I would post pics but i finished having lasik surgery and i dont wanna mess around to much with the computer and takin pics. Hopefully in a couple of days Ill post it.
Good for you. It's an awesome feeling waking up and suddenly see everything sharp and clear, isn't it. Remember, no make up and no rubbing of your eyes/lids.

Yes everything went well. I had a very experienced surgeon. And it is crazy about the dupe. Im thinkin maybe its because of the veining in my shadow. But idk. Ill put up pics and u guys can judge for urselves lol [quote name="UrbanSweetheart" url="/forum/thread/174559/mac-semi-precious-discussion/3360#post_2143342"]

[/quote] Thanks its so hard not to rub. Especially when it burns because its so dry. And i can wear eye makeup after a week but i think imma wait longer than that because im paranoid. I will be wearing lipsticks and blushes though hehe

Thank you for posting this link. I was wondering what base would work with SR.

nah ive seen both together and they r quite similar. i think the difference is not worth spending 45 bucks on ebay :(

Now don't encourage me! LOL!!

I have been contemplating getting backups of a couple of MES that have different veining than what I already have. I am also on the hunt for the perfect primer/paintpot/creme shadow base for some of the MES, so yes my SP quest is not actually done. And here I was going to skip this collection altogether LOL!

I got Rare Find, Hint of Sapphire, Goldstone and a BU of Gem of Roses in the post the other day. Not tried Rare Find yet but mine is really good because it has the purple and taupe shades really separated so it will be easy to use both or mix them. My Hint of Sapphire is just stunning, it has a gorgeous teal blob and a little dark blue blob and through the middle of them is a mix of all different colours. The pigmentation is actually really good, I don't understand why so many bloggers were having problems with it! It is definitely my favourite out of all of the MES I got :) I lurrrrve Goldstone, I look so bronzed and healthy wearing it. It is going to be well loved and used during the summer months so I am very pleased with it and a big thank you to Mac-Guy and MrsB for the recs :)

Guys, I need your help! I'm going crazy, lol, couldn't stop thinking about my Unsurpassable not having much green and purple, so I've ordered 3 (!) more from Debenhams, and now I need to decide which one to keep, but I can't!

Below is a picture of all 4 of them, the one on the left is mine, I have used that, so will definitely be keeping it. I like the gold patch in it, it's really pretty, but I really want one with more green and purple. So should I keep the one next to mine, or the one in the middle, or the one on the right? The one on the left has lots of purple, some green and some copper veining. The one in the middle has less purple, but it does have a nice blob that should be fairly easy to pick up, but it still hasn't got that much green, more yellow/lime instead. The one on the right has loads of green and a bit of copper veining, but not enough purple for my liking. (For ref, my JF has a little lime, but not very easy to pick out on its own - see pic at the bottom.) Which one do you think I should keep? Thanks.

IMO the one next to yours! and what's the end of the other two?
