The vice palette's design is meh...the bag cover is ugly... The Chanel highlighter for some reason is the one equating to Agatha Christie for me. lol Have you tried Tom Ford's eyeshadows?
Yeah, it's not everyone's cup of tea. aah gotcha. No, I haven't. I've heard they're quite lovely. I'm going to england in december, and charlotte tilbury's quads have been compared to tom ford's a lot, so I think I'm gonna get at least one of her quads.

The Vintage Vamp one looks amazing... if you like reds. I think I might get one in the near future. Btw, I got the Dior Trafalgar palette and even though the colors are great I have to use it with a damp brush otherwise it's a bit dry and doesn't yield enough intensity/pigment.

Yeah, that's the one I have my eyes on. The le holiday one looks great too, so that's also an option if it's still in stock. That's disappointing. If you like pastels, I swatched dior's tutu palette, and it's nice and buttery. Dior palettes are very inconsistent from the swatches I did.

Will counters be getting this? Especially the 15 pan palette. Sorry if this had already been answered!
they should be, yes!


that VP looks so pretty in the pan but on the eye they all look the same :( plus t's average rating of VP's aren't good so that's an easy pass for me.

I don't have none of the shades in the 15x eyeshadow palette. Is it worth getting?

Agreed. Yeah, and like it's neutrals with just enough pops of colour to be interesting. It seems more practical than than the vice 3 palette I was previously contemplating, but then I saw temptalia's swatches, and was like I'm only in love with two of the shades, and a lot of them look powdery. Yeah very true, I just feel it's something I wouldn't use. And I wouldn't necessarily wanted a super pigmented black shade, as it would be hard for me to incorporate into a look. Also, like chanel only puts them out in le collections, so it's very get it well you can. I feel like it's super unique. I'm actually not that impressed by the design on it, like I thought some of the other chanel highlighters had prettier designs.
This is why I've came back to this thread... yes the Vice 3 has more shades, but they are smaller and I'll get less use out of them vs. a palette of neutrals.

Pastels aren't for me, but I'm glad that it's a decent palette. I don't plan to buy any Dior quints anytime soon. Trafalgar was the only unique one and I love red eyeshadows, otherwise all the other palettes they have can be easily duped. Their eyeshadow formula on average is mediocre at best.

One of the Canadian magazine had the palette priced at $132. I wonder if they lowered the price last minute?

They did, someone mentioned this a while back... Apparently Brooke herself wanted a price change so the collection could be affordable to more people :)

I'm thinking maybe 3-4 items for me.

Alright, I take it back! I want the lipsticks, glosses, CCB, bronzer, and now the eyeshadow palette too.

Edit: I just checked my stash, and I have 4 out of the 15 colors in the palette, so I don't know, but I might just skip the palette.

I'm always glad when they don't have anything of interest, believe me. I only pop in about once or twice a month though around the beginning and middle to see if they have anything good. Sometimes you get lucky and other times you can't find jack.

I have a CCO 5-10 minutes from where I currently live, but the last time I went in there, I didn't see anything I really wanted.

I'm not sure about the ccb ..probably will skip that
it's really pretty! i've never used a ccb before, seeing as i don't do blush and i don't like using lip brushes for my lipstick. can you use ccb's on the eyes? i saw some pretty neutral ones from the perm/pro line but i wasn't sure if they could be used there. or would they crease from being too creamy?

Some can be used on the eyes. It depends on the shade. If you don't set them with a shadow, they will definitely crease. On me, they crease anyway because I have oily lids. I know some people who can wear them without the creasing as long as they set it with some kind of powder.

I never use the Ccbs on my eyes but they were my go-to highlighter on the high planes of my face when I go out during the looooong freaking dry winter months up in AK. They were amazing on me.
