FAQ
When does it launch?
The collection launches June 18th at 9AM PDT. This is not a pre-order. The palettes will be ready to ship.
Is it limited edition? Will it sellout?
It is permanent–as long as it sells well, they will continue to restock it. The number of palettes ordered–that’s packaging!–is more than the brand has had at launch than for any previous launch. I know every collaborator says as much, but I would be truly floored if the palettes sold out.
Will your discount apply?
Yes. Readers can use code TEMPTALIA15 for an additional 15% off individual palettes (making them $34 each) or the bundle of three (making it $85).
Can I mix and match palettes in the trio?
Yes, Sydney Grace confirmed that you can choose the Light version of one palette and Deep version of another for the trio.
Should I get Light or Deep?
For those with lighter skin tones and prefer something closer to standalone, the Light versions likely will be easier to use in that fashion. For those who already have a slew of transition and blending shades and are happy to pull them out alongside a palette, the Deep versions are slightly more unique.
Light versions were tested on dark skin to get feedback, even though they were developed for light skin tones. Here is that feedback:
- Quintessence: Parallax (Light) is too light for dark skin and will leave a white cast. Reaching Zenith (Light) may work on deep skin tones if one likes cooler tones; it is on the “bubble” so-to-speak.
- On the Horizon: October Odyssey (Light) works on dark skin tones (one of the tester’s favorites!). Infinite Echoes (Light) is cool-toned and can look a little gray/ashy.
- Radiant Reflection: Unstoppable Love (Light) will work on dark skin tones. Dearest Constant (Light) may work as a blending shade on dark skin.
Will shades in the palette be available as singles?
There are no plans to offer them as singles. I imagine if the launch is successful, it is something I could certainly inquire about. The only single is Dear Reader, which is not available in the palettes.
Where do I purchase your palettes?
Sydney Grace is the sole distributor.
What will it cost to ship?
For US addresses, they ship flat rate at $4.
For non-US addresses, shipping will range from $27 to $32 for up to three palettes; the total weight of three palettes is under the next pricing tier but this is basically level one for shipping packages internationally. All packages ship USPS; international customers can request an alternative carrier but the cost will likely be higher as a result. Sydney Grace ships to most countries (excluding China due to animal testing requirements and any COVID-19 restricted countries). The cost of shipping increases as more products are added, and you can estimate the cost of shipping prior to checking out (for those looking to make a larger order).
Will you have swatches on other skintones?
Yes, palettes are being sent to official swatchers for the launch today or tomorrow (June 7th/8th). As the collaborator, I literally received mine first (shipped Thursday, June 3rd!), so I recruited my husband (who is lighter and pinker) and my sister (who is darker and very olive) while I was swatching on me, but we will have swatches on the following skin tones at launch:
- Very light (Fenty 110) (my husband)
- Light (Fenty 180) (me)
- Medium (Fenty 230) (coming soon, will be by Sabrina @ The Beauty Look Book)
- Medium-Dark (Fenty 345) (my sister)
- Dark (Fenty 430) (coming soon, will be by Day @ Legally Black Beauty, who also tested shades for suitability on deeper skin tones during development!)
Hurray!!! So excited and these look beautiful!
Thanks a lot, Charlie!
Ahh Christine these are all such lovely & colorful palettes! I’m so excited you’re collabing with SG because I know the quality is going to be out of this world (LOL). Can’t wait to order next week!! 🎉🎉
Thank you so much, Megan!
Congratulations Christine! So happy for you! Will the pans be removable from the palettes?
Yep!
Does on the horizon have the dog on the front? That’s the color story I’m most interested in. The dog would seal the deal for me. I’m glad these aren’t limited edition. I can wait until after summer to purchase. Great job on the colab!
Yes, On the Horizon is the palette with the island and dog silhouette 🙂
This is the most organized launch ever. I am SO excited for it and to be able to support Temptalia! Looking at these beautiful shades, I will be clearing out some of my expired single colorful shadows and looking forward to making some artistic looks à la the Mielke Way!
Thanks a lot, Kira!
WHERE IS THE ❤️ BUTTON?!
These are truly gorgeous! I did not expect less from you and Sydney Grace, but still… I couldn’t stay silent. I love everything about it. The artwork is so beautiful and soulful…
I’m very happy and excited for you, Christine! You so deserved it… Congrats! 😊
You’re too kind, Asli! Thank you!
