The MacKarrie.com site says these are releasing August 19th but I wonder if this is the same for the US. Has anyone heard? I may have to call my local counter so I can prepare.

In other Armani news, I picked up an Eyes to Kill Quad at an outlet a few weeks ago. So surprising to see Armani. They didn't have much though.

My guess is that it would be a couple of weeks earlier, probably around the beginning of August. They always seem to be the last to launch their seasonal collections, but it is generally earlier in the US than elsewhere.

The lovely Sara has swatched and reviewed some of the products from this collection! Here's her review on the palettes (including looks done with each!):

And here are her swatches of the lipsticks.

I'm a huge Fall lip colour fan and there are about four of those that are calling my name. I think Armani goofed on the description though- the colours look anything but sheer!

Thank you for sharing!

The palettes are very pretty

Yay! Another interesting topic in Spectra!

Thanks for the links Katred :-* I am very enthusiastic about the new collection. It is very unusual, shades have interesting light properties.

Today I also posted about five of the six Eyes To Kill Eyeshadows. I am wearing them today, all I can say is that they give you beetle eyes ;-p. I left the sixth shades, which is a silver one, usually hard for me to pull off.

Here is the link if you are interested:

OK, I'm pretty sure I absolutely need at least three of those: Rose Popilla, Scarab Violetta and Blue Beetle. Plus there are two or three of the lipsticks that I want. And possibly one of the palettes. Might have to pass on those, though, since the lipsticks and the EtK shadows look like absolute must-haves. I'm adoring the "beetle" theme and I find it very original for Fall!

MACina · Jul 22, 2013

....me too!

Thanks for the Eyes to Kill swatches and comparisons. I can't wait to get these.

I'm in love with Mystic Blue, EtK Rose Popillia, Scarab Violette and Blue Beetle. katred - That's the same EtKs as you! I think I can pass all the lipsticks, but I may get one of the oranges, #300 or #409.

I am also thinking to get one orange lippie! I am considering 300 but I have to try both to make sure.

After playing with ETKs a little, I can recommend #32, it is a gorgeous yellow/green which goes well with the blues as a highlight. Two of the blues though are way too "close" for my taste. If you have #34, you really don't need #31, unless you want to collect all.

Here is a teaser (sorry for the messy brows!) of the look I am about to post ;-)

MACina · Jul 23, 2013

Thank you very much, Sara!

Would you say that # 30 is a must?That is the only one I am still debating on....all the others are already on my list.

Loveeeee your eye look

If I would leave one from the first five I would rather consider leaving #31 since in my opinion it is close to #34. But it depends on what kind of looks you like. If you like rather eye intensive ones, you might as well skip #30.

MACina · Jul 23, 2013

Ok, I think I am sold on all of them

I am a sucker for colors like #31 and #34 so I can' t skip one of these.

But I think that my fave will be Scarab Violetta

I'm also curious to get a look at Silver Chafer- silver shades do tend to work on me fairly well, so there might be another addition to my list of "needs" from this collection.

RedVelvetX · Jul 23, 2013

More swatches of the collection http://www.kaisobsessions.com/?p=2320

What the heck? The overspray in the palettes is so weird! Despite that, I will get Mystic Blues. I really like lipstick 612 but I wonder how it compares with 526 from last fall.

Lol. Her picks of the EtK shadows were the same as mine and MissQQ's. Based on the photos, I think I can pass on Silver Chafer as well, since I don't think it looks incredibly distinct from other silver shades. I really like the looks of 410, 610 and 611 from both sets of swatches we've seen. I'll just have to make sure that 610 isn't too close to 604, or any of the other many deep plum shades that I have. My wallet is not going to let me even consider a palette at this rate...

sarabeautime · Jul 23, 2013

Hi Katred, I just picked #35 today and swatched it against #4 at the counter. #35 is very soft, I will let you know after I try it out tomorrow. By the way the lip sticks are not sheers, they are Rouge D'Armani, although it is written Sheers on the collection panel. So strange. I pointed out to SA and she was also surprised. Today I tried the lip sticks, I fell in love with 300. It is still on my lips, I don't want to eat because it may come out LoL.

Yes and yes and yes.
Th palettes are stunning, but my cc started whimpering when I saw the swatches for Venomous Green.
