I was trying to decide between those 2 duos but they both look great. I was not interested in the quad but it looks nice here. It doesn't look as cool toned as I had thought. Great swatches. Thanks.

I'm normally not into blue eye shadows but when they're super vibrant I crack lol I think I'll use the Bleu Electrique/Nude one more, but that orange shadow is going to be perfect for fall looks! I'm thinking about getting the third duo too, the nude and black one. I really really do not need that but I have the itch to get it bc it's so wearable lol

I can't wait until this is fully available, I really want to get the lipsticks too. This collection did me in lol

The quad is definitely a drier, more sheer formula, but I think it's supposed to be sheer and subtle. The gray shade is weird, I will give Temptalia that, it really has barely any pigment, but I don't really have an issue with the other 3 shades. I think the idea is to use the gray as a base layer or to blend out the other shades. I think because lately the trend has been super-pigmented and creamy shadows that when a different formula comes out (especially a sheer formula) people are like what is this? The quad reminds me a bit of Korean eyeshadows if anyone knows the texture that I mean

Fired Crystal, Blondes Gold and maybe the primer. I do
like the dark lipstick, but I'll pass. Is the primer new?
I never payed much attention to the first launch.

Yeah, I agree that it looked like such a lovely quad and that the review is disappointing. I was mostly amused by Christine's irritation but kind of bummed because I was considering purchasing that palette. The good news is that I have a ton of eyeshadows in very similar shades so I can recreate it in a palette of my own making.

You two are cracking me up! I'm disappointed because I loved the color combination, and this was the item I was going to buy. But it's just not what I'm looking for at that price point.

I just went to check out the collection on EL Canada... I bought Modern Mercury back in May when they had a re-release and it was $78. Now as part of the new collection it is $98. That's a shocking price increase.

I get ya.
Sometimes I really like an item but it's hard to make sacrifices on certain elements at that price point.

Wow. Have they made a mistake? That's ridiculous.

Glad someone said something. I thought it was $65 in the US previously and now it's $75. Not a terrible increase, but an increase nonetheless.

So the lipsticks are delayed, at least on the Estee Lauder site- and this morning they said "pre-order" on the VB site too but now they seem to be available? I had a feeling they would be delayed bc they weren't available on Bergdorfs 2 weeks ago and I haven't seen anyone get them in. I ordered the Black Cassis and Victoria lipsticks and Blonde Gold eyeshadow this morning. The lipsticks say they'll ship sometime next week.

I'm so tempted to order the Black Cassis lipstick, but for $50 it better not rot like the TF lippies. I can't understand how they have pretty gold packaging for Black Cassis versus the standard packaging on the other lipsticks for the same price.

I don't understand the difference between the two tube shades either. At first I thought they were different finishes but they all say matte, so I really don't get it lol

Collection was supposed to launch 1am my time, I stayed up refreshing until 1.35 am and gave up because it was still the coming soon screen. Woke up four hours later, had a look and the Blonde Gold eye metal (one of the two things i wanted to pick up) was sold out. I ended up ordering the Skin perfecting powder and two of the eyeliners. I would have picked up the nude lipstick but it was still on pre-order. I've been checking the site all day and when they restocked Blonde Gold I placed another order, still no lipsticks available.

Hasn't even launched yet on my EL site, probably only next month. When it launches there I'll probably try to pick up the eye shadow palette and the nude lipstick. Hoping to see some reviews first.

This is my first time ordering from her official website, hope everything goes smoothly.

The primer is a relaunch. I think it did stick around for the whole year though.

I ordered the Smudgy liner this morning from the VB website. It wasn't on the EL site at the time. I did notice the lipstick price increase but not the highlighter. I wonder why. I think the prices are pretty high already. I'm holding out for more products for my makeover. I am nervous that this is launching so much earlier. I'm just going to assume they are holding product for the event and if not, so be it.
