                <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Overall,</strong> I found that Matte2 (pronounced Matte Squared, for those who were unsure!) was a collection of some new colors, some duplicates, but I also realize that these are all using a new matte formula, and as a result, have replaced (and probably will end up replacing more in the future) existing shades with the old matte formula. These are like butter; creamy, smooth, and the pay off is incredible. I like that they came right out with 16 shades, rather than giving us a few now, and then throwing us more limited edition ones as time went on. They really are revamping the permanent collection by putting 16 new eyeshadows into the mix, and I really love that. Liquidlast liner is always fun, and I must have missed Inky and Inkspill, because they seem totally new to me!</p>
<p><strong>Plush Lash:</strong>  Okay, I didn&#8217;t have much time to really play with this, but I did get to put a few coats on quickly, and I really did love the length, thickness, and subtle curl of the mascara.  I&#8217;m thinking it just might be a keeper, but I have to use it in a real look first.</p>
<p><strong>Eyeshadows</strong><br />
<strong>Blanc Type</strong> &#8212; If you&#8217;ve ever wanted a bright matte white, this is it! No shimmer to be found, just pure white. It isn&#8217;t gray, it isn&#8217;t pink, just white.<br />
<strong>Brown Script</strong> &#8212; I&#8217;m reminded of Texture eyeshadow, but of course, this is matte texture, which means it is an excellent crease color to increase the depth and definition of your natural eyes.<br />
<strong>Clarity</strong> &#8212; A lot of people are comparing this to Electric Eel, and it isn&#8217;t a bad comparison; they really are alike. I do like this formula better, even though Electric Eel has great color pay off. However, if you already own Electric Eel and find yourself rarely reaching for it, Clarity probably isn&#8217;t of much value to you!<br />
<strong>Copperplate</strong> &#8212; A gray-plum, which will make a great lid color for a more subtle or downplayed smoky eye this fall.<br />
<strong>Fig. 1</strong> &#8212; This is such a gorgeous purple; it reminded me of what I wished Creme de Violet would have looked like. It&#8217;s a lovely grape purple, with a bit more brightness.<br />
<strong>Flourishing</strong> &#8212; A subtle shade of olive green, which I think is fabulous, because the line really needed this shade of green. I love the matte greens like Femme Noir and Velvet Moss (I think this is a satin) &#8211; and now there&#8217;s something more toned down but still matte.<br />
<strong>Graphology</strong> &#8212; Dark, smoldering purple &#8211; deliciously smooth and perfect for that sultry smoky eye.<br />
<strong>Handwritten</strong> &#8212; This might end up being a new brow filler color for me! It&#8217;s a warm chocolate brown, and because of the texture, the pay off is excellent and velvet smooth.<br />
<strong>Newly Minted</strong> &#8212; Remember Melody? It was discontinued quite a while ago, but here it is, revamped and better than ever with a new name. Truly, I immediately thought of Melody, which had pretty good pay off, but this seemed like it would apply even smoother and with more pop.<br />
<strong>Pen &#8216;N&#8217; Pink</strong> &#8212; There is a color in the Liza AM quad (old, limited edition) that&#8217;s very similar to this, because it is the same light white-pink and matte finish, but this has far better payoff. The other one ends up being a bit chalky, whereas this one is creamy. I found this had a bit less color pay off than the other 15, though.<br />
<strong>Poison Pen</strong> &#8212; Another grayish purple color, but this time, it&#8217;s more purple than gray. It&#8217;s almost like a chalky purple, but not in texture, just in the color &#8211; toned down, wearable.<br />
<strong>Post Haste</strong> &#8212; If you have Passionate, you&#8217;ll find yourself wondering if these two are twins. Their difference is in texture, in feel. I would say I&#8217;d pick Post Haste over Passionate, though. It&#8217;s such a pretty hot pink.<br />
<strong>Prussian</strong> &#8212; I love the name! A dark blue, not quite navy, because there is still some brightness to it, but this gorgeous shade of a deep sea blue. I&#8217;m reminded a tad of Deep Truth, without all of the shimmer.<br />
<strong>Signed, Sealed</strong> &#8212; A darker chocolate brown in color, and I think a lot will love this color for its earth tone and how easy it will be to incorporate it into neutral and work-safe looks.<br />
<strong>Tete-A-Tint</strong> &#8212; An orange-pink, peachy almost, which reminds me more of spring than the fall, but I think it is a gorgeous shade. I can&#8217;t think of a similar color in the MAC line that would compare well against this.<br />
<strong>Typographic</strong> &#8212; Ever wished for a less black Carbon? This is it. A gray-black in the this new creamy formula, and I can&#8217;t wait to see people use it in some smokey eyes.</p>
<p><strong>Liquidlasts</strong><br />
<strong>Electrolady</strong> &#8212; This is one of my favorite liquidlast liners; it such a vibrant violet color, and one of my favorite ways to line my lower lash line (and then add a touch of Stars &#8216;n Rockets eyeshadow on top for a real pop!).<br />
<strong>Coco Bar</strong> &#8212; I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever really been a huge fan of brown liner for myself, so I found this color passable, though it&#8217;s a lovely rich deep brown.<br />
<strong>Inkspill</strong> &#8212; Oh, what a gorgeous deep teal color. Looking at these, I was reminded of the jewel tones of fall.<br />
<strong>Inky</strong> &#8212; Another jewel tone, a deep blue, not too bright or bold, and I, of course, fell in love with it.<br />
<strong>Point Black</strong> &#8212; Who doesn&#8217;t love a pitch black liquid liner?</p>
