ooh i have never thought of doing that with a pigment! since the wet part on the lif will be more vibrant and then in the crease it'll be more subtle!

PIGMENTS!!! come to mamma!!!!!!!!!!!

i want them all, i didnt manage to get later because it was online only here and it sold out ridiculously quickly, so i MUST get it with this!

but i'm really excited about moonlight night, even though i already have deep blue green, and family crest looks divine and if erine says we need it, i definitely need it, i have trusted erine's opinions so far and NEVER been disappointed!

THAANK YOU!!!
Sorry, I have read through most of these pages (or "scanned" them rather)... but of course there are so many of them, that I must have missed out on this info!!

I am so afraid that most of the things I want from this collection (there are many many many!!!) will be sold out too quickly, ahhhh...

oh yes! i do this with alot of pigments. sweet sienna is another that looks good buy doing this. but i always use a darker base on my lids to add more depth

Hopefully there will be a greater product quantity from which to get all the things you want.

Yeah, so far my total is about $275

but that all changes once the swatches are available.

Thinking about getting my first pigment with this collection, is it worth it to press it you think? Can't wait for more swatches!

I don't even bother with most pan eyeshadows because pressed pigments have such great payoff.

I think either this week or next I will either go back to the Soho store taking pre sales or visit my local store and see if they're doing it. I don't want to have to be paranoid and stalking the site. I want to be set. I need to make my final list, though. Even though I haven't seen the palettes, I've definitely seen enough to make a more accurate list.

 

[shontay07108]

I just realized Showstopper is in one of the eye palettes. Man, Mac loves this shadow, huh? I do, too but it's so funny that it comes out what seems like a couple of times a year.

thanks doll! my permission is never needed. its easier for me to post em in the discussion thread under quoted requests. so if anyone reposts em in the swatch thread, that helps me out greatly!

i have green eyes and i'm getting 2 of em! it won't make green eyes pop, but who cares.

MN is sex it a pot!

use em both together! later on the lid and UC smudged on the bottom lashline, with feline in the waterline and on top, or vice versa...

UC all over the lid as a shadow, and later on the bottom lashline.

use later with:
seedy pearl
vex
BI
for a sultry smokey eye

I'm so annoyed by that damn palette with Showstopper in it!

I have it in pot form, eventually caved and got it in the damn BB quad, and I was actually wanting this warm smokey palette...until we got the names! Bronze and Buckwheat are in there too and I have both of them already.

Watch me get the damn thing anyway...

If at all possible can you compare Black Russian with Black Swan? They look very similar to me.

 

[saouri]

I don't know why, but I am really dyyying to know the international release date...

just when do I get to freak out completely?? sometime in november - is simply NOT ENOUGH!

How likely is it, that the release date is roughly the same as Magic Mirth and Mischief's last year?

I really like it too! It's just...how many do I need? Probably one more.

On the plus side, there are much worse shades to be popping up everywhere. At least Showstopper is a great color.

 

[laylalovesmac]

I don't have Showstopper.

 

[banana1234]

black swan, with family crest or moonlight night

 

[GlamQueen21]

I don't know why I haven't got Showstopper e/s in my eyeshadow collection! I do really need to get that like ASAP! Maybe I'll get it with the Burmese Beauty Quad or just by itself in pot form in the Clearance Bin.
