Usually when it says "exclusive" it just means that they will be the only retailers that will have it - for a while. Eventually it'll be everywhere. That's just my take on it. And sometimes when I've seen places use the word exclusive, I've seen the same product somewhere else. I don't know if that means counters won't have it though.

Swatches of the three new shades of Lip Maestro that are launching next month: http://ommorphiabeautybar.com/2014/08/20/giorgio-armani-beauty-lip-maestro-intense-velvet-color-404-spice-405-sultan-406-orient/ I think I want them all. Help me. Also a review of the new mascara. http://ommorphiabeautybar.com/2014/08/19/giorgio-armani-beauty-black-ecstasy-mascara-obsidian-black/ EDIT: And here's a listing of the complete collection. It's in German, but it's clear enough what's coming out. The lip shades will be available in both the Lip Maestro and Rouge Ecstasy formula.

On the new palette of silver/gold the design imprint, it wears off pretty fast. I also found taking a brush and swirling down the center gives a really cool combo of both colors on the lid of your eye. I soften it with the new ETK single #25 sandstone. I got the 624 and 525 sheer lipsticks. Love the 624, the 524 is also nice. Reminds me of a softer version of a Chanel gloss that came out about fall 2012, I think that was it came out. Nothing to blow your mind over, but nice. Love the swatches of the new red glosses. You can never go wrong with red!!!!

Love the Maestro foundation, the bottle is a mess. I wipe the rim of it before I put the applicator back in the bottle. A little goes a long way. A couple of drops is more then enough. If you have dry patches on your face, this foundation just shines a spot light on them. Also do not take this on a plane. Had a bottle explode and it was a mess. I am waiting for the new TF to actually come to store near me. Since his color range is limited. Not sure what shade his alabaster would exchange out for in his new line.

Has anyone tried the Brow Maestros? The shades I'm considering look kinda shimmery on beauty professor so I'm scared of them.....

I'm waiting for a few more reviews on the new TF foundation. I have to order. TF isn't sold anywhere near me. I read #13 Buff is the lightest shade, which would be what I need. Beauty professor.net says Buff is the approximate match to Traceless foundation stick in Alabaster. http://www.beautyprofessor.net/2014/07/tom-ford-traceless-perfecting.html I hope that link works. She has a lot of info about this foundation. My iPad is not playing nice this evening. Well I guess more like morning. I just haven't made it to bed yet. Let us know what you think when you get to check it out in person.

I picked up the Organica duo/palette today. I can't believe how large this thing is. I thought it was much smaller. I guess that was the justification for the price. Like someone posted earlier, the shade of the two colors swirled together is nice. The gray has a purple undertone to it that it nice. I think the #3 liner would pair nicely with this color. The colors on their own are nice but not earth shattering yet I think I will get a lot of use out of this palette. I think either of these colors could be worked into almost any look.
I also picked up the #4 liquid liner. I think I really need #3 now. I did get a gift card today so I may go back for that this week. I also picked up #114 lipstick. This is my first Armani lipstick. I threw it in at the last minute and didn't even try it on. It is basically a nude on me. I still have to wait to reserve judgement on it because I just put it on and I had # 624 on before it and it left quite a stain so I'm not sure on the color. The MA tried #624 on me and it was quite dramatic. Maybe too dramatic on me. I liked it but wondered if I would actually wear it so I left it for the time being. I kind of liked #524 the lavender pink shade. I wish I had tried it on now. Maybe when I go back. I also swatched some of the eye and brow shades. I really liked the terracotta color and the gold. Did we ever find out which ones were limited? I may at some point pick up the dual end brush. I have a similar one from Anastasia and I don't like it at all. The spooly brush is so rough against my skin. I have a broken tweezerman spooly brush that is much softer but I liked the dual aspect of the brush. The armani one felt softer but I didn't try it on my face.
So still to buy/possibilities:
-#524 lipstick
-terracotta eye and brow
-gold eye and brow
-all the other liquid liners

The new Chanel liner I think it is 906, matches the silver/mauve of the palette perfectly. For those who do not like liquid liner this is a great alternative. I have the 524 and the 624. Neiman Marcus just got in the new lipsticks in Sultan, Orient and Spice. They were unpacking them when I was there. I am waiting for the glosses in these colors. If you use the Tom Ford vinyls over the 524 and 624, it looks good. I saw the brow stuff. I ordered it since they were out of the color for ash blonde hair. I did pickup the new YSL Ink Fusion foundation. Oh my, it is incredible!!!! Not nearly as messy as the Maestro foundation, but has the same feel to it. I actually like it better then the Maestro. Those little droppers are such a pain....

I'm interested in the eye and brow maestro. It sounds innovative and I can use it easily to contour my eyes, draw my brows etc and it is small and handy. I hope I can still get Armani beauty in my country. The store that houses the counter is changing hands so I don't know what will happen the all the brands there.

I tried on #624 and I agree, it was surprisingly deep for the sheer formula. I don't mind deep, but it just wasn't what I'd come to expect, even from the darker colours. I have Sheer #602 and while it's dark, it lives up to its sheer billing. I want to swatch 624 next to Rouge Ecstasy Attitude, because I have a feeling they're quite similar.

Has anyone tried the cheek fabric in #509? Hard to find swatches and even harder to find a place that has it near me
