HUDA BEAUTY Naughty Nude Palette

I first saw a teaser of this palette on Trendmood’s Instagram page towards the end of October, I wanted it instantly! It kind of reminds me of a bigger version of the HUDA BEAUTY Nude Obsessions Rich Palette, which I am now glad I didn’t purchase as I have this one.
THE PACKAGING
This is the second bigger palette from HUDA BEAUTY that is in the new plastic case packaging. It is made out of deep berry coloured plastic and has a rectangular shape. There is a printed rose gold raised font design with the palette name across the front. It has a clip closing, which you press and lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. There is a mirror on the underside of the lid and the small square eyeshadow pans are arranged on a translucent mauve plastic base. The shade names are printed in silver font under each shade.

You get eighteen 0.93g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Marble Cream (MC) and Gloss (G) finishes.

MY THOUGHTS
  • Primer/Base - The eyeshadows are pigmented enough without a primer or base, but I would always lay one down. I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance and Too Faced Glitter Glue.
  • Pigmentation - The pigmentation is gorgeous. The only disappointing shade is Slippery as there isn’t really any pigmentation.
  • 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. I sometimes apply metallics/shimmers wet, but it depends on the formula and whether they contain glitters. Wet application can max up the pigmentation and help prevent fallout.
  • Blending - The eyeshadows blended beautifully. All of the shades really complement each other.
  • 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 only noticed fallout from the metallic and glittery shades. Using a good tacky glitter glue will minimize it.
 
I posted about the HUDA BEAUTY New Nude Palette not long ago and I was left disappointed by it. This palette is a massive improvement and it is more my vibe with the warm shades. The shade selection is stunning and they do blend like a dream. The shades Passion, Hard, Flower Power and Provocative all look kind of marbled in the pans, but their finishes are different. Passion, Flower Power and Provocative have a glossy and glitter finish, where as Hard is a glossy sort of matte. The only disappointing shades for me are Filthy, Flower Power and Slippery. Filthy is too soft/light for my skin tone, but I did blend it with some of the brown matte shades and you see the pink hue. Flower Power barely has any base pigment and it is just too subtle on my skin tone. I thought it would make a good inner corner highlighter shade, but I could barely see it. Slippery is just strange. It has the consistency of Vaseline and there is no base pigment. It is supposed to look like a glossy berry shade, but mine just looks like a dirty pink tinted Vaseline. It may be because mine doesn’t have enough bronze and berry pearls encapsulated in it! It also kind of removes your powder eyeshadow if you try to apply it over the top of one. My favourite shades are Passion, Shameless and Desire. Overall, I do recommend this palette. It is not the best warm neutral palette I have tried. I am still in love with the Natasha Denona Bronze Palette, so it is hard for any other warm neutral palette to beat it for me! I can’t wait to continue using this palette, but I really do not get where they were going with the Slippery shade. I felt the same about the cream shade Concealer in the New Nude Palette.

KALEIDOS Futurism VI: Lunar Lavender Palette

This is my second KALEIDOS palette and I bought it from the same Depop seller as last time. I also purchased the Futurism I: Sci-Fi Green and Futurism VII: Sashimi City Palettes, reviews on those will be coming soon. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a long thin rectangle shape and the concept reminds me of a wardrobe. There is a purple, pink and rose gold coral (the reef kind) and cloud theme all over the packaging. It has a magnetic closing and you open up the left side first and then the right side to reveal the circular eyeshadow pans and long thin mirror inside. The outside theme continues to the inside, but the colours are lilac, pink, peach and orange with rose gold. The eyeshadow names come printed on a plastic sheet. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get six 1.33g eyeshadows/pressed pigments in Matte (M), Duo-Chrome (DC) and Shimmer (S) finishes.   ·          Rich and Velvety Texture ·          Smo...

Oden's Eye Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette

I first heard of this indie brand through watching Angelika Oles’ beauty channel on YouTube. Oden’s Eye is a Swedish indie brand and they make Norse mythology themed products. This is one of two eyeshadow palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching highlighter palettes.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and rectangular in shape. It is made out of cardboard and it has a sort of textured covering (like on pogs). The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Solmåne means the sun and moon in Swedish. Sol represents the Sun Goddess and Måne represents the Moon God. Both Gods are represented on the packaging. There is a colour split of warm and cool toned shades (lavender, pink, orange & yellow) along with moon, star and Norse symbols. The wheel around the Gods is metallic gold, so it really reflects the light when you move the palette around. The eyeshadow shade names are printed on the back of the palette. The palette has a magnetic closing/opening, ...

Empties #10 - August & September 2013

I have combined two month’s worth of empties again. At the end of August my box wasn’t that full, so I decided to carry on collecting and hope I use up more stuff. The majority of stuff I used up was necessities as usual, but there are some extra bits too. Here is what I managed to use up within two months:- Morrisons So Clear Dual Action Moisturiser | 100ml I have used another tube of this and have already re-purchased it. It works really well and doubles as a hand cream and most importantly, it is very inexpensive. Price - £1.49 Listerine Total Care Mouthwash in Clean Mint (Purple) | 500ml This is my favourite mouthwash and I have already re-purchased it. Although I get it for around £2.99, I still wish it was cheaper. Price - £4.60 Right Guard Women Total Defence 5 48H Invisible Power Anti-Perspirant Deodorant | 150ml + 250ml I have used more of these as usual and I still haven’t found anything that is better. I have however found a cheaper place to buy it f...
