 She's here Guys, I'm so excited my Pat McGrath mother ship 10 moonlit seduction just arrived in the mail And I have to say the shipping was pretty pretty good I know shipping is a hot topic of Pat McGrath because she's known for having absolutely horrific shipping Okay, I got really good shipping when I lived in Maryland because I was you know just a few hours away from their Distribution center, but they would never send me like tracking in for anything It would just kind of show up So I was nervous to see what it was gonna be like with me living all the way down in Florida and not as quick But I got a shipping notification the next day and we ordered this on Friday. It's now Wednesday I'm very happy with the shipping experience. It seems like we've gotten it together a little bit, right? Now if you want to know my initial thoughts on this palette and the color story, I'm gonna link below my shop or drop On this palette I went over all of the details that she gave us at the time and my first impressions of just looking at it So I wasn't that excited about it if you saw that video But I'm super excited to have it in my hands and just see what we are working with if you're new here I collect Pat McGrath palettes and mothership palettes really started it all for me So it's always a big deal when a mothership palette launches because she only launches these once a year And let's take a look. This is the big 10 So here is what the packaging looks like at the current moment You are only able to pick this up on the Pat McGrath labs website. It is a hundred and twenty eight dollars So it's the same style box that all the motherships come in. Okay, hear me out I'm ready for something different with the packaging right a different outer box. Not just this lady right here I like it but now they're starting to look kind of similar to me Especially since she has a lot of rose palettes so a lot of them have the rose outer carton So it's harder for me to like decipher them when I'm pulling them out Just being picky And then here is the back of the palette palette is made in Italy and it has an 18 month shelf length It is still currently available on the website if you want to pick it up. Okay big reveal. Who's ready for it? I've already taken a peek i'm not gonna lie I just wanted to make sure nothing was broken and so that you guys wouldn't see my depression So here we go same typical mothership black lacquered packaging in the back as well And here is the palette itself. So here are the lights way down so that you can see Honestly, it's a much more rich palette than I was anticipating. It looked a little bit brighter I feel like online but in person it still is quite rich And I think it's going to work really well for a very wide range of skin tone So we'll see right away We have three mats and then it looks like okay It looks like these two are the shimmer shades and I was unsure if this was going to be A blitz shade and at least by look it looks as though it's a blitz shade, right? The big kind of pow wow shade is right here in her recent mothership palette She's been adding one or two shades that will kind of stand out in the palette There's nothing overly glittery in here. So in the utopian dream, which was the palette that came out last year They were super glittery formulas And I thought they were going to be in this one by the look of the promo pictures But they're not not saying that these aren't glittery, but let's just watch them Let's see what we have to work with right? I'm first going to swatch that first quad in the palette. So we have Skin tense glow which maybe could work as a highlight, right? And we have rosewood romantic, which is right next to it beautiful swatch It has some warmth in here and then we have extreme not turn Which is quite cool. I was worried that this palette would pull very warm But there's a mixture of warm and cool tones in this palette So this is a nice kind of cool gray brown And then here's the shimmer bronze devotion nothing special in the pat mcgrath line But certainly you really smooth really clean really like the way that this looks So this is the first quad could certainly get a good look with this I'm going to go ahead and swatch plum cabaret right here Because I want to get all five of these together Now this looked like another rosy shade It definitely has more purple in it. So I want you to take a look It's not as peachy pink and rosy as we thought it looked in the promo picks This definitely has more warmth and red in it. And this has a little bit more purple in it So these two shades we were like a pomegranate on the promo picks They don't look quite as rosy in person which I'm happy about But I'm not saying these shades are so unique. She still has a lot of shades that look like these But it's not pulling as rosy as I had anticipated, which it's good, I guess, right? Okay, so it looks like she had five blitz astro shades as opposed to the normal four Normally it's just these four. I think this is a blitz shade. This is platinum dusk Yeah, this palette is definitely much cooler than I anticipated. Look at that I don't even know if this is a blitz astro shade I mean, I guess it kind of is but it's not one of the glittery ones You know, it's just a really really metallic one with microfine glimmers But nothing overly glittery. That's a gorgeous shade. Okay, let's give VR sex Sexist sexisty sex sex To see okay, VR sex to see this is that special shade and you can kind of see on my hand It has that like blue brown shift to it kind of similar to mech club If you're familiar with that shade, it's not a new or innovative Chrome shade, but it's very pretty. Let's see how she swatches I mean, this still has that very special oomph to it that pat mcgrath oomph can get a better look here At the shift so pretty. This is making platinum dusk look a little dull compared to how shimmery the shade is Okay, now we're talking. These are really the blitzy shades. So this one right here is blitz viness Then we have astral gold lust And then we have astral lilac aura Okay, now that we have these four swatches suddenly the shade isn't as Blitzy or special to me. This is like a normal metallic But these shades you can really see the reflection on them and they are gorgeous I think they're a little bit closer to one another than I would prefer