LOL! Okay, let me rephrase; which ones should I get *first* - or they will all have to wait until Christmas because I can't pick just one or two. :lol:

Depends on what you need right now ;)

So your list:

- Aubergine
- Bewitched
- Breathe
- Pop
- Jean Queen

- Aubergine is dark, so it would work nicely as a liner, or crease darkener. You can actually play with its intensity, so don't be scared :D
- Bewitched - I don't own this one (what's wrong with me!), but something similar. Awesome crease color, but maybe not allover lid color.
- Breathe is a must - it's the most beautiful morphing light purple.
- Pop - what Laurie said :)
-Jean Queen - it morphs into blueish color and it goes nicely with Breathe.

My suggestion would be Breathe and one of the others, depending on the intensity and the color type you would like to achieve. How about Vineyard? Sorry, I don't mean to add to the confusion, but it's one of the most versatile purples out there, and goes great with Breathe. If not that, I would choose Aubergine or Jean Queen based on my experience.

These are all quite different, and as Egerandi says it depends what you want them for. But they are different enough to NEED them all (sorry, I know this doesn't help you).

Aubergine would make a fab liner as it is very dark
Bewitched is VERY similar to Velvet (but it isn't in your cart anyway, so not a problem but you don't need both of these just in case)
Breathe, Pop & Jean Queen all have that lovely 'morphing' (or duochrome) thing going on but the top & base colours are all quite different.

Not going to help trim down your shopping list but at least you will be better informed with your purchases!!!! :lol:

I'm so glad after my splurge order that I put in a little order with Intergalactic in it - that was mainly the reason I did it, too. I got the new golds and silvers and Sonic, but needed Intergalactic, too.

Besides, it's fun when you're waiting on packages of goodies :)

You definitely *need* Aubergine. It is a stunning liner.
If you like purples, I would go for this one and Vineyard... and Breathe, it is such a pretty light purple.
