This sounds good. Application is hopefully not messy.

I'm almost done my waterweight foundation and I don't think I'll repurchase. I like Face and Body better.
I really liked it but had to return because the lightest shade was still a tad too dark, so I'm not getting my hopes up for the concealer.
I also like the shape of that new concealer brush but I didn't like how the 196 felt on my skin (I prefer the 170) so I probably won't like this one either.

VERY surprising! Is Revlon owned by Lauder? If not, I can practically hear the patent attorneys salivating from here!
Although I guess they could have not patented or licensed the tech out....just strange for it to launch so close to the MAC launch....

They're not (I don't think EL owns any drugstore brands?). It could just be they had a similar product conception/development timeline?

Honestly, the likelihood of that is next to zero, but in that case they would presumably have competing patent applications. I'm guessing Lauder licensed out. One other possibility would be if the patent was already filed and was expiring. If multiple companies had been on the look out for that, then they could have developed around the same time to have the products drop upon patent expiration. I may have to look this up....anyone see a patent or patent pending number on their MAC roller liner??

It is what happens in the fashion industry all the time - and in the beauty world too. A new product is copied quickly and production processes are expedited in order to get new trends to the market as quickly and cheaply as possible. There is always the issue of intellectual property, but as trends move so quickly, it's not worth to go down the attorney route.

I saw that too, they released it pretty soon after MAC came out with it. It was very obvious they ripped off the idea.

Nope, I don't see anything on either the box or the product itself
Still I'm glad I bought 2 in the matte black, it's fun doing a winged cat eye with the wheel lol
