Eye Shadow -MAC - Dazzlelight
amby069 4/18/2006 7:25:00 PM
LOVE! The toned down version of Nylon. reminds me alot of LE Casa Blanca(Salsabelle collection). Definite staple for me! It gives you a pretty shimmer without the over the top frost I.e. Nylon.... though I do love nylon but very LIGHT during the day, however at night... Nylon is my girl! :)

LOVE IT! Bummer its LE. I usually wear it on the inner lid (top and bottom) over Lucky Jade S/S and Parrot on the outer lid (top and bottom) over Sea Me S/S, some Casa Blanca on the browbone and Smolder liner. Makes my eyes neon!! LOVE IT!

Lip Gloss -MAC - Mouthwatering lipglass
amby069 4/17/2006 1:45:00 PM
Love it! Beautiful nude with gold frost! Love it. Does resemble alot of older LE glosses but in my opinion so does the WHOLE SWEETIE CAKES LINE! There are some standouts though but I took one lippie off because I'm starting to fall off the MAC band wagon due to all the LE colors and then relaunching the same colors and changing the names......do they think we are stupid? UPDATE: I have been wearing this CONSTANTLY! Love it, evemn by itself it awesome! People are comparing it to C-Thru but I think it is soooo much better! C-thru can have that milky effect where MW is just the almost clear golden gloss! LOVE! Am buying a back-up this weekend! gave it an extra lippie

Eye Shadow -MAC - Greensmoke
amby069 4/14/2006 2:35:00 PM
Finally caved in and bought this (due to all the rave reviews) and LOVE it!! Fabulous color! Comes out more smokey hunter green/black than green (however I throw some Humid or Stila Jade over it a tada GREEN!) but gorgeous none the less. Surprisingly made my green eyes pop! I paired it in the crease with Woodwinked on the lid, and shroom mixed with Dazzlelight in the brow and it was soooo pretty! Can't wait to start using it with other colors! BTW if you are worried about trying it due to it being a Lustre (I'm sooo NOT a fan of lusters!) don't worry this is one of the FEW Lustres that is actually blendable and doesn't feel gritty! :) Yeah for Greensmoke!

Eye Shadow -MAC - Nocturnelle Eyeshadow
amby069 4/14/2006 2:30:00 PM
LOVE IT! Have been holding off on buying just because I typically dont wear much purple, however I just bought the Mauve Pink Pigment (from Sweetie Cakes) and wanted a nice crease color so I bought it nand they look FANTASTIC together with Seedy Pearl in the brow and sketch as liner! Great color for green eyed girls!

Lipstick -MAC - Strawberry Blonde
amby069 4/14/2006 2:24:00 PM
LOVE! When one of the girls put this on me I was like WHAT? I soooo would not have picked this for myself! But I LOVED it on me and I got so many compliments and people asking me what lip color I was wearing. Normally I LOVE coral/peachy lips but ONLY in gloss form. So Happy I tried something new. My mom loves it too! I wear it alone, or with Love nectar gloss on top when I want more shine, or to really kick it up I use Whirl lip liner, Strawberry Blonde and Slicked Pink lip gelee for shine! Always gets lots of raves! Definitely try it if you can!

Lip Gloss -MAC - Petit Four
amby069 4/14/2006 2:06:00 PM
Great color! IMO this is LE Tartlette they just changed the name. I had my Tartlette with me and put it on the top lip and Petit on the bottom lip and there was no difference. So you girls who love Tartlette and are out..... grab Petit Four

Eye Shadow -MAC - Pigment - Lily White
amby069 4/14/2006 2:02:00 PM
Reminds me ALOT of Goldenaire but maybe a shade or 2 lighter. If you got Goldenaire from the Lingerie Collection (or even Deckchair from the D'Bohemia which I think is the same as Goldenaire IMO when I swatched the 2) then get one of the other pigments, but if you dont have it then Lily White will be a nice addition to your collection. UPDATE: After using it more I realize it has alot more of a white frost look as opposed to the peachiness of Goldenaire. There are also glitter chunks in WL as well (reminds me of Fairy Lite pigment). VERY shimmery frost, I find it too much as a highlight for daytime and prefer goldenaire, however it's great for nightime when you're going out. Glad I have a sample just to have but I won't be buying the full size jar

