I get much better results from mattes from other brands. |

Colours are here (still promo).
No news yet about the new formula. I personally hope it is horrible, so I can skip that, but when they are half opaque, I have a huge problem coming my way

The product list in the first post of the collection thread lists some of the finishes, but not on those two.

Yeah, I often wear teals with golds/yellows. Love the teal pigment but can't stand golden lemon, it hurts my eyes. I also love wearing it with golden olive pigment or golders green.
Right, I am loving my sweet and punchy with steamy. hehe

oh no! that is a shame. i find that golden lemon is quite chunky and messy to work with, but luckily it doesn't hurt my eyes.

You are so right, the colours look great and if they show up on my pigmented lips, who cares about a no-buy. Well, maybe. Has it really come to this!?

I know - that's why I asked, in case someone figured it out since then
it's hard to tell from the promo pictures - but they don't look like mattes. They look kind of frosty - like Going Bananas does (bc it is a Frost).

hmmm, maybe I got a bad batch then. Mine is def not as gorgeous on lids that it is in the pan.

I agree with this too. I prefer MUFE mattes to MAC 100 times. I do like matte2 and some of the Pro mattes though.

I hope if you swatch Aqua again it'll be better for you, it is really nice colour!
I understand that many prefer other brands mattes, I do agree that for example some matte shadows from Illamasqua and Bobbi Brown are better than Mac ones. In my experience Mac Pro mattes are better than the regular mattes and also Matte2 are very nice just like you said!

Sorry to disappoint, but these aren't Starflash eyeshadows... looks like a mixture of textures, but as far as we know, not Starflash.

I don't use my matte eyeshadows often or reach for them and I do love some of my matte eyeshadows like Shadowy Lady, Passionate and Carbon as well as matte2 eyeshadow Graphology.
