I think that the target audience for this palette--folks that are afraid of color, don't use it very often, or don't want a lot of sparkle and shine--will really enjoy it. For folks who regularly and (now) prefer the razzle dazzle and intensity of indie shimmers and multichromes, this palette is not for us. And that's OK. I have the pastel palette from PIMBY and that's enough for me. I definitely think this this was a smart choice for the ND brand. Now if only Pat...anyway, thanks for your review.
You nailed it! I am not afraid of colour or sparkle or shine (love it) but I AM definitely the target customer as I am also not the one leaning into these intense indy brands - but I enjoy the concepts of the indy eyeshadow. As for Pat, her mattes are just tooooo dark for my fair skin! But I try anyway :) love her sparkle.
I looked up the palette from PIMBY and if I used that on my very fair skin it would lean more bright neon. It would work great for medium to darker skin tones though to be a true pastel without being chalky. I received my ND pastel palette and did a look today and it is true pastels on my skin with great payoff. I like softer looks. I love it!
It totally makes sense for them, and I mentioned it’s not my preference of eyeshadow. But regardless if people want a wash of color they can get it for much cheaper from other brands. I think PMG will release 50 more pink palettes before they ever touch blue or purple 🤣
I really appreciate your honest reviews. I have all but given up on mainstream brands because of the very things you point out in your videos. Thank you for helping us make better decisions about where we invest our beauty budgets! 🥰❤️💄
I love wearing colour but I’m now in my forties and indie brands just look too much on my eyes. You have to remember that Natasha is older and has said she makes palettes that contain ingredients that flatter the older eye. Thank you for the comparisons it makes it clear whether this palette is right for the individual or not.
You read my mind too! I love colour and sparkle but in my 40s I just don't feel it suits the activities I do daily :) It's taken me a while to realize this though!
I totally agree with this, what bugged me was the price vs quality I’ve seen some really beautiful pastel shades that are subtle and to charge that much for shades that are already in other palettes, I just think it’s a little pricey for what your getting I guess 🥺
I don't find her formula looks any better on my eyes than any other of my brands drugstore or high end and I have quite dry and hooded eyes.. If all her mattes can be patchy and I have nicer mattes elsewhere. There is different levels of pigmentation in drugstore and with indie brands too and better blendability... No need to pay her prices
I did touch on the fact that Im not the target audience. But also she only seems to use younger models? Specifically for the launch of this palette, it was all editorial pastel looks on 20~ year old models. You can get washes of color from other brands for much cheaper
I am actually not a ND fan. I have the retro palette and a few others and honestly I never use them. I have pastel pup, I have all of terra moons eyeshadows including the pastel, beauty bay pastel palette, bernovich, and list goes on so I don't need this palette. I rarely use any of my mainstream palettes honestly. My indie brands give me all I need and Blow mainstream shimmers completely away. That being said u still pulled out some awesome looks today!!! Congrats on the 12k!!! Im so proud for u!!! Whoop whoop! 7k was so yesterday!!!!
BTW, the multichrome is described as "NEW formula: a vibrant translucent multichrome that can be worn alone or as an illuminating topcoat" So it wasn't supposed to be subtle, certainly not powdery.
I haven't picked it up and I shan't lol - I could see immediately that this isn't coming close to my Pastel Roses, Glam Shop and Lethal shadows - thanks for trying it out for us though:)
I have some ND palettes and the cream to powders are usually deeper in the pan, and ND has mentioned this when talking about her palettes - of course I would prefer if they looked consistent! I do really like the cream to powders because they are so blendable and powder shadows build really well with them. I really want this palette, it is much more accessible to those US indie brands as I am in the UK and shipping is so high from the US to here and some don't offer it. I know this palette isn't to your preference but I thought your looks looked sooo pretty and flattering on you and I still want to get the palette!