Eye Shadow -MAC - Pinked Mauve pigment
amby069 4/14/2006 1:58:00 PM
When I first got this I thought it was pretty close to Star Violet so I did a swap test and its very different. More purple. I love it. I'm a NC25 golden olive skin and surprisingly this color works well for me (normally I dont like pinky plums). Make my green eyes neon! I've been wearing it on the lids with Nocturnalle in the crease, Seedy Pearl in the brow with Sketch as a liner and its really pretty! I imagine it would be great with Trax, Hepcat, beauty marked, and carbon, I just got it so I haven't had time to experiment but I have to say it was my favorite of the new pigments and of the Sweetie Cakes line in general (not a big fan of the Sweetie Cake launch to be honest).

Eye Shadow -MAC - 4 Sweetie Cakes Quad
amby069 4/14/2006 1:48:00 PM
I'm not impressed with this quad. Its just ehhhh.. I actually did a color swatch of some older colors next to the quad colors and this is what I came up with. The lightest color Almond Icing is almost exactly like vex (I prefer vex to be honest) The pink color Gateaux is a version of Phloof or pink freeze. The aqua color Sugar Blue is GOD AWEFUL! Chalky!!! the only color I can compare it to would be Aquadisiac, but without the Lustre, but not NEARLY as pretty! The Dark purple Demi Sweet is the only half decent color in the quad but it looks like Nocturnalle and/or Trax when applied to the skin. If you have any of the above colors I wouldn;t bother with this palette and even if you dont have them I would suggest going to the Pro store and making a palette with these other colors instead. Mine is going back to MAC. UPDATE: So I tried to give this palette another shot, and I still hate it! Still stand by what I said, so many better duplicates that are already in the MAC line. TOTALLY disagree that Demi sweet looks like Shale or Flirty Number which have more of a GRAY toned purple.

Lip Gloss -MAC - lipglass stain in silly
amby069 4/13/2006 6:11:00 PM
I've has this forever and I really like it. I dont find it any more sticky than the lipglass. I personally like the heavy feeling because I tend to have lips on the dryer side so I am constantly backing on chapstick and gloss, so I guess I'm just used to it :) So sad its discontinued. There are alot of look alikes out there though now so I'm sure I'll find a replacement. Prr is close and so is Smashbox Candid (love it!)

Eye Shadow -MAC - Chromezone #1
amby069 4/13/2006 5:02:00 PM
I bought this palette after I tried it at a friends house. I have golden skin and green eyes and I had just dyed my hair this bright burgandy red color and these color looked GREAT on me! I've since changed back to blonde and red highlights so I dont use this palette as much but I still find myself reaching for it from time to time. Love Brule (cream with shimmer) and Mystery (blackish plummy brown bought the pallete mostly for this color and Pickle). I was lemming for Pickle when I bought it and mixed with the other colors I really like this one (green with sparkle), but alone I'm not a big fan. Gleam is my least favorite (glittery peachy gold). Looks beautiful in the pot but barely shows up, is gritty (due to being a lustre), however in its defense for some reason this version of gleam is better to work with than buying it solo. However I think this quad would have been PERFECT if they had put a color like Paradisco in Gleams place! All in all a great quad for warm skinned girls! Great fall pallete. Great for Red heads!!!

Eye Shadow -Lancome - Colour Dose-Bronze Canyon
amby069 4/12/2006 3:43:00 PM
Bought this due to the reviews and I LOVE IT! Gorgeous bronze shade. I have it on today by itself with some MAC Teddy liner! I'm a MAC paint addict! I have to say I am converting to colour dose! It goes on SOOO much smoother and I find that the MAC paints can be drying and actually make my eyelids look flaky! Which Is why I use alot of moisturizer before and ONLY use it as a base for eyeshadow. NOT WITH THESE BABIES!! SOOO happy! Am currently looking for more colors to add to my stash! Will DEFINITLY repurchase ****UPDATE*** Looks exactly like MAC Brassy fluidline. Still loving it though! I have also expanded my collection to include Montego Beige, Sable trinidad, and Spice islands!
