enjoy! your rare find sounds very beautiful!I got my last order from this coll today.
Got Jades Fortune...I love that it has good pigmentation. The one I got has a big blue area and the rest is green with a couple yellow spots so I can get a few colors from it. The blue part has gorgeous teal blue pink shimmer and sheen. It's going to be great for a smokey eye, actually a lot of these colors will.
Rare Find is so pretty, so glad I got it. I got really lucky with this one cause its half and half. Half has a lot of pink and the other side is brown with a lot of copper and still plenty of pink.
I'm still bummed bout FG!

So I've been mixing various shadows together over the past week and I want to tell anyone out there who likes customizing their own colors that all these MES are DYNAMITE for this! Like Faux Gold mixed with Dark Indulgence = gorgeous shimmery warm bronze with a green duochrome......Smoked Ruby + Dark Indulgence is a rich dark deep Shimmery bronze brown (a color MAC does not make and I am always looking for......hopefully Carbonized from MMO will finally fill this void).....Rare Find + Faux Gold is spectacular warm taupe.....Hint of Sapphire + Smoked Ruby is a delicious smoked pinky purple.....
ETC! You get the point
I know it's kind of crazy that with all the combos inherent in each shadow alone that anyone would want to be mixing even further, but I love doing that. I want to see if I can get every single color of the spectrum out of this collection!
Also I just caved and bought the charged water (LOVE IT! especially since it's been SO hot and humid in London) and I am about to buy the mineralize lotion as well. Does anyone have extensive experience with this lotion and can tell me how it is as a facial moisturizer?
Anyway, I'm just glad to be back on here! I finally have internet in my own home again (that was a painful 3 weeks being without Specktra!).
YAY!

[/quote] I have the moisturizer (if it's the same one that came out with warm and cozy) and I like it. It's not made for very dry skin, but I still like it a lot, especially in summer as it is lighter. And in winter I use it as a "base" for my mineralize foundation. Does a good job and skins into the skin pretty fast. I haven't tried it for the body yet though.

SOOOOOOO WORTH IT!
but you don't even really need to muck up the surface really, and if you do you can always wipe it down with a tissue right after Or you can just layer them on your lids and use a different brush for each color.

I would just mix them straight onto my eyes. I'd layer the darker colour over the lighter one so that you didn't go overboard and could keep adding more to darken it, or the colour you wanted more of on top eg if you were to put Faux Gold down, you could use a fluffy brush to apply Dark Indulgence on top. You could go back into each colours to keep building up until it was what you wanted to achieve.

Well, I caved and bought Clarity. I tried it over Rich Thrills BB eyeshadow in store and fell in love. They only had 5 left - I got one with pretty balanced veining, and lots of the blue There was one there that was almost entirely gold, and not even a speck of black! Interesting, but not what I was looking for
So I ended up with:
Golden Gaze
Rare Find
Clarity
Gem of Roses
One of a Kind
Lush Amber
SP Pearl MSF
Natural Flare
I love everything I got, so I'm happy This has definitely been my biggest haul since Peacocky!

YAY! I am glad you like it. It is awesome over any of the BB shadows. I have tried it over 3 or 4 now and they are all different but so pretty.

I gather the color onto the brush dry and then spritz with Fix+ before applying to the lid. Everything stays much prettier that way
