So have some of the ETK already sold out on Nordstrom's site, or did they not have all of them in stock?

ETA: This is really strange. They are not all showing up on the Armani page, but I can edit my cart and get the colors that I want. Weird. Now which ones should I choose? I really want all of them, but that would be too much $$. Plus I want both palettes and 610. Must not spend that much $$.

Now I'm lemming 410, 610 AND 611. Shame on you ladies!
girlhaha.gif
LOL! Same here!
Me and SA thought 611 is the shade they used in promo photo, but in Twitter Armani artists answered someone asking and they said it is 410!

If you can wear red lip, you definitely shouldn't miss that one. Oh and seeing how you pull off many different lippie shades (from your blog), you definitely need those! ;-))

LOL! I ended up ordering all of the ETK. If I didn't, then I know that I would end up stalking ebay in a couple of weeks looking for them after they had sold out. Now I need to resist getting both palettes.

What is up with all of the great fall collections this year? First Chanel with the blushes, then Dior, then Guerlain's lippies, etc... It needs to stop!

Me too! Please assign me to the team too, I just can't resist purple! Everyone on the counters are making fun of my purple shoes, purple bag and even purple pants!

The palette is a skip for me....I really like the dark green eyeshadow but the other 2 not too much. I have and really love the Mystic Blue palette....I love each and every eyeshadow and the blush of this one :eyelove: And I caved and ordered the # 611 + a BU of the EtK # 33 yesterday! Scarab Violetta is adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is such a lovely collection and I ended up with the MB palette,all 6 EtK, the # 610 and # 611.Loveeeeeeee everything :bigheart: Ah, and I did also order my first Lip Maestro....the # 201 :love: Me too!
Wow! A backup? I didn't even think of that. This collection looks super great online. It looks kind of summery to me though. Why didn't it come out earlier? On my way to check it out now.
She doesn't usually "swatch" stuff, you should feel lucky that the eye shadows are swatched at all :pp:
Good to know! Loving your blog BTW.

Thanks so much :-* I also think it looks summery, I think it is kind of "Pre-Fall" Collection or something. I also think eye and lip products doesn't necessarily match but still they are all gorgeous LoL. Oh and I just gave up and purchased #610 Plum. It is sooo gorgeous!

Made it to Bloomies. No fall collection in sight. I was about to throw a fit. So tired from shopping in NJ and NYC today and so much walking! I sat down and the SAs crowded around me and wanted to know who told me Fall Collection was in. I recounted the story and they figured out who it was but when I told them she said there were no testers, they all went "oh!" And miraculously knew where they were! :LOL: They still said they had no testers but I said I knew what I wanted "All the eyes to kill." But they only had 5. So I still have to get one more. I told them I did want to play with the palettes when the testers came in. They offered to show it to me in the box. I declined since swatches (I think Sara's) showed two colors when swatched. Plus I'd spent way too much today and needed time to regroup. That being said I may end up at Nordies Armani tomorrow to do a return and who knows what will happen. The SA said there was an event coming up to showcase some new lipsticks where you could get some Vogue coffee table book as a GWP. I wonder if those Sephoras that carry Armani will have the collection as well.

And I did cave again and ordered a BU of the #34 too....those 2 ETK are my faves out of the 6!

Woohoo

Yikes. I just looked through my bag and it looks like #34 is the one that is missing. I guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow.

Dear Armani Lovers from Germany who don't have access to a counter, now Kaleidoscope Collection is available online on Douglas. Only the lippies are somehow not yet quiet there (only 300 and 409 is added) but ETKs and Palettes are all available.

Thanks, I tried both at the counter and was about to get #610... I also think this shade is more unique. But then there is also 410 which look fabolous as lipstick and the fact that I already picked up 300 *sigh*... Probably I get #610 and crave for 410 at some point ;)
610 is way more unique, but 611 is gorgeous as well. And I am not looking at anything else anymore :getyou:

They told me the same thing, but I cannot believe it. But if it us 410, they must have altered the colour with a gloss or a liner? (Yes, I admit it, I peeked at your swatches for 410 ;))

And do you guys think that the ETK #34 is a good shade? I am a bit torn, I like it, but then it might be too light/not my colour? Really going back and forth about it. Any L'Oreal colours that come close? TIA

Yes.
I really want all of them, too.
I've limited myself to 4 to swatch:
30, 32, 33, and 34.
From those 4 I'll choose 2.
Brutal financial reality steps in.
After all, Guerlain is re-editing the Météorite Perles de Nuit in their holiday collection...

I am not an Armani woman ( I have only 2 lipsticks and I purchased n°400 last week, no eyeshadow palette or blush or foundation! ) but this time I will purchase 3 lipsticks at least. On my list possibly one of the palettes, I still don't know.
Those lipsticks are gorgeous ! I was told the new foundation was the best ever, I'll try it ( sample ).

Found more Blogger Pics. I don't think these have been posted. I actually kind of forgot about this blogger. I bookmarked her site last year because she was one of the few bloggers that had early pics and info of the last summer's Armani ETK intense collection shadows. I should have known she would have some pics.
