Some type of greens make my eyes look punched and silvers read too cool. Some warm browns look super muddy... The list goes on. Frosts are not easy to wear for most of us, I think light hand is the key, which is what I don't have LOL.sawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709563883992725006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-73682689145878214742014-08-07T14:52:11.634+02:002014-08-07T14:52:11.634+02:00It is a though call between these and Armani's...It is a though call between these and Armani's Solos. Here the prices are also almost the same since we get a little bit of discount for Armani and none for Nars. If I were to get just one of them, I would also go for Armani. I mean not all the shades but all in all I find them to be more wearable and more complex. For example #21 clearly wins against Phoebe in my book. Which Armani shades did you get?sawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709563883992725006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-12685008185755993492014-08-07T14:49:02.957+02:002014-08-07T14:49:02.957+02:00Hi Carolyn, now I am excited to find out how you l...Hi Carolyn, now I am excited to find out how you like Andromeda. Since I can't swatch them in person, I a grateful for each and every review.

However Nars reformulated their eye shadows and these dual intensities are not chalky at all. They might be frosty from time to time though ;-) I haven't tried Laguna, nor do I have Orgasm blush. Yes red/pink, loving it atm. As you already pointed out Chanel's matte rabbit pink, I got it too, I will post about it soon.<br />Xoxsawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709563883992725006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-4967359239391638422014-08-07T14:41:20.171+02:002014-08-07T14:41:20.171+02:00I know what you mean.

I believe if you apply Callisto with a fluffier softer brush, it might have give a nice effect. I am just used to apply full on and this one is not made for it lol.sawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709563883992725006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-29875552518403246752014-08-07T14:39:48.106+02:002014-08-07T14:39:48.106+02:00Hi Jo,

Let me tell you this way, I had some other FOTD with Phoebe and looked at these both and found out they were too similar to justify publishing them both, lol. Those two you got, are they more natural shades? sawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709563883992725006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-73984925405751160202014-08-07T09:15:36.859+02:002014-08-07T09:15:36.859+02:00Sara I think they look amazing on you-I did swatch...Sara I think they look amazing on you-I did swatch most if these I loved them all-I bought desdemona and two others who's names I cannot remember at the moment-phoebe us on my list-the prettiest purple!Makeupremasteredhttp://makeupremastered.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-814940383412167152014-08-07T00:42:21.449+02:002014-08-07T00:42:21.449+02:00Is it weird that I kinda like Callisto?

I hate how the packaging gets scuzzy so quickly for a high end product and I find the eye shadows sometimes are a big chalky. I must be the only woman in the world who thinks Laguna is a very average bronzer that makes me look unwashed not tanned! But I do think this is a very pretty look for you. Red/ pink really is rocking the eye colours this coming season.
