@makeup addict Well, I am super impressed with my experience at least! Ordered Wednesday night, got shipping notification Friday with guaranteed delivery by 3/22...and it arrived yesterday. It's even prettier in person Smiley Happy I can't wait to play with it today, but I wanted to share my initial impressions. It's a great size. The matte shade swatches much lighter than it looks in the pan, so it will be more useable than I thought. And one thing I wasn't expecting: the shadows have a vanilla scent. Now that I looked up the ingredients, I see why, but it's obvious enough that I would have thought they'd include that in the description.  I'm not sure if it was an intentional decision or if the ingredients causing it are included in the formula for some other reason. Probably intentional, to compete with the Too Faced palettes, but I personally don't understand why anyone would want their eyeshadow to have a scent.

@WenGirl42, the scent helped me decide to return the Tarte Tartist Pro eyeshadow palette, that and the fact that I found them to be rather dusty and not the quality I had expected.

I miss the days when Tarte had 2-3 TSVs a year on QVC!
