I absolutely HATE Passionate!!! No wonder it's called Passionate, because I HATE IT WITH A PASSION!!! Its payoff is pathetic and impossible to even layer, even when I use a good base and the 239 brush. It makes my eyes look bloodshot and irritated. My eyes actually do get a bit irritated from trying to pack on the color so much. Don't get me wrong, the color is pretty in the container, but it just doesn't work as an eye shadow, if ANYTHING.
Parfait Amour doesn't show up enough, either.
Stars N' Rockets has really lame payoff for such a beautiful color. I'm so glad MAC made Pink Pearl pigment. I need to get some of that stuff...
I really dislike all Lustre and Velvet finish eye shadows by MAC. A lot of the Mattes suck, too. However, not all of the Matte2s are terrible. (I love Post Haste, but I need to find out how to wear it...)
