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

Is Sephora possibly doing $25 off 75 or some $ off this year? That would be so nice of them. Did they do one last year for US? I never got one ☹️ and thought they stopped it. I noticed ever since I changed my email, I get emails to my old email but it’s never important stuff like vib sale code and yet my new email gets random stuff, shipping info and is missing important promo stuff ☹️ and my account is definitely in good standing.

@yuline I’m hoping they will do that again this year. Last year we did have $25 off of $75. But the previous years was $25 off of $50. 

[gonerogue]

@blackkitty2014  Oooh thanks for reminding me they do that deal towards December! Now I’m just crossing my fingers we are right and it does eventually end up at Sephora 😬🤞🏻

[sonnydee]

I fell for the whole "only at PM direct" for that quad & then it showed up at Sephora. I admit, i was a little miffed but I started ordering straight from pat direct because of the amount of disregard that sometimes happens during the packing/shipping of these expensive palettes. i simply got tired of broken shadows/boxes (I may be weird but i keep the boxes to my palettes.) So i say go for it, order it straight. Less FOMO & not to mention the games🙁....@gonerogue

[KNC24]

@sonnydee plus you don’t have worry about pm running out of stock. When the stock ran out it can increase Gino and pressure to buy right now.

[gonerogue]

@sonnydee same! I fell for the whole “exclusive” deal when it came to the quads and then regretted it because I could have gotten my quads from Sephora instead and gotten the points. When I saw that it was sold out on direct, I got some FOMO but that’s all gone now. I’m very hopeful for it to come to Sephora as I can see it being a very popular product and it will be a loss for them to not let Sephora sell it. I will have my wallet ready the day it happens! 🤓

[KNC24]

@gonerogue I got it today in case it doesn’t come to Sephora. Plus I don’t think there will be another sale for the rest of the year. Sephora removed the holiday quads off the site temporarily. The rose one came back but don’t know for how long. To iffy for me.

[KNC24]

@fiercestpoodle 😱😱😱😨. I didn’t know it sold out on pm site!!! I just posted to go to her site because she won’t sell out. 😡😡😡😡. Her site has never sold out that fast for a palette. I know the kits in the early days did but not the palette. I don’t like this. I bought the palette during the early release and the holiday quad that is has the brown and red colors in it. The holiday quad is no longer on Sephora’s website. I finally opened one of pm big palettes while on vacation to Disney and fell hard for pm. It’s the one with hot pink packaging. I don’t know names ladies. The purple in there was stunning. It made want all her palettes. I hear lapis luxury is coming back. I hope this last release isn’t how she’s gonna do the it if she rereleases.

[fiercestpoodle]

@KNC24 Same. I also bought it from PMG direct right at 9am. I do think it will eventually show up at Sephora, but I am tired of poorly packaged Sephora orders and don't feel like playing the waiting game. I was honestly surprised to see that it sold out on PMG. I still can't figure out if this is a poorly done marketing ploy, or if it truly is limited quantity. Either way, PMG is risking pissing off a lot of people - whether it is us, the early-purchasers who could have waited it out, or those that don't have the disposable income/disposable time to just drop $125 on a palette at her whim.

I could have attempted to get the "free" palette in NYC, and I use quotes around free, because the time spent waiting in line to *maybe* get a free palette was not worth it for me. To hear that some people were turned away empty handed is very disappointing, yet expected. Baffling.

[gonerogue]

@KNC24  Great reasoning. I was really torn this morning but as the day progressed, I realized it will come back in stock eventually on direct and the possibility of it coming to Sephora is still there so I decided to just wait it out.

[SportyGirly125]

@gonerogue I was thinking the same thing but there was a bunch of us who bought it at 6 am pst  

[gonerogue]

@SportyGirly125  I was definitely up when it launched but my main issue was deciding to get it direct or wait for it to potentially get to Sephora (can you tell I’m a point hoarder?) 🙈 after what happened to the holiday quads, I told myself to ignore “exclusive” when PMG uses the verbiage.

[SportyGirly125]

@gonerogue I think the reasons why people were buying it was because of broken palettes from Sephora and what if it really is a PMG exclusive. The FOMO was real this morning. 

[gonerogue]

@SportyGirly125  Makes sense. I would hate to get a broken $125 sold out palette. Now I play the waiting game 🤷🏼‍♀️

[danielledanielle]

You're not alone @gonerogue , I did log on and was ready, but didn't really wanna pull the trigger.  Of course, I changed my mind, and it's OOS.  I guess I am hoping it comes to Sephora.

[SportyGirly125]

@danielledanielle @There was an email that went out this morning that asked if you wanted to see Divine Rose restocked on the PMG website. 

[danielledanielle]

I did see the email, but the text field to enter my email wasn't working on my phone, so I gave up, lol.  I eventually signed up, but I'm probably going to get it (if/when) it comes to Sephora,  but thank you.

[sonnydee]

This was my first order with Selfridges, so I was curious about the packaging (a lil worried😳) but not bad! I thought about passing on this one, but im glad I didn't! So creamy! Everyones been really good about swatching but these are 4 I was really looking forward to...from pinkie..lovelace,rose dusk,vr rose Venus & refined gold 002

[curlychiquita]

@sonnydee, your swatches are beautiful! PMG shadows catch light so beautifully!

[AJLClough]

So I was looking around on Ebay and look at this craziness I stumbled across... People are selling their palettes and they dont even have them in hand yet!!!

[AJLClough]

Oh that's STUNNING!!!! I had my alarm set and got my code 1st thing Friday morning and placed my order at 9:05am!!! Now I cant wait to receive notification that it shipped! I also just days before that order the rose Astral Blitz Quad too lol This will be my first Mothership Palette though and I'm so super pumped for that!
