Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).
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!

YAAAY i ordered the smokey eyes palette and the coral lips palette. both look reaaaaaaaally nice — i’m especially excited about Soft Talk in the lip palette!!
The coral lips palette is so pretty, I hate myself for caving, LOL.
Thanks for the swatches Christine.
No problem, Laura!
If it wasn’t in pallet form, I’d be all over Transparent Love and Soft Talk. As it is, I KNOW the poor thing would waste away in a forgotten drawer. Just not into lip pallets.
Yes, yes. I know. God, I really want that mauvey lipstick… Insinuate? Sigh.
Thank you for the swatches. I’m in doubt if I buy the cool ou smoky palette. Both are beautiful!!
No problem! The cool one is gorg, those purples are tempting!
I ordered the Warm Palette mainly for that deep green e/s. I like!
I think you’ll love it, Milan!
they are all pretty, but I don’t know if I’ll end up purchasing any. How close is the deep green in the warm palette to femme noir?
No, it’s greener, not so olive-y. Better texture, too!
I just got back from my counter! Got the Cool Eyes palette with the pinks and purples. Love it! I also bought Soft & Gentle MSF. Beauuutiful!
Lovely! The cool eyes is so tempting.
thanks for the swatches! I really wanna get the warm eyes palette!
I like the warm eyes palette 🙂 I hope to do a look tomorrow!
I definitely need the 2nd set of swatches!
Nice pick 🙂
I’m trying had to resist that Cool Eyes Palette! Would you say the pinks in the lip palette are pretty run-of-the-mill? Thanks, Christine!
Yeah, the pinks in the palette are run of the mill. They’re also sheer!
