Since the brand is coming to Sephora. I thought I'd start a thread just for the brand for news and info.

yeah me too!

@PaletteAddict99 it is tough to say - her previous releases (Gold001 and Phantom002) were one choice/kit only releases, so the limit of 1/person meant you couldn't buy multiples of the same kit.

Previously they stated the limit was to discourage resellers.  Skinfetish003 having 2 options is a new scenario.  Perhaps someone who purchased during the re-release of individual Phantom products may know if she allowed the purchase of multiple items at the same time.  

I would just caution you to be prepared tomorrow that you may not be able to buy both.

[PaletteAddict99]

Yes thank you! That is good to be prepared for as I could be trying for both and then end up missing them both :). I really don't need either but they are just so amazing!

[leopardprint]

Oh, and what is your skin tone, do you prefer warm (gold) or cool (silvery) colors?

If you lean warm or have a deeper skin tone, I'd recommend the gold.  If you prefer cool or have a lighter complexion I'd say to get the nude.

I'm a redhead (well, pink-head now) with light skin and I'm going for the nude...if I can get it!

[PaletteAddict99]

I'm sort of light olive completed so I can usually go either warm or cool. I'm leaning towards Golden but ugggh I love both

[leopardprint]

@PaletteAddict99,

I've purchased from the Pat McGrath Labs site (I'm not associated w/the brand, just a super fan, LOL).

They don't allow you to set up an account before hand but the checkout process was painless for me.  Not sure if they take PayPal, sorry.  I used a credit card for my purchase (not debit) just in case anything was compromised.  That way it's easier to cancel your info and protect your bank account.

The shipping was quick and it was all very professional.

[PaletteAddict99]

On these kind of releases I like to have all the info all loaded up into the website so I can just push the pay now button since I am the slowest typist in the world. LOL

[leopardprint]

I was able to get Phantom 003 Copper single pigment.  I can post a pic if anyone is interested?

It came in an AMAZING bag of black/holo sequins that I have hoarded at home.  Planning a MAJOR craft project with those!

The pigment is pretty awesome, I have not even begun to scratch the surface of its capabilities (with different mixing mediums/applications and such).  

It was pretty pricey but the quality is there.

[frametheface]

@leopardprint, it would be awesome if you could! Prior to the highlighters, I had never heard of this brand. I'd be interested to see how some of the other products work/wear. It sounds as if you've had a positive experience with them though, which is reassuring!

[leopardprint]

Hey @frametheface!

Pat McGrath is one of the major names in editorial makeup and she's been a creative consultant to several big brands (Cover Girl, and I believe either Gucci or Dolce & Gabbana).  She has the body of work to back her products!  I am kind of a stan of hers but she is honestly so talented.

Her pigment releases 001 and 002 have sold out in a flash.

I hope this image comes thru okay, I was having a hard time uploading.  I will post more shortly.  And just LMK if you want swatches, I can do that tonight!

[ChristalM]

OMG that is AMAZING!

[frametheface]

Very helpful, @leopardprint! Thank you so much! The photo is super. If it's not too inconvenient, I'd be curious to see swatches. It looks like it would have a really pretty finish on it that I'd be curious to see!

[leopardprint]

Absolutely, I will do my best to get swatches up tonight.  Here is another package pic for anyone who's interested.

[veronika23]

TOMORROW! On her site! Who's getting it?

[Libellules]

I'm so confused - 001 and 002 haven't released yet right?

[Mochapj]

The highlighter is 003 @Libellules

[frametheface]

Oh my goodness I got so confused here too, @Libellules! Apparently what I'm tracking (what Sephora will sell 5/2 to Rouge/VIB & everyone on 5/10) is the 003. Both colors are 003 - that's what threw me. I guess it's going up on her site sometime tomorrow. I'm signed up for email notifications but haven't received anything yet.

edit: Spoke too soon. I just got an email with an early access code to buy it from her site tomorrow, 11am EST.

[veronika23]

@frametheface even though I said I wouldn't purchase (although I want to) I still can't decide and signed up but didn't get an email with early access yet... I signed up like 4 separate times lol

[frametheface]

Oh no, @veronika23! I signed up last night (I'm waffling on where to buy it from - wait for Sephora and hope? or just buy direct?? Indecision!) and got the email about 20 minutes ago.. It seems like it's a generic code - if you'd like, I can message it to you?

(I guess we could confirm with @Libellules to see if it's the same code?)

[Libellules]

Oh no. @veronika23 I signed up and received an e-mail within an hour. Maybe it went to your junk? comes from contact[at]patmcgrath[dot]com

[veronika23]

@frametheface @LibellulesI checked everywhere!!! NO CODE! Boo.  What the heck is going on lol

Finally got the email! 🙂

Still unsure but having such a bad few weeks that I might need retail therapy! lol
