It will be a nice coppery color....I also read that it does not look like EP. If they are swatched on the arm, back of hand they may look different than on the eye. Personally, I don't think it will have the pinkish look of EP

Its such a pretty pink. I think most of us got this because of how unique it is, and personally I have been searching for a PINK eyeshadow. Lets just say....this will not disappoint The finish on these shadows are sooooooo creamy. Its great! Unbelievably creamy. I cant wait to depot these bad boys, and buy more! Gooooooooooooooo STARFLASH lol

thanks to ur review I want those ones now even MORE! I am obsessed w/ pinks...way too many e/s and lippies but sunset b sounds amazing!

I can't believe you already got your stuff!!! Glad to hear that Sunset B. doesn't disappoint though, that is the one I'm most looking forward too

This is the one time I hate living in So Cal... my order processed/shipped last night, but its not scheduled to be delivered until Monday!

I did post it last night...did you get a chance to look? I forgot to do a look with it today...well, not really forgot, but it was downstairs from doing the swatching and I was upstairs...

And I am loving Feline! I may just have to go back and get the others. It does not smudge too much on me as long as I have e/s on as a liner. Glad you all talked me in to it!

I have it too, but it doesn't seem to show up right on me, it kinda just looks black

I got my package a few hours ago, and I can't put them down. I rarely can say I have to have a backup of a shadow, but I just placed another order for a backup of smoke and diamonds. It is so gorgeous. I'm going to my Macy's counter tomorrow to get my sister one for her birthday because I know she will love it too.

I ordered all of the shadows and my favorites were smoke and diamonds, sunset b., lotusland, top hat, and go.

My talent pool was smashed but of course MAC is second day shipping me a new one. It is such a pretty color as well. I have waternymph, parrot...big t, every blue green shadow you could think of, and there is something about this that I love it so much. I'm guessing it's the texture because they are so, so smooth.

Grand Enterance was really beautiful too. The only one I don't really care for is Dreammaker, and that's because the texture kind of sucks on mine. It's not nearly as smooth as the other shadows.

I also got 2 feline pencils, my HG pencil.... totally love it, does not smudge on me at all.

It sounds great, but I have no idea how to make it work.
Maybe with a purple. But apart from that?
How do you wear it?

so maybe I can pass it?

I will get the cool eyes palette from Colour Forms and Deep Truth twice with the Manish Arora palette and the Shadowy Lady Quad from Cult of Cherry.
So I guess I can pass Star by Night... but I know myself...

I will def. pass the powders from Colour Forms and the pigments, too - that could be a reason to get Star By Night?
Decisions, decisions...

I only passed on 2 colors in the starflash collection & that is one of them cause I though it was very dupable(and Idon't wear that color blue enought to need another one)

But for example I do love the color of Climate Blue but find it hard to work with.

Are these new finishes easier to blend?
