so after giving a little, and i mean little, extra thought to this collection, i've decided i absolutely hate it. i hate it all. even the shadesticks. they're far too close to other colors. the MSFs are really light (sorry you darker skinned peeps. these aren't gonna look so hot on ya
). the glosses eck! the only thing i'm excited for is aquavert! i can wear it yet again!
ok, i'm done being a debbie downer. you can get back to your excitement now.

Hey Erine!How ya doin?I will not be getting any shadesticks after all,and the only shadow I like is Aquavert,which I already have.Sugarshot is just another highlighter and Dear Cupcake looks like it has a crappy texture.MAC could definately have done better regarding the shadows

Thanks for the swatches for Juxt and Aquavert
Hmm I think I can pass on Aquavert then.
Woo list cut down even more!
List:
2x Sugarshot e/s (closest dupe for this Shiseido yellow in this quad I own. NOTHING has anything close to it and it's discontinued
)
Lemon Chiffon s/s (maybe if it's close to sugarshot when put on lightly)
I'm passing on the MSF. Lolz This might sound stupid, but they're used for highlighting only? Because if I do a full face wash = shimmermania
Yea, I'm totally pulling my leg for this one because Style Warrior's packaging has my name written ALL over it.

I was wondering about how those two compared. I love Solar White, and have a back-up of it. I guess I'll just have to see if the difference in texture does anything for me!

I'm still excited! I never really appreciated shadesticks before they were discontinued for the most part! I have three now (and none that are comparable to the SS one's) so I'm very excited for these. I think they make the best base, for me anyway. My eyeshadows pop over these and stay put all day, paintpots crease a little on me. I held off on getting Beige-ing waiting for these.
So I'm still staying strong with four shadesticks, possibly Bubbles l/s (B2M) and possibly Sugarshot e/s.
I redeemed my HBC rewards today for a $60 gift card and need to depot three e/s and I'll be all ready for Sugarsweet on thursday!

sugarshot and solar white are NOTHING alike! solar white is white with yellow gold duochrome, and is silky smooth. sugarshot is a crappy lustre and is a soft yellow with no duochrome at all. the color is along the lines of dazzlelight or pollen. its completely different than solar white. COMPLETELY!!!

I thought that Sugarshot felt like a good lustre! I agree that it is close to pollen which is my favorite!

Thanks Erin!
I was starting to get worried about this one as I love Solar White!
In your opinion is sugarshot a bad lustre?

Everyone has so many B2M. I need to get on the game too. I think I only have enough for one B2M and that will be for Aquavert. I saw Aquavert at the CCO a while back and I didn't pick it up. Then I kept going and still saw it there. Once I finally decided I wanted, it was gone. Blah...it was there forever too. Oh well.I really like solar white so pretty!! I didn't think that sugarshot was all that great when I saw it.

I got to check this out in person today!!
Lipsticks:
Saint Germain: LOVE IT. It's soo barbie pink lovebunnysexscapade. I want it all over my life. twice. I don't know how to describe it besides amazing
Lollipop Lovin: Does this even need explaining? Amazing.
Bubbles: This was surprisingly great. It looks so great all over the lip with a baby pink gloss over. I didn't play too much with it with other lip colours, but it's great on it's own!
Whatever the other one is: It's a great sheer magenta. It's not a must have IMO, but so pretty!
I didn't get to check out the glasses, but they looked soooo yummy
Shadows:
Aquavert: Great colour, really sheer on me, though. Amazing if you love greens and teals, though
Dear Cupcake:
This is probably one of the best coralpink shadows ever. So smooth, not too much shimmer. Just great!
Sugarshot: Not chalky or glittery at all. Not that unique, either. It's really pretty and super pigmented, though! a great highlighter or lid shade.
Shadesticks were all AMAZING. I want them all, even though I know I won't use them.
I think Lemon Chiffon is my favorite of the bunch, followed by Butternutty.
And ohmygod.
THE MSFS ARE SOOOO GODLIKE.
SOOO smooth. Not gritty, glittery, shiny, or fug. At all. Refined is like a warm bath of love on my face. These are probably the best MSF's I've ever touched. Perfect Topping was a great highlighter shade for cheeks and eyes and lovely and I'm gonna be getting both.
My list:
Perfect Topping
Refined
Bubbles
Lollipop Lovin
Saint Germain

Lolz great. I think that's even better for me. I don't care how crappy that lustre may be because it's the only closest dupe for my Shiseido quad
Pollen and Sugarshot was literally almost tied. But hey, I rather just get Sugarshot because it's easy to find? If I'm correct, Pollen is discontinued a long time ago.

Lolz I never even B2M once. So you're already ahead of me. You got at least 6 items when I'm just like a squirrel. I'm just collecting...collecting...collecting...
