She Shines Collection - What I Learned About Them That You Might Want To Know

[syrene78]

Ok, I am going now, I will take my camera to take pictures of the swacthes.
Not sure though if they will allow me to take picture in the store.
I may just end up take back my arm with the swatches back home before I take pictures! LOL! I will look like a cloown!

I am steph9 on MUA by the way.


Talk to you later!

Okay! I will look for you either there or here! If I am not online when you post them, will you send me a page on MUA to let me know you posted photos?

Thanks!!!

i didn't see Kelly on Sweetscents, which color were you using?

I really like the new pigments there are a few that look kinda the same in the jar but on the skin next to eachother (depending on the base) they look really different I would at least get some samples to compare.

Speaking of Parrot.. Does anyone happen to have their original box that Parrot came in when they bought it?
I'd like to know the list of ingredients, if anyone could?
Thanks!

Swatches

I went to the Mac Pro and I wanted to post you some swatches tonight but I am experiencing a lot of problems:
1- My camera took some awfull pictures and I had to take some other pictures once at home of some new swatches.
2-My camera takes too big pictures and i can't post any neither on Specktra nor or MUA...
I am really pissed!!!
My husband wants to get me a new camera, in fact this one is his...

-But overall, I have to admitt that Azreal Blue is the nicest.
-Golder's Green is very pretty too, very green, and shimmertime is barely visible on my skin and I am a NW15. But I like it. Nice I guess on a darker skin such as a N5.
-Night Light is a very dark green, nice as an eye liner?
--Sunnydaze is a warm Gold Dusk, more Golden, stunning.
-Sunpepper is very sheer. I am a bit disappointed by it. Dark and sheer?
Unsual. I don't know how it can be used yet.
Dazzleray is almost COCO!!! But has nore gold in it if you have a very good eye for color, you will see it. It's a good replacement for Coco and I think that it's even nicer!

I hope that helped a bit...
Only one more week to go guys, be patient!

I will edit a post on the new coming collections tomorrow.

almost all digital cameras take big pics, the better the camera is, the bigger the picture is. The best way is to install photo editting software that can resize your pic. That's really easy. I am using Faststone now which is free.

Anyways, can't wait for your pics!

When you take the pics and put them on your computer, open them in microsoft photoeditor or in even paint, and resize them, then you can upload them to photobucket and post thumbnails for people to click on!

I agree with you about Azreal Blue. It looks the prettiest from the pics I have seen. If Sunnydaze is a warm Gold Dusk it will be what I was hoping Gold Dusk would be. I can't wait.

I have the jars in front of me and sunnydaze is more like coco then anything else and dazzle ray is more of the warmer color I think.

I think that you have to ask for Kelly from the lady when you order at the end. I order the 12 pack of 10g jars and you have to list what you want in the notes at the end anyway, so we all just put kelly in there.

They have not redone the site yet to include all of their 350 colors. :/

I paged you about this- I can help.

What are you looking for specficially?

 

[JesusShaves]

i thought i was going to get a few of the pigments, but when i saw them in person, they were quite boring. Since i was in the pro store i checked out the 'normal' stand and that was waaaay more exciting!

great job on the parrot

), you can press em and have it as an e/s

 

[Sushi_Flower]

I totally felt like i was looking at 'mixtures' of pigments when i saw this collection. Though i don't know what Dazzleray is a mix of? That's the one i bought.

SunPepper = Blue Brown + Rose to me!

What normal ones did you get? I was seriously thinking of buying some of the *normal* ones and forgetting some of the She Shines ones, but I might cave anyway and get She Shines- I only wish I could see them in person -THAT would solve a lot!!!

Oooo I wish I could go see these before buying. But I am forced to order only. Then it is too late to try again.

The she shines pigments are so EH, i saw the pics online and was so excited. Maybe you could get some cheap small samples, then figure out which full jars you'd want

) I can't imagine how annoying it must be not being able to see things in life. Well, since the uk didnt get sweetie cake i kinda understand.

I didnt get any of the standard ones from pro i have a few jars and lots of samples that i hardly use. I felt there weren't any stand outs, maybe azreal blue but i wouldnt buy a whole jar of it since its not something i'd use much. Golders Green was a huge let down for me, it was quite bland. I decided to just get the two greens from lure.

The funny thing is, the first jar from the stand i picked up, i thougt YES IM GETTIN THIS, tested it, it was so pretty... then i looked at the label and it was melon, which i already have hehe!

 

[Colorqueen]

Melon! HAHAHAH

I have done that. I get all wowed in a store about something and it is one I already have!

I am thinking of buying Landscape Green, Pink Vivid, French Violet, and a few others. I love the mattes sometimes depending on the colors. Pink Vivid is gorgeous.

I have like 45 MAC pigments, so I am not sure what else there is to get- but I want a few other pigments that are worth getting.

I want to see the new ones so badly, but by the time I get samples, they will be sold out anyway. But then again, there is nothing more frustrating than buying new pigments and then being bored and disappointed when you see them.

The see saw continues to bounce up and down......

MAC is kind of frustrating now.
