All the new shades are limited edition per the brand’s customer service (I called and emailed). The collection is now available online at Ulta (August 5th for stores), and will be online at all other retailers on August 7th (in-stores August 17th).

I think the Norvina palette is beautiful and the star of the collection. The lip glosses, to me, were undwewhelming, with some of the shades being fairly similar to each other.
I completely agree.
I am usually die-hard for ABH, but I do not want anything from the fall line. Super disappointed there are not more real mattes in Norvina.
I’m glad the new shades of the liquid highlighters have an improved formula, although they’re still not a product I’d use.
Despite the glosses not scoring well, they’re still right up my alley. I’m excited to swatch them at work tomorrow! I’ll pick up whichever turns out to be my favorite, since we’ll have an extra 25% off ABH.
I’m always hopeful that the ABH palettes will work for me but, yet again, this one has way too many red toned shadows. I could live quite happily with the full one shimmers – I don’t need a lot of mattes – but the colour selection is not for me. Nothing else in this collection calls to me either – the star of the collection seems to be that purple gloss and that’s not a shade I would wear. The highlighter shades aren’t for me either and the other lip glosses are just “blah” (there are so many drugstore glosses similar for a fraction of the price)
