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

took a few times. Seems they were avoiding the question.  They just replied.

[PaletteAddict99]

Great to know! Thank you @veronika23 so much for your persistence!!!  🙂

[Libellules]

I'm aiming to buy one. The limit 1 per customer scares me. I'm afraid if I order 2 on the same order, it will get cancelled. And I'm worried if I place 2 orders it will get cancelled.

[frametheface]

Same here! I ... would like to get both colors out of pure curiousity (and I have no highlighters so there's zero product overlap) but I'm concerned about the limit. I'll probably buy nude today and then get gold from Sephora's release. If they're anticipating a site-wide release (not just Rouge/VIB) I'm hoping it means they have some form of fairly substantial inventory and it won't be the peach/mirror debacle all over again. If nothing else, I can pretty shamelessly trawl all night sunday and into Monday. Hopefully it works out.

[Libellules]

Yes, me too! Unfortunately, I can't trawl all night because I definitely have work Monday lol. But I can probably wake up early enough to catch it :P.

I, too, am hopeful about them having enough stock with the multiple releases :).

[TriesToBoClassy]

I am not sure either.. I would like to wait for Sephora (they should be confident that they will have ample stock if they are also going to release it on 5/10 to the general public..right..?) because i can get it cheaper and with promos, but i am worried the Sephora release will be a nightmare / sold out in a flash. Maybe that I will get Nude here, then maybe Gold with the Sephora release..? I really don't know 😞

[Libellules]

I'm worried Sephora is going to release it at 4am with e-mails not going out until 10 am.

Or they'll release it at 1pm after everyone stayed up checking for it. No thank.

[michelleshops]

I'm in the same boat!  I want to buy them both but I don't know if I should.  I really just want the pigments.  

[AnneMCC]

I can't decide which color to get either. I actually just want the wand-I may end up trading the pigment!

[michelleshops]

Let me know if you want to go halvesies @AnneMCC!  In a perfect world I'll get both colors but I don't need both sets.  I'll probably end up ordering  both because I'm what they call a "sucker".  

[AnneMCC]

@michelleshops ok I think that's a good idea! I'm same, I want both colors...I've been obsessed with wet look cream highlighters lately so that's why I want the stick..let's message each other

[veronika23]

I'm in the same boat as michelleshops.  I just want the pigment and want both colors.  I only have 2 shots at getting this... 11am and 12pm from her site.  At least you guys have Sephora to fall back on.  I think 25 000 were made... not sure if that helps making a decision lol

[AnneMCC]

Ooh I didn't know they were that super limited. Oh by the way, I emailed and got a response back Pat McGrath says we can buy both colors! 1 of each. So tough to decide which one

[sabrinas]

Ohh I didn't realize this was releasing today! I may want the nude set if I can **bleep** it up!

Lol that bleeped out word is another word for grab, I didn't think it was considered a bad word on here 😛

[veronika23]

no worries! Sometimes BT is weird that way and bleeps words that shouldn't be bleeped! 😄

[veronika23]

I got a reply for shipping to Canada!

Yes we do ship to Canada via FedEx International and there is a flat $25 rate.

[Mochapj]

@veronika23 that's in the FAQ on their website 😉

[veronika23]

@Mochapj Thanks. I had a few questions and that's the only one they replied so I posted here

[leopardprint]

To @frametheface here are my swatches of the copper pigment. This looks almost red in pan. But in different lights, on diffent skin tones, and w/diff mixing mediums, you can see brown, gold glints, true copper, and a beautiful iridescence. 

I was a little bummed because it pulls red on my eyes as shadow. But I'll just need to find that magic application for it. 

Argh, I'm on my iPad and it keeps eating my replies so I might need to PM you if this doesn't work!

These were taken from an IG video

[lipstick4soul]

Assuming launch goes as planned tomorrow, I have to say that others could take a lesson from how they are managing the launch. I signed up for "early access" and the messaging was timely and clear with excellent expectation setting of how much would be available. 

I am sure that there will be complaints from people that cant or won't read/understand the messaging or dont understand a niche/high end product but it refreshing to see a ton of buzz, great marketing and also clear expectation setting.