Like these two shades. Yeah, champagne gold and clearly like a lilac silvery shade They read kind of similar. I think just because of how metallic they are I don't know. We'll see how these apply, but being up front here I mean, it's gorgeous as with every other pat mcgrath palette Even if I talk my ish about the initial promo pics They always turn out to be prettier in person. Am I jumping for joy on this color story? No You can get literally all three of these mattes in her palettes already You can get a shade similar to this definitely this in her palettes already here You can probably get something similar, but these are a bit more icy. I feel like Anyways, I'm excited. They are still gorgeous. Let's see what we can do as you guys know with my looks It's kind of a vomit of all of the colors on my eyes so that I can Put them next to each other so I can see that they look different on the eyelid or if not So that I can see how everything applies So I already have some ideas up my sleeve for some looks that I want to create I'll share with you in a second But for now, I kind of just want to show you how everything is laying on and how they're looking next to one another I know sometimes I get comments that you know, you want to see the pretty look But honestly you guys in this review setting It's really important for me to compare shades next to each other because I want redundant shades in a palette That has only 10 shades and it's 128 dollars, right? We want each shade to have a purpose So just some ideas for looks if you need some inspiration This shade right here is the perfect crease shade with the VR shade This shade right here I would love to see with the platinum's and the lilacs together And then the reddish shade over with the golds would be really pretty So that's kind of the vibe and looks that I would go for if I weren't trying to put almost all of the shades on one eyelid So I'm going to use some sydney grace brushes and I'm going to start off with the plum shade right here I do like the shade. I don't have an issue with it at all But I don't really care for the matte transition shades Such as this one and the reddish one that she added in this palette I feel like there would be other colors that would have worked better And not only that she has these exact crease shades in all of her other palettes And at this point kind of bored with it kind of sick of it I don't mean to be negative the quality on them as you can see is really great blending out so nicely But in the palette that came out over the holidays, there was like two or three matte shades and they were all in that warm Reddish corally rosy family and we have that again our only transition shades Minus the cool toned Charcoli color Are once again reddish purpley tones and I just don't like it for every look I rather her have put in like a deep chocolate brown and then like a neutral Transition shade. I'd prefer something colorful. I think a dark green would have been really neat in here But with these two shades, I'm just not feeling them in here. I just we have This combo in just about 75 percent of the pat macrath palettes. There's only 10 shades in here I want it to stand out and these I don't necessarily know how well they go with the colors in here Like they go fine. They're semi neutral shade, but I just want something different. I don't know Let me know if you feel the same. I'm just being honest here So I am putting the reddish shade right beside the purple so that you can see how they compare You can definitely see the different undertones, but honestly They're a little bit too close for my preference because once you start blending them, they'll look very similar So again, what i'm talking about. It is a 128 dollar palette you only have 10 shades I want them all to stand out on their own and they're too much of a similar vibe They need to be different depths at the very least. These are the exact same depths But different tones but once you blend them out really is kind of hard to tell the difference between the two So that's a little disappointing for me personally But we're gonna leave it at that the quality on them is very very nice I'm gonna go in with an angled brush and we're going to go into this shade now. I like this shade I feel like it's a great color for this palette. I really feel like it goes seamlessly with all the blitz shades I don't feel the same about these two. I just don't think they go as well with the blitz shade Y'all know I love pat my favorite brand of eyeshadow palettes And i'm gonna use the heck out of this eyeshadow palette just because of the formula But she's really played it safe too many times and I was hoping I think a lot of us were hoping for mothership 10 That would get something a little different and not quite so safe because when the brand first came out as a Long time fan of the brand, you know, it was really artistic and different and now that's not the case That being said this palette is really pretty for somebody who doesn't collect pat mac graph palettes It still is a nice range of colors. It's not a bad palette in the least So don't let my personal disappointment get in the way of you purchasing it if you like the color story The quality in here is really nice up to par with pat mac graph Please take that as a note But I know I also have a lot of general pat mac graph fans slash collectors like myself I'm gonna tell you for those of you who are collectors like me that love the artistry of pat mac graph We're just not getting it with the brand anymore. It doesn't seem like pat mac graph anymore It's about the money at the end of the day and they are selling these safe color stories I'm gonna use the intensifies artistry one by the way while i'm sitting on my soapbox Um, you know, it's it is about selling product It is about making money and obviously her more natural palettes are selling very well So she keeps doing this but dang I wish we could just Have a pop of blue and green in this palette, you know, okay, so Now we're going to go into the blitz astral lilac shade I do like to use a glitter base for these shadows You can go without but this helps with longevity as far as the shadow not falling out as the day goes on I love the lilac shade. I think this one is really pretty. There was a lilac shade in hewentopian dream It