It will be down to your personal taste, but for me the Amethyst Eyelashes are too over the top (but I don't use any other eyelashes than the Dark Emphasis Eyelash and the Bronze Color Eyeshadow which have a more realistic look).

The Ancestor Moth Swarm is definitely far superior to any of the Moth and Butterfly options, because it's a whole kaleidoscope of butterflies (5 ancestor moths) which is far more visible than the single butterfly versions, and their movement as a group is more interesting too. The pet also has the bonus of being usable as House decoration.

If you haven’t many Gems and don’t often buy crates, then I would wait until you see something that is an insta buy for you.

I do really like the Ancestor Moth Swarm for housing as they are a perfect addition to a magical garden or woodland glade! I bought them for Gems myself. Now as a pet to follow you around, I do like the Dusklight Lunar Moth but I found the Ancestor Moth Swarm to be too much. It might have been all the movement or the combination with their also glowing, but that might just be what distracts or bothers me visually, while you might like them very much if you found the single butterfly underwhelming.

I have not bought the Amethyst Eyelashes nor similar from other crate seasons as they are a bit mich for my taste. I do use the Dark Emphasis Eyelashes from the Barbaric Beauty pack on several characters and like them except for the fact that they don’t seem to work on male characters at least not the one I tried it on (the eyelashes were somehow in the middle of his eyes instead of aligned with his eyelids). You may want to check what Appearance category the Amethyst Eyelashes are in, determining whether you could combine them with other makeup, etc. The Dark Emphasis Eyelashes are in Facial Hair, which is both logical and quite convenient for female characters!

I hope that helps some!

@Araneae6537 Amethyst Eyelashes are in "Facial Hair" category.

I don’t know if you’ve also tried to use and had problems with the Dark Emphasis Eyelashes on male characters — or perhaps those are far too understated for your taste!

It's interesting that you mention exactly these eyelashes, cause the only character I use them on is my male model I bought them just for him.

As for waiting until the crates make another comeback, unless I am mistaken, this is their first reappearance in three years, since they were released! Now we may hope ZOS brings back crates and other items more frequently, but there are also more and more seasons, so who knows how often that will be for any particular season.

Last time they returned in October 2018, definitely one of the rarest seasons.

Thank you for the info! The difficulty that I encounted must have been character specific then — perhaps having to do with the size, height or angle of the character’s eyes. It was a male woodelf with large eyes and I have since recreated the character (to adjust some other characteristics and change his name) so it might be worth trying them again.