Her cream to powder rarely builds up to pan for me -- I noticed it especially in Retro which is majority cream to powder. I love her standard creamy matte formula so much and didn't realize she had put cream to powder in Pastel. It definitely feels like an odd choice to me. I like her deeper cream to powder shades because that makes them very approachable, easy to use, and minimizes fallout. All these things don't really apply to pastels, which need to be more opaque and pigmented. Sure hope I like mine when it arrives tomorrow 😁 I have been really let down by every single pastel indie palette I tried except Pastel Pup and Fun Sized (which isn't super pastel) and ND Pastel really ticked all my boxes.
Try the beautybay brand pastel palette. And the BH "lost in los angeles", you might like it!! It's really nice Do not understimate bh cosmetics, (at least while Revolution makeup hasnt ruined the formula and the joy of bh yet)
I appreciate how this palette is truly pastel. I think some pastel palettes lean more into brights but I understand that works better for all skin tones due to color payoff. For example, the Glamlite Ice Cream Dream Palette. However, I am very fair skinned and appreciate the light wash of color for a softer look. Mine is arriving today and I can’t wait to try it out. I do have some indie brand pastel palettes like Creepy Cute that I love, but there’s always room for more pastels in my collection!
Thank you for reviewing this palette. I was in the fence about this. I trust your reviews because I seem to love the palettes you love and dislike the ones you dislike. I adore the Red Giant shade from Terra Moons and they do it best! You rock! 💜 Hadassah Side note I’ve seen a few “women in their forties” who like this palette and that’s awesome for them. I’m 47 and I still love indie brands, sparkle, metallics, glitter, and multichromes. I just didn’t want all women in their 40’s to be put in that box. 💜
I've never had a faster NOPE when looking at a palette lol I like pastels sometimes to blend out other colorful looks.. but thats it. One 10 dollar pastel palette is good enough for a lifetime
Yeah I already knew it wasn't going to be for me, now if she had made the Circo Loco in a $65 version I would have grabbed both because these would be blending colors.
This palette looks so pretty to me! I like and prefer lighter shades and shades that don't have such a heavy pigment load. Of course, I'm a 54-year-old lady. LOL Thank for your beautiful eye looks! Inspirational! XOXO Heidi
I've been wanting a pastel palette, but I wanted to wait and watch some videos on this one. I believe I'll get either pastel pup or ice cream dream. Indie always makes me happier than mainstream when it comes to eyeshadows. Thank you for a great review and saving me $!💕
I completely understand your point of view. For me the Glamlite Ice Cream palette is a nice mix of pastel and depth so that’s one I go more for. I also think the shimmers in this one work way better with a damp brush. Great review!
I have gone back and forth on this palette, and I already own Glamlite Ice Cream Dream. You just helped me finally make up my mind that I don’t need this!
i don’t have either yet but was debating btw both 🤣. i think i want this for the sheerness bc of my work environment and then maybe i can acclimate to glamlite after..
thank u Milly, im a pastel lover and i got so excited when i saw this palette, i really thought it was going to be my 1st ND palette BUT listening to your review i think it wont b coming home with me and in my little collection. love Alli x
Honestly there’s so many great formulas out there and a lot of great indie pastels that show up on my skin tone. Looking at that peach and pink on you, that would be lost on my eyes. Disappointing but at least I’ll save my coin 🪙 💜
I just want to say that the quality (actual footage and the content) of this video was spectacular. As a pretty new subscriber to your channel, this video truly helped me decide whether or not I am going to pick up this palette. Being able to see how each shadow performs was so important, because swatches don’t really tell me as much. Great work!
I was debating whether to get this or not and after seeing your comparisons and hearing your feedback..I'm glad I didnt tbh. The duo and multichrome shades were drawing me in but they weren't blowing me away like Odens eyes (collab) palettes or my other fave indie brands. This is why so many people are buying from indie brands now instead of main brands 🙌 Thanks for your honesty as always.
Lol they all kinda look like transparent pastels if that's a thing 🤭 it's just a whisssssper of color . If that's your vibe than I guess it could be great to someone out there 🤭😬
I really like ND’s shimmers but I cannot for the life of me make the cream to powders work, I’ve seen them perform really well with natural hair brushes but I only have synthetic hair ones. The looks you come up with are always so pretty to look at, I really enjoy how creative you are with colour :3 (also, I will need to watch this again to hear your thoughts on it because I am watching this at work xD)
If I hear there's a cream to powder formula in her palette then I don't buy it. I just don't like that formula from her. And for the price of her palettes I'd want to like every shade in them.
