We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when
a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set
expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up
being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!
How shimmery are the shimmers? I thought the shimmers in Tryst were closer to satins than shimmers. This actually works better for me and my wrinkly eyelids but I doubt that many others will feel the same way.
Sara, I own both the Theory palettes in Cashmere and in Minx and they are so worth the money. Shades also contain 2 grams, that’s a lot of product! So if you want to treat yourself, go for it! (After Christines review of course… Shades #2 and #4 look a bit weird…)

I would wear your eye look for Absinthe every day. It is gorgeous! And I’m surprised by how much I like the looks of Siren. I don’t own any of the super warm Heat/Toasted etc pallettes as I tend to gravitate towards more neutral and cool tones. But it looks lovely as well!
I love your sultry, smoky eye look with Absinthe! The random glitter in some of the swatches is unappealing to me, but it’s nice to see a cohesive green palette.

I got Absinthe in the mail yesterday. It is beautiful. I like that it is subdued greens and not a bright kelly/spring green selection. I feel like it will work well in all seasons and I am glad I got it. I didn’t get the Siren palette because I have plenty of those shades. I am looking forward to using the matte forest green as a liner. I’m happy I made the purchase.

Absinthe looks a bit of a mixed bag, but your eye look with it is absolutely stunning!!! Siren looks like a winner, but I think I have enough dupes
#5 is so interesting – looks totally black in the pan but swatched it has such an interesting greenish undertone. I thought it would be a lot like the dark side of Nars Rue Allent but it’s entirely different. I am so eager to read how this reviews and also see your dupes because I think I’ve dupes (multiple ones) for at least 3 and probably 4 of the shades which wouldn’t make this the best choice for me.
April. Rouge sale. Absinthe! That eye look you did SOLD it to me ?%!
Siren is more my type of warm neutrals palette, because peachy shades make the green in my eyes pop. Torn between Siren and Tryst, though.

The glitter (?) in Absinthe #2 and #4 looks like flecks of seasoning…
Golly gosh – these look fabulous – love Absinthe, those greens just entrall me.
Your eye look is sensational Christine!

I love the tones in Absinthe but a couple look a little patchy, #2 and #4. Love the greens!! Waiting for reviews.
I got Absinthe (still in the mail) just for the greens, but those glittery shades swatch kind of bad. The look you did with it is gorgeous|!
The green eye look you created is bomb! I like how both look. I might buy them depending on your review.
Absinthe looks like such a gorgeous, go-to travel palette. Maybe one day when I have the courage to spend that much on only 6 shadows.

Both look beautiful, but I especially like Absinthe. I’m a sucker for gorgeous greens.

Had Absinthe been all green I might have been interested…
Love both, but I probably will wait for the Muse sale in August…
