OK, I can get into this 80's industrial chic style packaging - it IS my era, so I can deal with it.
Meanwhile….that coral gloss!!! It's like a tiny bit pinker version of one of my all-time favorite glosses that I DID NOT have a BU of and am almost out of: Geo Pink csg. That color is so incredibly sexy, and this one will be even better because of the extra pink in it. I guess this reconfirms my dedication to not BU any more. When you're almost out of something and are starting to severely ration, BOOM, something close but even better is there!
I don't really need another straight red lipstick, but I really love how it looks with the flat grey techie packaging. First time packaging is making the product look better than it is, rather than just sitting there or even being distracting. Even the cream blush duo is tempting. I'm going to have to restrain myself a bit with this collection….

I'm honestly digging the packaging, but then I really like the Proenza Schoulerr packaging, too. I'm just that kind of weirdo.
Gray and orange packaging? Bring it on!

I really like square lipstick and gloss packaging in general. The gray & orange did sound nice at first, but somehow it looks worse than I expected. I don't think this collection will fly off the shelves.

that's how I feel about it too. I don't mind the shape or even the colour combo, but something about how this came out is really unappealing.I love the Proenza packaging too

Agree. The color/shape isn't that different from Burberry. I adore Burberry packaging, even though I was never a fan of that plaid before the line launched. But for Burberry,it's mostly how it feels when you use it--it's well designed, balanced, slightly heavy and uses magnetic closures. The mirrors are slightly smoked gray. It is really good.
When we first started getting promo pictures of Proenza, I hated the packaging too. But once I saw it in real life (and people started posting real-life pictures/not just promo shots), I didn't mind it either. Somehow I'm not sure the same thing's going to happen here.
I'm still holding out a little hope, but I'm not getting that same vibe from Brooke. It sure isn't going to pull me into trying out those Pearlfusions. I'm hoping they just made a shine-gray large palette and didn't mess with the perm design of the large palette too much. Since that large palette was the only must on my list, I'll probably still get it.

The packaging looks like a mix of the 80's and the current Burberry packaging. Although I don't mind square packaging and the grey color--I liked the Proenza Schouler packaging a lot-- that orange square is bothering me to no end. D: Not much of a fan of this collection
, but my mom would be all over this.

The gray and orange combo is reminding me of my husband's old apartment he was living in when we first started dating, and where we got engaged, so it's kind of making me feel warm and fuzzy. Haha. I think it will look nicer in real life. For the most part, I just care about what's inside the packaging, though.

Agreed. It just doesn't look as nice as the description. However for me this is a huge skip. Nothing is calling my name.
