Oh your eyes look incredible! Sigh, I wish I had striking eyes like blue or green. I can't wait to see how you like the base. I've never tried them because I'm afraid of creasing. And isn't the texture of Samoa Silk lovely? So soft... Love the Veluxe shadows.
Velvet Moss is the medium green. There's a dark green veluxe too I think. Anyway, I have no medium green so I need to fill that gap. Green looks great on me. I like the Silly Goose too but I already have a light and bright colour (Bitter) so I'll wait on that one. I may nix Velvet Moss from my list though. Benefit Gone Fishing is similar in depth though different in colour. One is avocado and the other artichoke according to the respective websites. I only need one green vegetable on my eyes :) (feelin' silly) Melton Mauve is different from what I already have. I don't have Laven-dah. I'm kind of scared of Melton Mauve when I look at it but the MA had done an amazing look for my eyes with it so I know it works. It's kind of the same with Nocturnelle. I may not have wanted it if the MA hadn't put it on me. In fact, I probably would never have purchased it. I wouldn't have touched the Melton Mauve either for that matter. See, my favourite eyeshadow colours are greens, purples, pinks, and neutrals in the beige and brown family. I have peach, gold, greys, and blue too but just because I needed them. Two golds (one warm, one cool), two greys (one medium, one dark), two peaches (the second one is solely the consequence of finding a Chanel quad to pretty not to buy), and two blues (one light, one dark). I'd get rid of one gold and one blue but I'm afraid of needing them later on. Back to my favourite colours. Pinks, I love, but have such a hard time with. If I don't use them properly, they make me look sick. That's why I'm still afraid of Melton Mauve. It's one of those tricky shadows for me. Anyway, since I know it can work, I have to have it so I can learn to work with it... If I didn't have to work and my skin didn't risk reacting very badly, I'd be trying different faces all day.
If I think of something purple with a blue tinge, I'll tell you. At the moment, I can only think of MAC Parfait Amour shadow...