Your looks are gorgeous 💝as usual. Initially I was so drawn to the packaging and the way shades are arranged- just so pleasing on the eyes, I was planning to pick it up. However after watching a few review videos, I decided to give up. I’m not big on pastels and I love depth.
I was looking forward to this palette but now I won't be getting it. Thank you for your review and comparisons. Maybe I'll go for the glamlite ice cream or the creepy cute or the BH one.
I think I will buy this palette but not for personal use - I like my Pastel Pup, Creepy Cute, and Too Cute palettes so much more. Hopefully ND will release a cute Mini Palette so I can swap out some shades. It really makes me wish Circo Loco and Triochrome palettes were the same size grrrr. That 1st look was really cute BTW!
Your review is super helpful. I really just wanted to know if it was good quality. I have a few pastels scattered throughout my palettes, and I think I will stick with them for now. I am interested in the Creepy Cute, and Pastel Pups palettes, though.
Thank you for this review. I have been planning to make my own dupe of it with some of her other shades and other indies and stuff. I think I have better versions of these colours!
In my country this ND pastel palette will be the cheapest pastel palette when it releases. The only other palette I can think of in oz that is kind of pastel is Huda Beauty mercy retrograde. So I am excited for this release. As much as I wish I could explore indi brands the shipping alone can cost about the price of a palette.
This is actually the forth time they've used Mint Frost and Limoncello! They were also in the Jubilee palette that was a boxycharm exclusive. I'm definitely passing on this palette. It's way to light for my dark skin. You can barely get some shades to show up, I know it would be pointless for me to try.
Thanks Mili, great video as always. I put together this palette from my lethal cosmetics and glam shop singles. Don't plan to buy it - I already have it 🤣
I really like all your looks. I’m not one that uses pastels all that much and honestly think I’m getting a bit old for them. So I like that they are a bit toned down. If I was younger like you I would want more color pay off but at my age I feel I could use this and it wouldn’t look to bad on me.
I’m cleaning out my garage, so I’ve got to wait to watch this video Millie.. but I’ve been fighting myself about buying this darn palette! Your video is prob going to save me $$!! I’ve got pastel pup, the GMG pastel singles, AND the palette, and the glamlite ice cream and cake.. I think you’re going to save me $65 plus bucks! Love you! Lol 😂 your videos always do! I’ll be back to watch it in a few!
Ahhh now im a little bummed... im hoping I will still like this palette... I jumped on it and got it for my birthday to myself... i do agree I love my creepy cute so far the pigmentation is so amazing for pastels!
I had a feeling that this palette wasn’t going to be that good because pastels don’t seem like they are the easiest to formulate. The creepy cute is my #1 favorite. I’m passing on this and will be using my pastel palettes that I already own since spring is here.
Thank you SO MUCH for reviewing this because I was so so curious about this palette as a pastel goblin but omg I am actually shocked with how it performed on you, definitely not going to be getting it now. It wouldn't fit my style at all!
i think it's cute but i have pastels that i enjoy. and pastels for anyone not light like you can be difficult to make work. your first look for the mattes is def something you could achieve with the sugarpill game palette (the first one) and bring in a blue pink shimmer from any brand. this might be good for people who don't own a lot of makeup or who are wary of buying from indies but not for people who are already buying small indies and are adventurous with makeup
Ok, you’ve talked me out of it. I’ve been stalking everything to do with this palette since the leak. Specifically, I wanted to use this as singles but now I’m certain I’ll be disappointed 😭😭
As much as I like ND, I know this is not for me either. I have so many beautiful pastels from indie brands, I know I can easily dupe it. It's pretty clear I wouldn't be satisfied with the quality. It's a let down, but I guess it's for the best - money saved! 🙃
i don’t own a pastel palette and i wanted to start with the BH “lost in los angeles” palette, but it’s sold out everywhere i’ve checked. i’ve been dyinggg to try ND, but this palette is not the one i want to start with. i truly appreciate this video. i knew that i wasn’t going to get it, but i watch allllll of your videos because i love the looks you always create. 💜💜💜
BH is popping up a lot in TJ Maxx right now, I think I've seen it there a couple of times! If you cant find it there maybe you could find it on something like Mercari or Depop?
