- For my regulars here, apologies guys...I know this turned out quite similar to the look I just did. In my defense, I planned an entirely different look but in broad daylight the two main shades I had in mind turned out to have slightly different tones and I was in such a rush this morning that one thing led to another and the end result was quite similar.
Don't worry, a whole week is coming! We will play a lot more with this palette in the coming days.
Yours is the review that matters to me for this release! If it gets your stamp of approval, that's good enough for me!
Give me a week to test it properly and gather my thoughts.
Agreed! You and alicia are my beacons for guidance.

YOUR JUMP SUIT IS FABULOUS!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I’m so excited that the mega palette is completely the past quint formula! WOW!!! You knew!!! 🙌🏼 You are the true Pat info source. Your knowledge on the brand cannot be surpassed!! Since she’s not doing baked shades anymore, I have to say her quint formulas (especially mattes) are the most unique and special formulas the brand currently releases! I couldn’t be happier to have more of these shades! (I wish we had an all matte 5 pan. I love these mattes so much!) I also like that the insert is plastic. The last Mega I bought was Celestial Nirvana and that had a cardboard insert.
I now want the mega palette and the green duo. (I let my daughter have my Celestial Odyssey so I need that green back! Woot!!)
I’m surprised there was no code this release. I wish we knew why! Bad sign for the brand-like they couldn’t afford it…or Neutral sign for the brand-they heard everyone say you should never buy at full price because there are so many sales, so they will have fewer sales/codes going forward…or Good sign for brand health-they are doing so well they don’t feel the need to encourage purchases with a small discount.
THANK YOU!! I agree...it was relatively expensive for my standards but i put in on, and I knew it's coming home.
Haha well I wish I could tell you that it was really hard to figure out but it really wasn't, it just needed a bit of attention and brand knowledge.
You gave away your Odyssey!!!! 😱 I would never haha.
I am loving the Sherlocking here.
Great video! My favorite thing about this release is that we are going to get a bunch of Mariam looks!
I’m not sure if it’s for me, but I will be watching and waiting to hear your final verdict!
Ahh you are so kind thank you!!! I am so excited to DIG IN!!!
AWESOME !!! First RUclipsr I’ve seen with actual new palette!!!!
I’m so excited 😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
YAY!
Yay!!! So happy it arrived so quickly for you! I ordered it and am waiting for it to arrive . You are the Pat expert ! You are my go to for all things PML❤ looking forward to your week of Luminous Legends
That is super sweet thank you!
Looking forward to the week of luminous legends. I’m really feeling the green-gold or green-bronze vibe the autumn.
Yay, I am ALWAYS in the mood for bronze-green fall vibes haha.
I agree there’s a learning curve with this formula. I didn’t care for it at first but it’s grown on me and less is definitely more with the metallics.
Yes definitely, even for me I am sure I was using too much the first few months after these quints first released.
many thanks for the citrine envy comparisons!!
You are most welcome!
I just crossed the jade duo out of my list (cuz I have the other palette). Thanks for showing us this beauty
Happy to be of service!
Thank you can’t wait to see the looks you are going to create❤
Now I understand the name Luminous Legends! Your swatches showed that the shadows are repeats (or in new formula) of the most hyped shadows from previous collections. Quite bright idea. I am not a collector so now is the opportunity to buy the best ones...
There are a lot of very similar shades for sure.
This is the ONLY video about Pat McGrath holiday collection that is worth watching! 👏👏👏 Thanks for the comparisons! Can you compare next time the light blue in the middle row with the similar one from one Star Wars quint? And the lavender with Lavendaring?
I’ll skip for sure the green duo. And for now I’ll wait on the Mega palette: it’s half pink/orange (first row and half mid row) so not my cup of tea… And among the remaining shades 2 are repeats.. The only shade I truly love is the lavender in the middle row but it’s very similar (both in color and texture) to one shade in TF Violet Satine, that I own… So honestly I should just skip this collection. Maybe if the Mega palette goes on sale, but even then I don’t know 😘
You should absolutely not buy this just for the lavender shade. We need to find you the Risque Rose quad stat!
You have Bronze Bliss already?
@@mariam.a.yes, I own both the quints with the repeat shades
@@clidrevandijk I see. Do you like the formula? It seems like something you would not be super into.
Hats off to you . Stellar video
VERY helpful comparisons, thank you!
Yay! You got it so fast. You are the best at describing details about textures and shades, so this is very helpful.
Glad to hear it thank you so much!
Yaaassss best upload of the week! 🤩🤩✨✨
💕🥰😘
I was happily awaiting your video 😊
Yours is the only one I've watched. It is indeed a very pretty palette and I'm really looking forward to the week long videos 😊
Finally Pat has a warehouse in the Netherlands!
Haha apparently US orders only shipped as of today, so that explains the lack of videos.
The completionist in me will probably get it…but not right away. Intrigued by the duo
Love the look. I'm looking forward to the week of looks when you dive into the palette. I'm still waiting for my order, and excited to get it.
