I ordered it along with the VR or VB??? Pink Astral lip balm what ever it is called. The exclusive lip balm. I can't wait for it to come. Loving the lip glosses. I wanted to order some more of those but thought I should do a rush order since I ordered so late in the day.

I love the Pink Astral balm. The bronze one I should have stayed with my first mind and passed, its pretty but too glittery and the color would look better on someone with a deeper skin tone than mines.

I still have the same lipglosses, I wear Flesh Fantasy alone and keep it in my bag. I pair Flesh Astral with Unfaithful lipstick, love that combo. I pair Twilo with Tropicalia and its a pretty coral. Last but not least I pair Aphrodisiac with Realness lipstick for a pretty pink.

If it's any consolation, I've bought that complete Metalmorphosis set and ever since regretted it. This post pretty much sums up what I'm thinking. Those metal shades are pretty, but the cream shades are not that different from other golds, silvers or coppers that you can buy from other brands. And the pigments are difficult to use, or even unusable for everyday make-up. All in all, I do use the cream shadows, but I think you're getting more out of a metal-themed Tom Ford, Dior or Chanel quad. There might be some for the upcoming holiday with metallic shades, so I think you haven't lost out.

I bought a bunch a Pat McGrath for the Appreciation sale. Lost my Mind! I bought Flesh Fantasy, Flesh Astral and Bronze Temptation lip glosses and Bronze lipbalm the first go round. Then I went back and got Flesh 5 and Flesh 3 Matte Trance lipsticks and Aphrodisiac and Rose something lipglosses on the second go round. I just tried Bronze Temptation last week and thought it was glittery but it will probably be fine for me. I haven't worn that one out yet. I tried Aphrodisiac soon after I bought it and thought it was a no go and I needed to return it but I tried it again the other day and thought it looked really pretty so I guess I will keep it. I don't know what was going on that day.

I really love her lip glosses and that says a lot coming from me because I'm not a lipgloss person. The only other lip gloss I use to wear was Chanel glossimers but they kept discontinuing my fav colors so I just stopped buying them.

My PMG Bronze Seduction palette was delivered yesterday. When I swatched it I was a little worried I wouldn't be able to make a look that was appropriate for work. There are quite a few glimmer, glitter, duochrome shadows. Happy to report that I'm wearing it today and was able to come up with a wearable day time look. Having said that, I could have achieved a similar look with the ABH Soft Glam palette.

I need to play with the PMG palette more. I think it will really shine when I get to use the 'special' colors. Whether I like it or not I'm stuck with the palette since PMG doesn't really allow returns. Their policy is returns must me 'unopened and unused' merchandise. I understand why they do it but I'd prefer a more lenient policy. Often times, I don't know if I really like a shadow until I try it on and once you do that, it can't be returned. In the future, I'll order PMG products from Sephora where they have a much better return policy. I was anxious to get this one and take advantage of the 10% off.

Same here...it is a beautiful palette, but much more glittery than I was anticipating.
I was hesitant to order direct from PMG website as well, due to the return policy. I was afraid I would hate it, or at least not love it enough to make it worth what I spent for it and not be able to return it. But, I did end up ordering with the 10% off.

I'm wearing it today. It is beautiful, but I'm kind of on the fence about whether it was worth buying because of the glitter shadows.

After wearing it yesterday and today, I've decided that if I could return it, I would. I tried some of the glittery shades before washing my face last night, they definitely pack a punch. I had little glitter flecks everywhere - somehow it migrated to my arm. It's a beautiful, high quality palette but I can't wear most of the colors on a daily basis.

Ah, I'm sorry to hear you're stuck with such an expensive palette. Do you not have fallout with the glittery shades from her other palettes?

Sephora finally got the palette today and I ordered it using the gift card and paid 27$. All Pats palets have glitter shades, it’s just matter of you liking the shades they come in. With her previous palettes, sublime was the only one I felt I could work with but I ended up still not using the glitter shades.With the new palette, the glitter shades are what I have in other brands so I’m pretty confident I’ll like and use the glitter shades in this new palette.

i ordered the Mothership V, I live her formulas from the other palettes I have of hers. I need to try some of her lip products. I am thinking about the gloss or the tinted balms. How are the lipsticks? What brand do the lipsticks or glosses seem comparable to?

I have her 3 smaller palettes and the glitter shades don’t seem to have as much fall out. In the new palette, it’s the shades at the end of each row that seem to be the most troublesome. Also, half the shades in the palette have some level of glitter so that really cuts down on wearability for me. At this price point, I want more than 5 shades I can wear on a daily basis. I should have been a smarter shopper and checked it out in person.

Makes sense. I thought you had her other large palettes, so I was wondering how it compared in your opinion. I don't consider her smaller palettes to have any glitter shades.
You can probably resell the palette and recoup a decent amount of your money.

I love the smaller palettes! I think they might each have one shade that is somewhat glittery but nothing like the big palettes. I’m going to email PMG to ask about returning it.

did you order Bronze Seduction?

Def. prefer the look of these vs the Astrals

They do look pretty and I think she needs to call them sheer lipstick because them being considered a "balm" at that price point I think is too expensive but okay for a sheer lipstick which is what they look like anyway. I don't wear sheer lipstick and the pink astral was really cute for a summer/sunny days but yeah these are a pass for me.
