L-R Magenta, Pop Pistachio, Electric Orchid, Ultra Marine

Must have Pop Pistachio!  Are you wearing it in your avatar?  Maybe I can skip the purple Mac Electric Cool shadow. This one looks similar.

Err ... wasn't going to get singles but Ultra Marine is the type of blue I like (leans a bit green). I think an online order is in order know.

Cant really remember exactly. But I think so.

The Color Vivid Shine Collection is now available at the german EL online store and,if you believe it or not,there are only 4 (!!!!) eyeshadows

Cyber Pink,Cyber Gold,Cyber Teal and Cyber Ruby!!!

Not even one of the super pretty colors
 

And of course no Gunmetal lipstick!

I've heard Macys wont be getting Violet Underground, anyone know if thi is true?

Temptalia just posted a review of the palette:

I have to say, I always sit up and take note when a blogger who sees as many beauty products as she must calls something the best palette she's seen in years...

I wonder if the magenta e/s in the palette is close to the Magenta e/s from the Color Vivid Shine Collection.

mac_aiken.....do you happen to have both and can compare them?

Agreed. BTW I broke down and got the Magenta e/s and Dressed to Kill n/p last week. Both are gorgeous.

I think the would be pretty darn close. Probably only a hair off in tone considering that magenta is a hard shade to get in pigment so they probably use the same base tone. But I get the feeling that  Magenta is going to be cool toned from other swatches I've seen. ^_^

I was a good girl an only got Ultra Marine and Cyber Pink in my order. Free shipping will actually show up on Monday for me as the distribution warehouse is in the GTA.

Thank you very much!

That would be great because the magenta e/s is the only e/s I would get the palette for.But now I will try to get the Magenta e/s from the CVS Collection.

I just found it on the Bloomingdale's site.  I have been checking this site for it fairly often as I was looking for the gloss but I ended up finding it at Nordies after all.  

Thank you mac_aiken!

That is good to know because I will definitely try to get the single then.Duochrome + brighter sounds perfect

Damn :( It's the only way I could purchase anything from it. I'm so bummed

You know you pale when Ultra Marine look like a darker richer peacock blue on your skin. lol

The palette is so gorgeous!!  I love the texture of these shadows and am so happy to see that Pecheux has turned things around for this brand.  I also had to have the gloss.......

My sister picked up the e/s palette and Chaotic Currant l/g.

I picked up the Violet Crush l/s but I'm going to go back for the Rebellious Violet l/g.

This lippie is gorgeous!

It may kick my lemming for hot pink lippies to the curb!

We finally got this collection on Saturday. I went to check out the single e/s (all 4 of them!) and came out with Violet Crush!

I was like all day!

And today too! It's the ultimate purple for me: enough pink and especially enough blue.

Forgot to ask: those of you who have the gel e/s - do you think they are comparable to EDES? Do you recommend them?

Yeah, Me too!

My sister has a blog & we are going to post this lippie on it.

We are so crazy - I told her since I didn't want to use my l/s yet, we would go back to the mall & swatch it & post swatch on blog.

SAD!

Violet Crush is so pretty I don't want to spoil the l/s by using it yet!

Here are our arm swatches of both l/e lippies ? l/g:

Of course they are much more richer and pigmented than these iPod touch photos show.

These were taken indoors @ EL counter under store lighting.

I'm so desperate to know - when is this collection being launched in Australia?

You're welcome. I got an additional one to give as a gift but loved it so much, I opened the palette up and used it on myself! Oops! Haha, I'll have to go back and buy one more, b/c I know my cousin will LOVE this! 

Don't forget to send me the shipping info! 

I got Violet Underground palette and it's amazing :) I like the fact there are neutral colours as well as bright ones.. I got compliment on makeup when I wore these eyeshadows.. I love this palette))
