need help cutting down my shopping cart!

[Mandyfin]

I have just started buying MAC and have become obsessed quickly.
I am up to 8 shadows this week.

I am getting a few more as a gift and I need to narrow them down to about 7. Please help!

I already have:

Yogurt
Shale
Print
Nocturnelle
Plum Dressing
Humid
Stars N Rockets
Beautiful Iris

In my cart:
Creme de Violet
Parfait Amour
Phloof!
Trax
Swish
Digit
Pink Freeze

I am pretty sure I am getting Steamy, Twinks, Plumage

I am very light skinned with pink tones and hazel green eyes. Any suggestions on what I have that I don't need or what I may be missing?

thank you!

Hi! I'm kind of a newbie myself, but from what I've read, Humid and Steamy are pretty much the same. Also, a ton of people really dislike Trax and say that it's nothing like it looks in the pan (I agree) and that the texture makes it hard to apply evenly. I love it, though.. and the same goes for Creme de Violet.

I really like bronzey colors for green eyes, maybe you wanna try something like Mythology? And since you're investing in so many great eyeshadows right now, I would definetely get a base to make them even prettier and stay on longer! If you don't have oily lids, a paint pot would probably suffice, something along the lines of your skintone like bare study..

Are you ordering all your shadows online? If you have a counter/store near you, I think it would be best to go and play around with the colors and see if you like the textures
Also, there's threads on here called something like "Worst MAC eyeshadows" or "Favorite eyeshadows" or "Favorite e/s combinations". Reading thejm can give you a good picture of which ones look similar, are hard to apply and things like that. hth

Thank you! From what I see, Humid is a bright emerald green but Steamy is more turquoise.... I think Steamy is more similar to Shimmermoss.
I was considering Mythology but I am afraid of the red tone against my pink skin.
Thanks - I will check out those threads!

As long as you have something closest to the eye, like a black eyeliner, I love using red-based e/s on my light NW skin. Just have something to blend with if the shadow looks to bruise-y, but I don't see that happening with Mythology. Good luck!
