I am excited for your reviews no matter how "late" they are. Your back of hand swatches are so helpful and have become one of my favourite parts of your reviews, and I trust your opinion when it comes to formula - I watch your videos for you! Plus, your lighting is exceptional. I really feel like I can see the palette and shades as true-to-colour as possible in your videos. Thank you so much!!
I was just coming to say that. The hand swatches give so much better context to the shade colour and performance but it is also helpful up the arm to see the colour story. Wish more people would do the hand swatches. So helpful.
Nice review, I just bought it in the relaunch! I definitely agree that this palette does not cater to darker skin tones, as the majority of the beauty industry doesn’t. That being said, I think not every palette needs to cater to everyone, as long as there are different palettes available that are made for darker skin. That way everyone gets more worth for their money, since they can actually use all shades in the palette. It would then be similar to how we have both warm and cool toned palettes. Some can be both, but not all need to be.
Got this palette recently and Im so happy to have stumbled across this video/channel!!! Super informative and the sparkle shades are like no other ones ive ever owned
I do really like this look but I agree that you can definitely get something similar with Moonlit Seduction so I will probably pass on this palette. Thank you for the honesty as always, and great look inspo today!
Hahaha omg I deleted all the bots that replied to you lol that was random! Also I understand passing on this, if I had my time again I would pass too 💗💗
Now this is a nuetral look I would wear paired with a deep red lip! Sooo pretty! I do agree, I feel that there should be a deep brown matte or a black for sure to add depth.
I didn’t know it was a limited edition palette. I had planned on buying it next year. I have so many beautiful neutral palettes. I am trying hard to work through my collection. I would have bought next year, but I just can’t do it now. It isn’t the price. It is the volume of palettes in my collection. I want it for those toppers. I will have to be satisfied with my own collection.
Hi sweetie. How are you my darling. I actually didnt get much at the Sephora sale but I tell you what I did get, woo hoo I got a Pat intensifies stick. They have just released at Sephora Australia and I think I got one, coz they sold out immediately and i'm still waiting for my order. So fingers crossed.I actually can't wait to try it because of how good you say it is. xoxo
it s the same for the european people = 108 euros IT S VERY EXPANSIVE for us !! the mothership are less expensive with sold and we don't pay for shipping !! And the shimer don't fall during the day ! sorry for my english
The reason I went ahead and picked this up is for the ease of it, just pop a matte in the crease with one of the shimmers and your good !! I did have to choose between this or the TF Rose Topaz, have to get the TF next lol
$130 AUD plus shipping is just so much more compared to the USD price exchanged - such a markup and then with shipping it puts it on par to PML sale prices almost. I assume you paid shipping as it doesn’t seem to be at Sephora Aus. I would rather PML or even go the other way by getting UD space cowboy for so much less to pair with my existing palettes.
This is a beautiful palette. I was initially captivated and now, less but appreciate it exists. I no longer feel the need to own and enjoy it. Lol, when you said if you have Glaminatrix nearly natural palette, you don't need this......because I forgot I pre-ordered it till you said it's name😂😂😂. I was like 😲forgot I bought that palette and don't have it yet 😅. Love the look you created. Loving the Taupe vibe.
Ok, I am 100% sure this is not going to be a widely shared opinion. I normally can’t use the majority of deep dark shades in eyeshadow palettes, due to my aging eyes mainly, and I just don’t think it looks good to have a smoky eye anymore. So if I can only use two or three shades in a palette I give it a pass. I haaate the Natasha Denona cream to powder formula because what looks like a pale shade comes out several shades darker on the eye. 😢 so when the very rare palette launches that has mostly fair to medium shades, mind you with a very good quality, I grab it! I really appreciate that Sydney Grace makes two versions of the same color story, one fair/light and the other medium/deep. That is so amazingly great, sensible, and respectful!! I wish other eyeshadow makers would do the same!! Makeup by Mario could have launched at the same time an alternate version of this shadow story in a medium/deep tone. Don’t you think people would have lost their minds with happiness? It really would have made quite a splash don’t you think? A missed opportunity and they deserve criticism. But I am so happy to finally have an eyeshadow palette that will work for me because I would not have purchased this if 50-80% of the shades were unusable deep smoky tones. Like Viseart as one example, there is not even one palette of theirs I would purchase, nor PML. :-/ Thank you for this gorgeous look, Martina!
I’ve just watched Amanda Z’s video on this palette and she said the mattes are too dry and they emphasise skin texture. But she says that’s probably because she has dry lids
Something about this palette that just didn’t grab me so I passed considering the price…. Damn good mattes however I would rather have a TF cream quad but yeah that’s me ,)
However I did pick it up instead of the TF because it’s an LE edition and I do feel once gone it will be gone which is not the case with all of the “Limited edition releases”, but will pick up the TF next
Curiosity, I am new to your channel and I watched a few of your videos and heard you say a few times you won't put liner because you are working, but why?? Is it that bad to wear liner in the travelling industry? I work in health domain and personally I cannot care less about what nurses and doctors may think! ;) I like your videos so far and your personality too!!
Oh no haha My company would not care at all. It just irritates my eyes if I'm looking at a computer all day for some reason so I don't put it on. And thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy them
To be honest…it looks a bit like a Tarte palette. Which is not a dunk, but it does mean I can dupe a condensed version of this with some Sydney Grace singles.
If I think about this palette in isolation, I think it’s really pretty and that I would like it, but if I think about it and the eyeshadow I already own, I think I do not need and am not going to buy it.
So sad you'd think in this day cosmetics companies would be more inclusive..I too will be passing on this but it's still fun to get inspiration from Martina