These are crazy beautiful, Christine! I would like to have all six palettes but I will restrain myself and order only one set, either deep or light, at least for the time being. Congratulations on such a wonderful collaboration!
Thank you, Christina!
Can’t wait! I think you’ve listed on the horizon light twice in this article. Trying to decide weather to buy the dark or light version of quintessence. I’m blonde with brown/hazel eyes with NC15 in winter and NW20 in the summer.
This is fixed!
Everything is stunning! Look at those colors! I have no words! Best wishes for this launch, you made a huge effort to be inclusive!
I hope for you that they will go sold out in few minutes!
Best wishes from Italy
Thank you, Serena!
Wow! These are stunning. Looking forward to ordering one of the palettes.
Thank you, Annaham!
I’m still deep in ohhhing and ahhhing mode but On The Horizon (Deep) is mistitled as On The Horizon (Light) over the gallery swatches in the body of the post. Both versions are marked as Light above the swatches, if that makes sense?
This is fixed but may require you to refresh your browser!
Congratulations Christine! These are beautiful!
Thanks so much, Lauren!
I’m SO excited and hope I can get all three. :o) Love how thorough this post is and all the swatches are beautiful! Congrats, Christine!
Thank you, Sandy!
There is a deep version of every palette! I could literally cry I was excited about this launch but I didn’t expect that.
Aww!! 🙂
I’m not deep, but I’m deep.. hear me? Lol.. I prefer the deeper palettes as I feel the colour story is more unique with the darker matte shades..
I love this.
I am so excited! The palettes are beautiful and the packaging is breathtaking. This exceeded my expectations. Congratulations. Now I just have to wait until I can order my palettes haha.
Oh, I’m happy to hear it!!
omg omg omg !!!
It’s all sooooo beautiful and from the discord I know how much thought was put into every shade!
Can’t wait to own them all!!
Aww, thank you, Cat!
Insanely beautiful!
Happy to hear it! 🙂
Christine, these palettes are GORGEOUS. I can’t wait!!
Thanks, Sarah!
I’m very excited for these! I have enough neutrals and transition shades that I am just gagging for a palette with these deep jewel tones! I can’t wait to see the no doubt amazing look series you’ll be posting after launch to help us with color stories. I may be a little extra at work for awhile with very loud makeup – but these are beautifully rich and I can’t wait!
So glad to hear it, Chelsea! I wanted something that would pair well with all those neutral palettes we all have and love. 🙂
These look great. So glad there are light and deep options.
Happy to hear it, Nichole!
Ahhhhh they’re so beautiful and unique! I can’t wait to get all three. I think I’ll go for the “light” version for all of them since I am pale AF 😉 It will be so exciting to finally have these in my collection after you have shared so much of the development process with us!
The light shades are lovely! Parallax Light is dreamy.
I’m so excited for these shades! Will the palettes be magnetic so I can use them as singles too?
Yes, they are magnetic!
I have never used Sydney Grace products but have heard wonderful things about them. I trust your reviews, Christine, so I am super excited about buying these. I am light-skinned (pale) but I think I’ll have to do the bundle with the darks as I like the dark colors more. (I am kinda into the goth-y look. lol) Very excited about this launch and congratulations to you on your collaboration with SG!
Thank you so much, Asta!
I’m so down with the DEEEEEEEP palettes….
I do think the deep shades are a little more complex if I had to pick a version!
Christine, the fact that you created a Light and Deep version of each palette just reinforces how very YOU this collection is: meticulous, inspiring, and inclusive! I’m very excited to buy your collab!
Thank you, Boo!
These are STUNNING! I love the fact that we have the option of picking between a light and deep version of the colors 🙂
Thank you, Coral! 😀
CONGRATULATIONS!!! They are BEYOND gorgeous! Getting all three and the single!!! <3
Thanks, Christy!
These are freaking amazing and leave me breathless! I’ve been waiting on pins and needles to see how the entire trio played out shade wise. And they were so very worth the wait! Big congrats on your collab with Sydney Grace! I think I speak for most of us when I say that I know that not only was this a dream and vision for you, but for us, too.
