Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Okay Warm Chill vs. Aquavert from the Lure collection? How similar are these??? I MUST cut down my list.

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

im so excited for this collection

Which shadows do you think are most original, which ones do you think have nothing dupeable to them and therefore are must haves?!

id love to know your opinions.

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

I am getting Blue Flame, Cool Heat, Gulf Stream, Solar White and I don't think any other eyeshadows are necessary.

One slimshine-whichever looks best on me.

And if Turquatic Heat really smells like hot summertime Cuban sex....I may just have to buy 2 bottles

....as that is my all-time favorite smell!

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

I saw a new swatch of Blue Flame and it was compared to Freshwater and Deep Truth. The Blue Flame looks so much richer that Deep Truth.

Honestly, they probably all have something that is a little similar, but IMO finish makes all the difference. For example:

Cool Heat is similar to Big T but Big T's texture is horrible and I find it hard to work with.

Warm Chill is similar to Mooding but WC is a bit warmer, and has gold sparkles. I love this one!

Blue Flame is almost (on me) a dead on dupe for Deep Truth, but I like DT's texture and payoff better.

Gulf Stream is similar to Waternymph.

IMO Warming Trend is fairly unique.

I have given up trying to shorten my e/s wishlist. I keep going around and around, and end up with the same 6, no matter what else I already have. I say get them all, especially if you don't have alot of this color family in your collection!

It is much darker and deeper than Freshwater, though they would look awesome worn together! And honestly, upon swatching Blue Flame with Deep Truth, I found Deep Truth to be richer with a better color payoff than Blue Flame. If I would have packed on Blue Flame, I would have gotten a Deep Truth dupe. The only difference (on me) is the texture.

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Still only getting Warm Chill & Climate Blue es

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

I am SO on the fence about Tropic Glow. I am afraid it is too bright for me, but I love the color. Not only that, but what if it get neglected because of my tendertone love? Ahhhh, get it or not? HELP!

Oh just get one! I know you will, hehe.

I am going to get: Warming Trend, Warm Chill, Solar White, Gulf Stream (still deciding), High 90's, & Tropic Glow.

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

OK, so as of today I have decided (thanks to everyone's input & swatches)
I'm getting...
e/s
Solar White
Warming Trend
Warm Chill
Cool Heat
s/s
High 90's
Tropic Glow
I think that list sounds good

And wow! A list less than $100!
Shocking!

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Went back today and they had gulf stream. GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS!!

See??

 

[zabbazooey]

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Okay...so I am down to:

Warm Chill
Solar White
Gulf Stream
Cool Heat

Help me cut my list down! Do I *really* need Solar White? I have Vanilla piggie, is it similar?

 

[SMMY]

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

I'm thinking I'll skip some of these now. I already have Aquavert, Mood Ring and Waternymph, so I'm skipping Gulf Stream and Warm Chill. I so wanted Climate Blue to be more of true purple and not an indigo blue, so I'll probably pass on this. Blue Flame is a "see in person and swatch first" item.

So now it looks like Solar White, Cool Heat and Warming Trend. Only six more eye shadows to depot then. Woot!

the only other slimshine i have is bare, and i was gonna say the same thing. bare is a nude pink, while gentle simmer is definately more peachy-coral, almost along the lines of wonderstruck lustreglass.

instead of returning it (returns get thrown away), why don't you sell it here? i'm sure someone will buy it.

Thanks gurlie! I can't wait to get to the PRO store tomorrow!! I got my money ready. Well..............what's left, LOL.

I have a gift card but I'm trying to decide what collection to use it for. I think I'm gonna save it for the Cult of Cherry collection.

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Thanks, erinne! Your swatches have convinced me that I STILL need Solar White!! They are not similar enough to justify passing up that beautiful color

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Thanks krasevayadancer! I am in love with Gulf Stream!

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Hey Erine, I didn't think to compare them when I got my sneak peek, but you know how Gentle Simmer s/s would compare to Plink! l/s (one of my favorite lippies EVER!)
