Since glitters, especially those gritty ones, tend to migrate even when not used, I’d recommend taking a square piece of tape to cover the pan so none of the glitter particles of the gritty, sand one doesn’t migrate into any of the other pans and getting in your eye anyways!! I started doing that a while back with any glitter type shades I won’t use that I don’t want migrating into other pans I do use (and with cream shades that don’t have covers) and it’s helped so much! Figured I’d mention it! ❤
@onewhisper22005 This is a fantastic idea. Some of the Colourpop palettes I have include large glitters that are specifically listed as unsafe for use in the eye area, and yet people talk about how they love to use the large glitters on their eyelids… 😱😱 *cue violin horror music* I am careful to keep those away from my eyes, but I did not consider that the glitter pieces could migrate elsewhere on the palette as it is used. Time to cover them up! Cheers!
Excellent video with great ideas for usage. I started to return it but watched a bunch of videos and changed ny mind. I love Ice Cold and Aurora. As a tan girl She Rich could be even deeper but I can still work with the shade for an everyday look.
@@QuickWorksBeauty thanks! I do feel like this is a good palette just maybe a bit redundant if you already have some of the other palettes mentioned. I almost returned Pretty Grunge because it's just not that usable for me but I'm glad I kept it as a complementary palette to this one. 😅
@@arimarianne7528 happy to help!!! I never considered it either until one day I went to use a matte shade in a palette that had one and saw glitter in it. I was like how did that get in there?! Then I realized it must’ve migrated from the glitter pan. And then came up with the tape idea! It also works great for cream shades. Like when I got the Huda New Nude palette, it had the cream concealer shade in it. I was worried about it drying out so I covered it with tape, and it’s been a LONG time and it’s still creamy! It’s crazy!
Yes! I have the rose quartz and I would agree with you that this one is a more wearable every day color story. That’s one reason I think I’m gonna go ahead and grab this. I’m just in a phase of life that requires easy no brainer makeup and this is more that vibe than rose quartz.
That’s a good way to describe this one. No fuss no muss reliable pretty easy looks for most days when you don’t want to think about it too much but still want to look good.😊
I do really think it's pretty but also expensive. If you are a Sephora rouge member you can 20% off of it right now. Otherwise I think you can get 10-15% off either as a first time buyer from Huda's site or as one of the other tier members at Sephora this week.
I love the icy an didn't wait. Bday to myself. So I'm gonna take the scratchy one out and throwing away and then I'm gonna find a color that goes with the theme I'm gonna find another duochrome that goes maybe a great navy.
that sounds perfect! I didn't want to wreck the palette before ruining it but I think I might try to yeet that scratchy one myself and replace it with a metallic green..
I found a icy duochrome pink. It will be the perfect and liven up the pink color. Just love this palette. I just love watching your channel I'm from the east side near Spokane WA so I consider ya a local gal.😊
@@carlaparks6517 Perfect! Oh hey! :-) I have lots of family over in your area and come over there often. My dad and sister are just over the border in Hauser, ID, in laws in CDA and Deer Park. We toy with moving over your way all the time but my husband's work is here unfortunately.
I was late to the party with Rose Quartz. It’s currently sold out. Can’t wait til it comes back. I apparently saw the last palette my local Sephora at. Kohl’s had and passed on it :( Love Iced Out and Aurora from the Icy Nudes palette.
There definitely was a pretty decent dupe for it in the colourpop stone cold fox palette I posted in my community tab. I have several colourpop palettes (that red one I just did in my fall palettes video) that have really similar shades to Aurora! 😊
I agree that this is a beautiful palette except for the glitter. One of my viewers says she likes the glitter?? I do not, but she says she uses just a little glitter glue.I have been loving the softer looks with this palette. I love VBS. I agree that this palette would be flattering for many skin shades, but with different looks! Thank you!
Thank you! and darn it! I tried to recreate the lip look but it is a whole mishmosh of things unfortunately and some of them are discontinued like the bite beauty stick in Cava. I did start the base off with the HoneyBee Gardens lippie in Paradise but I wanted it cooler so I toned it down with the bite beauty stick and then put one of the cooler lip oils on it like Juvia's place Black Cherry. It's almost never just a straight up single lipstick with me unfortunately because I'm trying to be specific for each look.