Hope you get it very soon! What did you get?
Just subscribed after stumbling on this video. Your swatches and review are so detailed and ACTUALLY helpful 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽 thank you!!
Glad to hear it!!! You are most welcome!
Girl yess! 🎉
Yes I bought the big palette and the quints. Looking forward to getting my hands on them.
Hope you love them!
We need those comparison swatches with Celestial Odyssey!
Could you do a comparison of all the lavender/ lilacy shades of Pat?
So helpful! Wow the lavender is gorgeous ❤
You are most welcome!
This video is so informative! Thank you for doing the comparisons! And I love the eye look you did 😍😍
Thnka you so much!!
You are serving Caramel Apple realness, absolutely love this look (and that jumpsuit, wow!). Yours was the review I was looking forward to the most, so thank you, as well as for the swatch comparisons.
I’ve only seen a couple of reviews, from Europe, as all U.S. orders ship on October 4th. I only know that because I contacted customer service, as I was beside myself seeing my order still “unfulfilled.” 😂 So that’s why there are so few reviews (you really have to dig, at this point)-the States haven’t even had their orders shipped!
I got all shadows except the black/gold duo, and after watching this review, I have absolutely zero regrets. Even when Pat’s formulas are not-great, they’re still stellar and I know that if I want impeccable shadow, all I have to do is reach for Mother (with Natasha being a close second). Very much looking forward to your full week of looks/final review, and hope you had a great work trip in Gay Paree [sic]! ❤
Haha thank you, caramel apple sounds delightful!!
Thank explains the lack of videos and the sparse ones I have seen seem to be from European folk.
You went all out! I hope you love everything.
Paris was so tiring but also SO much fun!!!
I’m all about the shiny and glittery, so it’s hard to skip this launch completely, but I’m going to wait for a sale. I was hankering for the green shade, but I have the other mega palette with the dupe, lol. It’s disappointing, but not unusual for Pat to dupe herself, sadly. I’m betting you’ll find more similar shades through the week, and I’m here for it!
I think this is a good strategy. Perhaps if you wait, you might even end up losing interest. That often happens to me.
Thank the Gods! I was so badly waiting for this highly sought-after review! As soon as I saw the pic on IG I ran to check it here... thanks for being honest as always! Yes! I was afraid that the celestial jade is a similar to citrine envy but on another review its highly similar to Nocturnal Nirvana blitz astral quad green as well! I mean if this whole collection comes in a deeply discounted price I will still be buying all ! But so far I'm waiting 😌
You are too kind thank you!
I don't think Blitz Emerald is similar to Celestial Jade at all, they are completely different eyeshadows. Hope that helps!
YAY! I was so excited to see your video on this collection! Thank you for your thorough review and sharing your knowledge about the brand! BTW, I have the PML eyeshadow primer, and I don't find it works well with the quint formula, as the primer is also too emollient like the IntensifEYES. Both item (PML eyeshadow primer and IntensifEYES) has the same consistency, imo. That's one of the few items I don't like in the PML brand. Instead, I use the Fenty eyeshadow primer, which makes these quint shadows last from morning into the night. Can't wait to see your videos throughout the week and get my PML holiday collection, as it does not ship until October 4th.
Oh thanks for this! It is actually really useful information.
If i didn't had the majority of the Motherships and 2 quads (the interstellar icon and nocturnal nirvana) i'd be tempted to buy this palette. It's daily friendly and pops of fun, but i have them already. Including Mothership 9 with that lilac baked shadow that looks similar with the Orchid opulence
You are entirely correct, none of these a re unique in any capacity even within Pat's own range.
I have never purchase any of the Christmas mothership pallets, this year is the year. Everything looks amazing and made in Italy
Maybe this is your year!
I’m so glad it was just me with the code! I began to doubt myself 😂
I have mine coming tomorrow, it shipped pretty fast, the last year or so I personally found shipping to the uk suddenly got very slow!
I love the green jumpsuit.
Ah interesting, shipping to the UK was so much better a few years back, especially compared to EU.
Thank you, I adore it!
@@mariam.a. I don’t know if I just got unlucky or if it just went downhill in general but there’s been orders where I’ve had to double check it’s not been cancelled because over a week it still wasn’t dispatched. Almost two weeks before it left the warehouse.
They are using fedex this time though, it’s normally DHL
@@emmajacobs2262 They kept changing the shipping service to NL quite a lot in the past years too.
I was really looking forward to seeing your reaction and review. I am hoping to pick this up, but I can wait for Black Friday. I really like the soft, sparkly direction this collection has taken. It’s neutral (ish) with a nice twist. Thank you for the feedback ❤❤❤
I don’t have “Celestial Odyssey”. I don’t have a lot of the quints either.
I would def describe it as neutral with a fun twist, I guess most of PML palettes are like that. I think that is part of the appeal.
Glad EU has good shipping now. Here in the US I'm still waiting for my order to be shipped, even after ordering on launch day....which is totally standard for them. 😂
Sorry to hear that!
