Ladies-Suspicion and Body Heat arrived today!
They are the same formula as Nude Dip.

Suspicion-there are no words to describe how gorgeous this quad is in person swatched. It is absolutely stunning. I think, I know that I love this more than Nude Dip or Virgin Orchid.
It may be the most beautiful eyeshadow palette I own.
Body Heat is beautiful too, but Suspicion is in a league of it's own.

I also purchased one of the Lip Sparks-Powertrip. I love it! Just my kind of color for spring. It has a blue effect to it, which I afore.
And just as an FYI-it is not gritty at all. It is sparkly but not outright glitter and it is not gritty-you can't feel the glitter when you apply it or on your lips.
Still waiting for Clash to arrive and thinking about ordering Stunner, now that I know the formula is good.
I bought a couple of PM Blitz Trance lipsticks and I hated them, so I wasn't sure I would like the Lip Sparks but I love them-no comparison. TF wins.

I’m glad you’re enjoying the quads. I have mixed feelings about them. I have the same issue with Suspicion as I did with Nude Dio and that’s, on the eye, the colors are indistinguishable. I applied the orangey color and couldn’t even tell. All I see is shimmer. Body Heat is pretty but IMO not worth the price.

this was my problem too! i feel like you need another shade from a different palette or not use all of them in order to look decent

I agree. I will say that Suspicion looks absolutely gorgeous on the eyes. I'm reconsidering if I want to keep it.

Do you apply them dry or wet?

dry but it's not about the pigmentation it's the fact that 2 shades are almost identical on the lid and once you add the third and the fourth one it just looks like one shade smeared all over

Yeah, I understand the issue. Was just wondering if you've used them wet. Your experience stinks and is unacceptable for such expensive shadows.

Dry. I decided to keep Suspicion. When I wore it the other day I only used two shades and was very pleased with the results. To be honest, if I hadn’t gotten the 20% off at Sephora, I wouldn’t be keeping it.

I rarely use more than two shades on my eyes anymore. I ordered Suspicion as well but haven't received it yet.

it might be just the way i apply eyeshadows. if you are using like one shade only for all over the lid , or some other simpler look i think it would be really beautiful. it's just not for me.

I hear you. I struggle with this issue. When people complain about every palette b/c it doesn't have a brow highlight shade, I think 'Omg, just buy a single and use it as your go-to." But then with an $88 quad, I would expect to be able to use all the shades together to get a coherent look.
