Am I the only pale, cool-toned person this is absolutely PERFECT on? I've been using it as a one-colour wash and I absolutely love it!
Would love to see it in the permanent collection.

Hmm, Not sure if I am cool toned or not (useing warm gold and olive mix) but this doenst look fantastic on me. For one thing it is much too light. I have been using it as a wash on my lid only, if I go above my crease then it turns the skin to red/pink and I look like I am having an allergy reaction.
the colour itself is really nice, and as a wash it is great. I have been using it under my other plum colours like Vineyard, 9:59, even Idolize, and it looks nice for the inside of my eye. and really combines will with these colours!
I would prefer the 9:59 to be added!! I am loving this colour!!!

You're more olive, I think, la_canadiense, and way darker than me. I put a couple of scoops of ebony in with a teaspoon of ivory for foundation - and Spangle is one of the few 'light' eye colours that's actually light enough for me to use as a wash. I can see how it might not work if you're warm-toned. I have a similar problem with Nekkid, which most people can wear, but it makes me look like I'm coming down with an eye infection - not attractive!

ya, i have that same thing with too warm of colours. I can wear Purr but again, only up to the crease, if I go over the crease the eyebrow bone goes red and makes me looks like I've been crying!! I was initially really worried to try it (got it as my freebie with my over $30, but they picked it for me....), but thankfully I can pull it off as a wash on the lid only...I need a really neutral or even cool colour for the brow bone (even BE's Nude Beach would turn my brow bone a funny reddish colour).
But I agree that Spangle is a really nice colour, it is really bright and I can see it would open the eye up as a wash. So I agree that it would be a really nice addition to the permanent collection!
and also 9:59....

Swatches please!
I am pretty pale, so I can't wear anything except white or very light cream as a highlight, otherwise it is darker than my actual skin, lol. I also can't wear anything too pink on the inner corner of my eye, or I look like I have pinkeye
The thing I hate about the gifts with purchase is that by the time you hear the buzz it's too late

I think 9.59 would have been awesome for me, but it is gone now
Totally hoping that Karen goes ahead with the gwp club, where you get them all!

I agree lilychemgirl. It's hard for us internationals to order regularly to get the GWP, and by the time we hear about them and how great they are, it's too late

Can't wait for the GWP club - is it coming anytime soon Karen?
