Falling in love with Armani is a very slippery slope... And money tends to fall out of your pockets a lot on the way down it.

I couldn't agree more to the above statement.   When I stopped by the counter last weekend I had the girl pull all 6 new ETK.   I was able to talk myself out of 1 of them but the rest came home with me roughly $170 later.  LOL.   I'm still not sure that #25 won't wind up home with me as well.

Thank you for the link! 

 

I will probably pass on these though.  The colors look great, but I am not sure about the packaging.  I prefer to keep my products separate.  Shadows in one container, & blushes in another. ( I also hate when lippies are mixed with powder products in one palette.)  Just a weird pet peeve that I have.

Those are stunning. Totally impractical for regular pro use, but excellent for personal use!

I really like these palettes!!!

Hope to see swatches soon...

 

Thank you for sharing the link!

This looks lovely, but I'm sure it'll be well over $100 here, so I don't know if I can justify it. I guess it would still be less than buying three shadows and a blush, but not by a lot.

 

What I'm really curious to see are the lipsticks. RdA is one of my very favourite lipstick formulas and I'd collect all of them if I could.

I am the same way - I even prefer individual eyeshadows to palettes so I can grab the exact color I need.

Oh no...I hope that it won' t be too expensive!

For once, it looks like Armani is keeping almost the same price for Canada as they have in the US. Here's information on the collection- mostly what we already know- but with the Canadian prices. Also, I believe the lipstick names are different? These match what I saw in the binder at my counter, but I believe the links we saw had different names. Because makeup should be confusing.

I hope Armani keep the same prices here as the US too. Dior likes to name or number the products differently in Asia from the ones in US too, totally confusing!

armani definitely has been a slippery slope for me - up until now i've owned 5 of their Eyes to Kill Intense shadows & that's it..

 

i went to my holt renfrew with the intention of purchasing one of the new ETKs, ended up staying for a consultation/makeup application with the lovely makeup artist there, and came out with 3 ETKs, 1 regular eyeshadow, 2 eyeliners, a lipstick, a serum & samples of potential other products to buy..

 

someone help me!

What are the ETKs, eyeshadow, eyeliners, lipstick that you bought? Enjoy! Which 4 EtK do you previously own?

to answer your q's :)

 

i purchased: the ETKs in #24 smokey copper, #27 oxidized silver & #28 red platine, also a regular maestro eyeshadow in #4, the acqua waterproof eyeliners in both black and brown and the rouge d'armani in beige 102. i own far too much makeup, so writing this down makes  me feel a little guilty lol 

 

for reference the one's i previously owned were: 3 (purpura), 4 (pulp fiction), 6 (khaki pulse), 15 (copper impress) & 20 (obsidian black)

^^ Great collection! I only own Madre Perles and Blast of Blue EtK, RdA 506 and gloss 511. How do you wear Etk 24? I swatched it last week and I like it, but I'm not sure if it is too dark to wear as a lid colour. Is 15 close to 24?

 

I saw EtK 24 -29 and surprisingly came home with none. I feel I have dupes of them, though not exact dupes, except for 24. I want 24 if I can wear it as a lid colour, but I don't know if it will be too dark and give me a bruised look. I am a little regretting not buying any of them, especially 27, so I may visit the counter in two weeks time and see how I feel about them again, and hopefully they are not out of stock then. It seems that the Skin Lacquer collection of RdA Sheer and glosses would not come to my counter. My counter just refuses to stock a single RdA Sheer!

i was only planning on purchasing 28, but the SA did my makeup and used #24 in the outer-v with 28 on the lid for a smokey eye effect.  i wasn't initially going to purchase any of the darker ones, but it works great to add depth to the crease, and while it's sooty, it's not too over powering and something you could get away with in the day-time.  

 

personally i find it too dark to wear all over the lid,  but i have seen some people do it for an effortless smokey eye.  i know #25 is a slightly less dark colour but still similar, so maybe that one would be better as a lid colour.

Neo-brown palette swatches!

I love that the browns are more cool-toned but the blush looks much warmer than I was hoping...

Agreed on both. I love the browns. Probably pass for me though, since it will be pricey.

Thank you for the link!!!

This palette looks very pretty but I agree with you on the blush.It looks quite warm-toned but it is a nice shade for fall IMO.

Ooh! This was the new foundation my MUA mentioned- she didn't know anything about it other than it was launching. It'll be interesting to see how this compares to the new foundation Guerlain has coming out. I like that they've provided a more detailed explanation than usual, although without the active ingredients, it doesn't really mean too much. I put some faith behind Armani's research, though, because I was so blown away by their primer.
