Holiday Release #2?

[egerandi]

Oh man, I'm new to Silk Naturals and just placed my second order the other day...this holiday release is making my list of next purchase decisions even harder...how do you veteran customers cope will all of the AWESOME that seems to happen here?!?!

Cope? Heheh, I would call it keeping up And when you think you have all the colors you can truly use, new ones pop up that you never thought of,
or you revisit older ones that you first dismissed based on new swatches that surfaced, and... and... You get the picture

Welcome, and have fun! If you have any questions, there is tons of swatches available, including comparison ones, and everybody is very helpful on this board

The Holiday Release #2 is GORGEOUS! I have a deadline to meet, and I should be working but no.. I'm sitting here trying not to add everything into my shopping cart. Thank you, Karen and the staff at SN!

Is Trouble similar to Pink Twink? I am trying to find a Pink Twink replacement, I had requested for a similar e/s in my last order and was sent Chills, which worked great to brighten up my eyes but wasn't close in colour to Pink Twink. I'm continuing the search lol.

I don't think it is. The description says it's a suede version of Mojave, which is totally different from Pink Twink on me.

Have you tried mixing your Chills with a pink? I don't know what all you have besides Faith but that might be a good one to experiment with?

I don't remember what all I used to make a backup of 9:59 but I just went through my stash and am ashamed to admit how many of these similar colors I own and hoard: 9:59, Pink Twink, Queen for a Day, Candid, Retro, Dreamy, Pop. I have about a dozen mad scientist blends of them in various ratios, tweaked with Plush, Whisper and Breathe because I'm afraid to run out of the originals. It's a sickness, I tell you!

@Feyith- I think you can live without Princess for a little bit. It's different than the other pinks, but it's really a one-trick pony as far as shadows are concerned. Restless is a pearl and Nova is a complicated white- there isn't a good replacement for that color, but Restless is a nice highlight. The silver trio (Spurs, Bonanza and Range) are meant to be in the same vein as things like IDK, Fuse etc. Revved-up is kind of an odd-ball color that I made after the demolition derby in Trumansburg (smoke, sparks, and flying gravel).

@Veronica- welcome!!!!! Yes, Sam is a very skilled addict- and even has a 12 step program!

@Kinjali- Dark Arts has a black base and gold highlight, where Posse is more along the lines of a golden version of Grassroots Green. Peachy Keen is completely sheer, and Truly is shimmery- Razzle Dazzle formula-wise is closest to Darling- so it's just a little bit of shimmery mica, but otherwise it's sheer.

Thank you all so much for the requests, and then the warm response. I'm "just following orders" in the best sense of the term. We really appreciate all of the posts, and kind words.

Thanks Karen! The e/s descriptions really help. I love Truly.. it adds much needed color to my face without being too bold. Are Razzle Dazzle and Peachy Keen similar in color to Truly?

How long is the UD clone going to be up? I'm moving house (I'm going to France after my wedding this Sunday) and I don't have an address to order at till Jan!

I'm working on it right now! It's a gigantic release, and I have to into the office because I forgot a notebook, but it should be later today barring any odd unforseen circumstances.

Everyone on my blog is loving your UD Palette clone!
What a great idea!

I have a question about Champagne. It is described as a Shimmering Gold, but is listed on the Shimmer scale as a 0. Is it shimmery?

Everything is so gorgeous Karen! Just made a big order and will order some more next week for presents after I test the new stuff out of course!
Can anyone tell me if the new lemon salve is for lips and hands? Or just lips I bought one but I am confused as how to use it. Thanks!

It is sheer and shimmery. I'd put it at about a 4. We will have to fix that one.....