I can't believe that I missed this launch until i saw your video 😂 ordered placed with sephora asap
Haha love that, means you have a healthy relationship with makeup.
Thank you for this!!! ❤ I like the pastel shades in the big palette, but I have so many identical shades of lavender in my collection. I'm still considering the green duo if it goes on sale, I think it could be handy to have the green in a travel size format, as I do not travel with celestial odyssey 😅
Nice review, thank you ❤. Love PML eyeshadows .waiting for your next video… groetjes
Komt eraan! Groetjes :)
Great review! The shades look pretty. 15 makes sense to me. The previous holiday palettes were a little too big for me.
Thank you Beth!! Are you planning on getting this one?
I have signed up for early release only to get -10%off. Now, you can be sure I will wait for sale to get it))). Especially knowing that there is no mothership coming this year. I am convinced they made enough of these to have in stock as main palette of the year. So, no need to rush
Hahah you did not now that? It has always been 10%.
I don't understand why US doesn't ship til oct 4th so crazy. Can't wait to hear your thoughts ❤😊
Different warehouse, I guess the EU one was pre-stocked and ready to ship in time for the launch.
The celestial jade duo looks tempting for someone who has missed out on the older mega palette as the green/citrine envy dupe looks delicious. But the price of the duo has me firmly waiting for a sale.
Oh yeah, absolutely the best strategy for a duo.
Oh Mariam. I too am tired of people poo pooing PML products. It feels like a strange type of sport these days. Saying that I don’t really like this palette, for me anyway. The shadows look thick, heavy and way too glittery. Sure, ok for during the holiday season I guess. But objectively they the opitome of ‘aging’ shadows. I did see a young woman in her 20s use it and yes it looked fun, bright and blingy on her, but most definitely not a daytime look. I like that brown matte shadows though.
I mean a daytime look is whatever one wants it to be. I do think people on the tubes are often using way too much of these on their lids, that's why I recommend to use less than you think. I think they can look super pretty an ethereal when used correctly, but this formula is known to be sparkly.
You are a sparkle moment 🙂
HAHA thank youuuu!!! 🥰
Hmm I’m waiting to buy I don’t have any Megas aside from last years with the blushes I got both so maybe worth it for me. Although I do have all the Quints from last 2 holiday and star wars. Im torn but leaning towards get it.
Tough choice especially if you already have a ton of quints.
If this mega motherships lasts, you could of course purchase it in the sale.
This release is an easy pass for me, but I agree with you that overall, it’s a great collection! Thank you for your helpful comparisons. The only shades I was remotely interested in from the Mega palette were Lunar Luxury (which I already own and love), the lilac shade (I’m sure I have something similar, and after your comparison with Pale Amethyst, I think I prefer that one, especially since I’m more of a neutral lover these days), and the light blue shade (which I didn’t like when you swatched it). Once again, thank you for an epic review! I’m looking forward to your future videos where you try out and create multiple looks using these shades!
I am very glad to hear this was helpful. I actually really love the blue shade...I would happily take out one of the coralish shades to have a mint green in that formula too though.
I love this matte formula but the glitters are too wet, thick and flakey. I still reach for my quints for travel convenience but they’re not my first choice at home. I don’t like having to be so careful and to really smooth and spread it. That’s why I don’t enjoy the Danessa Myricks shadows as well. Hoping to find more baked shadow options from other brands. Wish Bobbi Brown would release and distribute more eyeshadows in the US!
I think Pat will not do baked anymore, but I am glad that I like the new quint formula...means I don't have to fully quit the brand. Sorry to hear you are not vibing with it. I have never tried DM, her palettes are too un-curated for my taste.
I'm glad she has improved her formula of holiday palettes. However, I really dislike this color story, or should I say, lack of color story and cohesion. This is a collection of random shades that go or don't go together.
I would not say it is improved, just different. I would call it a neutral palette with fun pops. I like it and it is very on brand for PML. To me for instance the DM Lightworks palettes are infuriatingly discombobulated. They are all just "the rainbow," but plenty of others seem to be into them so I guess it is matter of personal aesthetic too.
🥳🥳
I fucking love the colour story, but I hate this formula LOL. Well, I guess I saved myself some money cause I was going to buy this but I just needed confirmation on the formula first. IDK why Pat Mcgrath seems to be the only brand who uses this formula tho. While KVD beauty used it once, and I do believe Haus Labs used a similar formula for their holiday palettes last year (all made in Italy), it is strange that PML continues to use this (only for the holidays tho).
I think because it is a well-loved formula. I know there are exceptions ( several people have shared that they don't like it as much or that it creases on them) but for the most part it seems to receive generally positive reviews.
Where did you get your earrings?

🥰💖🤗❣️
🥰🥰🥰
I’m not in love with it . I really feel I don’t need it :/
In that case, DO NOT buy it!
I'm out of order. I just watched your Look 1 video and backtracked to watch this one 🤫🫣
Haha you made your way to it who cares about the order.
@@mariam.a. absolutely 😀