@@beanieweenie3715 i’m fresh out of surgery so i’m stuck at home for a few more months, and i wish i could go to tj because i’ve heard people have been seeing a lot of bh, including the sweet shoppe palettes that i’ve always wanted. thank you so much for letting me know. i appreciate you. 🥰🥰🥰
How are the mattes from Terra Moons? I’ve read that they are wonderful and also some really negative reviews. Are they pretty powdery like some of the Devinah mattes?
@@badtothebrow I haven’t tried any Menagerie yet. I wanted the Flight Club forever but could never get it when it restocked. I have so many purples now, I’ll take a look at Pastel Pup instead. Thanks!
Ooh this was really helpful. Put me right off it haha I already own Ray from clionadh and that's close enough and better probably Shame as I love pastels :/
ND is just two years too late. How many people have at least one pastel palette? Or multiples? Between my Fun Size Palette and Pastel Dreams, I'm more than set.
For a brand that has been a lot of ppl's No1 for eyeshadow, and been around for so long AND has very expensive palettes along with liquid shadows, NDs shiftier shades continue to be lacklustre. Now the whole product is lacklustre🙄. She not keeping up with indie brands and as far as luxury but she has luxury pricing? I think some ppl are of the mind that if theyre gonna buy luxury shadows, they want it to *look* expensive (charlotte tilbury/tom ford/by terry/some nars). If they're more concerned with quality and excitement, they'll go indie. If they want both... Pat :/ If it weren't for ND's matte formula and convenient minis, she'd have lost a lot of her previously ride-or-die fans. At this point some fave palettes are gone 😪
I’ve watched quite a few influencers say “it’s not for me” - like every single one of my fav channels. 👀 That speaks volumes. Complete waste of money according to me, buy BH cosmetics pastel palette for a quarter of the price or blend bunny’s - both 10000 times better than this cash grab. I said it…. 😬 sorry, not sorry.
After seeing the 1st swatches from her I knew it was a pass I would be disappointed exp after how much of a letdown retro was for me. I am just Indie girl she is gonna have to come out with something diff to get me to buy right now. I do wish she would release more colors of her liquid multichromes I love that formula
Oh my gosh 😫 a “trio chrome” it’s an iridescent shimmer at best, how on earth can you justify the cost of this palette??? You have repeated shades, patchy formula and mediocre shimmers, such a shame I thought this looked very nice but yeah it’s a pass!!! Beautiful looks Milly I’m sorry the formula let you down 😞😱😫
I totally agree. It’s a definite no from me too. I just picked up the Druid palette lol way better choice for me to hand over my money plus I have a few awesome pastel palettes already. Those supposed“trio chromes” in this palette are almost embarrassing.
@@emy_themua2015 if you like grungey colours, I received the 669 palette today and omg 😳 💥🙌🙌🙌 it’s grunge heaven no joke, so creamy, dark and vampy. If you like grungey dark sexy tones it’s the one to get. I got it on recommendation from Nikki Raven. Packaging is sick.
Why tf didn't she just do a Pastel mini?? She could've put in all the best of what we know ND can do and if ppl were like they were with mini retro, then give us with a midi. Of all the times to do a mini, it was now😂 her brand just seems out of step with what ppl want. Maybe she needs her team to do more market research?
I think that the target audience for this palette--folks that are afraid of color, don't use it very often, or don't want a lot of sparkle and shine--will really enjoy it. For folks who regularly and (now) prefer the razzle dazzle and intensity of indie shimmers and multichromes, this palette is not for us. And that's OK. I have the pastel palette from PIMBY and that's enough for me. I definitely think this this was a smart choice for the ND brand. Now if only Pat...anyway, thanks for your review.
You nailed it!

