I have both. I use them in different ways. Shadowy Lady I use in the crease for a smokey look, and since Fertile has more color payoff, I use it along the lid with smudged liner and in the inner corner of my eyes.

Thank you!!

Coco Pigment is similar to Satin Taupe e/s and Fuchsia Pigment is similar to Dollymix Blush IMHO!

I just realized... Warm Me Girl e/s (from the Dolly Mix quad) is a dead-ringer for Mythology, which I recently picked up from a member here. There may be a hair of a difference between them but definitely not enough to warrant having both!

After doing a few swatches...if you have Pinked Mauve or Rose pigment you don't need Revved-Up from the Rushmetal collection.

Um, hi!

Just wanted to say I was chatting on Live Chat to see what I could buy instead of Firespot and Going Bananas.

She said that the closest thing to Going Bananas=Nylon and Chrome Yellow

And

Firespot= Orange with Amber Lights.

That is it!

I mixed Cranberry and Star Violet together and got a perfect dupe for Lovestone e/s. Just wanted to say that!

Null, I take it back - I love Firespot and Off the Radar, just differently, take a peek (Both dry swatches). Originally I commented that if you love Firespot you wouldn't need to buy Off the Radar b/c you may be disappointed. After swatching them together I still LOVE firespot but I do too enjoy having Off the Radar. BTW if you want Off the Radar to come out with more impact just use is w/ water or mixing medium (only obvious, LOL). Anyhoo I hope this helps someone...


Firespot e/s on the left & Off the Radar Pigment on the right

ooh, no way! it probably varies depending on your skintone, but i'm extremely pale [as in a touch too light for nc15] and nylon shows up with a distinct gold/pastel yellow tone, whereas shroom is much more neutral.

^^ Agreed. I think Rose Blanc and Nylon are really similar with Nylon being lighter and more white; I also think a lot of colors similar to Nylon have been released with LE collections, but I think Shroom is pretty differnt. It is far more beige and less bright than Nylon, I love it.

That's a really good dupe list, except I don't think Goldmine and Juiced are similar. Especially because Juiced has an orangey color pay off opposed to Goldmine's straight shimmer/sheen. Also Romping isn't close to Endless Love/Purple Showers. The effect is different.
