So from McQueen I got all 3 shadows, all 3 paint pots, New Vegas, Masque and White Magic.
My thoughts/reviews:
The shadows don't have a much color payoff as I was expecting. You'd really have to use the paint pots to get the color that's in the pan or apply mucho times. I think I will be returning at least one of them because I found dupes with shadows I already own...
Pagan = Silly Goose with a little Bitter
Nile = Fountainbleu (yes it has a pink pearl vs white, but with Electro sky they look exactly the same)
Haunting = Aquadisiac with Aqua
I may end up keeping Pagan and Nile since Silly Goose and Fountainbleu are no longer available. But I think I can live without Haunting.
The paint pots are a cream texture and feel a lot dryer. They don't apply as smooth so I have to use UDPP to prep my lids. The pp dry a lot faster too so once I put them on I have to apply shadow right away to be able to blend. The upside about these pp are the fact that the colors are buildable so they're great as a base or on their own. If you pass up the shadows, the paint pots are worth getting.
New Vegas
...i LOVE this...enough said haha. It gives me a nice subtle glow. I have Shimpagne and that usually makes me look shiny/oily but New Vegas gives me that perfectly lit glow. I haven't gotten any chunks of glitter but that could be because I got a lucky pot that didn't have excessive veining.
Masque l/s is a nice color but it applies quite dry. The texture feels more like a matte than a satin (i think that's what it is). The color looks pretty dang close to Blankety just without the fab texture.
White Magic l/g applies pretty much clear on my lips but you do see the white pearl. I was going to return this because I bought Trifle from Antiquitease but WM applied over other lip colors gives you that pretty, glassy-wet look. I tried it with a lil Hothouse l/g and it was gorgeous.
So anyway, I think Haunting is the only thing really going back. I'll probably pick up another feline kp in exchange. HTH.