I love that you feel like a part of it all, Nancy! <3
This is so exciting and so entirely deserved by you, Christine. As you probably know, I need more eyeshadow like I need a flat tire or the proverbial hole in the head. But both the deep and light versions of On the Horizon are really calling me (the light version is perhaps singing its siren song a little bit louder!). All of these are beautiful – beyond beautiful, in fact – and the quality is bound to be up in the stratosphere, knowing your personal striving for perfection in all you do and Sydney Grace’s quality products. A match made in heaven, for sure!
Haha! Thank you so much, Mariella. If you end up ordering, I will be SO humbled because I know you and online-only shopping!
Humbled? You’ve nothing to feel humble about – you have every reason to be bursting with pride at this collection and at what it says or represents in terms of the work you have done over the past years, from the earliest days of Temptalia up until the present time.
5 more days (not that I’m counting). Christine, does the Temptalia15 code apply only to purchasing all the palettes in a bundle or can it be used on individual palettes?
Hi Mariella!
Happy Sunday 🙂 The TEMPTALIA15 code works on everything on their site in general, so 15% off singles, palettes, one palette, any combo, and anything else they sell.
Good to know because if the lighter On the Horizon palette is available when I can get online and set things up, I am absolutely going to order it….losing my “online shopping virginity” and I know it will be worth it!
omg! 😅 Thank you, Mariella!!
Dang, On the Horizon is just perfect. Great collab.
Thanks, Lune!
These are so beautiful! Quintessence Light is my perfect palatte. And Parllax (Light) is the color I’ve been searching for for years. Oh, definitely adding this to my calendar.
Hope you love it! 🙂
First of all, congratulations! SO much prettiness! Second, I appreciate the efforts to get swatches on different skintones, also, something about you working with the beautylookbook sent me into such a hard throwback. You guys are such OGs.
Sabrina is amazing! She has such a great sense of composition for photos.
This is beautiful beyond words and worlds!
Thanks a lot, Agata!
I can’t wait for this! Sydney Grace quality, the price is so reasonable, a different light/dark version for each palette, and permanent? I think this is the first collab I really need to get!
Woohoo! Thank you for the support, Kat!
Can’t believe it’s almost here! Looking forward to it! I can’t help myself even though it goes against the comment policy: will you be reviewing this collection? 😛
Finally!!
Haha, no ratings, since I can’t imagine anyone would take me seriously!
They are so beautiful I may just order these. I have not ordered from Sydney Grace before because of the high shipping costs to Canada. But I might just have to break my personal rule for these.
Totally get that, Stephanie! I wanted to make sure I had some info on shipping costs upfront so it wouldn’t be a total surprise at checkout.
Wow I was just thinking yesterday wondering where an update was and here it is! Radiant Reflection (deep) is gorgeous 😍😍😊
I know! Finally we’re here!
Christine, I am so proud of you. These are all exquisite, inside and out. You perfectly hit the balance between sophisticated, yet colorful; fun yet practical. I’m impressed even beyond what I had anticipated. Congratulations, and a huge thanks to you, the Temptalia team, and Sydney Grace for all the hard work.
I’ll be buying a trio bundle and the Dear Reader single first thing on the 18th.
Thank you so much, Rachel! I hope you love the palettes.
My heart feels so full for you, Christine. These palettes are beautiful and I am already inspired and envisioning the types of looks I will create with them. Initially I was thinking that I may mix and match the Light and Deep versions but I really love the depth in all the Deep versions. It would be totally unique in my collection!
Aww, thank you, Cynthia!
These are pretty intense and unique for sure. Congrats! Once upon a time I believed my palettes needed to be complete for some reason (I blame lazy marketing that wanted to cop out and have a pinky brown “transition” shade in every palette to limit the thought required for releases), but now? I’m as fair as they come and I’m all over those deep palettes. Well done.
Thank you, Z! I definitely think we should be thinking about pairing palettes or curating a selection of go-to singles that work in tandem with palettes for things like skin-toned transition/blending/crease shades.
This collection is so gorgeous, Christine! A fantastic example of what a *good* collab should be. I’ve been trying to slow down on my eyeshadow purchases (still living that quarantine life), but these are a must buy, IMO. Especially since I already know I love Sydney Grace products!
Thank you so much, Katie! 🙂 SG fans unite!
Congratulations! Everything about this collection is exquisite. I’m so excited to be able to support you and Sydney Grace with my purchase. It’s a match made in heaven in terms of quality, integrity, and thoughtfulness.
