Well...I think Jane got Micro-softed. i.e. the idea is to buy up all the competition and then dismantle it.
On that theory, then all the good Jane stuff is...gone for good.
On a positive note, whenever something dies, something else takes its place. I'm a firm believer in that.
I think the key...one key...is to try not buying too many duplicate shades. I went on a pink kick a while back...I had this nutty idea to find the Holy Grail of pink shadows.
It's all well and good but the difference between, say, MAC Vapour and The Body Shop Clover Pink...there is a difference. Not enough difference to warrant repurchasing both.
Likewise I have more than enough purples. I briefly considered getting MAC Trax. But...? I have TBS Damson. Again, I'm sure they are quite different but not enough for me to own both.
Do you have that UD Urb? Was it Urb? Was it you? :) Dain was nattering about UD Urb a while back. A light green shadow.
Then all you'd need to do the experiment would be the deep red or the deep plum. Plum might be more like it. The only red shadow I can even think of off the top of my head is MAC Cranberry and that is another purchase.
Would Urb and Purple Heart go together? Is Urb glittery? Way glittery? I am just curious, somehow. Wondering if there's anything to the "two contrasting shadows" idea.
I'd think the key is to use a fair amount of the green...and a little of the plum. Say putting plum as a liner, dabble in the outer corners or in the crease, just the outer crease.
