Icebox is one of my MAC "grails".
I wish I had the money right now to bid on that.

It took me a very long time to find Icebox. It's a beautiful shade and long d/c so it rarely shows up and usually goes for a high price when it does. I was prepared to pay $50-60 when I was looking for Icebox and it still took me months to get one.
As for Blow, I bought it at retail price, but UK retail price, which is £11 (GBP) and I had to pay £5 shipping on top of that because I live 2 hours away from the only store that sold it in the UK. That's about $20 (plus $8.70 shipping). I wouldn't sell it now for less than £20, simply because it's so htf and it was such a hassle (and so expensive) to get it in the first place.

it's a much different tone than chillblue and the old lustre texture which isn't as good as chillblue. No, it's not worth $80. I paid $19 for mine and was considering getting that one as a backup but there's no way I'd pay that much for it - not worth it at ALL.

I agree. When I finally did get icebox I was glad I hadn't paid $50-60 for it! Like you told me at the time, the pale blue Pro colour is very similar anyway.

That's what I was thinking concerning the texture...like comparing Li'lilly to Violet, Dear...VD gave me like NO color payoff. Icebox's color looks amazing in the pot but blues look like death on me, so whatever...
