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

Mothership VI Eyeshadow Palette - Midnight Sun

@CynthieLu I wouldn't say underwhelming just didn't wow me the same. The formulas are still very high quality and the color story is beautiful. I just don't think it merits the price of other Motherships without the baked shades. 

[CynthieLu]

Aaaah gotcha @makeitup305 

[TraceyEB]

@makeitup305, gorgeous shades!

[makeitup305]

@TraceyEB the shimmers are very creamy with the exception of the topper shade, which is a little more piece-y.

[blackkitty2014]

Thx @makeitup305 . All shades look gorgeous on you. Please report back after you play with them 😘

Thanks for sharing, @Mochapj !  These colors look lovely on you! 😍

[TraceyEB]

@Mochapj, wow, that's much prettier than I expected!

[blackkitty2014]

Thx @Mochapj . I was saying I will skip but now I’m not so sure 🌹❤️

[TraceyEB]

Me, too!! 😬💮

[SportyGirly125]

@blackkitty2014 I have it and did a look with it already. It’s a really pretty palette. 

[blackkitty2014]

Thx for letting me know @SportyGirly125 . Now I think I want it 😘

@Mochapj Those are gorgeous swatches, thank you!

This is the first PMG palette I have been interested in for quite a while, mainly because I am not much of a pink person. I can’t wait to see swatches and reviews of it

PAT McGRATH LABS MOTHERSHIP XII Eyeshadow Palette: Petalmorphosis(link not active yet)

[CynthieLu]

This looks stunning and I love the colors! @danielledanielle I don't think it's coming too Sephora Canada sadly, it looks like this line might disappear from here or they are just seriously downsizing the range. I can't wait to see irl swatches from anyone who picks this up. 🤩

[danielledanielle]

@CynthieLu, ugh Canada does get the short end of it, but a lot of the items for PMG have disappeared off the US site, with a lot of what remains OOS'ed.  Seeing PAT McGRATH LABS MOTHERSHIP XII Eyeshadow Palette: Petalmorphosis gives me hope it's not leaving Sephora completely, but it definitely seems like a down-size across the board...although the US's largest Sephora still has a full gondola for PMG, a lot of Sephora's here don't really have it in store vs the brand's first appearance.

[CynthieLu]

On the Canadian app all but two pallets have been removed from minis to full size, and I don't believe they put out any new release FS palette's after Divine Rose I ( except the big holiday one) I dunno, they are pretty expensive so I can't complain. I might not have bought any but I did like looking at them online here. 🙃 @danielledanielle 

It was similar here, not every store carried them. I went to a really big store in Toronto when I was out there visiting and it was neat because they had PMG right on the shelves. I agree, it does seem to be downsized atm.

@danielledanielle  Now that the product pages at Sephora and Pat’s site are live, complete with swatches, I can confidently say this Mothership will join my collection. 

• Only one rose shade! (Some might call Lunar Nectar mauve but, to me, it looks straight-up rose in the promo photos.) 
• Those purples are singing to me. 
• THAT SPARKLY GREEN! 
• I have no problem with a purple + green color story. I don’t care who calls it the Mardi Gras palette. Dude, Mardi Gras is fun! 
• I still miss Pat’s baked “special” shade formulas in Motherships, but these Astral and Blitz pans do seem to swatch beautifully. 

I suspect some of Pat’s older shades are very close to a few of these. (I’m sure there will be shade comparison videos soon.) I’m still getting this palette though. I’m so shocked by a not-all-pink Mothership, I feel obligated to grab it. 😂 Really though, I do love this color story. And hey, I got another Rouge Reward this week; how fortuitous! Or I can get it for $0 OOP at Ulta or Nordstrom if it drops at either retailer. 

I see Pat’s offering a LE purple case at her site. Is it my imagination, or is that case slightly bigger than the usual black case? And it’s designed a bit different inside. Interesting. Normally I’d want the purple case just so I can very quickly find Petalmorphosis amongst the Motherships on my shelf. But I’d have to order it direct from Pat and lose my steep discount from other retailers, so I’m not planning to buy that one. I’m just curious about the case design.

@WinglessOne @danielledanielle about d-mn time, honestly lol . @WinglessOne I agree with a lot of what you said. I feel obliged to purchase this considering how much trash I’ve been talking about the brand for the past 2 years lol. I do really like the color story, too. What a coincidence that it released right after the news that PMG is heading the LV makeup launch 🤔 I’ll probably use a Rouge Reward or Ulta points as well. I wish I could get that purple case but the difference in price isn’t worth it to me, either. I hope the Astral formulas are good, they didn’t get the best reviews for the last launch.
