Lusting after the plums..I’m so predictable..and.. incurable!
Same here 😀
Now that’s what I call stunning packaging!
I had this release calendared – ordered Plum this morning. I had thought about getting Smoke but honestly the shades look blue and not grey (kind of disappointing). I’m hoping to have this tomorrow if they ship on time. Otherwise, I’ll have it Thursday. I’m holding off for your reviews on the other 2 to see what you think and how the shades transfer. If you like them, I may get the rest to have portable warm palettes. If they’re decent, I think the price may be reasonable.
Michele, let me know what you think of the Plum! I need some mattes, and hoping these don’t disappoint
Katherine, will do! Plus a review should be posted on my blog by Saturday afternoon or evening. (Actually if Plum is good, I may pull the trigger on Rust and Sage…)
Ok, changed my mind. I looked at these on Kat’s site and the shades (and swatches) look completely different than on the Sephora site. On Kat’s site, the Smoke palette actually looks grey and not blue. Also, the Rust palette looks pretty close to orange on her site so that’s a no-go for me. Sage looks pretty similar on both sites. So, I’m thinking I’ll go for Sage and Smoke if Plum is swatches good tomorrow when it arrives.
Rust and Sage look so good, I’m very tempted by these! I’ve been debating if I should get this or the original large one… This quad’s packaging looks so much more travel-friendly, since it’s not that sturdy cardboard that she seems to use for the rest of her recent palettes, not to mention the size is great, but with only 4 shades for $26 and the large one with 12 shades being $46, it seems pretty pricey.

I’m interested in the Rust and Plum. I’ve seen these on YouTube and they seemed pretty good. The packaging is really nice. Can’t wait to see swatches/reviews.
Great price on these but, to be honest, I’m not all that excited about any of them. That might change when I see them in store, though.
Oooh I love the plum quad.
Well, I have brown eyes, but I can wear all these colors, and I really need more mattes, but no way am I buying matte shadows without seeing reviews and swatches first.
Agree on the needing mattes – me too! That’s why I bought the Plum even though I have similar shades in multiple other palettes.
Am drawn to the plum palette, but reviews first.
I’m eyeing Rust and Sage. Will wait for your swatches to see how dupeable they are 🙂
I like the greens and the grays. Not so sure about the matte-ness, but, if performance is good, I could combine them with some satins and shimmers.
The plum looks amazing. Hopefully the reviews are good. If they are, I will definitely be putting it on my list for the Sephora sale.
At this moment, the Plum and Rust are definitely calling my name! However, those are EXACTLY the types of shades I tend to hoard in my stash. That said, I will probably put together a MAC quad with Fig 1, Haux, Blackberry and Grain for a smoky, almost exclusively matte palette…. Possibly sub-ing a shimmer in place of ? Like Da Bling? We’ll see, maybe Plum will be IT.
Love the matte themes. With the current emphasis on dewy foundations, gleaming highlighters and satin blushes, a matte eye is nice. My eye is on the plums.
I wish I could wear Kat Von D eyeshadows. The shadows make my eyes feel on fire. I bought the Kat Von D eye contour palette and refused to return it because every eye look I try looks amazing. I know I can only stand the burning for short time. So they are a pass for me.
I’m all for that purple one.
Very tempted to get the plum one. Def going to wait for your review and other’s before I purchase
I bought the plum one without waiting for reviews. I got too hyped. DOH! Hope it gets good reviews.
My eyes are blue/green and I love the rust and plum palettes. The price is great too.
These look like a really lovely little set of shades. I like the green and blue additions. Perfect – now just for the scores.
These look interesting and very user friendly. Good to see they’re permanent too.
Oh, wow. 😮
I really don’t need any more eyeshadow. But… these seem so well done! I’ll have to check out the Rust and the Plum.
My eyes are blue-green but I’m getting all four of these because I love KvD shadows.
‘For Summer,’. Thought they were LE. Good they’re not. They all have definite possibilities. Anyone hear about reformulation of that abysmal set of duo blushes? Always liked the smaller and medium sized products, as the blockbusters were less evenly performing. She does a pretty good matte, c.f. Ladybird. Sturdy packaging. Looking good so far.
I do love the packaging and some of the colors, but they’re a bit underwhelming! Maybe it’s because I already have Shade + Light Eye, Monarch, and Chrysalis palettes. These quads seem unnecessary since I’ve already got those. 😛
These look very tempting, the plum one most of all. I have green-grey eyes, but am under the delucion (sp) that I can wear (almost) any colour. And I do 🙂
Wish these had been released in one large palette rather than these quads. I love my Shade+Light palette, and would love to have some more colorful shades in the same formula, but with these quads you get a couple more unique shades and a couple I almost surely have dupes for in each quad–plus having to decide which to get kinda makes me want to skip it altogether. The packaging is cute but looks bulky, and I would have liked to have the same format as the original Shade+Light so you could store them together.. I’m feeling very meh, whereas if she had put the more colorful shades into a 12-pan palette, I would have jumped on it the second it launched.
The plum quad has my name written all over it, I don’t turn down purple eyeshadow very often. I will wait and see how the reviews are for these first though.
I’ll be curious to see how these swatch out and wear for you Christine. I swatched Plum today and I found it really dusty; even a light touch with the shadow brush had powder everywhere (including on the vanity). Swatching with no primer on both the inside of my arm and the back of my hand, the shades really seemed to muddy, although they did feel slightly creamy by the brushstroke. I’m holding off on buying the other 2 palettes I had thought of buying until I can get a chance to actually wear them for a day over eye primer.
I like the brighter orange and green shades from Rust and Sage, but I’m not so keen on buying the whole quad. Hopefully there will be some close dupes!
