I feel the opposite to her. I went to a NY boutique yesterday and although it wasn't due to launch until today, they had everything out. My friend and I were there for an hour and their SA Daniel went through all the products with us as well as some other products from other lines. Apparently, Francois is a hands guy so the shadows are meant to be applied with finger tips. They're also moreso shadow toppers than alone shadows. Pics do not do these justice. The duo (Parallel Universe) is multi-faceted and can only be appreciated, IMO, in person. That said, on a finger press, none of the glitter fell out and I had intensity on a non-primed hand for over an hour before I wiped it off. The pink blush (Starscape) was not powdery in the least and something about the yellow undertone is very flattering - it's to die for. I also really loved the pink multiple (Quantum). On my face, we used it over their new foundation and topped it with the blush. I had told the SA that I wasn't impressed with swatches of the glosses we had seen online but after he explained that they're more like stains and he tried it on my friend with her look, I think I'm going to get two of them. They're like those tarte lip thingys that adjust colour based on the heat in your lip etc. The glossiness lasted about 2 hrs and the stain lasted until she took it off. The gold single is also very beautiful Although this pic does not do the swatches any justice, I'm still posting for reference. The top 2 are from the duo. The pink blush is on the left and the gold ~~duo~~ single on the right. The purple shadow has fine teal, purple, pink and blue shadows going through it. The goldy/green has a darker green and some others. We couldn't get it to photograph well. The gold is also more pigmented than it shows in my hand swatch. https://instagram.com/p/1bWUNhNMdK/ In this pic, my friend is wearing Mezmer gloss (the corally one). She's on the left. https://instagram.com/p/1bg3VXtMQ8/

Thanks for your thoughts, both of you look great!

I just ordered Quantum since its an exclusive. I had to get the mini orgasm blush I will get Violet Atom, Starscape & Mezmer from NM or Nordies when they get the collection. Everything looks so beautiful on Karen. I love how she used VA with Quantum - beautiful.

I ordered Violet atom and St Lucia multiples on April 18, I called today and was told that they had been waiting for the sample orgasm blushes and my order would be shipped today, and I would get an email. Ha nothing of the sort as of yet. Also Nars and Bloomingdales are both out of Outer Limits so I ordered that from lord and Taylor. I got the other goods from Bloomingdales because they have a good bonus with an $85 purchase, you get a mini Orgasm illuminator and a mini Via Veneto eye pencil in a little black pouch.

Oh wow.

She should tell her neighbors that she is putting up a camera (doesn't really have to) to scare them.

I ordered Violet Atom & Mezmer gloss

My order of Quantum from the Nars site shipped already.

Luscious V · Apr 23, 2015

I got my package I'll swatch when I get home guys

I ordered Mezmer gloss & Violet Atom from Barneys & I just got a ship notice already but it was just for the gloss. So weird that VA would ship separately. Maybe they are shipping from stores.

When I ordered from lord and Taylor some of my stuff shipped separately from a store. Thankfully the store was actually closer than the warehouse and that stuff came earlier haha. I hope you love them!

I didn't do a side by side, but I think it's darker than Desire but about the same in undertone. Hehe, Violet Atom is so unique, I'd say go for it. And you can always change the look of it with a different blush on top.
Yes, definitely check them out if you can. Awww, we did have a good time. You should try to go if you can. We may go to the Makeup Show next year instead to compare. IMATS has gotten very commercial and geared towards sales but that united love of makeup can't be beaten.

aww man, it's commercial now? I should have went when I heard about it 7 years ago ( i know still late) LOL

If you go with people who are there for the right reasons, you'll still enjoy it, I think!

I plaxced my order from Bloomies yesterday and it got here today, crazy, it shipped from CT and I'm in NY. I personally love this collection. The duo shadows are gorgeous, hard to see in the pictures. Both blushes, Mezmer and Nucleus glosses. The rest were freebies from Bloomies.
