Pat McGrath Beauty

[Sugar & Spice]

I was all ready to buy the shadows but they are not launching on the site until the 28th. I probably should wait for Sephora since it is coming there the first week in October. Why couldn't they just launch everything?

I was ready for the eyeshadows too, Sublime palette but yeah since they are releasing close together, I'm going to get it through Sephora.

However I went crazy with the lipsticks lol. I got

35MM
Omni
Elson
Psycho Candy I must get every fuchsia lipstick lol
Beautiful Creature I love the name and couldn't get it off my mind and I'm hoping I love it.

I need Christian louboutin lipstick replacements and Pat McGrath is it!

I have too many in my cart right now. Wish there were great swatches somewhere to help me narrow it down.

Check out the Pat Mcgrath Thread on Sephora Beauty Talk for pictures and swatches of some of the new ones. The only one I'm sure about is Sorry Not Sorry which looks just gorgeous.

Pat went live on Instagram and swatched a lot of them and the instastory is still up on her Instagram page.

From the swatch it looks like I'm going to love Beautiful Creature thank goodness lol.

I kept going back and forth between Beautiful Creature and Sorry not sorry but I'm pretty sure Sorry will pull more plum and I prefer more rose/pink undertones.

Did you see the lipstick break? I gasped lol

 

[Sugar & Spice]

YES! However I think it was because she was applying too much pressure trying to show how opaque the lipsticks are as when I was watching I said to myself that she sure is swatching them mighty hard. So I really wasn't surprised when it broke as I would have been shocked that it didn't.

Its obvious she was trying to show the intensity of the shade but color payoff is something thats either there or its not and after the lipstick broke she started being more gentle but then she would keep going over the swatch building up the color which I felt was unnecessary. Maybe she purposely was being dramatic I don't know but nevertheless I wasn't disappointed or put off by it.

However the true test will be when I receive them and test them for myself as I have no complaints with her mattes. So I'm hoping for the same outcome with the LUXE especially given that my CL lipsticks are almost used up and although I love them, for $90 I really don't want to repurchase them.

I think that's exactly it; in all the excitement with friends backstage, and the lipstick was extended too far and too much pressure while swatching. These things happen but I was kinda bummed for her that it was live.

I know, $90 is a big commitment! Whether financially or on principle.

It also didn't help matters that whoever was next to her let out that loud sigh, I felt more embarrassed by that than the lipstick breaking. But yeah it seemed like nerves was getting the best of her. However they're doing well as a few are sold out again.

Did you get any?

Not yet. I was tempted by Flesh3 but couldn't commit. Which is too bad, because the quality looks good and the price is not too bad at all.
I can't wait to hear what you think of the Luxe line!

Flesh 3 was the first one to sell out so it must really be good! Its too warm for me though but yeah I'll run and post as soon as I get them.

Yeah those swatches are on Sephora and Pat has a swatch video on her Instagram and it looks really good!

I've been waiting for a shipping notice for the lipsticks but from the sound of the text in the e-mail, I don't think the site sends shipping notices which is a bummer because I like to track my packages. In any case they should be out for shipment by now.

 

[Sugar & Spice]

I finally got a shipping notice for one of my orders but I placed both orders within an hour of each other so the other order should ship very soon hopefully.

 

[Cake Face]

Can't wait to see everyone's swatches!

 

[Sugar & Spice]

Ugh my second order still hasn't shipped yet but I get my 1st order Wednesday and I'm not ordering the eye palette from her site for sure now and will order through Sephora cos her processing takes way too long.

Her launch is on the 28th and Sephora Oct. 6 so with her slow processing, I would probably end up getting the Sephora order before I would get it from her site.

I bought the entire lipstick collection from Sephora when it launched there (mostly because the two sets I wanted were sold out). Two of the lipsticks no longer swivel up, which is very disappointing (and annoying. In my past experience with Sephora returns, if youbuy something as a set, they make you return it as a set, but that’s notnecessary and a huge hassle. What would you guys recommend – contacting PatMcGrath or Sephora, or both? I just want lipsticks that function as intended. I’veonly used one of these once and the other is a shade I really like. And is thisa widespread problem? Thanks!

I would contact Pat as she interacts with people that reach out to her especially since you don't want to return the set, so maybe she'll replace it for you. One of my lipsticks the twist up thing separated, so I guess you're not suppose to twist it on the body of the lipstick and just at the bottom? But yeah the packaging material is cheap but I can over look it because the lipstick is worth it.

 

[coffeewithcream]

Thanks; I haven't been twisting these differently than the others and yes, the gold tube literally lifts right off the plastic underneath. I will reach out through the web site and hope their customer service is decent. If not, I might tweet to her. I do love the lipsticks and am keen to try the new shadow palettes.
