Estee Lauder x Victoria Beckham Eye Palette Review, Photos, Swatches
Ohhh T gave the palette an A- , swatches look amazing but I'm still on the fence , I like all the colours even the green but that blue is throwing me and it's not the type of versatile palette you'd use loads , all the shadows have a shimmer to them , no matte , no crease blending type colour but I'm more impressed than I was the first time I saw it :/

My EsteeLauder.com order arrived today. I wasn't expecting it at all. I'm pretty sure I checked yesterday and it still said processing. No shipping notice either. I haven't tried anything yet but I did get the lipsticks and I was quite surprised at how small the packaging was. I saw these in store. I didn't notice it at all. I did hear rumblings about the amount of product and I just thought maybe it didn't swivel up as much as regular lipsticks. No the lipstick cases look much smaller. I haven't bought an Estee Lauder lipstick in ages but I know they were/are much bigger. Don't like that. They look bigger than TF mini lipsticks but not much. I'm not one to compare grams and stuff though. I relented on the nude because it looked nice on me and I did get a compliment on my lip color from the Tom Ford MA after my makeover when I stopped by to inquire about the Tom Ford brush set. Then the orange was still available and I keep staring at the new orange dress I have out in my closet ready for wearing and thought I should get it. Anyhoo. If you are waiting for a package it just might turn up out of nowhere.
I still have just been using the same stuff though. For some reason all I wanted to wear this week was pink or purple clothes. I been doing either pink or purple with Grey Amber to tie it all in. I don't know what other color from this collection would work with pink or purple. It did get me to pull out the pink Estee Lauder single I bought several months ago (Cheeky Pink) and finally use it. I have been trying to put some color on my lower lash line. New to that so I put either a color along with the Grey Amber and loving Anastasia Moonchild in inner corner. Going to try to wear some of the other colors tomorrow so I can play more with the collection. Oh and I do like Modern Mercury though. I can see why so many people like it.
I kind of loved this collection too and have put in multiple orders. Yikes. I didn't expect that.

I got the shipping notice, but I didn't realize they were overnighting it essentially, so I was surprised to get my shadows today. That was a good way to make up for the processing delay. My highlighter arrived from BG today as well. I need to swatch it in comparison to the previous modern mercury release. I still have two of those. So obviously I needed this new release as well.

Just got a peek at the IG swatches. Looks like I will be skipping the palette as well, Temptalia's swatches were so rich and saturated. That's what I was basing my choices on.The palette looks like an easy skip. I got Bitter Clove and Charred Emerald, but now I'm wondering why. Like I don't have enough jewel-toned greens and metallic browns?!?

Which is shocking to me b/c T usually makes great shadows swatch like garbage!

THIS.
It's .03 smaller than BITE which looks like a behemoth in comparison. The lipstick damn near looks like a sample. BUT I love the color (Brazilian Nude). It's more brown than it swatches on my arm (it pulls pink on my arm). It's gorgeous. But I'm glad I only got one because for $45 I want a standard size lipstick.

I completely slept on this one. It does look beautiful though.

Well, I saw some pics on IG after ordering that made me think Brazilian Nude would be pink on me.
Turns out, it showed up as the sort of tawny nude shade that got me into buying nude lipstick in the first place, after seeing a pic of Beyonce in a similar shade (who knows if she had one product or a mix of liner, etc on).
I started with Freckletone (huge disappointment), then Cherish, a Lancome lipstick, a Rimmel nude shade, Tilbury Hepburn Honey, etc with no luck and then this lol
Sorry for the rant lol
It was just unexpected

Just a heads up in case anyone wasn't aware, the Pure Color Envy Matte lipsticks r everythinggggg! And they should be at $32 a pop lol... I bought 410 Shameless Violet, a gorgeous cool purple shade, 430 Extrovert, a deep eggplant purple and lastly 130 Desirous, a rich red-tinged brown! These r superrr creamy people!!! While these are more like satins to me, the slight sheen does wear down after some time to become more of a standard matte or demi-matte. Anyone else love these?

YAYYYYYY! I picked up Modern Mercury! Hasn't arrived yet, but I'm psyched
Awesome. Highlighters are so addictive! Btw, did you hear Smashbox now have 120 lippies with matte and cream finishes?! I ordered 10.

I just got my notice that my order shipped! I was super worried, because I had previously gotten an email that my order (eyeshadow palette and modern mercury) was on backorder. But it should be here tomorrow! I'm pretty excited because all the reviews I've seen so far are positive. Can't wait to play with it!

They both swatch just fine. I've only worn Bitter Clove so far and it applied without issue. I have hooded eyes, wore a primer, and had no creasing issues. Bitter Clove is similar in texture to MUFE diamond shadows but does have more glitter/sparkle. It looks fairly close to the Dior mono shadows that came out this fall. It's a pretty shadow and if you don't own anything similar and want a $45 eyeshadow, then I say go for it. If you already own all the makeup in the world as many of us do, ehhhhh, $45 for one eyeshadow...eehhh?
Top Row (L to R): EL Bitter Clove, Dior Monos in Fever, Fire and Reflection
Bottom Row (L to R): 2 Anastasia Titanium shadows, 1 Makeup Geek Foiled, and 2 of the new Tarte metal shadows
