Agreed, a lot to be digested and discussed with this @danielledanielle. Very cool for Pat McGrath and big congrats to her. I do agree that this probably a significant if not the primary reason for less newness coming from her line; hoping though that Glass Skin is a sign that she will have more to come, with her makeup, in particular (I haven't tried her skincare yet so I can't speak to that) but I'm pretty sure most of us would love to see more newness from her. I also agree that the price tag will likely be heftier, a lot heftier, than her PML beauties. Based on the article too, doesn't look like the collection will be available in department stores like Hermes in Nordstrom or Saks, etc. There's probably a host of business reasons for LV jumping into the space, likely including a desire for more market share and being competitive with other luxury brands. I also read an article about the "lipstick effect" and that's also another possible factor but the makeup line has been in development for 5 years and my recollection is that it was just last year that LVMH didn't have record breaking results - sales picked up in the last quarter but 2024 wasn't a great year for them as a whole. I don't know whether I'll pick up anything from the new makeup collection, but I am interested to see what Pat McGrath and LV have put together for their initial launch - it's a lot of product they have; wondering whether they'll release products category by category over time a la Hermes or one product first like Celine; or all at once. It seems like they have an pretty extensive selection of color cosmetics all ready to go, though it seems like a lot to release all at once, the lipsticks in particular.

That's darn cold @ather -30 and anything below is down right harsh. 🥶❄️ I hope you see warmer temperatures in your forecast soon. I haven't tried Rhode, you think it is more nourishing and protecting than skinfix? I'm very intrigued. 🧐

@Dea101378 Welcome to BIC!

Omg thank so so much! Definitely going to try these suggestions I’ve been wanting to try the Lacome 😩 I had no idea ppl responded to this post until just recently 🫣 this helps a lot!

I hope you get to try it 🙂

OH my goodness @makeitup305 I thought the scent was just me. I think I used it 3 times and although it makes my hair super soft... I'm basically holding my breath in the shower for like 5 mins LOL