Yeah this is why I haven’t bought from mainstream brands in a while, when it comes to eyeshadow palettes I know I would just end up disappointed
I love wearing colour but I’m now in my forties and indie brands just look too much on my eyes. You have to remember that Natasha is older and has said she makes palettes that contain ingredients that flatter the older eye.

You read my mind too! I love colour and sparkle but in my 40s I just don't feel it suits the activities I do daily :) It's taken me a while to realize this though!
Would be interesting to see if these formulas are more flattering on mature eyes
I totally agree with this, what bugged me was the price vs quality I’ve seen some really beautiful pastel shades that are subtle and to charge that much for shades that are already in other palettes, I just think it’s a little pricey for what your getting I guess 🥺

BTW, the multichrome is described as "NEW formula: a vibrant translucent multichrome that can be worn alone or as an illuminating topcoat"
So it wasn't supposed to be subtle, certainly not powdery.
Vibrant, HA!
So grateful for your honest review. I’ve been so back and forth on getting this palette
I like the looks, but totally agree with you about this palette. It would be so cool if you make a video comparing better palettes with this one
I did some comparisons of eyeshadows from other brands in the video
I haven't picked it up and I shan't lol - I could see immediately that this isn't coming close to my Pastel Roses, Glam Shop and Lethal shadows - thanks for trying it out for us though:)
💯💯

The Creepy Cute palette is pretty hard to beat for quality pastels imo. Give me Glow too!
Creepy Cute it great for sure!
Thank you Milly. Your lipstick is so pretty on you. You confirmed my thoughts on this pallet.
Thank you!
Thank you for being so honest Milly... So appreciate you

It also fades and creases like crazy on me. I regret getting metropolis. Even tho it's my absolute dream color story
Do you experience that too?
Try the beautybay brand pastel palette. And the BH "lost in los angeles", you might like it!! It's really nice
Do not understimate bh cosmetics, (at least while Revolution makeup hasnt ruined the formula and the joy of bh yet)
have you tried glamlite’s ice cream dream yet? if this palette ends up being too sheer i wonder if you’d like that version
Always appreciate your honesty!!
I appreciate how this palette is truly pastel. I think some pastel palettes lean more into brights but I understand that works better for all skin tones due to color payoff. For example, the Glamlite Ice Cream Dream Palette. However, I am very fair skinned and appreciate the light wash of color for a softer look. Mine is arriving today and I can’t wait to try it out.

I completely agree! I wish they had made. Circo a midi! I still long for it but that price point.... Yikes.
Same! Idk why that palette was the larger version
I am 49 and pale, and this is plenty of color and shine for me. I thought your 4 looks were beautiful.
So glad I waited for your review before buying!
This palette looks so pretty to me! I like and prefer lighter shades and shades that don't have such a heavy pigment load. Of course, I'm a 54-year-old lady. LOL Thank for your beautiful eye looks! Inspirational! XOXO Heidi
For the price, you can get lighter shades from
other brands for less!
@@badtothebrow probably! I have the BH Lost in Los Angeles plus the Laura Lee pastels palette. I don’t NEED this.
I like blend bunny pastels and shroud cosmetics for pastels. Even other brands are not that underwhelming for pastels.
I've been wanting a pastel palette, but I wanted to wait and watch some videos on this one. I believe I'll get either pastel pup or ice cream dream. Indie always makes me happier than mainstream when it comes to eyeshadows. Thank you for a great review and saving me $!💕
I love the shape you make your outer corner with eyeshadow!
Thank you!0
I collect her midi palettes and don't have that many pastel shades so I'm glad I ordered it 🥰
I completely understand your point of view. For me the Glamlite Ice Cream palette is a nice mix of pastel and depth so that’s one I go more for. I also think the shimmers in this one work way better with a damp brush. Great review!
Once again Milly, you have come through for us for the comparison swatches we all wanted ❤
I’m a single shadow gal. Even if I don’t buy pallettes, these reviews are still helpful because I can recreate your looks with my own products.
Could you do a video with your favorite pastel shadows? A ranking perhaps?
