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.

I can see this is going to be very bad for my wallet. lol there is an armani eyes to kill set on nordstrom's sale right now.....hhmmm

I just noticed the palettes on the Nordstrom site.

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!

Love the palettes, but the price is outrageous.

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!

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 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!

That is the only reason I haventorderedanything yet. I keep eyeing the ETKs and then the palettes, etc etc

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.

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.
