Pat McGrath Beauty

[Sugar & Spice]

I ordered tropicalia, lavish and donatella. I also ordered the sublime eyeshadow palette.

I want more of the lipsticks, but I decided to start with these three. Tried to order one bright, one nude, and one darker everyday color based on swatches that I have seen.

I think you chose well, I love tropicalia.

My pyscho candy & beautiful creature came today and PC is a dead on dupe for CL Bengali which is awesome because that was the 1 CL lipstick I was going to repurchase if I didn't find a dupe I was satisfied with.

BC was a total surprise love! I didn't know what to expect and thought I had messed up when I saw it but when I applied it, I fell in love. It's a shade I've been searching forever for but could never quite find. A shade thats muted but not boring, has a little pop without being attention grabbing. Like it's the perfect color on me that's just special in it's own unique way.


I've always wanted to find that color that's a happy medium and I've finally found it and with all the excitement over BC what did I do? Go back to her site and order another lol but I can justify it because my friend tried on 35MM and loved it so much that she wouldn't give it back lol. So I told her she could have it and I ordered Anarkissed as I decided I wanted a little more vampy than 35MM anyway.

I have been debating forever between BC and SNS. IMO they look too similar to get both. BC sounds great in your description!

I had that same issue too and yes they are too similar to get both and I think based on the shades you chose that you should get SNS. BC is very rose and I think the plum in SNS will suit you better.

Things are shipping as I got my shipping notice for Anarkissed lipstick.

Well in true Sephora fashion they screwed up my order and sent me the wrong eyeshadow palette. I ordered the sublime palette, but I received the subliminal palette. Called to complain and got 250 meaningless points.

I reordered the sublime palette and am currently deciding whether to keep the other palette. I will play with it a few days before I decide. Can’t make it to Sephora until the weekend anyway. My new sublime order still has not shipped, so I may have to call again.

The lipsticks are great though!

Yeah that's why I didn't wait for Sephora because you really never know with them and I would have been pissed had they screwed up my order, I don't play when it comes to my lipsticks lol.

Yay you love them so now you need to get SNS lol.

Same thing happened to me with the palette. They should just let us keep the stupid thing. It's not like they can sell it now.

Also, my lipstick wouldn't turn up. I gave it a good whack and now it works, but overall, I'm thoroughly unimpressed with Sephora AND Pat McGrath right now.

My replacement palette is “out for delivery” right now. I hope that they actually shipped the right one. Fingers crossed!

I agree about keeping the palette. I plan to return the mistake palette tomorrow. It is a shame that it will be thrown out, but I just can’t justify two of these palettes right now.

Plus I hadn’t planned on buying the subliminal palette.

I would have kept it if it was the Subversive palette and then re-ordered the Sublime. I told the CS rep that this has happened to other people and she was aware of it and said the issue was resolved, so we shall see. Fingers crossed you get the right one!

Hey, first time peeping in here I just ordered the Ultra Glide eye pencil in Blk Coffee. Anybody have the eye pencils?

On hold with Sephora CS right now. Received wrong palette again! Let’s just say that I am no longer being polite about this.

Pathetic! Sorry dear. I hate it when that crap happens!

I think that I scared this CS rep by using my boss lady voice. Refunded both palette orders, let me keep both and will send right one for free when available. Now I have two free subliminal palettes.

Apparently they do not have sublime in stock and that is why they keep shipping out subliminal.

I'll need a transcript of the call for when my next Subliminal palette shows up so I know what to say, lol! So annoying.

Forgot to add that CS said that they are now aware of this situation. Not my personal situation lol but that customers received the wrong palette.

Apparently they will be contacting all affected customers to “ offer a solution.”

Here's 200 worthless points! Ugh

Exactly!

I am waiting now to see if they actually refund my $250 since they charged me for both orders. The second CS rep I spoke to last night said that the first rep should have refunded me right away. This is part of the reason why I can keep both palettes. I am debating now whether to order sublime directly from Pat McGrath. I have little faith that I will get the correct order from Sephora.

I haven’t tried her eye pencils, but they are definitely on my radar. I am out of town again next week, so any future orders will have to wait until I get back.

I ordered the sublime palette, but I received the subliminal palette.

Wow, the first YouTube review I watched, the girl ordered Sublime and got Subliminal instead

Someone I follow on IG said they sent her the wrong palette and she got them to let her keep it and send her the right one.

I got my palettes on Friday from PatMcgrath.com. I'm quite impressed so far. The outer packaging is super gorgeous. Decorative on the outside and inside. I don't usually keep boxes but I must keep this one. Beveled mirror and very substantial palette. People can't complain about cheap packaging this time around. I wore the cooler toned one today. I can't recall which one it is just now. I used the light brown taupey color as transition but I felt I needed my peachy transition so I'm went with Mac Soft Brown. It is just my go to color. I was wearing blue so I thought I should go with that but I was scared of it. I applied the bluey purple from one of the other palettes. I used the Wayne Goss flat shadow brush from the new collection and did not care for how it went on. I think WG needs a stiffer shadow brush in the collection. Anyway, I switched to a Mac 283 and it went on much better but seemed more purple than blue so I decided to put a little of the blue on with the 283. I wanted blue but not too strong of a look. The brush deposited just the right amount of color. I liked the color so much I ended up putting it on my whole lid. Added taupey grayish color in the crease and outer v. Mixed it with black to get a darker outer v shade but not black. Added lightest color for brow highlight and one of the shimmery shades in the crease. I used one of the lipsticks from one her kits. The flesh one that was kind of cool toned and the highlighter stick and the pink highlighter. I liked the look very much. I'm looking forward to playing around with these more.
