It is, it is- but it's fun too! Sooo I checked them out in more detail today, and they don't look like they're going to be too difficult to dupe. I could be wrong, but for some reason shimmers are just a lot easier for me to dupe- the worst one I did was Dandelion- that took me a week of afternoons to get it dialed-in just right, and it's one of the most simple colors on the site.

Moon Rock surprised me. It's very light and I love it! Soooo pretty. I want a lippie, and a set of shadows to go with it (although it may be best with a smokey eye). Grand Duo and Love Rock should be pretty easy as well. I'm beat for the moment, but I'll have more news later.

Ah, that would be wonderful! I'm still sometimes confused as to what eye shadow goes well with what blush and lip gloss. I'm getting ideas from the forum all the time, but what would be the ultimate help is to have some sort of reference list on the website. I like how the blushes are categorized as warm, neutral, cool. Would it be possible to mark the shadows and the lippies with w/n/c? I know it's probably not as straightforward, but would be helpful, I think.

Fun indeed! I wasn't able to stop myself and ended up adding Eart to Earth, Light Over Dark and Grand Duo to my collection. The only one I don't have is Hot Planet! Your clone of Dandelion is wonderful, it's one of my faves! And I can't wait to see what lippies you come up w/to go w/Moon River!

Egerandi that's a wonderful idea! I had the lippies categorized by pigment level, but you're right- warm, neutral, cool would be much better. It's not quite as straight-forward with lippies and shadows because the colors are more complicated, but I'll give it a shot this weekend. The web has been off and on all day- it's making me bonkers because I'm at a computer all the time- especially when I'm making things.

Ruby let me know how you like the others when you get them! Between you and me I think we have the entire collection of them..hehe. As Mikie once said "A ho's gotta do what a ho's gotta do".

I got the 3 last night and I'm wearing Light over Dark today. I love how sheer these are w/one light sweep of your duo fiber brush. The L over D gives me a healthy glow w/out looking OTT and/or fake. I've still got a hint of tan and I'm trying to maintain it till I head out for more sun next month! I do find myself taking pressed powders w/me when I travel. If you ever did pressed powders I'd be all over them! And I quite like Mikie's quote-gave me a good laugh today! Hope you're enjoying this gorgeous Spring day here in our neck of the woods :)