I'm so confused by these bot replies... is it because I said inspo? 🤔 Is that a bot trigger word? Lol 😆
Hahaha omg I deleted all the bots that replied to you lol that was random! Also I understand passing on this, if I had my time again I would pass too 💗💗
@@MartinaLily I was highly entertained by it, I got so many great ideas on how to invest in my future 🤣🤣
I was so excited and couldn’t wait for this palette to arrive to Australia. Now it’s here, it’s like, yeah nah. Prefer Glaminatrix. ❤
Wearing mine again today, third day in a row. So easy, wearable, and so very pretty. Your look is perfection! Everything works so well together!
Makeup by Mario is really growing on me! Great go to products for a sophisticated look!!
That look is everything!!!!
I love your swathes ❤
Now this is a nuetral look I would wear paired with a deep red lip! Sooo pretty! I do agree, I feel that there should be a deep brown matte or a black for sure to add depth.
Oh yes definitely deserves a red lip! 💗💗💗
I love love love this palette!
Wearing this today. I really like it.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE all your videos, especially these kind of series :)

This is true it is very easy to use and create a look. Ohhh you know my love for rose topaz 😍 haha 💗💗💗
@@MartinaLily Girl we are twin souls when it comes to make up ,)
I wanted this but at £93 nope pat mcgrath x palette I got £20 cheaper don’t think so mario
thanks for the review! haha DO NOT need this, happy with everything already
Thank you so Ryan! I really appreciate it 💗💗💗

Hahaha I love that you forgot you ordered it. I think you will find the glaminatrix one so much more beautiful for sure 🙌🏼💗💗💗
I skipped on this one but she sure is a stunner 🤩
I think its a valid skip haha 💗💗💗
I just snapped the Moonlit seduction today as it was 30% off from her website. Your look is stunning!
Oh yay! That is amazing!! 💗💗💗
Hey Martina. As a black woman, when brands make palettes that clearly gives the bird to black women, I permanently write them off lol
I feel like this is completely valid and understandable but also something you shouldn't have to do in 2022 💗💗💗

How did you get your hands on this if you’re in Australia?? 😱
It is available on his website, but is expensive 🤨
I bought it from his website directly 💗💗
I’ve just watched Amanda Z’s video on this palette and she said the mattes are too dry and they emphasise skin texture. But she says that’s probably because she has dry lids
Yes I just watched hers too. I don't have super lids so maybe that's why they didnt do it to me but I get what she is saying for sure 💗💗💗
Something about this palette that just didn’t grab me so I passed considering the price…. Damn good mattes however I would rather have a TF cream quad but yeah that’s me ,)
I completely agree and support this choice! haha 💗💗💗
However I did pick it up instead of the TF because it’s an LE edition and I do feel once gone it will be gone which is not the case with all of the “Limited edition releases”, but will pick up the TF next
I am more interested by the new palettes of Lisa Eldridge than the mario one🤔I hope you will get at least one for a video 🥰
Yes! I bought two of them haha so will have a video as soon as I get em 💗💗💗

To be honest…it looks a bit like a Tarte palette. Which is not a dunk, but it does mean I can dupe a condensed version of this with some Sydney Grace singles.
Oh yeah thats so true! haha 💗💗💗
Yup, I definitely do own all of these shadows somewhere. Pretty as it is, I will not be buying this. AND Lisa launches tomorrow, so…. 😄💄👁
Yes! I bought two lisa palettes haha 💗💗💗
@@MartinaLily I bought four… and I don’t have a beauty channel to justify it 😄 Would you share which ones you got or is that a surprise for later ☺️?
jeffree star has similar shades in his wedding pallet. So im gonna pass on this.
If I think about this palette in isolation, I think it’s really pretty and that I would like it, but if I think about it and the eyeshadow I already own, I think I do not need and am not going to buy it.
Agreed! 💗💗💗
Happy Thursday! Fyi the financial scam bots are all in the comments today. I reported about 20 of them.
Thank you! They are so annoying. I just reported 16 🤦♀🤦♀💗💗
Another makeup by Mario I’ll be passing on because like most of his products it’s not made for my complexion
So sad you'd think in this day cosmetics companies would be more inclusive..I too will be passing on this but it's still fun to get inspiration from Martina
I thought it wouldn't work on all skin tones. That completely sucks 😢💗💗💗
