HUDA BEAUTY The New Nude Palette

I currently own all four of the big HUDA BEAUTY palettes, and I fell for the colour story of this one as soon as I saw it. The designs for the bigger palettes always look stunning!

THE PACKAGING

The packaging is quite simple and made of nude pink cardboard, but it has Huda’s face on the front. Huda’s eyes are closed and it looks like she is wearing a fascinator, which is covering part of her face. The palette has a magnetic closing and you just lift it up to reveal the mirror and square eyeshadow pans.

THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA

You get eighteen eyeshadows with a net weight of 19.7g in Matte (M), Reflective (R), Glitter (G), Pressed Pearl (PP) and Cream Base (CB) finishes.

·        Insane Pigmentation

·        Flatter any skin tone

·        Cruelty-Free

The following shades contain Plastic Glitter Particles; Excite and Infatuated. These shades are not intended for use around the immediate eye area as they can cause damage/blinding to your eyes.

 

MY THOUGHTS

·        Primer/Base - The eyeshadows are pigmented enough without a primer or base, but I would always layer one down. I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance and Too Faced Glitter Glue.

·        Pigmentation - The pigmentation is ok, but building is required with some of the matte shades. The metallics are ok and the glitters are not bad when applied over glitter glue. I wouldn’t say the pigmentation is insane, like it is advertised to be!

·        Application (wet/dry) - The eyeshadows can be applied wet or dry. I always use mattes dry, unless I am applying them to my lower lash line or using them as eyeliner. The cream/metallics/glitters are best applied with your finger, wet or dry.

·        Blending - The mattes blend ok, but a lot of the colours look the same when blended out.

·        Kick-Back - Obviously, there is always going to be kick-back in your eyeshadow pans as you are disturbing powders. The kick-back was not a concern or issue for me in this particular palette.

·        Fallout - I didn’t notice any fallout with the cream, matte or metalli shades, but you will get slight fallout with the two glitters. A very tacky glitter glue is a necessity!

 

I was so excited to try out this palette, but I was left slightly disappointed by it. The shades are very light and mauvy toned and all look the same when blended out. The pigmentation is just above average, but blending was effortless. I’m not sure if the shades really flatter any skin tone as Lace and Secret were too light for me and barely showed up. You do have to build up the lighter matte shades quite a bit too. I really don’t get the cream base shade. It is very thin and sheer, but it can work as a base but I wouldn’t trust it without primer anyway. The metallic sort of shades were just not metallic enough. They look kind of magical and molten in the pans, but this definitely does not transfer to the eyes. I’m not overly keen on pressed glitters and I have tried better and more inexpensive pressed glitters before. I really dislike when brands overly mix up formulas in one palette. My favourite shade is Daydream. Overall, this palette is great for a natural look, but it just isn’t my vibe!

 

You can purchase the HUDA BEAUTY The New Nude Palette for £56.00 ($65.00) from HudaBeauty.com.

Tarte Tartelette Tease Palette

I saw this advertised last year and I have been interested in the full sized Tartelette palettes before, but couldn’t really justify buying one (plus I couldn’t find anywhere in the UK that sold them). I thought getting this little ‘tease’ would introduce me to the brand, plus the shades look very appealing. This palette is described as being the “pocket-perfect version” of the original Tartelette palette. I thought it would be slightly bigger, but it is actually pocket sized. It is a similar size to the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palettes, but it is shorter in length and slightly wider. It’s overall layout is landscape with a length of 9.7cm and width of 5.8cm. It is made of cardboard and has a pink, purple and gold theme. The lid of the palette is magnetised and you lift it up to reveal the eyeshadows. It also has a small mirror on the reverse side of the lid and the eyeshadow pans are laid out in two rows of three shades. The pans are rectangular in shape and the shades n...

Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte Darling Easy Eye Palette

I have another Charlotte Tilbury palette post for you today; I have been on a roll with them! You can definitely tell I am a fan of her eyeshadow formula. There are loads of other CT products I would love to try, but I am slowing down the purchases for now as I do have a confession to make at the end of this post! THE PACKAGING The packaging is made of shiny maroon plastic and it has a short, thin and rectangular shape. It has a metallic gold starburst design across the front. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the rectangular eyeshadow pans arranged in threes across a mirrored gold base. The group names are printed on the back of the palette. The shades don’t really have names, but there is a removable plastic insert included which labels the eyeshadows as 1 Prime, 2 Enhance or 3 Smoke. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get six 0.9g eyeshadows in Matte (M) and Metallic (ME) finishes.   ·    ...

Lauren Luke Set of 8 Essential Brushes

I have had this brush set for close to two years now and I can’t believe that it has taken me so long to review it. This brush set is by Lauren Luke and she wanted to create brushes that she would use herself and be well made, but not too expensive. When I bought my set the shipping cost was £1.99 (UK), but it may have changed. Large Powder Brush – £6.50 This brush is supposed to be brilliant for applying foundation, bronzer, blush and highlighter. The bristles are 185mm in length and made of goat hair. This is one of my favourite brushes from the set and it is jam packed with bristles, but it is so soft!  It is the perfect size too, because the head is relatively large but the shorter handle makes it sit well. It works well for any powder product and for sweeping away fall out from eyeshadows. The bristles enable you to pick up quite a bit of product, so if you are using colour don’t be heavy handed. I do not recommend using it for cream based products as it can...
