It is perm in Europe

It was part of the Euristocrats collection last year which was Europe exclusive and perm here.

(Yes, we had an exclusive as well!)

Thanks that helped! I didn't like shroom because it had this too-warm-reddish kinda look on me? I wanted something like shroom but a tad cooler and 3 shades lighter or so, and Phloof was nice in terms of color depth, but it was a tad too pink for me. And the frost is at my frost maximum, LOL. I was hoping that sugarshot would be the right match for me.

But I guess I'll have to see it in person for myself...

I am marching in to pro on monday and giving them a piece of my mind :shakes fist:

...and by piece of mind i mean spending lots of money

 

[Susanne]

I am hoping for the tax returning here

And maybe there will be a little bit left for Rose Romance...

Peppermint Patty...I just love the same of it! It was so pretty in the container. I'm not into nails though.

I don't own any shadesticks. Are they better to use than paints??

What are you planning to get from this collection?

 

[njoy]

My list for this collection:
- Peppermint Patty NL
- Aquavert e/s
- One of the MSFs

I haven't tried a MAC nailpolish before. I've read that you need a lot of coats to get it to show up. Will using a base coat help?

Yet another pale peachy MSF? pass! I only like how perfect topping looks in the pot, but if I want eye-candy Ill just stare at my grand duo's that Ill actually use.

I wear under all my greens, blues, teals and even grays. Also Gorgeous Gold e/s looks great over this. Greenstroke is one of my favourite pigments

I actually just used this today. I have posted my look under FOTD section so check it out if you like

No, Saint Germain in the US is Limited Edition.

Yaaaay, that's great to know. I will definitely go there in my Summerbreak

 

[BloodMittens]

Not going to get Perfect Topping now

I thought it was going to be a dupe for Lightscapade, or at least a nice replacement. NOPE!

Booooo.

At first I thought Perfect Topping, but I really have to use that over blush so I would say Refined cause I can use it alone. I do love them both, MSF's are my drug of choice!

 

[twilightessence]

Ugh, I'm so sad. I couldn't find the PRO store

. I was short on time and on temper so I drove around for half an hour and had to go meet a friend.

BUT its okay... I will have much more money on Thursday so I will just go to my regular store. I think my list is:

Refined
Dear Cupcake
Aquavert
Lollipop Loving (I had it from Heatherette and loved it but found recently that I've lost it somehow )
Butternutty
Maybe Red Velvet

Everything else I'll have to look at in person, but I'm still on a tight budget.

I wore Sugarshot today and I'm in love. I'm going to get a couple of backups of this shadow. It's not the best texture, but I'm used to that as some of my favorite eyeshadows had the same consistency. If you liked Goldbit or Solar White, you'd like this one. It is frosty and today I put it on over Butternutty shadestick, gorgeous. It lasted all day with no creasing and was super frosty, but I like that.

The texture is very different, the shadestick is creamier and thicker.
Greenstroke pp is greener and Cakeshop s/s is frostier and grayer.
Here's a swatch: clickable, Greenstroke:left and Cakeshop:right




FYI: You need to close the caps of the s/s really well, or they will dry out. The cap clicks once, but then it clicks again to completely close them.

You can look at a couple of them and pick out one with more lavender veining, but once it's blended, it comes out a peachy/pink color.

Peppermint Patty is greener.
