The counter where I got "Rated R" still had 2 of those, 8 "Dreamaker", 4 "Unbasic white", 2 "Fashion", 1 "Go" (could you believe it?? It was from last years collection!), Colour Craft MES and a Graphic Garden Palette, which a ended buying as well, as gift for a friend of mine who saw mine and loved it!

Today I hit the pan of smoke & diamonds, it's very exciting but sad at the same time, I only have one backup and I use this eyeshadow very often as you can see. Two weeks ago I saw smoke & diamonds in the CCO but I thought that it was not necessary to buy another one

^Maybe you can go back to the CCO and get it a back up!!

I know that I got to go but I´m too lazy to drive 3 hours and I´m not sure if Smoke & diamonds is still there!!

 

[Hypathya]

Mmm, so sad!! Maybe you can ask someone to CP it for you???

Let me check, PH Perisur had it two months ago.

Thanks guys! If you don't have Divine Night, Knight Divine is a great dupe for it. I loved that combo so much that I'm going to do it again for the Christmas Eve FOTD!

Lol at divine knight and knight devine being dupes.. hehe

For those who are looking for some Starflash e/s, I spotted Fashion Groupie on Nordstrom's website and spotted a few on Dillard's website.

I saw Smoke and Diamonds at the CCO when I was there Monday. I also saw it back in January.

If anyone's looking for a dupe for Style Snob, try Stila Grace.

It isn't an *exact* dupe, but it's darned close.

In the photo, Grace is on bottom, with Style Snob nearest my wrist.
I prefer Style Snob, primarily because of its texture and pigmentation, but Grace is very nice, and very close in color.

I know everyone seems to like the starflash formula but I think the staying power sucks. I still love my smoke & diamonds though.

I was very disappointed with style snob, bought it because of all the hype and it doesn`t work for me it all

I love the Starflash formula! I'm still looking out for the ones I missed out on the first time round. I'm now left with Go!, Sunset B, Mink & Sable, and Star By Night, and Bold & Brazen to complete my collection.

 

[PinkBasset]

^ Awesome collection! I hope you can find the rest you are lacking. Do you have all the starflash shadows in their own palette? I can imagine them all together - droolworthy!

What are your favorites? Mine are Style Snob, Go, Smoke & Diamonds, Rated R, Strike A Pose, Ego and Unbasic White. All of them are great because of the finish, but those are my most used.

I would love to have Star by Night! I have been eyeing One Off from Ebay, but I don't know if I would get enough use out of it.

 

[Hypathya]

Hope you get them all Winnie!!

I have so many more than you to complete the collection!!

Starflashes and Veluxe Pearls are my favorite finishes ever!!

Awesome! I only need Star By Night, Top Hat, Mink & Sable, Glamour Check!, Dreammaker, Ego, Talent Pool, and Grand Entrance.

I have really oily skin, and mine stays okay as long as I wear the following underneath:
A light coat of translucent powder, brushed on
A light coat of Urban Decay Primer Potion, smoothed on with a 191 brush
Another light dusting of translucent powder
That sounds like a lot of powder, but it works well for me as long as I don't pack on the powder.
Alternately, you might try wearing a neutral Shadestick underneath.
It's worth a try ...

I used to have them all in a palette, but then I figured it made more sense to arrange all my shadows by color instead of finishes, so I regrouped them. My favorite is Talent Pool! I wore it a few weeks ago, and a makeup-ignorant male friend commented that I looked as outrageous as Lady Gaga.

Not quite as crazy as the Lady herself, but I took it as a compliment anyhow.

I haven't actually used Smoke & Diamonds yet! Shocking, right? But I hardly put on eye makeup, so it will take me some time to get to it. Now that I've mentioned it, I think I'm going to try to use it tomorrow (hopefully!).

Thanks for the tip. I am really lazy and only use Urban Decay Primer Potion. The starflash shadows definetely wear off waay faster than my other shadows... I need to find a good sticky base...I don't like ccb or shadesticks unfortunetely.
