That's actually a really good question. The only thing I can think is that it is formulated slightly different than the other lustres, but not enough to fall into any of the other categories. But I really have no clue

its more like swimming. it doesn't flake all over like honey lust does. it's not really gold either. its a duochrome. to me it is like retrospeck one way, and seedy pearl the other. thats how it swatched on me. i wouldn't classify it as gold at all.
i'm not feeling this collection at all. neither is the rest of my counter. im all about smokey eyes and a nude lip, but even the nude lips in this collection are disappointing. the only thing i like is the light flush MSF and the dark edge shadow (it will make a great smokey eye
). i think alot of people will be disappointed once they actually see the stuff in person. just my opinion.

Hmmmm...and I was looking forward to this collection too...
Are the lippies bad? I mean, do they give fair color payoff even though most of them are lustres? How about the lipglasses? Or does it look like "nothing" on? I know the collection is neutral, but if you can't see it at all...
Is that what you mean by most people being disappointed with this collection IRL? I really am into the smokey eye/nude lippie look right now so I was getting all excited about this.

they're ok. i just don't find the colors all that flattering. i just think they could've come up with more flattering nude colors. but it could just be the "smokey/color" side of me that doesn't like it.
i forgot the neutral pink shadow is kinda pretty. if i get it in gratis great, but i don't think i'll be buying any of this collection myself.

I am glad Nanogold is not one of those horrible lustres, I am not a fan of them. Does anyone know the formula for the rest of the shadows?

they fit perfectly inbetween all the other naturals. it gives a much better range of colors. i normally wear light in the fall and winter (it is just a little too light) and medium in the summer. now i can switch to light medium when i am my normal pasty self.

the rest are satins, except for rich flesh (matte).

Aww, poo. I just love gold eyeshadows. And now I see that the N Color Collection sticky has changed Nanogold to "yellowed beige with pink duochrome." That just sucks the fun out of the color! Thank you erine1881! Now I might try other colors!

In the pictures of the new eyeshadows, does anyone know what the top middle one is. That is the one that looks like exactly what I have been looking for.

I was wondering what all of the e/s were myself. The only ones I'm reasonably sure of are Nanogold, Neutral Pink and Dark Edge...and I suppose I could be wrong there too! LOL We will know soon enough.

I know, I think 3 or 4 of them say they are brown, but only two look on the brown side. I can't figure out what the one is that I like. I will have to order on line since I won't be at a counter, so I want to make sure I order the correct one.
