Hey that's some stash!
Definitely, hazel and brown eyes have the most shadow options. I've been dithering on and off about that Babylon duo. :) I'll be honest with you, the price is high but to me it's relative. I don't buy shadows much. The last one I bought was Milani "Wine and Roses" blush duo, to use as shadow. It was $3 and it didn't work. Too bright for me.
Before that...Sonia Kashuk "Opal" single for $5. I was curious to see if it was similar to MAC Vapour. I'll guess it's more similar to Yogurt but, not as much staying power. (At least it put me off buying Yogurt; too similar to Vapour.)
Before that...? I don't know. Probably my B2G1F The Body Shop shadows.
Recently I went through my stash and tossed stuff that was too old or wasn't getting used. Now I have my original 5 MAC's--Vapour, Swish, Laven-dah!, Sable and Shroom. MAC Wine eyepencil and Revlon Brown Suede Powderliner. Lancome Rose Charmant blush...I'll use this more in winter, frankly...MAC Delish, Ecco Bella Peach Frost, Bonne Bell Gotta Date? Liplix, Maybelline Wet Shine Sweet Sorbet lipsticks. And that's it.
In short I don't need any more lipsticks. That Sweet Sorbet is keeping me busy. On second thought...it does have a little bit of that wet look. Not like the ads, but it's lovely.
I won't need another blush until my Rose Charmant bites the dust and so far it's kept well. I scraped off the top layer once.
Eyepencils...dunno. Might get another MAC sometime. The colors are sublime. Wish they'd last longer on though. My Powderliner lasts longer.
I can get a Nars shadow duo. It'll be cool...I've never "Nars'd" before (although I have blogged many times :) ). It's hard to explain. I can't see buying more than one. And it would have to be something unique. Something...Givenchy Organza. I spent 60-some bucks for that. It came with a gift set and a bonus box of Givenchy perfume mini's. I've smelled good for years based on that one purchase. So to me, I want to look good for years based on that one Nars shadow duo purchase.
