~ Updated Sept 26th 2019 ~

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

@blackkitty2014  @SportyGirly125  just an FYI, Temptalia has a very extensive list of the dates and places that items will be available (for North America and SEAPAC) and the highlighter is only listed as being available at PMG direct and Selfridges so it is possible that it isn't coming to Sephora. 

I noticed all of the other items that Sephora is getting already have product pages up so I thought it was worth a mention.

[SportyGirly125]

@Mochapj Thank you for the info

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you @Mochapj @SportyGirly125 .  Ugh. I hate ordering from PMG simply because the shipping is taking forever.  😞

[SportyGirly125]

@blackkitty2014 @You get a better discount at Sephora if you wait to use you F&F code. 

[sonnydee]

Has anyone received the code yet for the VIP release of the holiday collection? I haven't got a email yet 😬😕 edit: nevermind, it was coming just later than usual

Code for today celestial10

[blackkitty2014]

CELESTIAL10 @sonnydee 

[sonnydee]

Thanks @blackkitty2014 🤗I got it but it was later than expected, already ordered can't wait! 

[SportyGirly125]

@sonnydee I got my shipping confirmation for my masks. Did you?

[sonnydee]

Yes, was just coming here to let ya know! @SportyGirly125 got it around 4, but got sidetracked.

Interstellar Icon

[WinglessOne]

@hersheykisseslv  Hmm, the more I see this quad, the more that blue looks like Dark Star's Interstellar—and the more I think I can skip this quad, especially since I already have Blue Blood twice (actually 3 times since I have 2 Decadence palettes 😂). I'll focus my attention on the other 2 quads. 

Also, I'm SO GLAD the box of this particular quad will ship with the correct name on the front. All other photos I've seen of this Interstellar Icons quad, including those on PMG's own pages (unless they've recently fixed it), show Risque Rose on the box instead. It drives my editor brain a little nuts. I'm sure this really is the Risque Rose box that's maybe been digitally colorized from pink to blue, but it's made its way to product pages and promo photos and omg they need to fix it already. 

FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT OMG FIX IT

[hersheykisseslv]

@WinglessOne  Good eye! I did not notice this on her other posts.

I hope she stops with the repeats. The only time she should include one is when a shadow is no longer available. I am also planning to skip this quad because I own Dark Star. I don't even think she's trying to hide the fact that she was inspired by Interstellar, even down to naming the quad Interstellar Icon. At the moment, I am not interested in the other two quads either. I don't feel that they stand out from what I already own from the brand. I also wish she had gone with some autumnal shades or some cooler tones. 

[Mochapj]

Brand swatches of the 3 new quads. She mentioned on her Instagram that they contain new formulas. I also noticed they are not called Blitz Quads so I don't believe they contain any of her baked pigment shades, just other matte, satin and metallic formulations

[KNC24]

I know I’m going to buy all three quads. I realize I’m collecting Pat’s eyeshadow palettes at this time. My color interest may change so I buy it now for when it changes. 

[WinglessOne]

@Mochapj  Also, the product page for these quads is now live at PMG direct, complete with the usual swatch video and shade descriptions. And yeah, these shades aren't blitz or astral shadows. 

I was originally drawn to the Interstellar quad (with the blue shade). But now I'm more interested in the Risque Rose quad (hot pink shade): it's the only quad Pat describes as all new formulas; it contains a duochrome; and the hot pink shade is apparently deemed eye-safe unlike the very similar pigment in Mothership 8—though you can risk using that one around your eyes, especially if you've never had bad reactions to certain dyes. The other pink quad (Fleur Fantasia) contains 2 duochromes, and I'm always drawn to those. It's a bit too pastel for my usual liking, but... it has duochromes... sigh. 

[blackkitty2014]

Thx @Mochapj .  These confirm my disappointment. 🤣😂.  I want Blitz Quads darn it. 

[Mochapj]

@blackkitty2014 same. I am intrigued by the descriptions of some of the new formulas, though.

In the quad Sportygirl posted below, the lavender shade is a new formula with iridescent sparkle, the coppery shade is a new foiled metallic formula and the hot pink is a new creamy matte formula.

[SurprisedLemur]

They're also $77 CAD instead of $86 CAD like last year's quads, which is appreciated 🙂 looks like each of them has at least one duochrome?

Risqué Rose

[WinglessOne]

I forgot to share my Celestial Divinity swatches here after posting in the Hauls thread. I started with the 6 brand new shades in the middle of the palette, then the 6 Galactic Gold shades, and finally the 6 Dark Galaxy shades. I had a hard time capturing each duochrome's color shift in still photos, except for Dragonfly which shouted “LOOK AT MEEEEE” the whole time. 🤣

Daylight through closed blinds, with indoor light behind me.Bathroom light; I did a bit of color temp adjustment to the entire photo.Here you can see a bit of Electron's color shift (5th from top right).Morning sunlight through opened blinds.

Still haven't used this palette on my eyes yet, but I will soon. Venusian Orchid might end up being the problem child: that's a double layered swatch in my photos. Then again, it's a finger swatch... I don't like to swatch mattes with my fingers because that's not how I apply them to my lids. I usually brush-swatch mattes but didn't this time. This one and Venomous Void might perform better with a brush. I'll find out soon enough.

@WinglessOne have you use the palette much yet? I'm seriously considering purchasing it as my very first PMG product but obviously it's a lot of money and I know that I can trust your review and opinion.
