Hi Sabrina,
Love your blog! Although it creates a lot of temptation for me, it's still the most succinct and in depth i've found (not to mention great photos). My question for you is, if you had to start with Burberry eyeshadows or Edward Bess, which one would invest in? I'm about to do some damage based on your reviews but really want to keep it simple, in line with my new MU philosophies. Thanks a lot for your help!

Gorgeous! I think a possible dupe for EB "intimate" would be Benefit Velvet eyeshadow "fawn over me"...they look very similar to me and it's such a lovely shade!

I have all of these apart from Escape and Nude. I love them; the textures are amazing. They're worth every cent in my opinion, beautiful beautiful neutrals.

Wow. These EB shadows are stunning (especially dusk and mystery). I love that it's not overly shimmery but that price point... =X Eyeshadow is the one thing I try not to splurge on but these are too tempting...

Thanks a lot... =P

Lina: Since I discovered your blog about a month ago, I have spent quite a bit on Edward Bess and YSL. I have jet set and love it. I will need to get some more eye shadows. Although the price is steep, these shadows are much much better than MAC and even Armani for that matter, so they are worth it for anyone on the fence.

Loverly. Just loverly. I love your pictures. and ...

your blog covers so many brands that i can't catch up. but i have to come here every day just because i miss out anything. again, this is a brand i have been reading about on MUA and some other places and again, you HAVE THEM NAILED!

i wish i could play with your stash. it would be so much fun!

i think i need to move to NYC someday then i won't be so anvious anymore... *_*

Thank you for this post. I always like to hear that is it indeed worth to spend 29$ on a single e/s and that I am not alone in wanting to do just that ;)
I also got the Jet Set, but it is still on it´s way so I can´t wait for your take on it!!!
Thanks for the great work you do on this blog, it´s one of my favorites.

2009-12-09T22:53:53.742-08:00

Hi Estelle - I did get the Jet Set! More on that to come very soon!

Joey - lol :)

Sooshi - EB Eyeshadows are .07 oz/2g. My Nars Single Shadows are either .07oz/2g or .12oz/3.5g depending on what shade it is.

Resham - I agree, the price isn't something I'm in love with. They just had their $25 off $100 event. I think they have these 2-3 times per year.

Amy - My terminology just refers to the finish. Nude and Mystery have a luster finish - not full shimmer but not full matte. On the eyes you see a pretty sheen. Night is what I'd call a "satin" because it's primarily matte but not flat. It has some depth to it.

I wouldn't say Night is worth the splurge if you already have other black shadows. It's pretty dupeable. I think his other colors are better - but that's just my opinion.

Thank you for posting these lovely eyeshadows. Ca...

Thank you for posting these lovely eyeshadows. Can you describe the texture difference between "slight shimmer" and "satin"? I have a few black shadows already (Shu's ME Black, Chanel's Coromandel palette, and a few others) and I'm trying to understand how Night might be worth the splurge? I don't live near NYC. Thanks! :)

2009-12-09T16:04:16.305-08:00

I have Dusk and Intimate, but I can see that I now need Mystery and Nude. These are sooo gorgeous and such perfect textures. Thanks, Lina! Oh hey, did you get Jet Set yet? Thoughts?
