Re: PAT McGRATH LABS

@sabrinas - I know better that Kate is more berry. Should stay off of here while tired duh :P. Is there one that you prefer over the other? I had my eye on Omi cause I don't have a good pinky/mauve true nude that I can think of. Every nude lip I try makes me look washed out (thinking of you CT's Kidman's kiss) . The closest thing that I have that's neutral/nude is Epigram by Urban Decay (which is terracotta). Everything else is I own is berries/pinks/purples/reds.

Re: PAT McGRATH LABS

Beware. Her swatches and descriptions are almost invariably way, way off. I've made some bad buys based on them when I couldn't see a product in person, so I'm very wary. Just a PSA, nothing against Temptalia.

Re: PAT McGRATH LABS

Why was I thinking they'd be more matte? The colors are nice but I'm sure I have a close enough dupe for the ones I like. 

Re: PAT McGRATH LABS

I cannnnot wait for these to launch at Sephora omg. I want to get at least two 😄

Re: PAT McGRATH LABS

I got my set!!! Here is a photo with swatches, however if you want to see all of the photos (including lip swatches), I added them in an imgur album :

Re: PAT McGRATH LABS

@sabrinasdo you have Flesh 1 from 004 by any chance? I wonder how 1995 and Flesh 1 compare. Thx!

Re: PAT McGRATH LABS

@sabrinas  ohh that helps! Thanks so much. Sorry couldn't reply direct.

Re: PAT McGRATH LABS

@veronika23 I dont, no! However I know that one was super peachy pale and 1995 is more taupey and not peach at all!!

 

@niki172 Hmmm, I say get Omi if youre looking for that type of lippie! I actually wore it today and kinda fell in love! It was the perfect neutral lipstick.  Id say my faves from all of them are that one, flesh 3 and obsessed!

Re: PAT McGRATH LABS

Thanks for your review @sabrinas. I've been on the fence about these lipsticks and I don't feel like I need or want them anymore. If I'm going to pay an arm and a leg for lipstick, it better be luxe af and work better than ones half the price. I would have liked to try out the other lip kits with the glitter but I wasn't paying attention when those came out lol. 

Re: PAT McGRATH LABS

Thank you thank you for the indepth review @sabrinas.  I'm interested in Omi and McMenamy but looks liked McMenamy is out now (since it would be too dark for me).  I might just pick up Omi to try out the formula ...

Re: PAT McGRATH LABS

@sabrinas

 

Thank you for the swatches and a complete review Sabrina.  It is helpful.

 

I am keen to get Elson and McMenamy.  I am uncertain about antidote - I have other purples and don't want to get one that is a bit fussy.

 

I am cautious about matte formulas, although it is liquid mattes that I absolutely avoid.  Mattes in a tube work out better for me.  Lets see.

Re: PAT McGRATH LABS

Thanks @sabrinas! Worth it?

Re: PAT McGRATH LABS

@sabrinas  Can't reply directly to you but thanks so much!!! Still unsure about 1995. 😄

Re: PAT McGRATH LABS

Copying and pasting from my reddit review @veronika23 🙂

 

Alright, so from left to right in all photos (or top to bottom once it comes to lip swatches) we have:


1995, Omi, Flesh 3, Obsessed, Full Panic, Elson, Antidote, McMenamy and Deep Void.
Photos were taken in natural lighting, and for the arm swatches I grabbed both a natural warm and natural cool light to show the differences depending on the lighting.
So far, all is good (except for a packaging issue with Flesh 3, where the tube gold cover thing keeps sliding off so I can't even roll up the lipstick properly, and the purple shade doesn't apply as easily).
The lipsticks are VERY pigmented and they do feel very thin on the lips and natural, however they are not moisturizing and if you have any dry patches on your lips, it will show.
The purple lipstick was the most problematic, mostly because it didn't glide on as easily as the others did and I had to work a bit to get it even.
I'm kinda bummed that both McMenamy and Deep Void are as dark as they are, because I don't think I'll ever wear these colors and I didn't expect McMenamy to be like this based on other swatches I've seen but oh well lol I can probably sell them both if I want.
My faves are all the nudes, the orange-red and the red. They are super pretty!
Beware though, these stain like MAD. The swatches on my arm have not come off after washing with soap AND exfoliating. Good though if you want your lips to fade nicely when wearing the lipstick :).
Should you buy them? I say yes, but only if you like your products to look and feel more luxurious. The packaging is weighty and the application is generally good, depending on what color you use. Had I gotten to test these first, I probably would have only picked up the nudes and brights, not the darks.
I say don't get them if you are more about the actual performance of the lipsticks. They are good, but I feel for their price you can grab a Chanel or Guerlain or something which also seem to be more hydrating and gentle on the lips.

Re: PAT McGRATH LABS

Thx for all the swatches @sabrinas.  It's hard to choose one or 2 is it 😉

Re: PAT McGRATH LABS

@sabrinas thanks for posting these! I think you've convinced me to get Elson and Flesh 3 when they come to Sephora. I was hesitant of the price but wow, these colors are gorg

Re: PAT McGRATH LABS

So, my package is out for delivery and I have to leave my house in 2 hours to go to a wedding!!!! I really really hope they arrive before I leave as I want to play! And give you guys all the swatches ahhh.

Re: PAT McGRATH LABS

Ohhh hope you get them before you leave. Can't wait to know what you think! @sabrinas
