Hi loves, hope you are all doing well and staying safe. Today's review is on gorgeous Pat McGrath Labs Obsessive Opulence Kit (there is 3 sets available), which includes Matte Trance Lipstick Duo (2x4g) and Blitz Astral Quad: Nocturnal Nirvana (4x 1.5g). I'm usually not taken with the outside packaging so much, but this kit is so stunning. I love the baby blue packaging and the gems on it and I know it's only cardboard. I love how it opens up and all the details they have put in it.
Let's talk about the Matte Trance Lipstick Duo and it includes shades Flesh 5 and Elson. Both come in gorgeous red lipstick bullet and the bottom part of it has golden lips on it. Their packaging is so unique and everyone knows it's Pat McGrath Labs lipstick. It looks so unique and the inside of it looks as good as the outside. It's definitely a collectable item in my eyes. I'll be keeping it even after I have used the lipsticks up.
Both of the lipstick are pigmented, glide on like a dream and both have matte finish. I think it's one of the more comfortable matte lipstick I have tried. Now it's not like a liquid lipstick and it doesn't last as long. I'm okay with it, because how comfortable it feels on lips. These last on me through out having drinks, which I like, because I don't have to do any touch ups. After having food I do need to reapply it, which is not too bad in my oppinion, because the formula is so lovely and the colors are gorgeous.
You can see both of the lipsticks above. One of them is more nude and the other is a red. On me both are bold lip statements, so I like it. Even though some days I do like a classic nude lip. Anyway the shade Flesh 5 (on the left) is a beautiful darker nude mauve on me and I absolutely love it. It's the kind of shade I would wear daily.
Elson is a gorgeous brighter red on me. It's so stunning shade for anytime of the year. Red lip makes me always feel beautiful. Down below you can see the lip swatches. I'm really happy with these and they really do glide on like butter.
Now let's talk about the eyeshadow quad. It's the Blitz Astral Quad: Nocturnal Nirvana and is so unique. It comes in a black compact and it doesn't look bigger then a powder compact would loo. It has some weight to it. Inside there is a mirror and 4 eyeshadows, which are absolutely stunning. It contains jewel tones from emerald, turquoise, purple and gold. And I can make a look with all 4 shades. I love how it challenged me a little, because I wouldn't have put these together all at once :)
All the shades in the palette are so stunning and they have more of a metallic finish. They don't feel or look like any other eye shadows I have. I also love the shade VR Emerald is a duo chrome. I find luxury brands usually are not doing duo chromes, so I love that they do. So far I'm so impressed with everything I have tried. I'm obsessed!
The staying power of her eyeshadow is amazing. I always apply eye shadow primer under all my eye looks and these lasted crease free all day and the shadows stayed true to color all day.
I'm so happy with this kit and I can't thank hubby enough for gifting it to me. He is amazing! If you are interested in this set check it out here.

DeletePat McGrath makeup is sooooo good. Bought one of her palettes and the quality is addictive. I think I've formed a new *expensive* habit. Yes, you're right about the stain power of her shadows. They don't wear out!
