They both swatch just fine. I've only worn Bitter Clove so far and it applied without issue. I have hooded eyes, wore a primer, and had no creasing issues. Bitter Clove is similar in texture to MUFE diamond shadows but does have more glitter/sparkle. It looks fairly close to the Dior mono shadows that came out this fall. It's a pretty shadow and if you don't own anything similar and want a $45 eyeshadow, then I say go for it. If you already own all the makeup in the world as many of us do, ehhhhh, $45 for one eyeshadow...eehhh?

I've coveted Modern Mercury for quite some time, but somehow missed that it was part of this collection until today (catching up on T's reviews). I was astonished to find it still seems to be available on the EL site, so in went my order.

I think this will be the most expensive item in my makeup stash, the only other thing I've got close to this price with is Guerlain Meteorites.

I just ordered Black Myrrh from the Estee site. The singles seem to be sold out everywhere else. I wanted to get Bitter Clove as well and the Estee site said "Add to Bag" but every time I clicked it it wouldn't actually add, so I think it's sold out there too. I'm still debating Brazilian Nude and the palette too lol

I want to chime in about this collection! At first I had no interest in it, but as swatches came out and hype increased, I knew I had to have a few things. Sadly I waited too long and most things I wanted sold out, however my good friend in England was able to grab me the highlighter, brazilian nude, and the matching lipliner and he sent them to me! I should be getting them by Wednesday (hopefully earlier). I also went to my local saks and was surprised to see they had the collection as well, but also sold out lol. I did however buy the black myrrh eyeshadow, and also tried to order the clove eyeshadow and blonde gold liquid shadow from another location.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope I get the blonde gold, that one is amazing! I tried it in store and it's like a silver-gold duochrome explosion, it'll be gorgeous for the inner corner of the eye or a splash of glitter in the center of the lid. I obviously I hope I get the bitter clove as well, but will understand if I can't get it since it showed that only 5 were left in the entire country (for Saks at least).

As for swatches, all I have right now is the black myrrh eyeshadow since I'm waiting on my other stuff! I'll post once I get more things . Here is the eyeshadow in daylight, with ONE FINGER SWIPE on my arm! Look at that pigment! I fell in love! The packaging is also top notch, I can see that a lot of the price is for the packaging as well. It is sturdy, heavy and very luxurious.

I feel like I slept on this collection too. I had my cousin's wedding to pay for when this launched and I have a trip coming up in less than a month so I just couldn't justify buying stuff even though I have been a HUGE Victoria fan since I was 7 lol. I ordered Black Myrrh which should be coming this week and I think I'm going to order the palette too (I'm not an Estee person so I want to try out Myrrh first) and I really want Bitter Clove and Blonde Gold!! Ugh. I knew this collection would sell out but I didn't know how long it would take

I needed to correct this post. There are some things still available on the EL site this morning. I thought everything was there, but I had cached pages...

Yay, glad you got it! I'm in the minority in regards to the packaging. I think it's a Frankenstein version of the Tom Ford packaging that it was mimicking.