was a lot more glittery. This is more toned down, but very very pretty I think it's a great addition to the palette and then for review's sake I wanted to use this glitter right here. That's gold. Well, it's not necessarily glitter, but I was worried that these shades would look a little too Close to each other, but they definitely look different So i'm happy about that and then of course we got to use this shade Now this is a shade that on an everyday basis I would like to wear all over the lid alone with just a crease color And yeah, you want to give it its own moment all over the eyelid. She's Super duper pretty. I like this better than sexured terrestrial personally if you have a dark base underneath that is so pretty Again, not the most unique multi-chrome shadow if a brand is multi-chrome They typically do a shift that is like this one But haven't got those as well as expected So pretty and I think it's so interesting the mix of the blitz shades that I have on my eye right now So gorgeous and I just want to show you this shade right here I'm gonna pop this in the inner corner and again I do think this one is a little bit close to the gold that I put right here, but nothing crazy The thing I have to say about all of the blitz shades Minus the vr shade right here is these three again They're kind of in that similar very metallic light depth So because they're so metallic and so light The differences on the eyelids Are kind of subtle and then I'm going to go in with this plum shade right here Like I said, I do like this shade. I think it's very pretty I wish it was something else because we do have this from pat macrath already But it's a very pretty shade But I really my disappointment is coming from these matte shades I'm tired of having shades like these in my crease for every pat macrath palette that I use It's making each look look more and more similar than I do from palette to palette Okay, then using the charcoal shade, which is super necessary in this palette Which I really like and I'm also kind of blending it up here as well I wanted to try this shade right here, which is like a cooler platinum color So nice. It's not a blitz shade. I've cracked that myth But it's a really fabulous metallic shade right here very reflective And then we want to use this shade which she has in multiple palettes I mean, I'm not saying it's a repeat shade It's definitely more white based than someone's that I've tried from her, but She has a shimmery white and a lot of palettes Okay, and I'm going to stop that there. I know it's a vomit of colors But once we get lashes on it is going to look good I promise you pat macrath always pulls together with some liner and lashes And I'm going to give you my final thoughts on this palette. All right with liner and lashes I told you everything turned out. It it's so pretty Regardless as any pat macrath look is going to be I wanted to show you the palette next to divine rose one and two Because we were so worried about being this a rose palette. I thought it'd be nice to show you them side by side So here is divine rose one and here is moonlit seduction. You can see the blitz astrals are a different formula They're more glimmery Not any real dupe for dupes the top colors right here of the shimmery whites are similar different undertones though We have more of a reddish shade as opposed to the chocolate brown The matte plum shade in the moonlit seduction has a shimmer version in the divine rose shade But I would say they're different enough to warrant and then here is divine rose two Now you'll see divine rose two has a lot more of a pop color here And even though we were sick of roses by the time divine rose two came out at least there's like pops in here I would say the plums kind of looks similar. Honestly, the two matte shades look similar I'm gonna swatch those. So here are the two matte shades from Moonlit seduction here are the two matte shades from divine rose two So this is much more peachy. I would say the plum shades are pretty close Honestly, not terribly far off if we're being honest here. Again, that's what I'm talking about Pat McGrath always has these shades of mattes in her palettes And you don't have many other shades to work with so I hate how the mattes she has all seem to be the same So then they all have to be the matte transition bases to the looks so that looks end up being quite repetitive Then here's the VR shade from the moonlit seduction and here is divine rose two sexual terrestrial, which are very very different Okay, so here are my final thoughts as you can probably tell moonlit seduction is not my favorite However, it takes a while for me to get to know Pat McGrath palettes There are palettes that I've had similar feelings about as I do with the moonlit seduction I ended up just reaching for them a lot divine rose two is one of those examples I had my things to say about this palette and ended up becoming one of my most favorite and most used So I definitely want to give this the test of time to see if I do actually end up reaching for it Because I do really like the blitz shades that she has in here overall If you like the colors of the palette, you're not a Pat McGrath collector and you're looking to pick up a mothership palette I think this is a very very good one. The mattes are really blendable. The shimmers are absolutely stunning It's a great quality palette as the Pat McGrath Motherships are if you're a collector like me, which I know a lot of you are is this one Exciting unique in the collection Not at all. So as a collector, I'm coming from a stance of like slight disappointment But as I said before I've been surprised by Pat McGrath palettes It normally takes me some time to see how much I'm reaching for them the different looks that I could get I'm just here to give you a thumbs up on the quality and here are your guys's thoughts as well So let me know down below. Did you pick this palette up? Are you excited for it? Did you try it out? What do you think and with that being said I'm going to check out of this video and by the way My family is coming for three weeks So my parents are coming the first half and then Jose's parents are coming the second half of those three weeks So I'm not going to be doing daily uploads most likely anymore for those three weeks It's not the big of a deal.
