Ooh! What a bonus! 13 items, not 5! hehe 🙂
2 more for the list…
NYX Slide-On Eye Pencil in Tropical Green and MAC JEALOUSY WAKES. I know it was limited edition, but just sayin 😉
I COULDN’T PICK FIVE, haha!
I normally pull more than five, and then I narrow it down, but I couldn’t do it!
They are all so lovely, I totally understand you not being able to pick just five.
Hey Joyce, I concur, MAC Jealousy Wakes was the BEST green I’ve ever seen! But I missed out on it because back then, I had not yet begun following MAC’s LE collections. ?
I recently saw Jealousy Wakes on eBay, and at a fair price! I passed on it, but only because it’s just not a shade I would wear often, and since it was LE, I’d rather someone else grab it who would show it the love it deserves… I was quite tempted, though!
Thank you so much, Amy! Me thinks I am going on eBay tonight after the stroke of midnight and try to nab it!?
Okay, so truth be told, I am scared chicken shizz to go through eBay aka Evil-Bay! How would I know whether or not it’s counterfeit? ?
lol! There are a bunch of guides on eBay actually about not buying fake MAC specifically. I can’t imagine fakes of that shade, lol, though.
Mmmmm Iggy is so pretty. I barely have any jewel tones in my collection! Why!
That is a good question 😉
Jealousy Wakes is still my favorite too!!! Wish they would bring it back so I could stop hoarding it!
Thank you, Erin! 🙂
I love Kush. Way back when, when I couldn’t get Jealousy Wakes, I had to content myself with Kush and over time, I’ve come to love it. I only have one green nail polish – OPI’s Yodel Me on My Cell, which some say is more “teal”, but whatever it is, it’s all I need since I only wear it on my goes and green nails or lips aren’t looks I go for. Now, green liner – bring it ON! I love Sephora’s Good Mood, which I think I found thanks to you.
Kush is a really lovely shade, too. I find it brightening without being neon!
Ohhh, Bottle Green! How do I not have that?!
It’s a good one!
Nah. The limited Mac Jealousy Wakes eyeshadow tops them all.
🙂
I own, Kat Von D Iggy, Make Up For Ever ME304 Emerald, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Cosplay, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Cosplay. Would have gotten NYX Risque but I got Colourpop Bunny instead. 😉
Niice!! 🙂
I like Sephora Go For A Ride eye liner !
It’s so pigmented!
And which one of these is the closest to the emerald you wanted to create? I recently came to know about Jealousy Wakes – went through your post on the ideation, conceptualisation and work towards achieving the final colour. Wow! What a lovely journey. And such a amazing opportunity.
Definitely Iggy or ME304 🙂
As a fellow emerald green lover here, I must ask you a question, between MUFE ME304 Emerald and KVD Iggy, which, if either, is a dupe of your stunning creation, Jealousy Wakes? I ask because after 4 years, I know there’s no way of obtaining that one (PERFECTION!)
Great to see Sephora’s Go For A Ride included here! My favorite green eyeliner ever!
Greens are a big fave of mine, primarily because my eyes are on the teal or emerald side of light hazel? Hard to define or explain.
Iggy is probably a little closer, as it is cooler-toned and I didn’t want mine to be too warm-toned. It’s not quite as cool-toned, though.
Thank you for getting back to me on that! I love cooler emeralds!
I have Logan and I wear it a lot 🙂
Yay!
#8 is on my wishlist!
Awesome, Erin!
Lucky 13! These all look stunning. I love emerald greens, but good ones seem hard to find. The only one I have on this list is Risque. I want to get Empire, the two MUFE shadows, and Kush.
From what I own, my favorite emeralds are: Lip colors — Nyx Wicked Lippie in Risque, Makeup Revolution Atomic Lipstick in Serpent, and ColourPop Dr. M. Eyeshadow — Wet n Wild Color Icon Single in Envy, Tarina Tarantino Sweetzer, Milani Bella Emerald, UD Dragon, UD Junkie, and UD Damaged. Eyeliner — UD 24/7 pencil in Mars (LE), and Nyx Eye/Eyebrow Pencil in Emerald City.
Oh, there we go, Lucky 13. That is far cleverer, LOL! 😉
Rachel: Woohoo to UD Dragon and Damaged!!!! ?
Beautiful list Christine! I’ve been so into green everything lately so this list is heaven! 🙂
Thanks, Kelly!
Just LOVE emerald greens. This is one of my favourite colours. No wonder you couldn’t pick just 5. It is a great list you have composed here. Thank you Christine.
A few extras:
UD Damaged
Charlotte Tilbury The Rebel has some gorgeous greens
MAC Humid
MUFE No 80
No. 80! Classic.
Long time lurker, first time to comment! I was totally looking for Undercurrent in this list…. Realized it was more teal based than emerald, but I almost ALWAYS reach for it during the holidays, that golden sheen makes me feel all holly jolly 🙂 So Need to get my hands on Iggy and ME304
Find me on D3! (If you still play, I couldn’t believe when I saw a post long ago that you were into it too)

Happy first comment, Ashley!! 🙂
What class do you normally play?
Out of all the classes, Witch Doctor is my favorite. You?
Monk! 🙂
