@Shanus @Good tip about using as a base. I'll try tomorrow!

In terms of quantities of colors available -- Laura Mercier Caviar sticks are 1st. I wait till there are sales or discounts online at Sephora & Ulta to purchase them.

Lancôme makes an eye shadow stick Ombré Hypnôse Stylo but there are mostly nudes & beiges available. When they initially came out, there was a purple & a green. Equally good, wait for sales at Lancôme if interested.

@Shanus ,  thanks so much!!   The shades you mentioned are the exact ones I'm eyeing. LM Magnetic pink look nice too...

I may stop at Ulta today to see what's available, so I can test in person.   But, they're very limited.

@JustJazzmom , I wish LM had a sale...$32 for one shadow is over priced...yet, I might cave and buy one...because I just really want it 🙄.

@Dazlin - I was just looking online at Ulta and Laura Mercier has shadow stick mini sets.  I've seen them at Ulta near the cash register where they have all their minis.  It's a set of 2 for $22 - one is a matte set and one is a shimmer set.  Might be worth looking at the shades to see if they are ones that you would like and try the mini version first.  One mini set has caught my eye for my DD for Christmas.  The shimmers don't look all that shimmery in the pics online.

I agree about Tarte eye shadow sticks. They are good quality eye shadows. I use them as a base and use Mally powder eye shadows over them.

ELF makes these for $5...they work great and do not budge all day! Someone on this forum posted about them and the price point plus quality is just amazing.

So glad I just went to Ulta...the colors I liked online were not good in person.   I looked at Bb, and LM...BB pinks, looked taupe on.  The LM had more pinks, but only 2 that looked true pink.  So I found one, and they're out of it 🙄.    So im going to look online.   There is a mini trio, but im afraid it's not going to look the same at home...idk. Anyway, one I would get so far, from LM. Think it's Kiss of a rose, or Bed of roses.  Doesn't go on dark like I see online,  but definitely more pink tones.

@JudyL , the ones I sampled just now at Ulta had some shimmer, but nothing awful.   Personally I like a little of that on the lid...but no glittery stuff.  They're definitely very creamy,...in fact difficult to take off.

I'm going to search online again. Thx!!

It's amazing how different colors look online  vs. in person.   LM had a shade magnietic pink, looked perfectly pink online...in person, goes on so pale, like a highlighter,  no color of pink detectable.  We all know too well, don't we.  Just like the Laura Geller palette, and some others.