I still wear it almost every day! It's a really usable color story for me. The polish is Mooncat Sand Viper. Mooncat is by far my fave polish brand, almost don't need a clear coat on top it's so buttery and self leveling. Their colors are amazing too!
For my preferences definitely the Huda Ice palette. The ND one is pretty warm in comparison and I don’t find I use it much at all. If you like the ND I would try the Lamora nude palette www.amazon.com/dp/B0B19Z56H4/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_VHJ7XHCVEPZ9S0K361ZN?linkCode=ml2&tag=redgirlreview-20 as it is a solid high quality dupe for $10 and splurge on the Huda palette. Main difference is the Huda has lots of dusty purples I like and the ND is a very taupe and peach palette, no purples at all.
That look is so pretty on you. I'm a little darker than you but still light skin, I love her eye shadows but most of them are too dark for me, but I do have the Pretty Grunge & Rose Quartz which I love. It was prefect for the Barbie pink look. BTW what lippies are you wearing I love that color?
Thank you! And the lippie is a bit of a mix but the base is the HoneyBee Gardens shade called Paradise amzn.to/3AvsyN9 cooled down a little bit with Bite Beauty stick in Cava (discontinued sadly) and glossed with Black Cherry lip oil from Juvia's Place.
@@redgirlreviews That's what I was saying. It pretty much looks like a sibling to that eyeshadow palette. So in my opinion you already have the eyeshadow palette. You wouldn't really need that one
What a great review! I ordered this right away, and I love it so far,except that terrible glitter shadow. I think the gold is pretty but such a strange formula,i had to use glitter glue .I have deeper skin but love cooler tones. I will use this with Cold Moon and Of Quartz by Colourpop. I will be trying your eye looks later today ! Thanks for the inspiration.
@@karlieneporter4939 I like both palettes but for me I get a little more use out of this Huda one because ND nude skews peach and taupe and this one skews purple and taupe. They’re both gorgeous though. The shimmers aren’t as flakey in the ND but I think they are prettier and more usable over all. 😊
Made need to buy this one on Black Friday. Still getting cold moon though hoping for bf discount as shipping is high to uk. Love your channel so much. You are a very relaxing content maker.
I definitely don't regret getting this one for once! 😅 Thank you so much for your kind words too...I often doubt myself and lovely people like you help me keep going. 🥰
I think I enjoy your content so much because I can relate to your artist background and approach. It also helps being pale and neutral cool toned. It seems like everyone on internet and makeup artists have a bias to warm skin tones. You should be confident you are lovely interesting talented lady.
I wish so badly I could afford this. It's absolutely perfect for my coloring. I have the tarte holiday collection from last year, and almost all of it pulled warm on me (even some in the cool pallete). I had no idea it would do that. This color story is absolutely gorgeous to me. Cannot afford it at all. 😭😭
I know and I'm sorry I couldn't find a really good more affordable dupe. I think probably the closest was the Colourpop Stone Cold Fox by the swatches in my Community tab. th-cam.com/channels/EbLs6KJtwOFI1Wjp4cuPrg.htmlcommunity?lb=UgkxdYO1tfbLePtGTU0cRF4Xk3sShxDVrKDH
Ty for this thorough review and all the ideas. I did grab this at the Sephora sale and have similar coloring (I do lean more neutral than cool) to you so I’m excited about my purchase. I hope it arrives soon so I can play! I love really punchy shimmer as well on my 49 yr old hooded eyes. They make me feel pretty. 🤷🏻♀️😊 Btw, you do not look older than maybe 30. Just sayin’.
You are so kind! 🥰 I just wore this again today and got such an easy pretty look yet again. This palette is super usable and reliable for gorgeous looks. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!
I am so on the fence about this palette. I own Pretty Grunge and am thinking this would be a companion palette, but I'm just not sure I want to splurge. Your review is very helpful. I am not a fan of "topper" shades and would never put a pressed glitter on my eye, but I thought I read that this particular glitter would break down if it gets in the eye. I still wouldn't use it.
