Tom Ford Private Eyeshadow Singles are up on Blue Mercury

Oh boy, Blue Mercury has ALL the new eyeshadow singles up and available for purchase (except for about a dozen shades which are currently sold out, it appears). I'm wondering whether they've jumped the gun on this one because we were pretty certain they were going to drop Black Friday, right? Anyway, good news is Blue Mercury is selling them for $36 each so I assume that'll be the retail price everywhere. Lol, attaching a screenshot just in case they disappear. Also including pics of the currently sold out shades.

ETA: I can't believe that I forgot to include price - $36 per shadow!

Order of thumbnails: Silver Screen, Black Onyx, Videotape, Warm Leatherette, Tempête Blue, Infrared, Burnt Suede and Fire Sign.

Looks like the Paillette finish is a popular one. Anyway, they have pictures of all the others up, who knows how accurate they are but I'm already compiling my list!! Lol. *must wait for swatches, must wait for swatches...*

I don't understand Blue Mercury. All the single shadows are not on the site anymore. I thought they were there a week ago.

 

[Monsy]

they are THE WORST
horrible website and awful "customer service"

The single shadows have VERY little product for the cost. I was reading the TF thread on Sephora Beauty Talk and they were discussing it and doing the math. It seemed a bit crazy.

Not at all surprised.

How very little? I'm waiting for them But if they're a way little, I need some time to think of buying them.

.04 oz/ 1.2 g is what the picture shows

I bought The Perfect Kiss lipstick during the Sephora sale and it just arrived.

I am in heaven! What a gorgeous bright strawberry red. It really IS perfect. So thankful I took the plunge!

Little enough to make you feel like a fool, and so awkward to pry open, that I packed them up to return without even looking at them!

I got that one too and love it.

So I couldn't contain my curiosity and pulled out my package again before going to the post office. They're actually very easy to open once you realize how to do it - just pull the little gold part forward. However...they are still just ridiculously small, the size of my thumb nail, and I have very short nails. They're sort of the eyeshadow equivalent of Lips & Boys.

Why do you want to return them? Because the quality is poor?

They're just not worth the price to me personally. I was expecting them to be small but when I saw them I was still taken back.

They're just not worth the price to me personally based on the size. I was expecting them to be small but when I saw them I was still taken back.

Wow, how small are they? I can't imagine them. I want 14 out of 30, but I should reconsider getting them.

Unless you can see them in person I would start with one and see what you think. Someone on Sephora Beautytalk who calculated said you'd have to buy 8.3 singles to get the amount of product you get in one of his quads.

WOW. That is small. He does describe them as clutch-sized, which is the same for the lips and boys/girls, but at least with those, the price/ounce is better than full-sized lipsticks. Has anyone done the math on these?

None of the swatches scream must-have to me at this point. Maybe I’ll grab 1 or 2 if that changes.

If her math is correct, that's a crazy difference. I guess it's a nice option if you are dying for one of the single colors. Here in Canada they are 45$ each which is quite a bit for a thumbnail amount of product.
