Yeah, they do last awhile! Yeah.. maybe these 3 will last me till the rest of my life.. or until I get too old to not being able to use it anymore!

Go color twin-ness!

Of course I have Haunting as well.

For me Haunting is more comparable to pigment Mutiny (just in colour, not in finish!).

I am sitting here for you and compare the swatches of Gulf Stream with all my teals and green-blues... Hmm... It does seem to be comparable to Shimmermoss for me.

Gulf Stream - Frosty mid-tone blue-green with green pearlized pigments (Frost)
Shimmermoss - Green with turquoise reflect (Veluxe Pearl) For me it is more a blue-green.

I'd say it's a green-blue...only because the green is a bit more prominent. But, yeah, you're right - they seem quite similar and I love the VP finish of Shimmermoss...much better than a plain ol' Frost.

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

To me in that swatch side by side Big T looks greener than Cool Heat. Is that how they truely are or is it just me?

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

I still think that once I see these shadows in real life that I am going to be in big trouble. Even if they are dupable I still think I want all of these shadows! I have no restraint when it comes to blue-green MAC eye shadows!

That's how I feel right now!!!

And I know that I'm going to get two of Solar White!!!! (and maybe Warming Trend too.) Even though I have Deep Truth, I think I'm still gonna go and get the Blue Flame.

Okay, I won't make any judgements until I SEE THEM IN PERSON!!!!! I can say what I want but I know the real decision won't be until I go and swatch them for myself. I have made MANY mistakes just purchasing and not swatching before (i.e. Fafi).

I know you will!

I only have 4 on reserve, but I will probably get the others too. The only one I KNOW I can live without is Blue Flame, because I compared it to Deep Truth, and prefer Deep Truth. I gotta start playing the lottery and hope I win in the next 2 weeks!

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

I keep getting confused with the swatches. Okay so deep truth is permanent (right?). Blue flame is close to it...and I can't figure out which is blue storm. I have blue storm and I got it because it was that frosty metallic jeweltone blue color...but now I'm thinking its not really the same as deep truth or blue flame??

Blue Storm is very different (on me) from Deep Truth and I'd imagine it would be different from Blue Flame too...

Here is a swatch on NW15 of Blue Storm e/s and Deep Truth e/s along with some of my other blues

thank you so much! somehow i totally forgot about it. apparently when you first posted this swatch i commented on how waternymph and gulf stream looked identical color-wise and waternymph seemed shinier and probably had a better texture. how did i forget that, i have no idea

i must be sleep walking or something

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Erine could I perhaps see a swatch between Blue Storm and Blue Flame on the hand IF ITS AVAILABLE to you. Thank you! =)

I have Blue Storm but I don't have Deep Truth so I am kinda on the fence about it. I really don't want to buy many shadows as I am looking forward to other things hence why I am trying to be picky. Its so hardddd