Hmm I think you're getting very similar shimmers in the Pretty Grunge palette already so probably don't need this one for that and a lot of the purples are kind of similar. The peaches are also similar just a little darker so I think the only reason to get this if you already have Pretty Grunge is because you want a selection of lighter purple/gray crease shades. Might not be super useful for your needs especially since you're not super interested in glitter toppers. ;-)
@redgirlreviews do you think the lighter shades are close to Creamy Obsessions Greige? I've got that & Pretty Grunge, feeling like those two are good comparison
@theroyalshaman I do t have the creamy greige one but I do have pretty grunge and did some comparison swatches that I will post in my community tab. The darker shades and silver are definitely duped in pretty grunge but none of the lighter shades are at all.
@niccar11 oh...I'm gonna try that!! I was totally despising 5 shades in this palette and those are part of the 5. I had glitter bukkake all over my face no matter what I tried. At least they can be worked with. The 2 biggest duds to me are bling and gold standard.
It is a whole mishmosh of things unfortunately and some of them are discontinued like the bite beauty stick in Cava. I did start the base off with the HoneyBee Gardens lippie in Paradise but I wanted it cooler so I toned it down with the bite beauty stick and then put one of the cooler lip oils on it like Juvia's place Black Cherry. It's almost never just a straight up single lipstick with me unfortunately because I'm trying to be specific for each look.
I saw a video that said for the chunky glitters in this palette, you have to break the pearl up first with your finger like on the back of your hand, then apply on the eyefor a wet glossy look. I don’t have the palette so I haven’t tried it, just saw that on a review.
Thank you! I feel like this is one of the few palettes really made for my skin tone which is a nice change! The lipstick is tragic because it's a whole mishmosh of things including the discontinued lipstick from bite beauty in Cava. I started with Paradise from HoneyBee Gardens but it was a tad too warm so I went over it with Cava and I'm pretty sure I also did some Juvia's place Black Cherry lip oil over the top because it was a little dry.
Thank you for this review. I love the look of the palette and thought it would be really wearable but I am very fair and cool tone. I think these are too warm and neutral actually for me. It's always hard to tell in the advertising.
@redgirlreviews I really appreciate it. This helps me save money. I'm someone that pinks look peach on me, so maybe Rose quartz would be worth it for me.
@@pajamamama5965 I do think it was a weird move to put 2 full on peaches in an 'icy' palette rather than a couple of cool pinks or taupes? It's like she just couldn't quite do it because she favors warm tones. 😂
Thank you for this great review! I decided against this palette, mostly because of that nasty glitter shade. Maybe if the company takes the feedback and reformulates or replaces that shade, I'll reconsider. I do love the color story, so it's too bad. I caved on the Mario Moonlight palette! That blue!!! I know I really poo-pooed the topper shades in the Mario palette, but I changed my mind. I watched one of his videos and now that I know he did that on purpose, it makes more sense. Look at me, being all open-minded, and trying new looks--ha ha!!!
haha! I gotta find that Mario video so maybe I can understand how to use it in a way I appreciate more! I'm so tempted to get teh Doll10 3.0 palette to compare the two since it's almost a straight up dupe but with more blues...it's still $44 though so I don't know if I can justify it but it does have more traditional shimmers which might make me a lot happier...reaches for wallet...🤣
@ No worries! I still prefer a more metallic finish, but I’m gonna give “ethereal” a go. The video I saw was simply his launch video. He said it’s about “moonlight reflecting on water” or something like that. Just tiny sparkles. ✨
I wanted to like this so much, but the mattes are soo warm on me, I don't know what to do with them hahaha. I opted for Mario after all because every matte in it is so perfectly neutral on my skintone, I actually feel like I will use all of them, which never happens. The Huda looks amazing on you, though!
thank you! I'm sorry this one didn't work out for you and I totally agree it really overall just isn't all that cool unless you are already very warm toned yourself. I'm glad the Mario is working out for you though! That one is definitely actually cool toned over all. ☺
@redgirlreviews Nothing to be sorry about. :) More money saved... or rather, "saved" lolll. I'm curious to see what Huda releases next. I kind of hope it's upgraded 9-pans or quads or something.