Thank you so much, Jessica! Hope you love your palette(s).
Oh Christine – they look FABULOUS! It’s going to be a diffucult task to decide which ones to get – I like all of them! But I think On the Horizon Light is the one that suits me best. They are stunning!
It is tough to pick a favorite! Thank you, Genevieve!
I wish this was available for pre order. I am DYING with anticipation for launch day.
Aww!! We discussed a pre-order, but the issue is either they have already put in an order for packaging (which is what takes the longest… like 1-3 months) or then the wait time is reallyyyy long! They tried to order more packaging than possible to sell out so that if it does sell through, they can start filling more palettes while ordering another round of empty packaging!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s SO GREAT to see the colors all together in their respective palettes! If I didn’t have bad knees I’d be jumping for joy! I hope the SG site doesn’t crash when we all rush over there to buy on June 18!
LOL!
I hope we have plenty of stock! I think we do 🙂 Thank you, Mina!
Wow Christine! These swatches are amazing!
Thanks, Bonnie!
Wow Christine …!
Congratulations the swatches look amazing …
I love “On the Horizon “ Deep…
Thanks a lot, Mary!
Screaming! These are so beautiful! Quintessence is calling to me especially though. Love those cooler jewel tones.
Thanks a lot, Raja!
This is the equivalent of winning the lottery! Thanks Christine just what we need to bring us out if the pandemic – beautiful colors!
It really is! Thanks, Brenda!
So excited for these… I’m going wait online at launch hour to get all 3 light palettes! Really hope they don’t sell out in the few minutes it takes for the website to process my order. On the other hand, I hope for Christine the sales will exceed expectations!
Fingers crossed! We really tried to plan for more than expected to sell initially. Like the hope is to have stock for awhile!
Can’t wait to get the deep versions of the trio – the color stories look lovely. I’ve been on a strict no buy for eyeshadow while patiently waiting for this release. Thank you for all your hard work Christine! 🙂
Thank you for your patience, Lacey! 😀
Congratulations 👏🏼 🎈
The colors are beautiful
Thanks, Dua! 🙂
Wow Christine! 😍 You did such an amazing job with these. The amount of work you must have put into this is just… I’m in awe. Congratulations to you and Sydney Grace! This has to be the best thought out collab I’ve ever seen.
Thank you so much, Saara! 🙂
So exciting! The name Magellan’s Light brings a tear to my eye.
Ugly cried initially when I realized these would be in tribute!
Oh baby, I just got a dog after dreaming of it for decades. I never knew a love like this was possible!! Mashallah. What a fine tribute.
So thrilled that you were able to get your pup, Katie! <3 Truly a special kind of bond!
They look so amazing ! As I live in France I never ordered from SG before, but my wallet is ready for your new collab, then some more !
Thank you, Aurore!
Congratulations, Christine – the palettes and swatches look amazing. I worry they will sell out instantly, perhaps a preorder on the second printing? 🙏
Also, will you be rating these palettes??
I’m not sure what they’ll do if they really sell that quickly, but based on our estimates, I really feel confident about stock lasting without an issue!
I wasn’t planning on rating them!
You made my dream jewel tone rainbow palette! Good to know I wasn’t the only one wanting a royal rainbow.
Woohoo! We are not alone! 🙂
I’m so happy for you Christine! The palettes are beautiful, each one has my brain conjuring look after look. I’ve totally been in a makeup rut, not buying anything new and bored with what I have, these color stories ignited my imagination again. You just did SO GREAT!!!!
And the tribute to Magellan made me teary. A worthy tribute to a truly good boy.
Oh, wow! Thank you, Bonnie! 🙂
This will be my first purchase for SG. Very Excited for you! Congratulations Christine!
Woohoo! Hope you love their formula!
These colors and palettes are beautiful!!! I want them all. Can’t wait to see them in person. Love SG eyeshadows because of you Christine. Love your website and reviews as well. I always look here for your reviews and swatches on anything I am interested in purchasing and also to see what new brands you have discovered. Best wishes to you on this launch! I have it on my calendar, I am so excited!!!
They have such a lovely formula!
Thank you, Kami! 😀
I’m a day behind, as I didn’t have time yesterday to check my e-mails.
Seeing the swatches makes my mouth water and I long to play with these palettes. I just have to decide if I want the deep or the light versions.
Tough choices 🙂
