There is no way I'd pay those prices. I'd rather buy MAC and I work for Target! The products do look interesting, especially Pixie single pot eyeshadows (although they're $18).

I just looked at the brands on Target.com and what the f!! Who the hell do these brands think they are?? Target is not Sephora, yo!!

I believe those are all "premium" brands in the UK and AUS that have made their way here and wound up at Target. Target has been really trying to distinguish itself from the Wal-Mart crowd by wooing buyers with "premium" designers exclusively for Target and now the makeup brands. Sephora carries Pixi (at least it used to) and I'm all for getting those new brands here. If Sephora won't carry them, then why not Target? I've got my eye on one of those Jemma Kidd shadows.

I'd rather spend my money at MAC and Sephora, if only for that high-end, expensive atmosphere that they have.

Meh I'd try them out if the color/pigmentation was right. MAC and Sephora don't have EVERYTHING. Almost though....lol.

If the quality of the products is great and comparable to higher-end lines, then I don't really see the problem with them being priced higher as well. They are diffusion lines for brands that either have their own shops or are featured in luxury stores (and are more than twice as expensive). The price point is higher than the average Target wares, but they're still much cheaper than their sister lines. I think that's kind of the idea here - brand name and, presumably, brand quality, for a more affordable price.
It's kind of interesting marketing experiment. I'm curious to see how it does.

I see a problem with the price because even if they are higher-end, we know it doesn't cost that much to make it. And Target prides itself on being AFFORDABLE and higher scale, this is just higher scale... not necessarily affordable to the average American who goes in there with no makeup knowledge.
I'd rather get beauty inside points at Sephora or whatev

I wouldn't put Jemma Kidd in the 'high-end cosmetics' bracket. They sell it in Boots over here, and while their brushes look good, the actual cosmetics look a bit tacky.

I saw these today. The looked nice in person. I didn't know about this thread beforehand so when I saw them I was excited until I saw the price point. I think the lipgloss was $16 or $18. I probably wouldn't buy it. The price point is too high for the retailer that is carrying it.

Jemma Kidd has her own make up school in the UK. I remember reading a lesson with her is £6000 ($12,000) if i remember correctly! Her stuff is alright I guess, they sell it in Boots over here in the larger stores. I guess it is higher end... its usually with Ruby & Millie, Urban Decay, Benefit etc in the larger stores.

Those prices are pretty outrageous for Target; I expect that they won’t be around too long. I like my Napoleon Perdis l/s, but it seems that this line didn’t sell well at Sephora (it’s taken them over a month to get rid of the stuff although they are 75% off).
I will check out the products, there are 2 l/s that have peaked my interest (dam, they are more expensive than MAC).

what! i just looked on the target website... I knew they had Boots No7 there, but their Radiant Glow Concealer is on there for $12.99.... thats about £6.50, over here its £12 which is $24!!!! Thats ridiculous.
I seriously urge any of you girls to pick up that concealer... it is EXACTLY (and I mean exactly) the same as Touche Eclat... infact I prefer it to Touche Eclat!!

I'd respect the price if the products didn't look like they were worth less than half the price tag. NP set looks okay though.

I swatched one of the Jemma Kidd shadows and the payoff was really good.
