Help choosing MAC Colours for me?

[PeachTwist]

Hey everyone,

I'm asking for your help because I'm going to have quite a bit of spare cash quite soon and I'm thinking of doing quiiiiiiiite a big haul. I'm new to MAC and I'm very quickly becoming a MAC Addict. I'm mostly interested in eye shadows/blushes and possibly a few lipsticks. But more the eyeshadows and blushes, lol. I have a list so far and I was wondering if you guys could tell me whether I should not get some of them, change some of them, or what I should get if I'm getting certain ones? It isn't in any particular order so I'd really appreciate it. If it helps any - I'm pale with really big brown eyes and lightly dyed brown hair but I'm a natural blonde.

TIA addicts!

Eyeshadows:

Gesso
Goldmine
Steamy
Deep Truth
Texture
Arena
Gorgeous Gold
Passionate
Shroom
Brule
Naked Lunch
Stars N' Rockets
Bitter
Cranberry
Woodwinked
Beauty Marked
Electric Eel
Humid
Juxt
Sketch
Shimmermoss
Sushi Flower

Blush:

Peachtwist
Dollymix
Pinch O Peach
Well Dressed
Pink Swoon
BlushBaby
Plum Foolery

Edit: I forgot to mention these would actually be my first MAC eye shadows. I also forgot to mention I'm much more of a "bright coloured" eye shadow girl than neutral, if that's any help. Although a few would be good to have.

I have Painterly PaintPot but product wise at the moment I'm mostly wanting to get eye shadows.

I think that well dressed and pink swoon are similar enough that you really only need one of them.

What eye shadows do you have already (might be able to recommend some ones that go good with what you already have)? Any interest in any Paint Pots? Or Shadesticks?

From you eyeshadows... I love Cranberry, Sketch, Woodwinked, and Stars N Rockets... get those for sure!

All the blushes you listed are great though! I love them all

I edited my post. Thank you.

Ohhh... first eyeshadows!

What colors do you like? Basically you can wear whatever you like... it's easy to go overboard when you start, especially with eye shadows because they are all so pretty!

I would add to the list: Grain (a good peachy neutral), Dazzlelight (nice shimmery highlighter), Vanilla (another good highlighter, not as shimmery), Blanc Type (amazing), Sable (love this with brown eyes), Soft Brown (good to blend for that gradient effect), Star Violet (one of my all time favorites), Seedy Pearl (a pale pinky-purple), Swish (a great pink to go with your eyes), Beautiful Iris (a nice purple), Nocturnelle (a good purple for your crease), Handwritten (a good matte2 brown)... I can go on all day. Those are just some of my favorites!

I don't own a lot of greens/blues - so I'm no help there. I'm more of a neutral/pink/purple girl

... have fun shopping!
