T's swatches are up and I can see a couple of eye shadow that are not up to par En Fuego and Ashes are Meh! and the 2 lightest shade are also on the sheer side but that is never really a deal breaker for me. I still wont purchased that palette unseen. but the eyeliner YES!!!!

I often don't agree with her when a shade doesn't quite look saturated enough; I always use primer and I only apply deeper colours lightly. I want to be able to sheer them out a bit. It looks like a definite buy to me, as is Alkaline.
I'm not quite sure about the copper lipstick now that I see it on T; shades always look darker on me than they do on her for some reason.

I'm with you, she gave a couple of low grade on products that I love, e.i Makeup Geek Tuscan Sun eyeshadow I love that eyeshadow and she give it a C+. Even if I wouldn't rate that eyeshadow a C+ I still can see why she did it and the reason is, it was sheer but I used that eyeshadow as a transition shade so for me it doesn't matter but for other who would use that shade as lid shade the sheerness could be problematic so i guess it always depend on the how and where. but back the the UD HEAT palette, Phyrra also say that Fluego wasn't great, and you can see on just the T's swatches they are not as pigmented as the others.

Thanks; I just watched her video. Part of the reason I like this palette is because the shades aren't too red; it sounds like that's what Phyrra would prefer. I find these shades all more wearable for me. I think Fuego is just fine; it may not be quite as saturated, but since it would be a shade I'd use the powder equivalent of a couple of drops off to deepen my crease, I can see that there's plenty of pigment for that purpose.
If someone wanted to use it as a matte lid colour, they may feel differently. I just don't do dark matte shades that way on my 50 year-old eyes. It's not a good look. I prefer shades with some shimmer on the lid and mattes in the transition and crease, and I use a light hand with darker shades because they're aging on me otherwise. Maybe that's why I don't have a beef with some shadows T grades poorly.

Thanks everyone for posting thoughts/photos/etc. My feelings about if I want this or not have see-sawed dramatically back and forth and back and forth. It is probably going to be something I need to see in person too. The shades are all theoretically right up my alley. Which means I may also have some dupes. Will need to check...luckily this is permanent so there's no frantic rush.

love the shades but not sure if I would get this. probably have dupes and I think most looks would look muddy (since they are so similar all of them in tone) but I do love the look of the eye pencil called alkaline 
have to swatch this in store to make up my mind. they are a bit late on this *train*..

Agreed! I like T's swatches but they are not enough to make me want to run out and buy this. Honestly, I think I'm going to wait and see what the upcoming Sephora palette is like. I also have the Kylie burgundy palette so that can hold me over.love the shades but not sure if I would get this. probably have dupes and I think most looks would look muddy (since they are so similar all of them in tone) but I do love the look of the eye pencil called alkaline

Woah I'm so surprised by some of these reviews, all the shades were nicely pigmented on me. I didn't use a primer for my swatches, although I always moisturize my arms right after a shower.
I didn't have any problem with En Fuego, I applied it on my crease and the color showed up nicely and was buildable. And Ashes blended beautifully too, but I always apply transition shades before applying any dark shade like Ashes (and this palette contains a few transition shades).

It's so weird, because I ended up doing a huge run through my stash and determining that I didn't need to buy the Anastasia MR palette, even though there were a few shades that I couldn't dupe well, but I feel absolutely compelled to get this one. It's more expensive, and there aren't those red and plum colours that were harder to copy, but I just feel compelled.
I definitely want at least one, and possibly both, of the liners. (The only thing I'm wondering is whether or not I'll get the Marc Jacobs dark red liner instead. More expensive, but the formula is generally a bit better too.) and Heat lipstick wants to come home with me.

This palette is back on my radar. I just finished watching a video by Jackie Aina and it looks great. Granted she didn't use any of the three lighter colors but from what I saw the colors aren't as ashy as I thought. Allure really needs to step their swatch game up. The only thing is I won't buy this before it gets to stores. Now the plum pencil? That is going to happen without a doubt.

Reading all these reviews and looking at swatches and looks just caused me to order ABH MR. I'm sure I'll still order Naked Heat because these are such good shades for me. I don't care for the all dark amber looks so many are wearing, but I don't mind incorporating some lighter colours from other palettes into a look (I think some other shades like MAC Goldmine would look great).
I didn't need any other palettes, and now I've added two.

That's exactly how I apply my e/s too; a lighter transition shade, then a slightly deeper one over a smaller area, then a third matte to deepen the corner. I can tell from the swatches I've seen that I'll have no trouble getting more pigment that I could ever want from them. I can't wait to see get my hands on this.

It's how it should be done!

I'm wondering how the eye pencil compares to the Basquiat one in a similar color. Anyone see comparison swatches?

is it vintage and tacky ??? Yes found it at the end of the video, pretty sure she says Basquiat liner was better

I actually set my alarm so I could order at midnight - never done that before! I ordered the palette, Alkaline, Fuel and Scorched. I skipped Heat lipstick because I hate gritty lippies and I have a couple of similar shades. Hope they ship quickly! And now...
I ordered the palette but didn't see the liners or lipsticks on the UD site. What section were they under?
