next on my list!
Was Sephora supposed to get it? Never heard that. They did say it was extremely limited quantities so not exactly surprised. Sucks but at least they were upfront saying that it was limited quantity9?? Why even bother? I would think the workers would buy them all up. I guess I won't get a call from them. What happened with Sephora getting it?
I'm hoping it comes quickly to me too. They said 7-10 business days. I know my pro presale shadows arrived really quick but they were shipped from the NJ boutique.I just received my 30 pan palette. It's gorgeous. The packaging is solid and the inside is trimmed in leather. I'm surprised at how quickly the palette arrived. They made it sound like I would have to wait 5 business days unless I paid for expedited shipping!!
I wish they sold each piece separately. I want the neutrals but I don't need the colors lol.swatches when you guys have time! I'm starting to consider getting it :-/
On Temptalia, Christine reported that it would be available for Rouge members in August and available for general purchase in September. The August date did not pan out. I just read on another site that it will be available online and in stores on September 2nd. That does go against the limited quantities idea. I just don't know why we have to wait until after the holiday weekend. I'm going to be so busy that day. I probably won't get one.Was Sephora supposed to get it? Never heard that.

They won't call you until they get to your name on the list if they still have one available. NY already had their palettes in stock for sale. I'm not sure if the other stores are waiting until the official release date to start calling people. I think it's supposed to be released to everyone on the 4th (might be wrong about that). I know NJ boutique isn't calling anyone yet (found out when I called to see of they were already selling them and was told they they haven't received them yet but will only get 9. They just have the display one available for people to look at).I haven't heard anything from the store I put myself on the waiting list. I think I will give them a call.
The event at the NYC Boutique was a pro networking event and those that attended were able to purchase it along with receiving some free gifts to celebrate the 30 yr anniversary. Most of the artist that contributed to the palette were at the event. So unless the beauty bloggers are also backstage cardholders they wouldn't have been there.On Temptalia, Christine reported that it would be available for Rouge members in August and available for general purchase in September.

Did people buy this at the party this week? I guess no beauty bloggers went to the event.
That Petrol Blue (S228) is beautiful. All of the colors you choose are lovely.I couldn't resist buying a few more... I wanted to add the swatches because none of these are colors that are available in store (at least, not in mine). My skin tone is around NW10 for reference.
From L to R: D552 (Crystalline Gray Beige), I212 (Periwinkle), S228 (Petrol Blue)
These swatches were taken in outdoor lighting and are showing up very true to life. I am OBSESSED with the periwinkle color. You can't tell from this pic, but it does have subtle iridescence to it.

Something people could do if they aren't interested in one of the palettes is sell it. If you bought just those 20 colors at full retail (not counting the sale prices for 2 or 3 colors at a time) it would still come out to way more than the palette sells for ($420 for 20 @$21/each). I'm sure there are a lot of people that would love to buy just the neutral tray :shrugs: I know a few people that plan to get it as a group (3 people) and split the colors. Also a great idea if you want some but not ALL of the palette.I've been seeing the Artist palette show up under the MUFE brand on Sephora's website since yesterday but I actually have to be logged in to my BI account to see it in the list of products available. Right now it says available for VIB Rouge only. Just thought I'd mention it in case guess anyone was out of luck at the stores but is VIB Rouge or has a loving VIB Rouge friend who would order online for them lol. I really wish they would sell the 3 palette sheets separately. I'm bleh about the neutral one but the other two have me all in my feels (especially that bright one!! :cheer: )
That's true! Even with a 2:1 split, I would be saving big time as you pointed out ($165 vs $420). I'll definitely have to see what my circle of makeup crazies are into at the moment and see if we could strike a deal haha.
