Ugh . . . I might have to buy a whole quad just to get Smoking . . . sounds/looks gorgeous . . . but I have NO interest in the other three shadows. Wah.

 

[xIxSkyDancerxIx]

I don't have alot of MAC shadows... so yay~

 

[sleepyhead]

does anyone know how smoking compares to black gold? from the picture, the sparkles do not look very gold (too silvery), and i'm hoping smoking would have more glitters than black gold. *crosses fingers*

I was planning to get that quad (smokin' eyes x4) but after seeing the pics..mmm.. I don't know, I'm not so impressed anymore.. anybody feels the same way???

They ARE gold. Very gold.

Do you know how it compares with "suspicion" which was also a velvet? I hated the texture of suspicion and how the gold barely showed up.

 

[Shimmer]

Not a clue.
I haven't swatched it.

Ok all this debate about the KOHL POWERS is driving me nuts. I am going to describe it as in detail as possible. I have felt, used, swatched and played with these several times so here it goes...

Kohl Power- A soft kohl pencil (with duo-chrome color payoff) that provides extremely rich and opaque color deposit. It contains Carbon Black pigment to give the deepest, richest black pigment possible. It glides on smoother and softer than even the kohl pencils. These pencils have the most color payoff of anything I have experienced. This is the absolute ideal pencil for the waterline.

OMG - this is THE collection of the year for me, I am in heaven!!

 

[user79]

That dark red lipstick has caught my eye! I hope it is the colour I've been looking for, a vampy dark red.

For those who remember the High Tea collection, do you think the lipstick all the way to the left in the picture above is the repromote Brew or the new Barely Lit (Pink sand with gold pearl)? That one will be too light for me and I want to avoid it and buy the 3 middle ones. I'm loving the look of Ablaze so far too.

I don't know, but I *think* Brew is the first one on the left. I am not certain though. Thank goodness I have enough empties for 4 lippies! I plan to get all but the really dark one! I LOVE the look of the lip products, and will probably get 2 of the lipglasses too. Ablaze blush will be mine also. I wonder what lipstick the model is wearing... it looks kinda orange on her. If any of them are orange, I can pass. If I have enough money, after I get what I want from Blue Storm, I plan to get Silver Fog Pigment too. I got a sample and I adore it!

Still on the fence about the kohl powers. I will have to see them in person before I decide....

the model is wearing barely lit lipstick and illicit lipglass.

I have kinda pigmented lips.. but I really like some of those colors!! How would a girl like me go about wearing them??

i so agree with you about the red lipstick, i have been looking for the ultimate red lipstick for awhile now and i think that this one is it!

 

[Winthrop44]

Wow, Ablaze is looking pretty intense in the swatch forum...now I wonder if it will be wearable on someone as pale as me (NC15).
