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

Me too @curlychiquita 😊

@Luvstravel - Divine Rose II restocks tomorrow at Pat McGrath at 9 AM ET.

[Buootiful]

Oh no 😞 @Luvstravel I would call Sephora and tell them I don't care what they have to do but I want my pkg. They should file a claim to track a lost pkg and retrieve that pkg no matter what. CR needs to make notes that they want this pkg found and delivered to you asap.

This happened to me a few months ago at Neiman  Marcus. Something like: "I want my pgk, I dont want a refund. Please find my pkg! Are you sure it wasn't stolen? Seems to be better business sense to track that pkg down so Sephora doesn't have to issue a refund to me" (I mean I know you used your points but future sales from you are dependent on the outcome of this-so in Sehora's best interest)

It might not work but that is what I did when my pkg was lost at the fedex distribution center in my state. It took 2 weeks but I eventually got my pkg after calling for 3 days in a row asking where my pkg was. It was something that was sold out on extremely low sale price and I was not about to not get it, lol. 🙂

I really hope you do get your pkg but I will be on the lookout for it as well:)

[sonnydee]

oh no! @Luvstravel was it our cursed fedex?!😡

[Luvstravel]

@sonnydee It showed it was supposed to be delivered by mail, but it never left the warehouse!

[Seymore3]

@LuvstravelOh no, that is too bad.I'll let you know if I see it restocked.

[Luvstravel]

Thank you @Seymore3

[Luvstravel]

Thanks @Titian06 and @SportyGirly125

[Titian06]

@Luvstravel - I am so sorry!  Of course I'll let you know if I see it!  😥

[SportyGirly125]

@Luvstravel Oh nooooo. I am praying that it shows up. 🙏🏻

[WinglessOne]

UPDATE: it’s here! 

Everything in its right place.

I haven’t swatched it at all yet. Waiting til daylight tomorrow. 🙂 For some reason, I didn’t expect the pink case to be as mirror-shiny as the Decadence gold case—but that just adds to its beauty. 

If there are more Motherships coming this year and they interest me, I’ll have to buy another drawer. 😄 

———————————————————

Well, my VIII is in town at least! 

A small bit of happiness to look forward to tomorrow.

I got my shipping notice on Thursday. If you’re still waiting for shipping notice from PMG, I assume they’re shipping in batches—though of course I have no idea how they’re determining which orders to batch in what order. My order contains a pink-cased VIII and a Lip Fetish Balm (couldn’t buy this shade during the Lip Fetish sale because it was OOS, and Sephora doesn’t carry it). 

When it gets here, VIII will live right next to VI in my acrylic drawer stack. I won’t have to label it like I did all the black-cased palettes because it’ll be the only pink one I own. 🙂 

All my Motherships are now in my stack of Container Store Luxe Acrylic drawers. They don’t fit inside the medium drawer, but they do fit inside the drawer’s casing. (I’ve repurposed the drawer in my linen closet.)

I do still have all the Mothership boxes and will keep VIII’s. But I got tired of opening and emptying a box each time I wanted to use a palette, so I pulled ‘em all out and labeled their spines + one side with a gold oil paint pen. The boxes are in a bathroom cabinet until I decide how/where I want to display any of them. 

[Titian06]

Congratulations, @WinglessOne !  I'm excited for you!  I like the gold lettering on the black spines--very sophisticated.  💖💖💖

[SportyGirly125]

@WinglessOne yay!!! it will be here so soon

[Luvstravel]

Yay for tomorrow @WinglessOne I knew someone had posted labeling the spines. Question, I've always stored my Natasha palettes flat because of the softness of some of the shadows. I felt they might fall or crack standing straight up, have you had any problems with any of the shadows in your Mothership palettes? The only other brand that's been too soft to store standing up was my Ofra highlighters. One crumbled and I hadn't used it in a while, not even moved it. I looked at the rest and sure enough a few of them had cracks starting to form I guess because they are so soft.

[Luvstravel]

Thanks @WinglessOne that makes me feel better! I've also traveled with a mini Hourglass bronzer for the past two years and it's still solid ❣ got love that.

[WinglessOne]

@Luvstravel  Sorry about your Ofra highlighter. I keep all my big Natasha Denona palettes (well, bigger than the minis/5-pans) stored upright and none of the shadows have cracked or crumbled yet. I also now keep most Viseart palettes upright, since I’ve cleared room for them on a wall shelf; the only one that stays flat is Dark Mattes, and only because one of the pans is completely loose and the shadow in it is broken all around the edges. (That happened during shipping from Sephora.) I also keep ND blushes stored vertically, and I’ve had Hourglass Ambient Lighting powders/palettes stored that way. Hell, I’ve traveled with Hourglass single powders and have yet to have one break on me. 

Haven’t had trouble with any PMG shadows breaking while stored vertically, either in the Motherships, 6-pan MTHRSHPs, or quads. For a while, I had the 10-pans stored vertically with their spines out, like books. Last week, I labeled one of each palette’s short sides and now store them all spine up with the labeled short side out. Spine out is probably the better (stronger) storage method, but spine up saves me more space. 🙂 

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks for great organizing ideas @WinglessOne ! Very helpful and love the pen idea! 🥰

[sonnydee]

great idea to label @WinglessOne

[curlychiquita]

Glad it's on its way, @WinglessOne!