@@redgirlreviews Maybe she will give me one small purely cool toned palette...... Please Huda just one, lollll, she's been baiting me so hard with promo pics for all these years. XD
I got the palette as I don’t have much like it within my collection. However, I’m a little disappointed in it having it in my hands. I wish I had got I Need a Nude instead. I love it and I’ll use it but I just think there are some shades that I wish had been switched out! That glitter is such an odd choice to me! For such a modern colour story it’s like putting a glitter from a 2016 Colourpop palette in there! I don’t know why brands are still putting them in palettes when I don’t think I’ve seen anybody who actually loves them! I also don’t get the gold/champagne shade and the peachy nudes. I would’ve much preferred more shimmers that fit with the rest of the palette. I think I’m being a bit harsh because I was so excited lol.
😆 I don't think Huda can make a palette without a peach shade of some sort...clearly a fave for her. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say I love glitter shades! so I don't understand why that gritty glitter needed to be in there but ok. 🤣 On the ND Nude one, if you don't want to break the bank and you're missing that color story the Lamora nude palette for $10 is literally one of the best dupes I've ever found for a palette because the formula is so good...like high end good. Anyway it's here if you want to check it out: amzn.to/48zHHtq here is my comparison: th-cam.com/users/shortsKCMNOk8CgPM
I'm glad that this one worked out for you! I'm honestly shocked that she included that eye doctor's worst nightmare of a shade. How is that remotely eye safe?? Eye injury is no joke; not only can you damage your vision, but because of the eye's proximity to the brain, any infection and inflammation can have catastrophic effects (learned this from an ex co-worker who got a grain of sand in her eye and refused to seek medical treatment at first). I actually think the mattes in this one are more successful than the shimmers. I'll stick to my Natasha Denona shimmers, her formulas aren't always amazing but I doubt she would release a palette with this kind of shade inside! I also got the Focallure palette on your recommendation, and wow creamy shimmers are phenomenal. I LOVE formulas like that: they stick to the eye and give a gorgeous glossy effect, but are still very impactful. That's what the Mario shimmers lack: a creamy base and some base pigment. I actually got the new ABH Sugar 9 pan palette and I think it's a great alternative to this one. It's completely cool toned, the matte shades are lovely (though two have glitters in them that I'm not hugely in love with, but they perform very well). The sparkly shades are very pretty, especially the blue, and you can layer them and create a good variety of looks.
I'm not a glitter girl, but a simple small, foreign body removal could probably be done by any trained MD who has the right equipment handy. Hardly a "nightmare" scenario requiring a specialist, but not something you need to experience simply because you like bling in your eye products.
Yeah, it was hard to find because it was directly in my pupil area and on it's side so hard to see and we almost missed it. With numbing it was no problem but it hurt like a bitch for 4 days before I could be seen and didn't know what the heck was wrong since I couldn't see what it was either. I agree with you on the mattes for this palette. I reach for this constantly for quick crease shades. I still need to go check out the ABH Sugar palette since I've always loved her formula except that horrible Fall Romance one...usually so soft and shimmery. I hate to say it but I'm still using my Moira single eyeshadows as final toppers on all of these though because they are just better performers!
I wouldn't say this is the most shimmery palette in the world, way more mattes and beautiful ones at that even for my crepey lids! If you don't want any shimmers at all though, those might seem like wasted shades to be paying for.
@@JennR323 I'm going to go see. I will actually post in the Community tab some swatch comparisons for you guys. I have both the Stone Cold and Smoke and Roses and just peeking at it I see some definite similarities but none of those flakey shimmers (the 2 in the Huda - rose goldish silver and silver)
My problem with this palette is the same problem I have with the ND Róxa. Is that all the looks I have seen created in review videos all look very similar. I think this palette could easily be a nine-pan. So many shadows look similar on the eyes.
