@ZakiyaBT Of you’ve got the inside scoop on whether or not Sephora will be getting it, I know a ton of beauties who’d die to know for sure! 😁😘

[ZakiyaBT]

Hi @mermadelove, I wish I had some information to share but I have no idea! 

[hersheykisseslv]

I'm thinking of taking a day off to go. It just so happens that tomorrow will be the coldest day of the week and tonight there will be snow fall so we'll see.

[mermadelove]

@hersheykisseslv something tells me that’ll only make it busier! Lol 

[Javadoo]

WTF??? lol

That sucks...I really want(NEED) this palette!

[mermadelove]

@Javadoo  I don’t think it’s the only way to get it. This certainly builds buzz and publicity though! Imagine the frenzy when it finally drops! 

[sonnydee]

Call in sick to work & arrange baby sitting only to have the flight cancelled due to the artic freeze. 😱✈🌨 That would be my luck IF I even tried.....😉😅🥀I'll wait.....thanks for the tag @mermadelove 

[mermadelove]

@sonnydee  😂🤣😂

I SO hear that!

My Ritualistic Rose quad arrived a couple days ago. I haven’t used it on my face yet (I wanted to test the Roen 75º quad first) but the first time I swatched it, I wound up hypnotized by all the pretty sparklies. 😄 Seriously couldn’t stop staring at my arm for 5 minutes. 

Today I did some layering experiments with Astral Rose Orchid for myself and a friend. Neither of us want Divine Rose, but we both love VR Rose Venus—and she’s almost willing to drop Mothership money for a single shadow. 😬 She asked me to talk her off the purchasing ledge. I said “sure, you don’t have a true dupe of that shade, especially not in that formula. But I bet you can get kinda close with your rose quad and Bronze Temptation. And ‘kinda close’ might hold you over until VR Rose Venus shows up in a future release that costs less than $125, right?” 

Here are the swatches I did for her. Individual shadows are on the left, and combos are on the right. 

What happens when you layer Astral Rose Orchid over MTHRSHP duochromes.

None of the combos = VR Rose Venus, but I didn’t expect them to. I just tried for a similar fiery gold to pink shift, using an astra that’s basically the super glittery topper version of that shade. 

[KVeritas]

Tom Ford's Sphinx cream shadow might work as a dupe--lovely fine sparkles, peachy-pink golden shade.  It came out a few years ago, and when I saw VR Rose Venus I immediately thought of it.

[WinglessOne]

@KVeritas  Hmm, I’ll take a look at that one. There’s also a pretty close ColourPop dupe: though it obviously doesn’t feel like Pat’s VR formula, it does look an awful lot like VR Rose Venus. 

[mermadelove]

@WinglessOne  That was you convincing her NOT to buy??? That would have convinced me to buy it! Not that I need any encouragement....😂🤣😂

[WinglessOne]

@mermadelove 🤣 Unlike me, my friend rarely uses her Bronze Temptation 6-pan. (I love that palette.) But now she’s fallen back in love with it, especially for its duochromes, and most especially for Provocatrix. Since she also has the Ritualistic Rose quad, she’ll have fun layering it over various other things in her collection. And nope, she no longer wants to buy Divine Rose just for one shadow—or so she says. Hey, I’m not her keeper, she can do what she wants with her money. But she asked me for help not spending it, so I happily obliged. Plus, I discovered how fun Astral Rose Orchid + Corruption is. 🙂 

[mermadelove]

@WinglessOne  Bronze temptation never called to me. I ordered and am still waiting for Ritualistic Rose. I am hoping Divine Rose eventually comes to Sephora so I can use a Rouge reward to get it!

[WinglessOne]

@mermadelove  Heh, I love Bronze Temptation so much, I intentionality cracked its cardboard spine hard so I could keep the palette from doing that drunk Venus flytrap thing all the MTHRSHPs do. 😂 I was sold on its 2 duochromes and that shimmery minty green. But I understand that palette’s not for everyone. I know someone who hates blue eyeshadows on herself, so she’s not attracted to any palettes that contain them. 🤷‍♀️ 

I hope your quad arrives soon! And it’s great to get any Mothership for just $25 instead of $125. 

[mermadelove]

@WinglessOne  wow you love it that much??? Hmmmmm maybe I should revisit. I LOVE blues...... My quad arrives tomorrow. Yay! Also, I may be getting that palette for $100 instead of $125. I get rewards from work that I can cash in for gift cards and I have enough for a $25 at Sephora right now. I tried again to get the $100 Rouge reward and it had been literally impossible for me this time. I’ve tried 6 different ways six different times and it’s like Thunderdome had a baby with The Hunger Games trying to get that reward!!!! 😤🤬🤯

Very uncivilized. 

[sprocketta]

Anyone heard about this? If it's not glitter, I would be VERY tempted. I haven't been interested in enough in the full color stories of the other palettes. This could be the one! 

[gonerogue]

Really hoping this comes to Sephora so I can just buy it here. PMG shipping always takes the longest 🙄

[danielledanielle]

My first order was okay... but then during the half of sale, forget it. A kit went OOS and I didn't get any info until I contacted them. And then my other kit showed up, but I got the delivery notifications a week later. 🤷
