Again with the white/silver in the inner corner of the eye

[mrsbaine]

There are tons of video's now that Pat did. I think it's some sort of silvery highlighter too.

[Anewxa]

Looks pretty I wonder if it will be loose pigment like the gold from 004..will be interesting to see what the kit will come with.

[fatimamummy]

I think it is some kind of highlighter because inner eye corner seems to be the focus of look in her promo clips.

[veronika23]

Yeah that's what we were saying yesterday @fatimamummy 🙂  Maybe a silver pigment?

[fatimamummy]

Oops I didn't read the previous comments 🙈 @veronika23 . I agree, it looks like silvery kind of pigment. 

[veronika23]

No worries @fatimamummy 🙂 I hope it's that! Be nice if she released a new pigment and all her previous ones as well at the same time 🙂

[Mochapj]

Something 005 is coming

[veronika23]

Same highlight in the inside corner of the eye + something is coming 005

[veronika23]

OMG!!!! @niki172 are we getting our holiday wish???  Thanks @Mochapj

Silver pigment????

ETA: She tagged ABH in her comments???

[niki172]

Yay silver pigment @veronika23!! That would be awesome. As my holiday list keeps getting paired down I'd be more than happy to add this to the list. Just think of what you can do with it and the lip kits?!?!?!?!

[veronika23]

@niki172 I don't know if it's a silver pigment...  it just the picture above (video on IG) seems the focus is on the highlight in the inside corner of the eye... which appears to be silver in color... so that's my guess 😄  Very curious to find out what it will be... and why she tagged ABH.

[niki172]

I watched the IG video and it looks like they put some of it above her cupid's bow as well. ABH has a silver metallic eyeliner out that could maybe be a dupe?? Excited to see what it is! 

[veronika23]

@niki172 I noticed that as well about the cupid's bow. I just thought it was odd that one makeup brand tags another... maybe nothing to it... maybe collab? who knows. 😄 

But looks like we might get something for the holidays???

Tried out an ombre lip with the Flesh kit. The two shades are perfectly complementary for ombre. 

[ChristalM]

I just tried out my first lipstick today. My thoughts:

I got two of the Venon lipsticks. The formula is amazing OMG love BUT the packaging leaves a lot to be desired. I understand the masses may not be the target audience for these and it is a MUA line but something that don't look like it is going to fall apart in 10 uses would be nice.

I won't be ordering anything from this line again even though the product quality is wonderful. 

[mrsbaine]

That's an interesting perspective. I'm a lover of luxury packaging, but I'm more so a lover of quality and luxury products. If the product inside is amazing, I'm willing to overlook the packaging. Pat McGrath puts out amazing products, as you said. Thus far, I haven't been disappointed by anything. The packaging is basic, but I haven't found it 'cheap' or flimsy.

[sabinad]

I agree @mrsbaine . Pat McGrath stated that she anted to put as much cost into the product, vice the packaging, as possible. It doesn't seem cheap or flimsy to me either. just plain. which actually isn't too bad since I have a ton of products I bought just for the packaging which I rarely use!

[lachaton]

I wish the glitter/pigment were more secure in their pots, but that was my only issue. 

The packaging isn't luxe, no, but I don't think Pat McGrath was going for luxury in that sense - I don't mind an all black tube, and I think it actually fits the "lab" idea quite well. 

I feel the same way about Viseart, though. It doesn't have the packaging of Guerlain or TF, but it's an excellent product in functional packaging. 

[ChristalM]

Oh I agree that I don't need luxury and wasn't expecting it but I also need to be able to throw the lipstick in my purse and not worry about the cap coming off. The first one I tried do not close well at all. That to be is not good. 

[lachaton]

Ah, I agree that defective packaging isn't good. I'm easily annoyed by lids that don't stay on lipstick tubes. I haven't experienced anything like that with my Lust 004 tubes, so I don't believe it's a widespread problem. I don't think MUA would be very happy to buy a product that works well where the packaging is defective. Maybe it's worth returning and trying a new one?
