Girl I ain able with that rush and the madness that is her website *smh*. Depending on how I feel when it launches on Sephora, I'll decide then. I'm thinking of one of the kits with the two lipsticks though. Either Flesh (the nudes) or Bloodwine (the vamps).

Did you get anything or planning to get anything?

I'm just hoping to score the Flesh kit and would even consider buying the larger kit just to have it. I love the quality of the products, even though the packaging is inexcusable.

Lol

Bloodwine looks good

I'll be skipping for now. I'm waiting for Neiman's to have a beauty bag event

Is anyone getting these? I want either Vermilion or Bloodwine. If I had enough money I'd buy the everything kit, but one kit should be sufficient. I still regret not getting the nude skin fetish 003 (gave too much thought) and the phantom 002 pigments (forgot the release date).

My cart is loaded but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger. That packaging is SO raggedy... AGAIN! Why? I just can't abide by that flimsy looking madness. And glitter lips are a no go in terms of actual reality (and I have a crap ton of microfine glitter anyways) so I was just interested in the lipsticks. There was a predictable meltdown on the launch date on Instagram. Again. I didn't even try. Website was crashing and what not. People throwing tantrums on Instagram and Pat trying to keep everyone calm. Someone should lose their job because it's not that hard to expand traffic channels. Hell, even MAC got it together to prep for big launches. One problem is all that flash garbage she has on the home page. Slows everything down and bottlenecks traffic. I'm not even technically savvy and even I know better. I'm just not understanding the level of shenanigans. It's so unprofessional, and that drugstore bargain bin packaging is not helping matters at all.

Same predicament here. $25 per lipstick on its own.... makes more sense to buy the kits right? Except that like you, I don't need the gloss, glitters or pigments. I love her but I'm going to have to skip yet again.

Yeah. And it all makes me sad because I think she is fully worthy of her LEGEND ARTIST status. But those products... nope.

As per this video, the reason why the packaging is so cheap is because the formula is so expensive (as per Pat via this YT'er).

I'm sure she could've save some money on those darn sequins in each packet though lol!

Agree 100%!

They are so unnecessary unless you're a designer with a dire need for sequins. I get the intention for a special touch on packaging, but they are so counterproductive and impractical. A little box would have been sufficient imo.

These are supposed to launch during mid day but I'll be in the middle of a class that I can't skip and college internet is a bit of a mess right now. :( I'm still on the fence between Vermillion Venom and Bloodwine. I can't believe I'm going back and forth with red lipsticks, of all the colors in the world. Flesh is kind of tricky because it looks peach-brown toned. I wish the glitters were sold individually.

Since I couldn't decide which kit to get, I got both Bloodwine and Vermillion Venom because I have no shame, lol.
