swimming

 

[lovejam]

I have Swimming, Juxt, and Humid. They're all great, but I would most recommend Juxt. I love it!

 

[scrapbookromance]

I love love love juxt as a soft, easy green. I find I can use it with lots of different colors

 

[kimmy]

i swear by juxt. seriously. it's fabulous :]

 

[d_flawless]

actually, i don't think sprout really looks like swimming at all...i like sprout more, to be honest...and i think it just got d/c, so get it while you can! but i love juxt...get that one if you want a nice green and can't get sprout.

Juxt & humid

Humid is lovely and dark, and is great for the contrast and lining. Juxt, as someone said, is like a softer bitter - it has a nice touch of yellow, that will work in well with Sprout. I personally didn't think that much of swimming, but I was probably influenced by the fact it is a lustre, which I hate

 

[Patricia]

in my opinion, you need the 3 of them, they are all gorgeous and very different!!!

When Mac re-releases colors under a different name or similar to LE items...

Is there any sort of list of the colors MAC has re-released under a new name?

Alternatively, is there any sort of running list of colors that are really close to LE colors, so if you run out of the LE color, you could find a close replacement?

I think that i've heard that parrot was called kicky-blue for the liza minelli collection but i could be wrong!!! I don't understand why they would re-name it?? I'd love to see lists on your two questions as well! Great thread!

Yep, it's true. Kicky Blue was a LE color in the Liza PM quad in 2003 and was then rereleased in 2004 as Parrot with Salsabelle...

So, these are similar ones I can think of off the top of my head ~
Kicky Blue = Parrot
Belle Azure = Freshwater
Blue Absinthe = Shimmermoss = Steamy
Mystical Mist = Au Contraire

Also, FYI, the Specktra swatch gallery would be a great place to browse. There are lots of swatches with similar shades...

BA & S'moss look NOTHING alike, at least not to me.

Belle Azure & Freshwater is one I'd believe though, but they are supposedly slightly different. I didn't get BA for that reason, already having Freshwater.
