HTH all


hmmm, I guess I might have to bring my Lusterleaf with me and swatch side by side. I'm sold on Dear Cupcake though

They are similar, though, and you could likely live without both, especially since you're several shades darker than I am - unless, of course, you really, really love that sort of colour.


That's true, on my palest time which is end of the winter (like now) I'm an NW25, still much darker than you. So you're right they might look the same on me. I do love pastels though; I wear a lot of baby blues, pale pinks and mint greens on my eyes...will have to see this colour in person then.

So my updated list is:

St Germain l/s
Dear Cupcake e/s
Aquavert e/s (maybe)

Haunting is almost more of a matte feel to it, it's not a duo color or anything and doesn't have that great of a color payoff for me... Aquavert is a Veluxe Pearl and is EXTREMELY pigmented, it's smooth to put on and gives a great color payoff with just one swipe. It's a gorgeous mint green to my eyes... @_@

MY updated list:
Perfect Topping MSF
Sugarshot Eyeshadow
Peppermint Patti Nailpolish
Lollipop Lovin' Lipstick

My list has really gone down since the swatches...

Aquavert is nothing like pagan. One is a matte chartreuse (pagan) and the other is a cool seafoam green with a slight frostiness.
Aquavert is also not similar enough to springtime skipper or juxt to warrant not getting it if you have the other 2. In my opinion, aquavert is a very unique color that I personally haven't seen recreated in the permanent line.

Btw, my review goes up on my blog in an hour :-D

AND Lure!?! I was lucky to pick one up at my local CCO, best $10 on an eyeshadow ever. I didn't expect it to be so pretty when I got it... I just knew it was green and I wanted it. Haha.
