Cantafford, I love how you are slowly getting into the obsession. I feel like we have you getting into it more and more lately!

REALLY??? about Warm Chill...blech, I HAD high hopes for this one

What didn't you like?

ok, did I not understand 'Shimmer Speak' ?

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

I am glad that I am not interested in these neutral shades. I bought Evening Aura from Neo Sci-Fi, that is enough for the next months...LOL

I use Vanilla or Nylon as a highlighter and that's it. Makeup is bright colours for me, otherwise I wouldn't bother to do the work

And I still have hopes for Warm Chill!

I think it was Solar White that Shimmer didn't like, not Warm Chill? (She said it is "the secks" (sex). Or maybe she meant "this sucks?"

) Not sure... Solar White does look pink in the pot, but I don't see much pink at all once applied. This is so hard. I am so tempted to get all of the shadows, even though I have colors similar. Part of me is telling myself that I don't need them allllll, but another part of me is having a really hard time accepting that.

I am skipping the Slimshines for now. Gentle Simmer is the only one I REALLY want, and that is permanent, so I will save that for another time.

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Okay I've definitely decided what I want. I love slimshines and I only have one so far so it's Tropic Glow and High 90s for me. As for the eyeshadows love them all but have chosen to get Solar White, Warm Chill, Warming Trend and Gulf Stream. Climate Blue does look lovely too but I'm going to pass for the moment. Anyways excited! Love this collection!

You are skipping the Slimshines (like me)? Then get all e/s

I am the part of you who says you won't regret it

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Like Tendertones, there is nothing about Slimshines that stands out as a quality product I must, must, must have. ($14.50 for lip balm? Please

)

I will be getting all of the shadows except the navy blue one (blue flame?).

I can't wait for these! With my brown eyes, blues and lavenders look amazing on me. Well, most think so except my one girlfriend who still believes that ALL blue eyeshadow belongs back in the 80's. What does she know?

Good heavens...those prices are pure robbery

I couldn't imagine having to limit myself to just a few things because its soooo pricey

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

and at CCO's they're $10, which is why I'm skipping the slimshines in this collection. They are really nice though and like people have said, non-drying. I've got Pink D'Lush, Long stem rose, Urgent, Funshine and Bare already. I heart my CCO.

Yea, *cough* I think *cough* I'm coming down with something. *cough* I probably won't *cough* make it to work tomorrow. *cough* *cough* *cough*

I will probably get all of the shadows but to be REALLY honest, I really need to see some swatches from some ladies who are NC 43 and below (44, 45, 50) to really help me decide. Shoot I might be the one to do it. I guess I gotta bring my camera with me to MAC to take pictures of swatches. I would look crazy though, lol. And I'm really self-conscious.

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Okay, I just took a look of the swatches and I'm definitely NOT getting Climate Blue and Blue Flame. Blue Flame looks too much like Deep Truth (which I have). Great! More money saved.

And maybe its just me, but I'm not yet impressed with the Cool Heat e/s.

THANK YOU! I didn't want to say anything because to each his own, but really? Tendertones, really?

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

I really want ALL of the shadows! Do you think Climate Blue will have a bad texture since it's a Velvet? I'm not sure about this one...

I don't have Big T or Parrot, so all green and teal will be mine for sure

And I think I'm gonna pass on Slimshines since I have 4 (maybe 5 in a future) Tendertones and almost no money left

I don't think Climate Blue has a HORRBILE texture, but I would be more inclined to like it if it was a different finish. It doesn't appear to be as hard to blend as a matte, and not as crappy as a Lustre, but I much prefer frost and VP finishes. The color is very pretty, and the hot pink sparkles are very obvious in the pot, but like Beauty Marked (also a velvet) they completely disappear when you blend it out. I think this would be a nice outer corner color where you can consentrate it more, and keep the sparkles intact, or nice as a liner. It leans more toward purple when you pack it on, and turn more navy when you blend it out. I will *probably* get this one. I am on the fence with it. The only one I know for sure I am not getting is Blue Flame. HTH!

Unfortunately, I doubt it. Probably just PRO stores.

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

I can't wait another week! lol I get paid tomorrow and this week I have been so busy working double shifts all for my crazy MAC obsession and trip to Vegas.

I even bribed some of my co workers and took their shifts on my days off.

Ahhh the things I do for MAC <33
I am still so indecisive about most of the shadows though.
I am sooo going to bring my blue palette in and swatch like crazy. I don't care if I get them stares
