I am so desperately trying to convince myself I don't need half a dozen new eyeshadows.

The Starflash Eyeshadows are the size of normal eyeshadows. The shadows are a brand new finish called Starflash. These shadows contain Soybean, Jojoba, and Olive Oil which helps the powders have a more creamy application to the skin and also allow it to adhere better to the skin than other powders as well as be more long wearing. The difference in texture can be felt immediately because it feels a lot softer on the eye, but gives a surprising high amount of color payoff when built up.
The finish itself is a very frosty, flashy finish. They contain pearlized particles, but much finer than a Veluxe Pearl because the pigments in these are jet-milled. There are no obvious pearls, it's more of just a super frosty highlighty kind of shadow. They can be worn sheer for a more neutral light frost, or built up for a very reflective finish.

Oh no! This means trouble for my wallet! Bunny, what were the standout shades for you? Any similar to other colors, either permanent, or LE?

I really liked Dreammaker, Mink & Sable, and Glamour Check!. They're perfect for a frosty eye. Dreammaker is for the girl that wants a frosty Goldmine but doesn't want it to look "heavy", Mink & Sable is perfect for a frostier Sumptuous Olive, and Glamour Check! is awesome for a fall reddened smokey eye.
Those were just my personal favorites. They happen to be the first three listed in the colour story! I also liked Smoke & Diamonds but felt it was close enough to Satin Taupe which is already impossibly frosty!

I was dying for mystery kohl power and FINALLY got my hands on it, and I regret it. You can hardly see the color in it IMO....I just dont even think its worth it. Not to burst your bubble. Thats just how I feel. I still havent tried Audreys method of using it over a fluidline, but for all that, u might as well find a dark teal liner that has a better color payoff from another brand, no?
And the kohl powers smudge like a mofo on me. I actually think I will skip them all this time...I lost Feline (who cares) and I never use mystery

Just when i thought I was gonna get away with just a few. These sound.......awesome. Like.....wow. I'm so excited now lol

I totally agree about the mystery color, it doesn't show up teal on me at all, it was a complete disappointment

Well I got Feline for the same reason....I liked it, it applied like butter...but because of that I knew it'd smudge. And on me, it smudges like, b-a-d. But again, some people have no issues with it. Its a deeeeep black. Itd be awesome if it was smudge proof. Again, definetly try it for yourself first.
I heard the other KP's were awesome though but unfortunately I think I might just skip them all because of the formula and try the urban decay 24/7 liners instead

Me and you for Lotusland and Sunset B. then!
Go color twins!
But, hearing about this new finish.. makes me want Talent Pool anyways, but I have so many teals! And maybe Mink and Sable.. I don't have Sumptuous Olive and I've been wanting it. (Color twin more? XD) But yeah... my list is just.. growing after hearing about the new formula.