Yes! I meant to do it last year and never got to it 😭
The second look reminds me of what I can get with the Maybelline Lemonade palette in terms of pigmentation 💀 🍋
very nice looks, love the first most.
When I saw the previews for this palette I rly thought I was gonna buy it. Thank u for helping me save some coin 💓
My takeaway from this was that I need to use my Pastel Pup palette more, thanks for saving me $$$ ❤️
💯 same I need to dip back into it
I have gone back and forth on this palette, and I already own Glamlite Ice Cream Dream. You just helped me finally make up my mind that I don’t need this!
I think you’re all good with the Ice Cream Dream! Lots of shades in there and Glam Lite shimmers are better than these 👀
i don’t have either yet but was debating btw both 🤣. i think i want this for the sheerness bc of my work environment and then maybe i can acclimate to glamlite after..
Thanks for the review Milly… super helpful! ❤️ I was not interested in this palette anyway, and now I def won’t have FOMO lol
💯🙌🏻
I adore your eyelooks🤩🤩🤩
when you applied starlet i just fell in love, can't seem to find a dupes list. thanks for your review!
I expexted this kind of review from you, I agree, there are indie brands beyond ND. Yet you look very pretty on it!
Thank you so much!
thank u Milly, im a pastel lover and i got so excited when i saw this palette, i really thought it was going to be my 1st ND palette BUT listening to your review i think it wont b coming home with me and in my little collection. love Alli x
I feel like some of ND’s previous palettes were better just all around regardless of color story
this video introduced me to a boatload of indie brands and now i need all their pastels 😂😂😅
Honestly there’s so many great formulas out there and a lot of great indie pastels that show up on my skin tone. Looking at that peach and pink on you, that would be lost on my eyes. Disappointing but at least I’ll save my coin 🪙 💜

Hopefully ND will release a cute Mini Palette so I can swap out some shades. It really makes me wish Circo Loco and Triochrome palettes were the same size grrrr.
That 1st look was really cute BTW!
Ugh I know I wish she only did this sized palettes
Your review is super helpful. I really just wanted to know if it was good quality.
I have a few pastels scattered throughout my palettes, and I think I will stick with them for now. I am interested in the Creepy Cute, and Pastel Pups palettes, though.
Those two palettes are great! Especially Pastel Pup, has some of my fave pastels
I've never had an issue getting opacity with ND shadows but I also use natural hair brushes.
I used natural brushes
Beautiful
Thank you for this review. I have been planning to make my own dupe of it with some of her other shades and other indies and stuff. I think I have better versions of these colours!
Yesss dupe it out!
In my country this ND pastel palette will be the cheapest pastel palette when it releases. The only other palette I can think of in oz that is kind of pastel is Huda Beauty mercy retrograde. So I am excited for this release. As much as I wish I could explore indi brands the shipping alone can cost about the price of a palette.
This is actually the forth time they've used Mint Frost and Limoncello! They were also in the Jubilee palette that was a boxycharm exclusive.
I'm definitely passing on this palette. It's way to light for my dark skin. You can barely get some shades to show up, I know it would be pointless for me to try.
Wow 4 times! Same shade, that’s a bit ridiculous
Thanks Mili, great video as always. I put together this palette from my lethal cosmetics and glam shop singles. Don't plan to buy it - I already have it 🤣
I really like all your looks. I’m not one that uses pastels all that much and honestly think I’m getting a bit old for them. So I like that they are a bit toned down. If I was younger like you I would want more color pay off but at my age I feel I could use this and it wouldn’t look to bad on me.
looks so nice on you… I wonder if anyone with gold tones or darker can wear it well
I’m cleaning out my garage, so I’ve got to wait to watch this video Millie.. but I’ve been fighting myself about buying this darn palette! Your video is prob going to save me $$!! I’ve got pastel pup, the GMG pastel singles, AND the palette, and the glamlite ice cream and cake.. I think you’re going to save me $65 plus bucks! Love you! Lol 😂 your videos always do! I’ll be back to watch it in a few!
Oh you are all covered with pastels with those palettes!
@@badtothebrow I saw a mock-up on ig that had me literally drooling! I thought it was real for a moment..and wished it was too.