I don’t like the peach and that nasty warm flesh colour. I’m disappointed with the two darks as well and then there’s the gritty one. It’s a shame really as it the palette as pictured looks fab and it’s made in Italy which is always a plus. I have grey and silvers in the ND Xenon so over all it’s a miss for me. Loved the looks you did and the swatches.
Thanks! Yes at this price if you don’t need it I’d say pass. It’s a nice every day palette but I’ve been able to find similar shades in my other palettes. Also her shimmers are good, not ‘must have’ I have indie palette shimmers that are so much better.
I just got this. Was really excited but i was let down. Love the mattes and a couple of shimmers. That Gold Standard shade is horrible. Bling not much different. The other more textured shades migrate all over your face. :(
I do think this is overpriced for what you get even though I really enjoy the shades in this that I do like. I kinda wish it was a 9 pan and a lower price cutting out some of the glitter and that poor one Gold Standard. You’re right the flaky glitter does fall if you don’t use glitter glue but it’s pretty decent if you do use it.😊
@redgirlreviews I tried it all different ways. Plus, I have issues with the 2 darker mattes. They are patchy and hard to blend. This palette is the biggest dud of the year for me. This collection was rushed. I love the petri dish highlight. It looks like the flush you get from the cold. It's a pH thing. But what was she thinking with the very warm blushes?? I like the blush but it looks weird on my face with the palette and highlight. Lol. The lip gloss you can find in the wet n wild aisle. Sorry, this is the 1st time in years I felt really let down.
@redgirlreviews another poster said to try rubbing the shades vvs and dew into back of hand 1st. I'll try that and see what happens. I also think I'm gonna try the cold moon palette. I've been wanting to try it for a long time. I'm such a big box store shopper. Lol. The cold moon palette looks out of this world. The problem is I went over there, and now I have almost 200 worth of stuff in my cart. Lol.
@@Sandy-p4m The shimmers in Cold moon are stupid like one swipe and you're done. Much better than any of the big box store options. Tarte sometimes has some amazing shimmers (the trio they have out now for the holidays) but I can't think of anyone else that gets close to the quality of something like Ensley Reign for one swipe performance.
@@Sandy-p4m I wonder if there is a problem with different production quality between batches on these. I hated Pretty Grunge's quality but most people loved it. This palette is the first one I actually like but you are not the first person I've heard have issue with the quality. I'm with you on the blush too. I was befuddled by the color choices. Interesting you liked the petri dish as I've heard so much hate for it. Go figure! 😂

I have the tarte holiday collection from last year, and almost all of it pulled warm on me (even some in the cool pallete). I had no idea it would do that. This color story is absolutely gorgeous to me. Cannot afford it at all. 😭😭
I know and I'm sorry I couldn't find a really good more affordable dupe. I think probably the closest was the Colourpop Stone Cold Fox by the swatches in my Community tab. th-cam.com/channels/EbLs6KJtwOFI1Wjp4cuPrg.htmlcommunity?lb=UgkxdYO1tfbLePtGTU0cRF4Xk3sShxDVrKDH
@redgirlreviews yes i really appreciated your swatches. Your coloring is very similar to mine. Thank you!
Ty for this thorough review and all the ideas. I did grab this at the Sephora sale and have similar coloring (I do lean more neutral than cool) to you so I’m excited about my purchase. I hope it arrives soon so I can play! I love really punchy shimmer as well on my 49 yr old hooded eyes. They make me feel pretty. 🤷🏻♀️😊 Btw, you do not look older than maybe 30. Just sayin’.
You are so kind! 🥰 I just wore this again today and got such an easy pretty look yet again. This palette is super usable and reliable for gorgeous looks. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!
I am so on the fence about this palette. I own Pretty Grunge and am thinking this would be a companion palette, but I'm just not sure I want to splurge. Your review is very helpful.
I am not a fan of "topper" shades and would never put a pressed glitter on my eye, but I thought I read that this particular glitter would break down if it gets in the eye. I still wouldn't use it.
