I have Star Memoir Lipglass, and now I’m also wanting Counting Stars Lipglass, and also Stairs To The Stars eyeshadow.
Did we really need Swing on a Star and Stars Align? Is there anyone for whom one would “work” and the other not?
If I put them side-by-side on the eye, would the color difference register from three feet away?
They are pretty different – maybe refresh the page? I’m not sure why the swatch would duplicate itself. One is a purplish-gray and the other is much darker with green and gold flecks.
I had to look back at the names, because I thought you were talking about the lipglasses. Lol. The shadows look on my tablet as Christine described. But those sheer lipglasses look virtually indistinguishable to me. OUAT I bought 3-4 colors of similar sheers, and they were indistinguishable on, as well. Maybe too much lip showing…but, never again.
On my monitor, they’re very different colors! I see a medium pewter-y gray base/shimmer next to a forest green shimmer over a deep olive brown base.
Stars Align and Wishful Thinking look so pretty at first, but upon further inspection, those swatches look a bit sketchy.
I purchased Swing on a Star and it is absolutely gorgeous! The colors are so complex and it’s so wet looking. I can already tell it’s going to be my go to one-and-done for any upcoming holiday parties I can’t manage to get out of going!
The Spellbinder shadows look pretty good, especially the Stars to the Stars shade.
The “pigmented” glosses are much too patchy — wouldn’t work for my blotting approach.
So, not buying the lip with the atrocious name. That is an easy decision. I do love the shadows and have a couple from previous launches. They perform pretty well for me. Stairs to the Stars is very pretty and appears quite complex. I have to go to Spokane in a few days and will check it out then. Thank you for the swatches, Christine.
