Thanks @TraceyEB , really helpful info! 

[itsfi]

@TraceyEB, great descriptions and swatches. Thank you! The swatches comparing the WG palette to the CT one is really helpful. I’m not sure whether I’ll pick up the palette when it launches; maybe a purchase for later in the year.

@itsfi, thanks for posting! I just watched his video. It's a pretty colour scheme. Will likely buy the palette though it may not be on launch day.

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks @itsfi! Looks interesting! 

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, thanks for posting! I was en route to Canada when Wayne posted the announcement!

[Sunnysmom]

I figured you were @TraceyEB ! Hope all is well there! 🤗🥰

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom @TraceyEB, I read on makeupmuddle that it will retail for $55, and includes 4 mattes, 1 shimmer, and 1 metallic/foil shade.

[TraceyEB]

@itsfi, thanks for the intel! The metallic/foil finish is new to his eyeshadow palettes, so looking forward to seeing this one in particular!

[itsfi]

@TraceyEB, he's released quite a few new products in a relatively short period of time, this year alone, yes? I'm interested to see swatches of these shadows too!

[TraceyEB]

@itsfi, Wayne has released a high number of products recently! I thought there was going to be an extra release with the restock of his blushes but there is no hint of it. I can see why he stresses about the finances tied up in the manufacturing process. I've been enjoying the Goss Edit brush collection and his new mascara though I'm still getting used to a wand with smaller bristles that isn't loaded with goopy product.

[itsfi]

@TraceyEB, I meant to ask if you picked up his mascara. I haven’t put it to use yet but I like hearing that the formula is not goopy. I’m not sure how I’ll take to the bristles though,  but there’s one way to find out. Have you found his mascara to hold up well? Any smudging? Flaking?

[TraceyEB]

@itsfi, the mascara holds up really well: no smudging or flaking, no bits at the end of the lashes or clumping together of lashes, it didn't budge when my eyes were a bit watery in the outer corners. It is the blackest black mascara that I own. The first time I applied it and not being used to short wand bristles, I went over my lashes onto my eyelid - operator error. The wand is not covered in mascara, so it applies a light amount. I think it's designed for you to go back in and build it up. I like that feature a lot. A curled lash holds and it gave some length without a mascara curler. There's no mascara build up at the end of the wand to worry about. I really like it and will purchase again. Hope it works for you, too!!

[itsfi]

Thank you @TraceyEB! This is great information. The outer corners of my eyes can water from time to time so it’s good to hear that the mascara held up! ♥️

[Sunnysmom]

Hey thanks @itsfi great info! 🤗 It looks like a thoughtful set of good basics doesn’t it?! 

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom, it looks like the most neutral of his eyeshadow palettes. 

[Sunnysmom]

It does @itsfi . I’m going to try and resist it . at least until we see some good swatches! I’m sure I have plenty of others but I do like to support him and his products. I love his blush, how shocking. Lol.

Wayne is revealing his mascara on Friday, June 25. Sign up on Beautylish for launch notification.

Swatches of the Wayne Goss Radiance Boosting Palette in Satin Bronze. This is the middle palette. When they were set to launch, I couldn't decide between the lightest palette and this one. From some pics that were released before the launch, the shades in this middle palette looked darker and the lighter shade more orange than I like, which is what gave me some pause, but I am so happy I picked this one up.

Indoor lighting

The powders are buttery. There are 2 passes of each color in the swatches. They apply really smoothly, no kick up. The lighter bronze shade (Bronze Glow) has a soft sheen to it that I like very much. It keeps it from being flat but isn't so shimmery to be obvious. A noticeable but understated sheen; really beautiful. 😍

Outdoor lighting

The darker shade (Medium Taupe) makes for a perfect, "natural" contour on my skin tone, which, without bronzer or self tanner is fair-light with neutral undertones. This darker shade has a matte finish and it really does work wonderfully as a contour - it's got some red to it that keeps it from being too warm or orange and also from looking too grey or greige as some contour shades can pull on me. I've been meaning to try it as an eye shadow, maybe a transition shade. I think it could work nicely.

I'm not wearing a full face of makeup these days, so I haven't tested both these out at the same time. I've been using them separately, with Bronze Glow on its own for a healthy glow, or with Medium Taupe as a contour if I'm using something like Victoria Beckham Beauty Priming Moisturizer in Golden. @TraceyEB, it was later in the day, early evening, when I took these pics. I can take pictures again this week mid-day when the light is a little better, especially for the outdoor shots. Let me know if that would help; happy to do it.
