On the 25th I will be turning 24 years old and decided to treat myself this year with some luxury makeup purchases. It wasn't intentional from the start but I ended up hauling in all Pat McGrath products. Though I've had the opportunity to use a couple of her eyeshadow palettes before when a client brought them to me to try out on her, up until this point I've only purchased the first Lust 004 Flesh kit, so this haul was particularly exciting.

I originally had only 1 Mothership palette in my cart, as you can imagine this type of purchase already making a real dent in my bank account, but as I said I wanted to treat myself for my birthday so I decided screw it, why not get two? Honestly, I would've bought all three and I may still buy the third at some point but the two I bought, "Subliminal" and "Subversive", were the ones really calling to me. 

The "Subliminal" palette was the first Mothership eyeshadow palette released by Pat McGrath, and though I'm disappointed it took me so long to add it to my collection, I'm ecstatic that I finally did. The quality of the formulas to these shadows are beyond what I've ever experienced. This palette is very cool toned so not usually what I'd steer towards for a palette, but actually suits my style as I tend to try to go out of the box and bold with my eye looks.

The Subliminal palette consists of "Skinshow Nude" (champagne platinum), "Depth" (ash brown), "Ultimate Taupe" (soft beige brown), "Pale Gold 002" (cool platinum gold), "VR Violet" (pinky violet duochrome), "Xtreme Black" (ultimate black), "Lilac Dusk" (muted lavender), "Substance" (cool beige brown), "Blitz Blue" (vivid sapphire) and "Astral White" (white with blue flash).

The second Mothership palette I got is the newest, "Subversive". This was the very first product I added to my basket as every single color in this palette was calling my name. I've used this specific palette on a client before and I'm glad to finally have one in my own hands.

The Subversive palette consists of "Skinshow Fever" (champagne gold pearl), "Night Creature" (deep magenta), "Deep Shade" (dark warm brown), "Gigabyte" (antiqued green gold), "VR Pink" (peachy pink with gold pearl), "Xtreme Black" (ultimate black), "Lazarus" (warm pinky brown), "Black Metal" (gunmetal black with silver pearl), "Blitz Amethyst" (deep purple with blue pearl) and "Astral Ghost Orchid" (white iridescent with pink flash).
