Swatch request - my last stupid order question, I promise!

Post by feyith » Tue Mar 16, 2010 2:14 pm

Hi lovely ladies!

I was wondering if anybody had Adventure, Purr, Cashmere and Plush or could tell me the relative colors and depths with regard to each other?

Adventure seems similar to Plush, and Purr seems similar to Cashmere. I have a sample of Cashmere and just ordered Plush. Thanks for helping me decide on that one! I can't wait to get it! :D

Also, do I really NEED Poly, Twister AND Fairy Dust? I've had a sample of Lunar and was in love with it. Halp! :lol:

First....Fairy Dust is a very light color with a green interference. I use this one as a highlighter. Twister is a mid tone kind of in the same color family...it is one-color-wash depth, Ploy is a bright teal and dark enough for a liner. They cannot be used interchangeably if that is the information you are seeking.

The others in order of lightest to darkest: Purr, Cashmere, Adventure, Plush

I suppose Adventure and Plush are kind of close, but Plush is deeper and slightly more purple. Purr and Cashmere are not really that close. Purr is a peachy color and Cashmere is a muted pink. Purr is warmer, and Cashmere is cooler toned and slightly darker.

Thanks, Jen. :)

I think I'll hold off on Adventure and Purr for now, as I want to see what Plush looks like first and Cashmere is about as light as I like to go. Sounds like I am going to need all three greens though.

I find Adventure and Plush to be very different!!
they have different textures (Plush is shimmery/sparkly, where as adventure is more pearly/shimmer). I find Adventure to be much more warm than Plush is. I have to be careful with it otherwise I look like I have conjunctivitis. And Plush has the copper toned shimmer in it, whereas Adventure doest have that shimmer at all.
I really like both but I have been reaching for Adventure a lot more often.

Everyone needs Poly imo. I wouldn't get Twister and Lunar though, Fairy Dust is totally different than all of those. It reminds me more of Shamrock/Shimmy
