Oooh, face palette? Lippie? Nail Polish?

[tjffc]

@Mochapj Can't wait to see.  I am loving everything I've purchased from this brand.  

[hersheykisseslv]

Midnight Sun is on sale for $100 on the PM site. The 20% off code also works on the palette, bringing the price down to $80. If you have been wanting to purchase this palette, there is no better time!

[tjffc]

@hersheykisseslv Thank you so much for the update.  I love her palettes.  I love the 20% off.

[taketheroses]

thank you so much! I’ve slowly been collecting all her palettes so it’s nice to get this one for such a good price. so glad I checked this thread 💞

[sonnydee]

@WinglessOne Thank you.

[biljanaB]

thanks so much for sharing that! I'd been patiently waiting to buy Midnight Sun but wasn't expecting to get such a deal on it. Now, patiently waiting for it to ship...can't wait to play with it.

[WinglessOne]

@biljanaB  I hope you enjoy Midnight Sun when it arrives! Of the 7 Motherships I own, it's tied with Subliminal as my 2nd favorite. 🖤

If you have PAT McGRATH LABS Blitz Astral Quad Eyeshadow Palette Nocturnal Nirvana  and you combine it with Midnight Sun, you'll have a full rainbow to play with. And you can layer shades to create new colors. 

[biljanaB]

@WinglessOne 

ooh, thanks, that is great to hear! I have only one of the Astral Blitz quads and it is the Nocturnal Nirvana quad 🙂

Which is your absolute favourite of your Motherships?

[WinglessOne]

@biljanaB  My favorite Mothership is IV Decadence. So many gorgeous jewel toned metallics! I'm so confident I'll pan that palette, I bought a second one as backup. 

I haven't played much with VIII Divine Rose II yet (my eyes have been in cranky allergies mode lately), so I can't fairly rank it against my other Motherships yet. But I can rank the other 6: 

1. IV Decadence - all the pretty jewels! 
2. TIE: VI Midnight Sun and I Subliminal - some folks say both these palettes are too restricting and you can't get many looks out of either of them, but I strongly disagree. Eh, it's all about how different folks use these shadows. Some also say both palettes have disjointed color stories but, again, I disagree. I say Subliminal is one of Pat's most cohesive palettes. 
3. III Subversive - the second to last Mothership I bought (last was VIII) because I kept telling myself "nope, you don't need another purple palette, not with those 2 big purple Natasha Denonas... don't you dare buy Subversive... don't do it!" 🤣(I'm totally glad I did it.) 
4. II Sublime - took me a while to warm up to this palette. Blitz Emerald is amazing, but I had to experiment a lot with the 9 supporting shades before truly falling for the whole color story. 
5. V Bronze Seduction - I like it but, eh, it's too safe for me. If Blitz Flame and VR Fire Opal were available as singles (in the Blitz and VR formulas, not an EYEdols metallic formula), I'd have bought those and skipped this palette. 

I don't own VII Divine Rose because 1) I already have nearly all the curated shades in that palette and 2) pulled together as a color story, the palette doesn't excite me at all. 

The 3 Blitz Astral quads seem to work as extensions of 3 Motherships: Nocturnal Nirvana + Midnight Sun, Ritualistic Rose + Divine Rose (also Divine Rose II now, I suppose), and Iconic Illumination + Bronze Seduction. I have Nocturnal Nirvana and Ritualistic Rose. They're also fun extensions for some of the 6-pan MTHRSHP palettes. I hope Pat plans to release more quads this year; I love that concept, and they're a great way for folks to get her "special" formulas without paying full Mothership prices. 

[tjffc]

@WinglessOne This is a great overview of the Mothership Palettes.  I recently purchased two (Divine Rose II and Bronze Seduction) and am eyeing Subversive. So glad you liked it and will probably order today.  I am new to using this line and am extremely impressed thus far. In addition, I've ordered a few lip colors, the new mascara, and foundation.  It is fantastic that the BIC shares candidly regarding their experiences with the specific brands.  

[biljanaB]

Thanks for sharing, @WinglessOne !! Also, I hope that your allergies pass soon! 

I have Decadence but haven't yet played with it. I am in the "pull it out and admire it" stage. (Does everyone do this? Or maybe it's because I am new to collecting the Motherships.)

So far, III Subversive is my favourite Mothership (of the 3 that I have used, including Subversive, Bronze Seduction, and Divine Rose II). I find that Subversive and Divine Rose II fit me best and I love their colour stories.

I did not fall in love with Bronze Seduction, which surprised me as it seems that so many love that one. I'm glad to see that you rated it lower, I am not the only one!

You've inspired me, I need to play with Decadence!

Thanks ladies for the tip about the 20% off and the lip fetish balms being on sale. I had my eye on Astral Blue Star but mainly wanted it for it's packaging so to be able to pick it up for $15 made it worth it in my eyes. Also got another Flesh 3 as it's such a pretty color and these are great especially during the wintertime. Hopefully somewhere in the future we'll be able to showcase lipstick again as all it does now is mess up the interior of my mask. I've thought about wearing my lippies around the house, but doing so just to vacuum the house seems a bit excessive :P.

[WinglessOne]

@niki172  Heh, I've been wearing lipstick indoors because it kills me to see all the pretty things I can't wear beneath my masks when I'm out and about. I mean I could wear them under my mask but they'd just make a mess, so I don't bother. 300+ lipsticks in my collection and I can't wear them away from home! 😭Anyway, I say wear that lipstick while you vacuum! 

[SurprisedLemur]

Dang! I just purchased Love Supreme yesterday and couldn't find any codes. Now I feel like I need to get another one with the discount 😛 Hmm... maybe Dark Devotion or Wild Cherry? Decisions decisions...

[blackkitty2014]

Thx @WinglessOne . Tempting on the mascara but I will wait for more reviews. However I love her balms so much that I couldn’t help but use the extra 20perc off to get more colors (which I have most of them now). Shocking right? 😂🤣

[teufel]

I love the Lip Fetish Balms. Sucks that they are being discontinued. May have to pick up a few more

[WinglessOne]

@blackkitty2014  The Lip Fetish balms are fantastic! And hey, you might as well get an extra 20% off, right? I was very tempted to buy some backups of the shades I wear most often. I'm proud of myself for resisting. 🤣 

Had the OpuLUST glosses been restocked today, I've have bought a few shades. Probably a good thing (for my wallet) they're still OOS! 

[tjffc]

@WinglessOne Oh my goodness.  I just ordered my first lip products from this line.  I can't wait to received it!  Your recommendations and reviews of products have been spot-on for me!.  Thank you!