Hmm I think you're getting very similar shimmers in the Pretty Grunge palette already so probably don't need this one for that and a lot of the purples are kind of similar. The peaches are also similar just a little darker so I think the only reason to get this if you already have Pretty Grunge is because you want a selection of lighter purple/gray crease shades. Might not be super useful for your needs especially since you're not super interested in glitter toppers. ;-)
@redgirlreviews do you think the lighter shades are close to Creamy Obsessions Greige? I've got that & Pretty Grunge, feeling like those two are good comparison
@theroyalshaman I do t have the creamy greige one but I do have pretty grunge and did some comparison swatches that I will post in my community tab. The darker shades and silver are definitely duped in pretty grunge but none of the lighter shades are at all.
I saw a tip that VVS and Diamond Dew can be blended on the back of the hand then applied to the eye. I tried it and there's way less fallout
@niccar11 oh...I'm gonna try that!! I was totally despising 5 shades in this palette and those are part of the 5. I had glitter bukkake all over my face no matter what I tried. At least they can be worked with. The 2 biggest duds to me are bling and gold standard.
😆 glitter Blake 😂
What is that lipstick you're wearing? It's absolutely stunning.
It is a whole mishmosh of things unfortunately and some of them are discontinued like the bite beauty stick in Cava. I did start the base off with the HoneyBee Gardens lippie in Paradise but I wanted it cooler so I toned it down with the bite beauty stick and then put one of the cooler lip oils on it like Juvia's place Black Cherry. It's almost never just a straight up single lipstick with me unfortunately because I'm trying to be specific for each look.
I saw a video that said for the chunky glitters in this palette, you have to break the pearl up first with your finger like on the back of your hand, then apply on the eyefor a wet glossy look. I don’t have the palette so I haven’t tried it, just saw that on a review.
Interesting thanks for sharing! I’ll try that next time!
The pressed glitter takes us back to 2016😂
🤫🤣
This is simply gorgeous on you. I'm ordering next week in the VIB sale. But stop! What lipstick are you wearing in this video? 😘🥰💄
Thank you! I feel like this is one of the few palettes really made for my skin tone which is a nice change! The lipstick is tragic because it's a whole mishmosh of things including the discontinued lipstick from bite beauty in Cava. I started with Paradise from HoneyBee Gardens but it was a tad too warm so I went over it with Cava and I'm pretty sure I also did some Juvia's place Black Cherry lip oil over the top because it was a little dry.
@@redgirlreviews Thank you. I can totally relate - too warm, too cool, too dry, too glossy. The struggle is real! Love your vids!
Thank you!🥰
@@beckygomez9074 thank you!🥰
Thank you for this review. I love the look of the palette and thought it would be really wearable but I am very fair and cool tone. I think these are too warm and neutral actually for me. It's always hard to tell in the advertising.
Yep that's exactly why I wanted to do this...so frustrating to have things look so different when they arrive and you've spent your money.
@redgirlreviews I really appreciate it. This helps me save money. I'm someone that pinks look peach on me, so maybe Rose quartz would be worth it for me.
@@pajamamama5965 I do think it was a weird move to put 2 full on peaches in an 'icy' palette rather than a couple of cool pinks or taupes? It's like she just couldn't quite do it because she favors warm tones. 😂
@redgirlreviews 😂 exactly 💯 👏
Thank you for this great review! I decided against this palette, mostly because of that nasty glitter shade. Maybe if the company takes the feedback and reformulates or replaces that shade, I'll reconsider. I do love the color story, so it's too bad. I caved on the Mario Moonlight palette! That blue!!! I know I really poo-pooed the topper shades in the Mario palette, but I changed my mind. I watched one of his videos and now that I know he did that on purpose, it makes more sense. Look at me, being all open-minded, and trying new looks--ha ha!!!
