I've bought from ebay twice, with 50/50 luck

I got One-Off, and couldn't understand the hype over the finish, but then I discovered it was fake

So be careful, the seller had 100% positive feedback..!

Smoke & Diamonds is DEE-LICIOUS!
I've written to MAC, begging them to make it permanent, but they heartlessly ignored me.
Back to topic: Starflash shadows are incredible; velvety creamy-rich texture, voluptuous pigmentation, smooth, uniform shimmer, good wear (over a base).
They just feel luxurious.

MAC seriously needs to offer some on a permanent basis, as a pro item, if nothing else.
I don't understand it.
Don't they *want* to make even more money?

^I agree!
MAC, I'll beg, I'll plead, I'll grovel, I'll give you even more of my money!

Once again I'll state: I. Just. Don't. Understand. It.
MAC has a fanatically loyal add- I mean, customer - base.
Why do they make us yearn, grovel, plead, beg, scrape, swap, and scheme to get certain adored products - sometimes.
They now offer Dazzleglasses on a permanent basis, bless them, as well as some Mineralize products, and those lovely Matte Squared eyeshadows.
WE WANT STARFLASH! WE WANT STARFLASH! WE WANT STARFLASH! WE WANT STARFLASH! WE WANT STARFLASH! WE WANT STARFLASH! WE WANT STARFLASH!
Repeat 90 trillion times ...
Come on, MAC; you KNOW we'll buy them!
You just know that cocaine addicts don't have to do this sort of thing ...

It's the perfect shimmery taupe-y gray, as far as I'm concerned.
MAC makes the best eyeshadow colors!
Lately, I love wearing Hypnotizing (not a Starflash, but behaves like one) on the lid, Smoke & Diamonds in the crease, and Unbasic White to highlight inner corners and browbones. I apply Macroviolet Fluidline with a 210 right along upper lashes, and I have a neutral-with-a-kick look that makes my green eyes POP!

Wow, where were shadows like this when I was in my 20s?
I remember wandering forlornly through a department store cosmetics department, telling a saleswoman that I was looking for a "grayish lavender" eyeshadow.
She looked at me like I'd asked to search her panties, just sort of shrugged, and wandered away ...
Little did I know that in middle age (45), I'd have more "dirty" lavenders than two eyes can wear!
Where was MAC back then?
