the problem with me is i'll be strict and just buy what i planned for in the collections, but then i'll see some great deals in the clearence bin or on other websites and then spend just as much on older mac / perm lines! doh!

erine, is style snob similar to satin taupe?

Found Grand Entrance at my CCO today. That's one I can cross off my list...

(and I also got Steamy - I usually go for pans because they're cheaper, but it was 10.25 in a pot, so what the hell.)

How close is One-off to Emerald Green p/g?

 

[GlamQueen21]

I'm thinking about getting some eyeshadows off of the MAC website and the rest off of All Cosmetics Whole Sale like Dreammaker and Glamour Check!.

 

[abbyquack]

Dang I was kinda hoping Unbasic White would be an off-white, almost ivory. Oh well, I'll probably still get it

Thanks for the tips, ladies! I have carbon, twinks, parfait amour, sumptuous olive & gorgeous gold, will definitely play with these!

There's nothing in the perm collection like it...kinda in between Humid and Swimming...it's a true grass green Fashion- Reminded me of Silverthorn but it was a blue grey....pretty but reminded me of Rondelle from another collection so I passed. Style Snob- It's a pretty pink brown color. Someone mentioned it was similar to Mauvement pigment but I think it's pretty enough to have both... Ego- a very pale pink...pretty but I hardly wear pinks...if I did I would get this Unbasic White- I don't wear white so I passed on this. Reminds me of White Frost or Crystal Avalanche but of course with the Starflash finish Strike a Pose- OMG I LOVE THIS!!!! it looks blue but it's really a dark teal blue...maybe similar to Deep Blue Green pigment but I think it's SO hot...I'm getting a backup of this for sure =) Fashion Groupie- this is the first purple I passed on! It's very close to Satellite Dreams but of course with the Starflash finish....so if you don't have SD then definately get FG... Rated R- pretty but it came out kinda yellowish green and I don't wear those kind of colors on me. Similar to Sharp and Bitter but it's VERY pigmented....I hardly wear Bitter so I passed.....

You are awesome! Now my list is even longer! Must get One off and Strike a Pose!....Do you think One-off is close to Wondergrass?

 

[fafi]

Erine posted some swatches (I think they are in the swatches thread) and mentioned that wondergrass has yellow in it so looks quite different from one-off.

i sure did post a swatch comparing the two, and they aren't even close. wondergrass is sooo much better!

Hi,
I'm sorry I'm just now seeing this. You got a lot of great recommendations! I feel like Stars N' Rockets can be used with almost anything. It's one of those great, unique colors that literally works with almost everything. I used as a lid color, crease color and liner. My favorite combination is Stars N' Rockets on the lid and Magnetic Fields (from Neo Sci-Fi) in the crease and something like Naked lunch from crease to brow. I wore it on the 4th of July as an accident and loved it!

HTH!

I agree! I have not gotten Wondergrass cuz it scares me a little, don't get me wrong, I love my greens, infact, that and purple pretty much dominates my e/s collection, but I guess I am scared if the intensity is wearable? Am I making sense?

Yay! I have Magnetic Fields! I will def. try that look too!

 

[Mabelle]

dont be scared pf wondergrass. im wearing it today all over the lid, with a true tealy peacock blue in the crease and deep blue green pigment in the outer v. looks delish!!

 

[LMD84]

one off really doesn't seem like any other green i have which is great!!

thanks for the new swatch Erine, i was wondering hwo it compared to spiritualize too.

 

[AudreyNicole]

I am on the fence about Fashion. I have Silverthorn, and I am worried that, when applied, there won't be a huge difference between the two... I saw erine's swatch of the two, and they look quite similar there too.