haha! I gotta find that Mario video so maybe I can understand how to use it in a way I appreciate more! I'm so tempted to get teh Doll10 3.0 palette to compare the two since it's almost a straight up dupe but with more blues...it's still $44 though so I don't know if I can justify it but it does have more traditional shimmers which might make me a lot happier...reaches for wallet...🤣
@ No worries! I still prefer a more metallic finish, but I’m gonna give “ethereal” a go. The video I saw was simply his launch video. He said it’s about “moonlight reflecting on water” or something like that. Just tiny sparkles. ✨
I wanted to like this so much, but the mattes are soo warm on me, I don't know what to do with them hahaha. I opted for Mario after all because every matte in it is so perfectly neutral on my skintone, I actually feel like I will use all of them, which never happens. The Huda looks amazing on you, though!
thank you! I'm sorry this one didn't work out for you and I totally agree it really overall just isn't all that cool unless you are already very warm toned yourself. I'm glad the Mario is working out for you though! That one is definitely actually cool toned over all. ☺
@redgirlreviews Nothing to be sorry about. :) More money saved... or rather, "saved" lolll. I'm curious to see what Huda releases next. I kind of hope it's upgraded 9-pans or quads or something.
@@leaflaurel true that! I am curious to see which direction she goes next for sure!
@@redgirlreviews Maybe she will give me one small purely cool toned palette...... Please Huda just one, lollll, she's been baiting me so hard with promo pics for all these years. XD
I got the palette as I don’t have much like it within my collection. However, I’m a little disappointed in it having it in my hands. I wish I had got I Need a Nude instead. I love it and I’ll use it but I just think there are some shades that I wish had been switched out! That glitter is such an odd choice to me! For such a modern colour story it’s like putting a glitter from a 2016 Colourpop palette in there! I don’t know why brands are still putting them in palettes when I don’t think I’ve seen anybody who actually loves them! I also don’t get the gold/champagne shade and the peachy nudes. I would’ve much preferred more shimmers that fit with the rest of the palette. I think I’m being a bit harsh because I was so excited lol.
😆 I don't think Huda can make a palette without a peach shade of some sort...clearly a fave for her. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say I love glitter shades! so I don't understand why that gritty glitter needed to be in there but ok. 🤣 On the ND Nude one, if you don't want to break the bank and you're missing that color story the Lamora nude palette for $10 is literally one of the best dupes I've ever found for a palette because the formula is so good...like high end good. Anyway it's here if you want to check it out: amzn.to/48zHHtq here is my comparison: th-cam.com/users/shortsKCMNOk8CgPM
Navy blue would be great for this palette
Agreed!
Wearing the blue from Makeup By Mario today!
@@QuickWorksBeauty perfect! It's really so pretty!
I agree
I Can’t find the Rose Quartz….I Don’t Think You Can Buy it Anymore…
😢 I know I can’t find it either sadly
I'm glad that this one worked out for you! I'm honestly shocked that she included that eye doctor's worst nightmare of a shade. How is that remotely eye safe?? Eye injury is no joke; not only can you damage your vision, but because of the eye's proximity to the brain, any infection and inflammation can have catastrophic effects (learned this from an ex co-worker who got a grain of sand in her eye and refused to seek medical treatment at first). I actually think the mattes in this one are more successful than the shimmers. I'll stick to my Natasha Denona shimmers, her formulas aren't always amazing but I doubt she would release a palette with this kind of shade inside! I also got the Focallure palette on your recommendation, and wow creamy shimmers are phenomenal. I LOVE formulas like that: they stick to the eye and give a gorgeous glossy effect, but are still very impactful. That's what the Mario shimmers lack: a creamy base and some base pigment. I actually got the new ABH Sugar 9 pan palette and I think it's a great alternative to this one. It's completely cool toned, the matte shades are lovely (though two have glitters in them that I'm not hugely in love with, but they perform very well). The sparkly shades are very pretty, especially the blue, and you can layer them and create a good variety of looks.
I'm not a glitter girl, but a simple small, foreign body removal could probably be done by any trained MD who has the right equipment handy. Hardly a "nightmare" scenario requiring a specialist, but not something you need to experience simply because you like bling in your eye products.