Ahhh now im a little bummed... im hoping I will still like this palette... I jumped on it and got it for my birthday to myself... i do agree I love my creepy cute so far the pigmentation is so amazing for pastels!
I had a feeling that this palette wasn’t going to be that good because pastels don’t seem like they are the easiest to formulate. The creepy cute is my #1 favorite. I’m passing on this and will be using my pastel palettes that I already own since spring is here.
ps… i would love to know what your favorite brushes for applying shimmers to the lids are???
Thank you SO MUCH for reviewing this because I was so so curious about this palette as a pastel goblin but omg I am actually shocked with how it performed on you, definitely not going to be getting it now. It wouldn't fit my style at all!
I don’t remember what pastels you have in your arsenal but you’re def covered with the shimmers from indie brands 😉
Hi Molly I would have loved it if you compared this to the Ice cream palette by Glamlite... Thanks for your review 👍
I don’t have that palette 😀
i think it's cute but i have pastels that i enjoy. and pastels for anyone not light like you can be difficult to make work. your first look for the mattes is def something you could achieve with the sugarpill game palette (the first one) and bring in a blue pink shimmer from any brand. this might be good for people who don't own a lot of makeup or who are wary of buying from indies but not for people who are already buying small indies and are adventurous with makeup
There’s other mainstream brands with affordable pastel palettes!
Tbh even if these are sheer if they give a glitter over other shades and i can use em as top coats i will be happy.
Ok, you’ve talked me out of it. I’ve been stalking everything to do with this palette since the leak. Specifically, I wanted to use this as singles but now I’m certain I’ll be disappointed 😭😭
There are so many affordable pastel palettes options out there, save your coin!
As much as I like ND, I know this is not for me either. I have so many beautiful pastels from indie brands, I know I can easily dupe it. It's pretty clear I wouldn't be satisfied with the quality. It's a let down, but I guess it's for the best - money saved! 🙃
i don’t own a pastel palette and i wanted to start with the BH “lost in los angeles” palette, but it’s sold out everywhere i’ve checked. i’ve been dyinggg to try ND, but this palette is not the one i want to start with. i truly appreciate this video. i knew that i wasn’t going to get it, but i watch allllll of your videos because i love the looks you always create. 💜💜💜
BH is popping up a lot in TJ Maxx right now, I think I've seen it there a couple of times! If you cant find it there maybe you could find it on something like Mercari or Depop?
I find them at Ross, Marshall’s or TJ Maxx constantly!
@@beanieweenie3715 i’m fresh out of surgery so i’m stuck at home for a few more months, and i wish i could go to tj because i’ve heard people have been seeing a lot of bh, including the sweet shoppe palettes that i’ve always wanted. thank you so much for letting me know. i appreciate you. 🥰🥰🥰
@@biogirl1381 Ahhw I wish you a very good and speedy recovery! Hope you'll be able to find it and enjoy it if you do! (:
@@beanieweenie3715 thank you, lovie. 😘😘😘
Oh I forgot to add the blue look you did with the 2 shimmers those 2 put together look like lineage from clionadh
How are the mattes from Terra Moons? I’ve read that they are wonderful and also some really negative reviews. Are they pretty powdery like some of the Devinah mattes?
They’re extremely light and powdery. Out of all the pastels the Menagerie Pastel Pup pastels are my fave
@@badtothebrow I haven’t tried any Menagerie yet. I wanted the Flight Club forever but could never get it when it restocked. I have so many purples now, I’ll take a look at Pastel Pup instead. Thanks!
I'm like 99% limencello & mint frost were in the 5pan Jubilee that came in boxy last year too! What's up with that!? 🙃😬
They’re really trying to get rid of stock 🤣
What does hard panning mean and why does it happen? Is it most likely to happen with matte, shimmer/metallic etc or could be any combo?
Ooh this was really helpful. Put me right off it haha
I already own Ray from clionadh and that's close enough and better probably
Shame as I love pastels :/
Thank you for saving my wallet ❤️
ND is just two years too late. How many people have at least one pastel palette? Or multiples? Between my Fun Size Palette and Pastel Dreams, I'm more than set.
