I really liked it with Greenstroke PP and Cream Color Base in Pearl, both really brought out the green!

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

This collection is the BOMB! Seriously, pics do not do them justice. They look awesome in person, each and every one of the shadows. Now Solar White, it looks a load like that one color in the Ben Nye pallete. I didn't swatch them side by side but it looks awfully similar to me. Enough not to get it. I got all the shadows except for Solar White because of the Ben Nye and Warm Chill because I bought Aquavert on ebay. I haven't received it yet and if I don't get it by tomorrow to see how the color looks like, I will buy Warm Chill. But I have a Macy's gift card anyway so I'll probably end up getting Warm Chill regardless...

I really wish that Solar White had a bit of pink like it does in the pan cuz otherwise it's just too frosty for me. Augh, it looks so pretty tho. I was so mesmerized by it! Warming Trend I'm definitely okay with using Twillery for, and Gulf Stream subbed by Waternymph. After the swatches I'm waffling on Cool Heat and even Climate Blue... I was going to just use Pompous Blue and Jeweltone but dammit, they're not as pretty! I tried Turquatic Heat and I'm really liking it. It's different than what I usually use and I can see (smell? catch? waft?) the "warm, sweaty, sexy" notes of it. My husband likes it, more points in favour for TH! I didn't get anything b/c I didn't have the coupon on me but I'll be going back sometime soon!

Awesome. I love hot sweaty notes. Are u guys tired of hearing me say that yet?? I'll shut up now

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

so i know ive read this before, but i have just got to ask.. sorry! haah my laptop is being too slow to flip through all 70 pages =(

solar white vs. vanilla pigment. one has pink to it and the other doesnt? but is it.. worth having both? i already have the pigment and i use it for lid and highlight but im a college student. i cant afford to have dupes or things that are super close. which one is the better one?

and patina vs warming trend. i know everything said that patina has the duochrome.. but is it worth having both? if you have to choose, which one would you get?

thanks everyone!

and erine, you ROCK.

(or erine, you ROCK.)

If you scroll down on this link you will see the swatches that Ernie did comparing the two and others.

Hopefully that helps!

lol, nope, cuz if you didn't, I wouldn't have checked it out! I was thinking of you and Erine's description when I sniffed it out. I haven't really thought about perfumes in that way before so with your comments popping up every page or so it got into my head to see what it's like. =D

Another comparison that I forgot to mention earlier... aside from the blue sheen, is Tropical Glow anything like Fun & Sexy? That's what it reminded me of in store, but the store was closing and I didn't get to play with it much. I don't think it's as close as I first saw, but I thought I'd ask.

Any comments (or swatches) on that? Thanks!

thanks! my slow laptop finally loaded the page up (after several refreshes lol). so vanilla is less gold and patina is darker.. but do you know which ones would be more suitable for my nc35 skin? i tend to buy things bc theyre pretty and not bc they work for me (bad choice when i get home.. lol)

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

I just got my cool heat stuff!! YAY!! im going to play with the shadows now!!

I loveeee tropic glow ss!! so pretty!! It's a light pink with a lot of shimmer on me!! High 90's is like a corally red on me but i put quite a bit on so i can probably sheer it out a bit. I ended up getting gentle simmer as well and haven't tried it yet but i know i will love it!!

I know Rollickin has been mentioned in this thread a few times. I just wanted to add that it's still available at Nordstrom.com

id say with your skintone go with patina and solar white.

and then buy vanilla pigment later!

seriously. i'm not kidding.

Haha its okay. I can't wait to get my Gulf Stream!

Tropic Glow is such a pretty pink. I am going back tomorrow after I depot my shadows tonight for another Slimshine but I don't know which one to get. I had high hopes for High 90s but I some how didn't like it.

By Degrees or Swelter are my next choices. I tried on Sunsonic from NSF and I fell in love with that too. Its soooo pretty on.

I might end up just getting that. lol

I say get By Degrees! I got By Degrees and Tropic glow. I found Swelter too sheer almost like a nude/gloss. hehe

I know! Those two were m favorite! I wasn't very fond of High 90s..I thought it was more like a orangey red? How did you feel about High 90s?
