I got my palette today and actually the first thing I did was compare the first two shades next to Rain Dove and Rufous Tailed Weaver- I had the same thought you did. They shades aren't that close after all. The palette shades are lighter and considerably cooler in tone. I'm going to look at other shades, but I don't know if I have dupes in my current stash. Thanks very much for the photos! I'll try to post some tomorrow.

The blush I ordered is taking so long to arrive I may have to just ask for a refund since it's taking much longer than the promised 6-10 days

Thanks so much for these RBR swatches! I need to try the eyeshadows. I love the blushes, especially Gracilis. One of my HGs for sure. I also have my eye on the liquid highlighters.

got my starina blush and chronos palette in the mail finally. They gave me some free samples as well which was really nice.

Temptalia has started to post reviews of the shadows. Thus far, they're pretty dismal to "meh" with a couple of exceptions.

I don't agree with her ratings- just because they don't reflect my personal experience, which has been excellent- but I can understand some of her comments. (Other than the fact that she finds the shadows dry and prone to over-blending. I've never had those issues, except with Trumpeter Koel.) I do think that there are a few distinct finishes within the regular line, where some shades (Abyssinian Catbird, Angelic Cockatiels, Bohemian Waxwing) are very heavily pigmented and opaque, whereas others (Periwinkle Cardinal, Snowy Egret, Whispering Ibis) are more iridescent with a slightly sheer colour payoff and the satin shades (Solstice Halcyon, Trumpeter Koel, Umber Firefinch) are non-shimmery, a bit drier (SH not so much) and have a sort of soft, smoky quality to them, so they need to be layered to achieve full opacity. I've never had trouble getting Umber Firefinch opaque, for instance, but swept on or applied in a single layer, it's much softer.

I agree, I have 7 eyeshadows, Blackpepper Jay (Matt), Rufous-tailed Weaver, Eclipse Eagle,Delicate Hummingbird, Bohemian Waxwing, Abyssinian Catbird and Fire-Tailed sunbird and I do not have any issues with any of them. I was surprise with some of her marks.

I think it's down to her usual exacting standards where anything that isn't super pigmented out of the pan with a buttery, soft texture that is also easy to blend is a fail for her. Other reviews I've read of RBR eyeshadows are much more positive than Christine's are.

I'm thinking about ordering the loose powder since I've seen a comparison swatch next to the MUFE HD one, but I noticed it only contains 7 gr of product so it's really expensive. Does anyone have it? Is it worth it?
The new Ephemera powder sounds extremely intruiging as well.

I'm excited about the new powder as well! I don't have the loose powder yet, but it's definitely on my wish list. So many raves for this one. Wish there were greater distribution of this line in brick-and-mortar stores around here.

Yes, it would be great to be able to try the products in person.
I think I'll take the plunge and order sometime this month, I have a 20% code that is valid till August, I believe.

Even better with a promo code. Let us know how you like it!

I ended up getting both, the Ephemara powder and the loose powder, as well as the nude matte eyeshadow (and samples of the taupe pigment and the white liquid highlighter).
The loose powder is very similar to the MUFE HD, I can't really detect any differences. But I haven't used it a lot yet, so there might be a different verdict when I do.
I went with the shade Aura in the Ephemera powder, which seems to be the lightest going by the online swatches. Sadly, I have to say I'm not a fan of it. I's heavily fragranced (the scent reminds me of Jean Paul Gaultier perfume), I find it too intense for a face product. The texture is soft and very powdery and it gives more coverage than I'm used to, compared to other pressed powders. It just doesn't really work on my skin, it tends to look powdery and even cakey if I apply too much, it also feels kind of heavy and a little dry. It's just not as finely milled as I'd like.



Aura / nude e/s / pigment / highlighter

I do like the eyeshadow, despite being on the powdery side as well. It's pretty much a match for my skintone, so it's nice for evening out my lids to make some veins I have there less visible.
