Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Eyeshadow Palette (photos are originally from reddit but the person who posted this deleted their ID so I can't credit the specific person). It's
supposed to come out in the fall:

To be honest, I'm not too impressed with this palette off the bat. I may feel differently once promotional photos and swatches come out, but at this time, I don't feel like it's a must have.

My order arrived yesterday and I'm really impressed with everything.

The eyeshadows are so, so creamy. I ordered 4 of them and might want to get a few more.

I ordered the peach blush palette and the pink one. I'm wearing the peach today.....a few quick comments, it is pigmented but very easy to blend. There is some powder kick-up when you tap your brush in but nothing too bad.

Many of the glosses are so pigmented they are more of a liquid lipstick than a gloss. Between the 2 I ordered and the ones I have from the lipgloss sets, I'm just missing 1. Now that I've seen the swatch of girlie, I might have to get that.

I'm thinking of giving the berry trio a shot. You?
If I do order one it would probably be the Peachy Love...I am loving peaches and corals right now. But I am holding off. I just ordered 2 of the newer MAC ED blushes and have the new Becca palette, so my blush game is strong...I don't want to over do it. ;)

After wearing moon jelly and girly I have to say I'm kinda bummed that they feel gritty. I think girly is worse but I still love the colors. St. Tropez is not gritty at all so I think it's just the clear based colors. I'm planning to get parfait once they come to Sephora and see more swatches.

Glad you like the shadows. I went for an 8 palette. First time buying ABH singles. I bought the new glosses along with Amber and St. Tropez. I agree the glosses are more like lipsticks. Even though I loved the colors, I wondered if I really needed full size glosses. I don't know when I would finish these mini sizes since you need so little. Since I splurged on the shadows, I decided to wait on the Blush Trios. I do want to try them soon though.

That's odd. I'm wearing moon jelly today and it's not gritty at all. It feels just as smooth as the others.

Maybe gritty is the wrong word. I can definitely feel the glitter. Moon jelly is more smooth than girly but I can't say it's as smooth as all of my others. Maybe I'm just super sensitive.

I know ABH gloss is all about pigment but I wouldn't mind clear or more sheer colors. I love the formula and find it very moisturizing but sometimes I just want something a little less opaque. Can't please everyone.

That makes sense. I didn't notice the glitter but perhaps I'm just not as sensitive to it.

I agree about the gloss. The reason I like it is because of the pigment - it's a good balance between a gloss and having the coverage of a lipstick. If you're looking for something more sheer, these glosses won't work for you. I own a bunch and have yet to come across one that I would describe as sheer.

This is the one I plan to order next but I'm waiting until it comes to retailers. I'd love to see a swatch if you have time.

I think the the photo captures the color but not the frost/metallic element.

Edit -- This is Parfait gloss.

I prefer more sheer formulas as well. I haven't been wearing my summer and fall gloss sets much until I learned a little trick. I put a little bit on one lip and then press my lips together. Then I wipe most of the gloss off the wand and use it to spread the gloss more evenly on both lips. I like the coverage it gives. Less opaque but not totally sheer. The applicator is really good for putting it on around the lip line. Because of this, I'm starting to enjoy the glosses more and think I will get a few more in the full size.
