Those swatch photos look…less than legitimate
Agreed. They’re Sephora-style swatches which never actually show true colors/formulas well. I hate all the swatches Sephora uses (and seems to demand of their brands) on their website.
It’s like brands aren’t even bothering anymore. Just Photoshop some colors on some arms and call it a day.
Agreed, swatches are most definitely suspect.
I was really interested in the Rust palette but this one might be even better!! Not a huge fan of the imagery but the color story is perfect for me.
I’m interested in the gel liner , i’ve ordered the mustard one already 🙂
why do brands insist on these fake AF swatches? ugh
I am so fucking excited for this and I don’t even smoke weed (or consume it in any way at all). I just fucking love Melt and what they do, the inspiration, the imagery, the products….Today I am full on wearing the Smoke Sessions palette and cant wait until this new collection goes live.
Those swatches are absolutely ridicoulous. Why these heavy edited, obviously faked and photoshopped colours? They don’t need it, they produce quite good pigmented shades!
Weed, weed, weed. Beautiful palette, no thanks. That olive eyeliner, however. <3 And yes, just terrible swatches/photoshop, I keep thinking brands will get better with that, but nope.
I’d probably be excited about the palette if I didn’t already have Gemini.
I do want the Wallflower gel liner if it’s good, though. I love me some olive greens.
This seems just to yellow heavy for me, or at least for my skintone. If it had a shimmery green and less yellow I would be very interested in it.
4:20, As in the time to meet after school, and toke up a buncha weed? Melt is headlong into the marijuana imagery. They can even launch it on 4/20. UD level subtle. And a Lauren is totally right about the photoshopped swatches. I assume it’s a pot liner, no pun intended…
not the same Lauren (though she’s right about the swatches) but “a Lauren” made me laugh out loud.
Idk why my autocorrect puts an ‘a’ before stuff, and I don’t notice. I think I had an ‘a gold’ instead of plain old gold today. Stupida!
I thought it was intentional! Still made me laugh 😀
You know they’ve been doing this for years, right? The Haze stack was the first one I remember them really nodding to weed with, but maybe there were others before that?
It’s one of their things and not meant to be subtle at all…..obviously.
Yup. It’s like their trademark. But I still want to know pot liner or pencil? Both can be gel. I got the mustard pencil & it’s great. My pot liner skills need vast improvement.
I wish the swatches were legit and not photoshopped!
Love these colors. Looks like only one shimmer? Maybe there’s more I can’t detect…excited to read Christine’s review to find out more! That green eyeliner…yes. Just goes to show there are are new colors for new purposes under the sun.
The palette is gorgeous and I’m in love with that green eyeliner!
I’m just waiting (not so) patiently for my password… Unfortunately, they’re just selling the “bundle” today (and a few different t-shirts), and while I want the palette & both liners, I’m not exactly thrilled to be getting a pipe with it… I don’t have an issue with pot, the people who indulge, or even the imagery, but I’m not too thrilled about having drug paraphernalia shipped to me with my makeup order…
you can probably resell the pipe later for a markup to someone who couldn’t get it and would want it!
lol those swatches. If they’re going to look exactly the same on every skin tone, why even bother having multiple skin tones?
Wow…the promo photo looks like each shadow pan has embossed cannabis leaf. *shakes head* It’s a lark but it’ll get old fast–I’m not going to want that in my vanity drawer for years. Too bad, the color scheme seems nice.
I think it’s a cluster with seeds. Smoke sessions had a single leaf. Can’t really see it. Next, they’ll be putting CBD oil in their formula… It doesn’t bother me personally, but, as in other retail endeavors, I don’t think it makes sense to identify your product with something that can alienate part of your target market.
The cannabis industry is booming and growing, so it’s a smart marketing move to cater to a growing demographic. More and more people are appreciating what cannabis has to offer every day.
Just no. Not my colors.
The brand’s obession with cannabis is wearing thin with me….besides I think this palette is comprised of shades seen between the Smoke Sessions, Rust and Gemini palettes. The heavily edited swatches don’t appeal either.
Ditto!
I am piqued, but I am afraid that the shades are kinda covered in the Juvia’s palettes I got during Ulta’s sale (Tribe and Nomad.)
I’d be curious about the gel liner!
It’s pretty, but seems like a brighter version of Gemini.
I just want to complain that I’m never going to keep their palettes straight if they keep naming them after numbers (yes, I know the significance of this one). Twenty Seven, Four Twenty, what’s next?
I’m not here for this. I do like the colors, but it looks like a mix of the Smoked Sessions and UD’s Naked Honey. I just don’t really need or want these colors. I’m up for greens though, but brown, nah!
