The color is definitely similar almost the same color. Sweet Sienna is much more shimmery with gold and copper pearl and sheer than Smoke and Diamonds. Smoke and Diamonds is opaque and lush as a color.

Fertile is more...blackened and a bit warmer than Top Hat, which is definitely cooler in tone.

can anyone tell me if Tan pigment is similar to Bold and Brazen?

So I was finally able to pick up BB & Glamour Check yesterday!! These were the only two (aside from the 2 blues) I didn't get! So now I have all but the 2 blues.
This morning on my way to work I used both on my eyes... It was the weirdest thing... Using Glamour check in the crease and outter V and BB on the lid... it came out totally different than how it looks in the pot. It looked like the same exact combo when I use Clue in crease and outter V and expensive pink on the lid. I'm not really sure why the colors changed so much on me. GRANTED... I WAS doing this in 8am traffic with the sun blaring on my face...lol. Not the safest way to put makeup on... BUT it works when I'm running late for work. Lucky for me, traffic doesn't move to darn fast!
Just very weird how the colors sort of changed on me. I'll have to try the combo again while I'm at home and not rushed. It was just odd. It still looked good but... It looked the same.
Still love those 2 colors though!! Glad I bought them.

What is there not to love about smoky eyes? They're fantastic!

Originally I bought five Starflash shadows on eBay (we never got these goodies at the one and only counter in Finland) and ended up keeping two, of which I'm considering of selling the other. I was seriously disappointed with the pigmentation and staying power of these shadows. Ok, they're meant to be everyday-appropriate, layerable shades but jeeesh do they need some serious packing. Luckily they do blend very nicely, but on me they tend to wear off during the day and for some reason they tickle my eyes a bit (hardly any MACs except piggies, Blacktrack FL and some MES's do this). Lotusland and Talent Pool were the first two to go. Then I got rid of Top Hat (this was basically a slightly purplish dirt grey on me, one could only dream of the fab colour you see in the pot). Now I'm thinking whether I should keep Mink & Sable or not. It's almost brown on me and really not very flattering. Smoke & Diamonds is so pretty with the Family Silver MES and Soft Ochre Paint Pot. If only it stayed in place through the day... I wonder if these shadows were meant to be applied wet?

Hi, I dont think you are imagining things!!! To my eyes, B&B is the same as Expensive pink. When I was in Mac the MA there swatched them for me & came to the this conclusion also. Maybe the texture is different, but color seems almost identical.
I dont know about glamour check though.

Lately I have been inadventantly buying colors that end up looking the same even though Im very careful!!!

Not on me, but Expensive Pink and BB were almost identical on my skin.

When you type in all caps, it is as though you are yelling. Also, it's hard on the eyes, making it more difficult to read what you've typed.

Bunny!!! Now I have to go back and buy those shadows! Oh, how I wish you worked here in Toronto. I would never worry that I was being given bad advise.

These are LE but by the looks of things, all are still available on the website except for S&D, so I'm guessing you'll still have time to grab some for a while yet...or the CCOs might get them if not already!!

Anyways just wanted to share that I *finally* received my last installment of Starflash yesterday in the mail (it got lost and they had to ship a new one out, so a month and a half after I ordered, finally received!). In this batch, I got:

-Talent Pool
-Raven KP
-Feline KP

I love love love the Kohl Power Pencils!! Raven is beautiful, I'm seriously contemplating a backup of this bad boy since it's still available. Feline is also great, such an amazing, true black.

On another note, is anyone else's Starflash e/s sitting unused since they came out? I feel bad since I was so excited for this collection and bought half of the e/s, but they're hard to keep on throughout the day...HOWEVER, I talked to my MA and she said that she likes to use them with other finishes, particularly matte2 colors, to keep them lasting longer and such. So maybe that's what I need to do, mix 'em in with the rest of the colors.
