About the collection, WOW. I'm trying really hard not to be pulled in by the texture since I'm saving for a trip to Buffalo and the colours are fairly dupable, but the good news is I can buy some o' these babies for cheaper!

I think I'll get just two, and colours that I don't really have. My problem is whether it should be two colours - Lotusland and Sunset B. - or two neutrals - Go! and Bold & Brazen. Or just get one and Feline k/p. Or just Feline and a backup Mystery k/p (I know people don't love it but the teal shows up pretty well for an easy fierce look!).

Ah, the options....!

I hear ya! I was just going to skip, then I saw all of the swatches coming up and Adina's review and just lost it. I've got so many shadows I need to depot this weekend as a result. I've got my IPA, my Dremel tool and a syringe, so this hopefully will go very quickly with no casualties.

OT: Also, according to some individuals, I now have a thank you button. Now not to seem even more annoying than I already am, I don't have a button to thank other people back. Just a quote button shows up on all of your profiles, so color me embarrassed. I guess I'll have to breakdown and actually use the rep. button to thank people. But I want you all to know that I still view these as conversations on the internet with very talented and interesting people and you still don't have to thank me. You all entertain and enlighten me enough during the day to keep me out of mischief! You all better than a bag of Orange Chocolate Milanos.

Back on Topic: I'm such a twit that I forgot I could B2M for these at the freestanding counter, until tonight. Now I can afford to pick up all seven, then depot these and go back for an eighth one if I feel the need. Mow if MAC would only allow us to B2M for the kohl powers, my day would be made. I really, really need all of this, especially Feline.

Back on topic, I hope that I pick up enough to B2M as well for another collection. But I really have to limit myself to 4... but I'm think of trading out Talent Pool for Smoke and Diamonds. Or maybe Top Hat. I have no idea. Which one do you feel is more unique of Talent Pool and Top Hat? (You're a smart shopper, so I'm asking.) =)

Hi!

How does Sunset B. differ from Swish? Could anyone post a swatch of these side by side to Starflash swatches thread?

Thank you already.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed and posted swatches. I have one question...are these worth buying just for the texture? It looks like alot of the neutrals/browns are dupable.

Nope, I just skipped Sonic Chic and most of Electroflash. And I'm B2M for the Starflash eye shadows. I'm saving for the Manish Arora and Cult of Cherry collections. I just close my eyes and pretend the rest of the collections don't exist.

B2M is definitely my friend too! It softens the blow since I have tons of empties lying around that *needed* to be put to good use

I hear you. I've only depotted about a dozen, but have a couple dozen more to do. I use the no heat method, but am switching to a dremel to cut lip of the plastic enclosure that hold the pan. Wire cutters just don't cut it, no pun intended. Hopefully I'll get them all done this weekend, then it's off to MAC for Starflash. I can't wait to see these.

If the texture is as good as I've heard, I'm also guessing the MAC will make these permanent at some point.
