Neg: Y’all know I love PMG, but I find it aggravating when a brand pulls together a ‘favourites’ palette and then introduces one or two new shades into the fray.
Pos: The idea of a mini palette is a good one and can make a brand more accessible. It may also provide a more compact format for travel.
Finally, a compact, user friendly palette from Pat! However, the swatches look like it’s from a completely different palette to me, so it doesn’t look very enticing.
This is a smart move for an in demand high end brand. Offer highly popular shades in a smaller footprint, or should I say eyeprint? Much like C’s perfume decants, it gives the opportunity to sample the formula, colors, and feel of PML’s products. P can develop a new audience of consumers who do not wish to jump in for full palettes at high prices and would rather dip their toes first. The craziness of many Pat launches and poor CS have alienated even solid fans. The colorways look wearable for all skintones and combine well for a variety of looks. I see this as a good move, as long as the offering does not get swamped.
Hmm the swatches of the shimmery shades look nothing like their pans
These swatches make zero sense, it’s like I’m looking at two different palettes. There are 3 purples in the pan and I only see 1 on the swatch.
This looks like a Too Faced tin palette from the years past. I’m not loving this new packaging format, I think it’s cheapening the brand.
Okay, so as someone who’s never purchased Pat McGrath, this release piques my interest. I like the packaging and price. I’m curious about why the change…unless it’s to attract people like me who hadn’t previously been interested in the brand?
She has done a few mini palettes in the past that got complaints about packaging, especially the “Mini Eye Ecstasy” palette. It seems she’s trying to do different styles of affordable packaging and see what works.
Nice for just the purpose it states, travel (or purse)! I don’t have these colors either, so it may find a way to my doorstep.
Super cute!! I have all these shades from the bigger palettes so I wouldn’t be getting this. The Night Creature shade in the Mothership isn’t the best formula, so hopefully she improves on that for this mini edition. The name Midnight Voyage reminds me of Viseart Mini Voyageur.
Just saw there is one new shade, Bronze Venus! Pretty color!
Yup.. Bronze Venus… much to my consternation… it is pretty and I want it, but like you, have the others in large palette.
Hahaha! My thought process exactly.
Do I dare say this packaging reminded me of the new Essence six pans….
This colorway reminds me of Too Faced PB&J.
This is beautiful but I have all but one of these minus one copper shade that I don’t need. 🙁
Ready for the new Mothership pallet!!!!
That’s great that PMGL is offering a smaller curated palette! And at a very affordable price. I like the color story. It does look like mostly repeats from other palettes, but it will be a great option for people that want to try the brand!
I really do love both the shades within and the travel friendly size. Better than lugging around a few big Mothership palettes!
At this price, it’s a good way for someone to try PMG shadows but for those of us who have the bigger palettes it’s probably an easy pass. My gut reaction – boring.
A small eyeshadow palette with curated shades and a price tag to boot? Yeah, ok, I see you PMG. This isn’t my color story (much like pink, purple is also off the menu), but hell yeah I’m here for curated tiny eyeshadow palettes again!!
Cute colors and the size is great for travel. I will be picking this up.
Easy pass, no colors I wear
Easy pass with only 1 new shade.
Finally a colour story I’m interested in, and I hate the packaging 🙁
Nice palette however with all the motherships and quads I own i will pass.. but again what I really need from Mother Pat is a face palette and Bronzers!!!
The travel friendly 6 pan makes sense – but pulling shades from other palettes does not – particularly for those who already have these shades from past iterations. It would have been nice to see something entirely new.
Pretty…….waiting till Christine does the review!
Yeah to me Eleganza looks nothing like the brand swatch, but it is a nice color story. I really wish that singles had done better because like so many others I have several of these shades already. :/
I think a travel friendly, less expensive palette is really smart. If the quality is there, of course.
“app exclusive”????
It means it’ll be available on that date only through the app, but then it’ll be launched in full later.
Oh! Thanks Christine!!
I have Eleganza (it’s in the Mothership VIII: Divine Rose II palette) and it’s one of my favorite shades, the perfect one and done. It also look NOTHING like the swatch. It is much more pink than brown – I would describe it as a rose gold.
I would definitely recommend searching for Temptalia’s swatches of this shade, much more accurate.
