I just picked up the quad, the duos in Bleu Electrique/Nude and Saphir/Orange, and the foil pot in Blonde Gold. I wanted the lipsticks and the single shadow in Blonde Gold but I don't see them on BG, not sure if I missed them or they're another store's exclusive. Definitely picking those up when this officially launches!

Her stuff is s bit pricey but I'm curious about the Aura Gloss and the Cheek Creme

 

[awickedshape]

The VB stuff is not showing up on BG now

^ I wonder if it was like a flash preview launch or if it went up early by mistake. I know the launch date is supposed to be September 1st

Now that I've had a closer look at the collection, I find I like the London and Miami looks the most. I am interested in how the Black Cassis and Burnished Rose lipsticks will swatch and will definitely buy the Saphir/Vanille eye kajal.

Oh I'm sorry I missed it. I wanted to get some prices. I did buy 3 Pure Color Love lipsticks from Ulta yesterday though.

I definitely want to pick up Black Cassis, I was sad when I didn't see it (or any of the lipsticks) on BG. I'm actually surprised we haven't seen more swatches yet w the official launch date so soon! I'm curious about the eye pencil too, but I'm SO picky with eye pencils so I need to see a review and swatches first.

My BG order comes in on the 24th, I'll post pics!

My BG items shipped. I was so happy to see the email this morning, I was afraid they might've delayed the shipping until the 1st when the collection is actually launched.

This collection is so large! Even if you take away the repromoted items, it is still a lot. I hope they plan on having a lot of stock and have it widely available. I'm having a hard time deciding what to get.

I actually think I may skip this time around! I bought a lot from her first collaboration and more during the second release. A couple of the new items loom really nice, but nothing is really calling my name lol. Go figure!

 

[LiliV]

Poo, my items are coming Friday now instead of tomorrow. I won't get to play with them until Saturday because we have plans Friday right after work too. I have zero patience lol

How is the quad? I am forcing myself to make decisions this year, and I'd love to have the duos but I know I'd get more use out of the quad. Did you get last year's Blonde Gold and if so, do you like the foil pot better?

I'm so excited for it to launch!

Add: NVM just saw you're waiting for them to arrive! Still curious to hear your thoughts after they arrive!

I kind of feel the same way, but I want to get some things because I have a FOMO, and a weird train of thoughts that since I already spent so much on the previous launches, I have to complete it more.

That saying, I think it's also because it's so much at once. I feel if it had been fewer items I probably wouldn't have made a choice and bought most of them. That's literally what worked so well on me last year, the fact that they were really selling an image and Victoria's luck. And I'm a sucker like that, I fall for everything.

This feels a bit like overkill and it's overwhelming to choose (and I don't want to get sucked into nearly everything like last year)... but still exciting of course!

I agree it is overwhelming. I think because it is more products, I may be able to wait for the in store launch. Last time, I bought stuff online and went to the in store launch too. I think a makeover will help me be more selective. The only thing is I have Pat McGrath on the brain big time. I do want the pore reducing powder and I think that may be one of the most pricey of products. I don't know if that will leave room for much else.

I want the pore refining powder too! But then I'm like... I have enough powders, maybe I should pick something up from the colors.
If you get a chance to see it in store, I would def. do it! In my country, it was only in one store in the capital city, so I had to order everything online. So I hope they put swatches out there before it launches!

Ugh, now my package says it'll be delivered by tomorrow, but it also says it's on the truck for delivery. I really hope it comes today!

Edit to add- I called FedEx to ask if this status means it's coming today or tomorrow and they said they don't know either. Thanks FedEx lol

My things came! I love the Blonde Gold Eye Foil (it's the only thing I've applied so far lol) it's super super glittery, but it's definitely best applied with a finger. It like doesn't stick to a brush, it's bizarre lol. The duos are super soft and creamy, but the quad is a little harder to swatch, the shadows are drier and lean more sheer formula-wise. I have a feeling it will apply just fine but it's the type of formula that just doesn't swatch opaquely

Here's my swatches

I was trying to decide between those 2 duos but they both look great. I was not interested in the quad but it looks nice here. It doesn't look as cool toned as I had thought. Great swatches. Thanks.