So true, I feel like pastels really blew up last year. But I think it will spill over to this year right when Spring starts
What pastel palette do you recommend?
I have the BH cosmetics pastel LA palette, so I definitely don’t need this one.
Well… at least I know I didn’t waste my money. There is no way that would show up on my medium-tan skin. 😬🤣
I don't think your biases I think you have had plenty of experience with a range of brands ur being honest
Thanks for the review !These look kinda dusty... and I will stick with my Terra moons pastel singles !
I'll stick to my BH Lost in Los Angeles palette.
Can you rank these?
For a brand that has been a lot of ppl's No1 for eyeshadow, and been around for so long AND has very expensive palettes along with liquid shadows, NDs shiftier shades continue to be lacklustre. Now the whole product is lacklustre🙄. She not keeping up with indie brands and as far as luxury but she has luxury pricing? I think some ppl are of the mind that if theyre gonna buy luxury shadows, they want it to *look* expensive (charlotte tilbury/tom ford/by terry/some nars). If they're more concerned with quality and excitement, they'll go indie. If they want both... Pat :/
If it weren't for ND's matte formula and convenient minis, she'd have lost a lot of her previously ride-or-die fans. At this point some fave palettes are gone 😪
Yup definitely not getting this. My ice cream dream palette and my terra moons singles satisfy my pastels cravings 🥰
💯
❤️❤️❤️
Poor quality for a lot of money no thanks... Thank you for your honest review 🤗
❤️❤️
👏👏👏
Waiting for my video to upload, and had to go watch other review on this... this is just bad imo too 😂
I’ve watched quite a few influencers say “it’s not for me” - like every single one of my fav channels. 👀 That speaks volumes.
Complete waste of money according to me, buy BH cosmetics pastel palette for a quarter of the price or blend bunny’s - both 10000 times better than this cash grab.
I said it…. 😬 sorry, not sorry.
I'm gonna skip this. I saw Morgan Turners review and she's so nice , it seemed like she struggled to be positive about this lol
After seeing the 1st swatches from her I knew it was a pass I would be disappointed exp after how much of a letdown retro was for me. I am just Indie girl she is gonna have to come out with something diff to get me to buy right now. I do wish she would release more colors of her liquid multichromes I love that formula
I really struggled with this palette. Definitely not for me.
Oh my gosh 😫 a “trio chrome” it’s an iridescent shimmer at best, how on earth can you justify the cost of this palette??? You have repeated shades, patchy formula and mediocre shimmers, such a shame I thought this looked very nice but yeah it’s a pass!!! Beautiful looks Milly I’m sorry the formula let you down 😞😱😫
Sorry for the rant but it’s the cost verses quality that irritates me 😭
I totally agree.
It’s a definite no from me too.
I just picked up the Druid palette lol way better choice for me to hand over my money plus I have a few awesome pastel palettes already.
Those supposed“trio chromes” in this palette are almost embarrassing.
@@welikegoodies ohh the Druid palette looks like a grungy dream let me know how you like it 🤩🙏🏼
@@emy_themua2015 will do, they shipped it within 24 hours too 🙌🙌🙌
@@emy_themua2015 if you like grungey
colours, I received the 669 palette today and omg 😳 💥🙌🙌🙌 it’s grunge heaven no joke, so creamy, dark and vampy. If you like grungey dark sexy tones it’s the one to get. I got it on recommendation from Nikki Raven.
Packaging is sick.
The palette wasn't for me either. This is the first nd palette I've ever returned.
This is the review I needed to not buy this palette. It’s just not worth the hype. Thank you.
If you can't use it it's definitely not for me.
Why tf didn't she just do a Pastel mini?? She could've put in all the best of what we know ND can do and if ppl were like they were with mini retro, then give us with a midi. Of all the times to do a mini, it was now😂 her brand just seems out of step with what ppl want. Maybe she needs her team to do more market research?
I bet she will do a mini of this in the future!
@@badtothebrow if it has Mint frost, I might be tempted, that shade is super pretty 😊
