I like the fact the swirls are much chunkier looking than the Semi-Precious MES for better color selection; and I bet the texture on this will be even nice, with that less glitter overall and more of the texture of my all-time favorites like Hold That Pose and Daylight. Even still, I don't want to dupe colors I still have plenty of from SP. There are a few I know I don't have straight dupes for, though, and if I get a few that are similar to ones I already have, it'll only be if the texture is dramatically better than what I already have (which is why I got a couple of the ED shadows, which were very similar to MES I already had, and I feel OK about that hehe)
HEAVENLY CREATURE (Eyes) (North America - July 5, 2012/ International - July 2012)
Mineralize Eye Shadow $20(USD)/ $24(CAD) - all frost finish
Aurora - Peach, green, and brown melange - I don't usually do well with pale olive greens like Modern Pewter and Dalliance, so if this one actually works on me, I may get it.
Magnetic Attraction - Orange, pink and gold melange - looks warm and glowing apricot. Don't think I've got a dupe and will probably snag this one for my green eyes.
Neo Nebula - Cream, warm amethyst and warm pink melange - may be dupeable, but will get based on texture and if I can get one with plenty of amethyst.
Universal Appeal - Gold, bronze and violet melange - sounds lovely, may be close to Daylight. With the right swirls, may break down and buy.
Invincible Light - Icy white, lavender and warm gold melange - not sure this will do anything for my coloring. will resist unless it's magical.
Earthly - Beige, peach and cool brown melange - I skipped Havana, since it was the wrong cool brown for me. Probably won't need this either, fingers crossed, especially if it's not nicer than Twilight Falls.
Water - Yellow, lime green and blue melange - Looks like a combo of Jade's Fortune and Unsurpassable, but with bigger swirls to pull from. I don't honestly need it, but it sure is pretty. Will probably resist.
Bright Moon - Grey, silver and icy green melange - one of those colors that usually doesn't look good on me. 'Looks like Hint of Sapphire, which is also a color I usually can't wear, but somehow works on me - so the verdict is out for reason of possible dupe and/or if it works.
Sky - Green gold, turquoise and cobalt melange - for sure getting this one - the cobalt shade is perfect and is going to be a huge color going forward into Fall. Here's hoping it's nice and dense, rather than being too sheer.
I'm going to finally get the duo fiber eye brush, I bet. I'm not interested in the VAE, so all you other ladies can have mine! 'Still going to be an expensive haul for me, whatever way you cut it.
