Thx @Mochapj .  Am i the only one who likes the big palettes more than the 6 pan ones? 😉 I'm excited!

[Mochapj]

@blackkitty2014  Nope, I’m the same. I don’t like the smaller ones that don’t have the ‘special’ shades as much ☺️

[Mochapj]

[ZakiyaBT]

I can't wait to see what it is!! 🙂

[Mochapj]

Another coming soon; based on the caption I’d venture to guess it’s the Midnight Sun palette

[sace021]

Is anyone else awaiting shipping that ordered from her site with pre-order for the launch? I have received 3 different emails now promising me only 2-3 more days each time but no explanation. Now I seem to be getting no reply at all. So confused as they usually ship very quickly in my experience!

[Pancake31]

finally received shipping confirmation this morning

[seekingtruth]

Same here!  I ordered the complete set (brushes and all).  I hadn’t received any emails so reached out to customer service and was told the same thing - shipping by end of week.  A little later I did get an email.  One saying the primer is back in stock!  Fabulous!    Many of us haven’t received our orders nearing 2 weeks and they’re pushing the primer.  Disappointing.

[seekingtruth]

@Mochapj, thank you. I can completely understand that. What I don’t get is why they didn’t just say that. A little communication goes a long way...

[Mochapj]

@seekingtruth I read on another forum that the primer had been delayed and that’s why anyone who ordered the entire system had their orders held up because they had no primer to ship

[michelleshops]

Hi @sace021 I ordered on launch day and just got my shipping notice today.  I emailed CS yesterday and they said all orders should be shipped by the end of the week.  Hopefully you get yours soon!!

[Cyncynn]

@michelleshops  I can't wait for you to receive your order ❤️

[shimmerbait]

I received my order on 7/30 and did not receive any sort of shipping notice until I got a text from UPS the day it was out for delivery. Interestingly, I just received a shipping email today from PMGL.

[Pancake31]

I haven't even gotten an update email 😞

But maybe it's because I've emailed customer care twice already about shipping.

[hungryartiste]

I didn't see this anywhere but here's what the Medium 3 setting powder looks like vs the online photo. It skews A LOT more ...warm... in real life. I'm typically Mac NC37/Giorgio Armani Maestro 6/Silk Luminous 6.5/ PM Medium 15 so im on the lower end of her foundation spectrum that's supposed to match with this powder. But damn this won't even work as a bronzer because it's straight up orange on my skin. Here it is with other orange things for comparison.

[PenelopeBT]

I haven't tried the setting powder, but I really love the PMG foundation. I wear 6 in the Giorgio Armani foundation and the shade Light Medium 14 is a great match. Also, I LOVE Ritz Crackers. <333

[WinglessOne]

@hungryartiste  Thank you for sharing this! I’m far more interested in the powder than the foundation (I don’t wear foundation) so seeing this comparison is super helpful. I keep meaning to check the powder shades in person at my PMG-stocked Sephora but somehow I also keep forgetting. How does the powder feel? Is it soft, silky, buttery, gritty, chalky...? 

I generally don’t trust the shades in PMG lipstick product photos. I didn’t expect setting powder photos to have the same problem. 😮 Reminds me of By Terry’s product photos of any powdered product (finishing powder, blush, etc) which are never true to color. 

[makeitup305]

@WinglessOne The biggest peeve I've seen for this powder from reviews besides the shade is the amount of product that you get. It's only 0.17 oz. For comparison's sake, the Laura Mercier Translucent Powder is 1 oz and the Hourglass Veil Translucent is 0.36 oz both for less than the PMG. 

[WinglessOne]

@makeitup305  I’ve heard that, too. I priced out the powder per gram when it first launched, and I’ve wanted to see/feel it in person ever since because it’s quite pricey. At $11 USD per gram, it’s more expensive than my favorite powder, By Terry Hyaluronic Hydra-Powder ($6/g USD). I need only the teensiest tiniest bit of the By Terry powder to set my undereye concealer—such a tiny amount, you’d swear it wasn’t enough to do the job if you saw it on my brush 😂—and I wondered if the PMG powder performs that well, which would mean using far less product per application than other powders. (I have to use more Hourglass Veil than Hydra-Powder to set my concealer. I don’t use the Laura Mercier powder anymore, but I know it’d take more of it than Hourglass Veil to set my concealer.) That’d be the only way I could justify the cost of the PMG powder. 

[hungryartiste]

I bought it online blindly since the Sephora I went to said they wouldnt have the powder for a while. I wasn’t sure to get this color since I’m between a Medium 14 and 15, and figured I’d get the deeper color to add some warmth. I just didn’t expect this kind of warmth. It didn’t go on smoothly for me compared to Hourglass’ setting powder. That doesn’t necessarily mean I wouldn’t recommend it. I’m just saying it didn’t work for me. To be fair, I didn’t try very hard to make it work after seeing the color. On a completely different note, I would probably not get it based on the packaging itself. It is A MESS. I lifted the protective sheet from the dispenser and the powder went flying everywhere like I was living in a snowglobe.

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @hungryartiste  that’s good to know. I’m very familiar with the Hourglass Veil powder so that’s a good reference. 🙂 Looks like the jar has a mesh interior top like the Becca Hydra-Mist powder, and those can indeed be messy depending on how fine the powder is. I usually use By Terry Hyaluronic Hydra-Powder which is so fine, a mesh top would probably cause a huge wispy powder cloud each time I opened the jar. 😄