Yeah, it was hard to find because it was directly in my pupil area and on it's side so hard to see and we almost missed it. With numbing it was no problem but it hurt like a bitch for 4 days before I could be seen and didn't know what the heck was wrong since I couldn't see what it was either. I agree with you on the mattes for this palette. I reach for this constantly for quick crease shades. I still need to go check out the ABH Sugar palette since I've always loved her formula except that horrible Fall Romance one...usually so soft and shimmery. I hate to say it but I'm still using my Moira single eyeshadows as final toppers on all of these though because they are just better performers!
I’m 53 fair/cool toned. I like this pallet but wonder if it would be too shimmery for me.
I wouldn't say this is the most shimmery palette in the world, way more mattes and beautiful ones at that even for my crepey lids! If you don't want any shimmers at all though, those might seem like wasted shades to be paying for.
I'm 51 year old redhead cool toned n that's my hold up! I'm just on the fence I love ND pallets!
@@redgirlreviewsHow would this compare to Stone Cold Fox in similarity (minus the purplish colors)?
@@JennR323 I'm going to go see. I will actually post in the Community tab some swatch comparisons for you guys. I have both the Stone Cold and Smoke and Roses and just peeking at it I see some definite similarities but none of those flakey shimmers (the 2 in the Huda - rose goldish silver and silver)
@@JennR323 I'm going to swatch it out and try it against the Huda and put it in the Community tab because I'm curious too. ;-)
That's why you have to use glitter glue, that what l use
It does help!
My problem with this palette is the same problem I have with the ND Róxa.
Is that all the looks I have seen created in review videos all look very similar.
I think this palette could easily be a nine-pan. So many shadows look similar on the eyes.
Yep I totally agree. This would make a much better 9 pan with mostly mattes and like 2 shimmers, a silver & that pretty mauve shimmer I think.
I don’t like the peach and that nasty warm flesh colour. I’m disappointed with the two darks as well and then there’s the gritty one. It’s a shame really as it the palette as pictured looks fab and it’s made in Italy which is always a plus. I have grey and silvers in the ND Xenon so over all it’s a miss for me. Loved the looks you did and the swatches.
Thanks! Yes at this price if you don’t need it I’d say pass. It’s a nice every day palette but I’ve been able to find similar shades in my other palettes. Also her shimmers are good, not ‘must have’ I have indie palette shimmers that are so much better.
I just got this. Was really excited but i was let down. Love the mattes and a couple of shimmers. That Gold Standard shade is horrible. Bling not much different. The other more textured shades migrate all over your face. :(
I do think this is overpriced for what you get even though I really enjoy the shades in this that I do like. I kinda wish it was a 9 pan and a lower price cutting out some of the glitter and that poor one Gold Standard. You’re right the flaky glitter does fall if you don’t use glitter glue but it’s pretty decent if you do use it.😊
@redgirlreviews I tried it all different ways. Plus, I have issues with the 2 darker mattes. They are patchy and hard to blend. This palette is the biggest dud of the year for me. This collection was rushed. I love the petri dish highlight. It looks like the flush you get from the cold. It's a pH thing. But what was she thinking with the very warm blushes?? I like the blush but it looks weird on my face with the palette and highlight. Lol. The lip gloss you can find in the wet n wild aisle. Sorry, this is the 1st time in years I felt really let down.
@redgirlreviews another poster said to try rubbing the shades vvs and dew into back of hand 1st. I'll try that and see what happens. I also think I'm gonna try the cold moon palette. I've been wanting to try it for a long time. I'm such a big box store shopper. Lol. The cold moon palette looks out of this world. The problem is I went over there, and now I have almost 200 worth of stuff in my cart. Lol.
@@Sandy-p4m The shimmers in Cold moon are stupid like one swipe and you're done. Much better than any of the big box store options. Tarte sometimes has some amazing shimmers (the trio they have out now for the holidays) but I can't think of anyone else that gets close to the quality of something like Ensley Reign for one swipe performance.
@@Sandy-p4m I wonder if there is a problem with different production quality between batches on these. I hated Pretty Grunge's quality but most people loved it. This palette is the first one I actually like but you are not the first person I've heard have issue with the quality. I'm with you on the blush too. I was befuddled by the color choices. Interesting you liked the petri dish as I've heard so much hate for it. Go figure! 😂
