This palette has been around for ages
and I always loved the look of it. I finally decided to pick it up. I did use a
£5.00 off voucher on my order.
The packaging is made of plastic and it
has a long and thin rectangular shape. The base is white and the lid is clear,
so that you can see the eyeshadows. It has the logo in white font printed on
the bottom right corner. The lid just lifts up to reveal the shades. The pins
that attach the lid to the base are tightened, which gives you a pressure
opening/closing, instead of having a magnet or clip. You can purchase it for £41.00
($48.00) from NatashaDenona.com or FeelUnique.com.
You get five 2.5g eyeshadows in Semi Matte
(SM), Satin (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes.

DAISY - medium pink with warm undertones and glitters (ME)
SAKURA - medium red with warm undertones (SM)
BOTANIC - duo-chrome medium orange with yellow undertones (ME)
BLOSSOM - rich berry with cool undertones (S)
NUDE - golden peach with warm undertones and sparkles (ME)
These eyeshadows should be soft and
buttery, blend seamlessly, and be long lasting and ultra-pigmented. The palette
is cruelty free, but not vegan as some of the shades contain Carmine.
The packaging is simple and clean cut,
but I wish the opening/closing was different. It doesn’t quite feel secure
enough and after a lot of use, the pins could become loose and there would be
less pressure on the opening/closing, which means the lid could just flap
about. The colour story is very attractive to me. The eyeshadows are very
pigmented and Sakura does blend very
nicely, but Blossom is a little
patchy. The metallic shades are stunning and they are my favourites of the
palette. I would recommend eye primer and glitter glue. You can use the
metallic eyeshadows wet for a more intense look. You can also apply them with
your finger or a stiff flat synthetic brush. There is obviously a little
kick-back in the eyeshadows pans, but I didn’t notice any fallout. I did enjoy
this palette, but there are only so many looks you can do as there are only two
sort of matte shades and one of them is patchy. I kind of wish Natasha Denona
would release a Cranberry Mini Palette (15 shades). That way you would get this
colour story and I would include these metallic shades, but just do better with
choosing mattes and include more of them. I think her bigger palettes are
probably better quality than these five shade ones. It is a nice palette, but I
would save your money and get a mini palette (15 shades) instead. New colour
themes of them will be added over time, which I cannot wait for!
