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

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 @Anonymous 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! 

[veronika23]

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. 

[Mochapj]

@lipstick4soul having participated in the previous releases, I can wholeheartedly agree that they have way better communication and procedures in place than most other 'indie' brands I've seen.

I am actually shuddering to think how the launch of this is going to roll out on Sephora...

[lipstick4soul]

Hopefully I can get mine directly and ignore it 🙂

I was interested in the first couple of releases but never really followed that closely but I am a total junkie when it comes to highlighters. My username should be magpie 😉

[Libellules]

I ❤️ you @lipstick4soul.

I agree though. I appreciate concrete dates and times, with solid (free) notice. I've developed an obsession with Kylie's products this past week or so (I know, I know! #secretshame), and while I appreciate that her marketing is different, to say the least, and that concrete dates and times are provided, they aren't ever provided by the same method at any point in time. There was a restock last week that was announced via her app, which carries a $2.99 subscription fee. The last one I'd seen was explicitly stated on IG.

But again - concrete dates and times are appreciated.

I'm not on your guys makeup experience level but I've loved these since the second I saw them. I'm so tortured by which one to buy. I love them both so I guess I might end up getting them both.Since you all are more knowledgeable about these things then I, I  I was wondering if you had any thoughts or input about one over the other.

Has anyone purchased off the website before. I usually get an account set up beforehand but I can't find an area to do that. Or do they take PayPal?
