i think that's because she swatched it lightly. it looks pretty opaque in everybody else's swatches

I'd really not want to wear a color like that as a highlight, but on Christine it looked sooooooo pale that I didn't know if you needed to apply the whole pot for it to show up, lol. I do love MoodRing, especially over Rollickin' paintpot. Ugh, this is the one color I keep going back & forth on!!! I can't decide

Submarine would be closer to Blue Flame, not Cool Heat. Cool Heat is teal and has alot more green than Submarine. I think there is a comparison of Submarine against Blue Flame by Tinkerbelle in the swatch thread.

If you love Moodring, you will love Warm Chill. They are similar. I think this one will be one of the first to sell out

If you can afford it, I say get it (It is my fav of all of the shadows), and if you decide you don't like it or it is too similar to what you have, I am sure it will swap/sell well

agreed. submarine is a brighter blue, while blue flame is deeper and darker.

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Erine [or ne one] could you swatch Gentle Simmer SS next to Bare SS and Long Stem Rose SS. I know these are all various pinks and I'm only allowing myself one pretty pink slimshine cuz I want like basically all of the shadows haha. I'm NW 15 to NW 20 with fairly pigmented lips and idk which one would be best...opinions?? Thanx so much!!!!

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

I bought Big T a month or so ago off the MAC site (I think they are out now) but I forgot about it until Cool Heat swatches showed up. So now I'm wondering if I want to keep it and skip Cool Heat or sell it and get Cool Heat instead. I'm thinking i won't use both. Which has more green? Greens seem to look better on me than blue. Also how does the finishes compare? Thanks

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

anyone know how Solar White compare to NARS Albatross?

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

I at first wanted all the shadows in the collection, but now I think all I want are Cool Heat, Warming Trend, and Gulf Stream. I think I want to snag an Aquavert off ebay instead of Warm Chill.

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Thank you everyone for your wonderful info!!

And I have a question for y'all: I'm heading to my counter today and want to get a base for these. What would you say would work better as base--Delft or Greenstroke? Or should I get a second Sea Me (because I think my counter still has these)?

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Hmmm...I wonder how High 90s compares to Jest l/s in terms of color?

i'll see if i can get around to doing a swatch for you tomorrow, but just so you know - Gentle Simmer isnt even close to pink IRL. very much a pearly peach shade, closest to that of Funshine and Missy (hence i compared them to those two because it seemed far too different to Bare and Long Stem Rose to be worth swatching)
HTH!

I bought Cool Heat and when I went home and tested it against Big T, it is almost identical, so I am about to take Cool Heat back to the store and get something else.

I usually use Greenstroke for my green eyeshadows and it works great

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Ahhh, I thought I was going to be able to pass on half the shadows, but all the swatches from you lovely ladies changed that!! Pretty sure I want all of them (except Blue Flame, will have to see that one in person). And I want three of the Slimshines! Plus I have to try Turquatic Heat because the reg Turquatic is my fave

So much for limiting myself... ha!

Greenstroke will be a great base for the lighter greens in this collection - Gulf Stream and Warm Chill.
