I normally get most ABH palettes. I agree with you, the blushes should not have been included in the palette. Those blush colors just don’t work for everyone! Maybe if they had come out with a couple version on the palette with different blushes for different skin tones?
Great review!!! They should have offered it with the option to have either light or deep blush shades. A one and done neutral palette would be great for the upcoming travel season.
Your comparison swatches are fabulous, this is some next level dedication! I totally wouldn’t have guessed Soft Glam & born this way Natural nudes were SO similar, and Bare Necessities even has the glitter infused mattes ….lol I’m honestly confused, ABH feels like a different brand since Norvina started calling the shots. I’m confused why they’d release an entire eyeshadow palette with only 2 actual “eyeshadows” …wasn’t the whole Norvina line for pressed pigments? Someone must reallllly love Pressed pigments over at ABh…👀
You have single handedly deinfluenced me from buying uselese products and I appreciate that so much! I am so grateful to you. Your eyeshadow reviews are the best and most all encompassing. I just wish u had more financial success and virality since ur personality so so real and u work so hard and are so thorough but unfortunately we live in times where fake and surface level people and content has a meteoric rise to success and others don't. Just want to let you know u deserve the best!
The finished look is beautiful! I've been watching you for about two years and I'm so excited to see your channel growing! Keep up the fantastic work, Amanda!
This video was SUPER helpful! Thanks for giving such comprehensive reviews and comparisons, Amanda! I definitely agree with you about the blushes. If this went way on sale, I'd consider getting it - the quality and shades are right up my alley. (The only redeeming quality I can think of for the blushes is that I could probably use the baby pink on as a blending/transition shade?? 🤷🏻♀️)
I was in Ulta the other day and saw this palette and it's so pretty. I am so glad that I watched this video. I'll likely go for the CP bare necessities palette. I mean the colors are basically the same. Now, I wonder if the CP shimmer shades would perform as well as the ABH shimmer shades that you used. The eye look that you created is SO pretty! I agree about the blush colors. Very few people can pull off such a warm almost orange blush color. I would have put a rose gold blush shade and maybe a plum shade (something more universal).
That saddle shade is super orange. Yeah I agree with you. I'll pick my own blush. I think they're just trying to add in a few tricks thinking it will help it sell, but not really a good idea.
I picked up this pallet and am not thrilled about the blushes but I will try them ... I really enjoy the ABH eyeshadows ! Its late but I really want to do your eyelook lol
Thanks for your review, swatches and comparisions. I keep going back and fourth on this palette of wanting to get it or not. I thought it looked very close to Soft Glam, and since that purple primrose color has glitter in it, I'm thinking I can skip this.
I have had two palettes arrive broken ftom Ulta in the past four months…and then the replacement palette for one also arrived broken! They don’t seem to use boxes anymore just bubble mailers. Ugh!
I have been debating whether to buy or not this palette but I won’t now because I do have the CP Bare Necessities and the swatches are very similar. Thank you for the video. And I am buying that lip color you have on. It’s beautiful. 💖
I don’t have the Bare Necessities, two faced Nudes or the ABH Soft Glam Palette , so the Primrose does give my collection more Variety. It cost me $72 Canadian. Good time to redeem some points! I don’t have an orangey brown cheek colour so I look at it as a bonus. The cheek colours echoes that Romantic Rustic vibe and it balances by adding a medium woody brown that I will use on my lids, too. I think because of it’s warm neutral colour story I will we drawn to it for day looks this fall. Yes, the duo chromes shades are very nice indeed. Thanks for doing the comparisons because I had no idea how similar those other palettes were, which I won’t be purchasing.
I mean the shadows are beautiful but I have so many similar shades. I also don't like eye and face products in the same palette so it is a skip for me. Great review! Thank you Amanda!🌷
Thank you for the video & comparisons. I'm into it because I don't have Soft Glam or Bare Necessities. The color story speaks to me. I'll pick it up. Being very fair I don't love cheek colors in eyeshadow palettes either. I'm digging the storm cloud earrings with your blue cloudy tie dye shirt. It's a rainy day theme. Flowers need rain. So there you go. It's a vibe. 💚🌷
Thanks for another useful video Amanda. You save me so much money because you let me know what I don't need to buy. I hear primrose and I expect lots of pretty shades of pink. I don't understand calling yet another neutral palette "primrose.". The purple shade and peony speak to me. But the rest I have many many shades just like it. This is just soft glam with a blush I don't need. Maybe Colourpop will put out a very colorful primrose palette now.
I love this color story and I LOVE that pink grapefruit blush! I'm not that excited for saddle though. I think I'll just use my Bare Necessities. Thank you for comparing those! Now I can save some money! XOXO Heidi
If lightening bolt earrings, a tie dye sweatshirt and a romantic eye look is wrong causing a conundrum....... I don't wanna be right 😅😅😅😅😅. Just kidding, great review and tutorial, thank you! Your reviews are always the best. Happy weekend!
I was a little curious about this palette. So thankful you compared it to the two-faced palette, because I picked that up on the Ulta sale for my daughters and myself for Christmas.
I got this palette it’s absolutely gorgeous! The blushes are pretty and I think there’s one for light/medium tones and one for darker tones and you can tone down the orange one using it very softly so I think they did a wonderful job!
thank you for a helpful video. I think I will use the light rouge as eyeshadow. The lightest one ALWAYS ends long before the others as I use it as a base.
Thank you for your comparisons! I don’t have any ABH palettes and have been eyeing this. The bronzer does look a bit orange for me. I might look to dupe it from my collection. And I just recently picked up the Too Faced Natural Nudes. I think I’ll pass.
Oh I have earrings almost the same as yours. Mine are silver and blue though. I feel the same as you about the palette. It’s pretty, it’s been done before and I hate face products in eyeshadow palettes.
thanks for the review and comparisons! i was planning to buy this but since cp bare necessities can be a dupe for this, might pass since i already have the cp one.
Looks nice. I have the soft glam and modern Renaissance. They also look similar. A NEW mini version of soft glam is out for 29 dollars. Seems like a better deal.
I'm thinking this palette matches beautifully with the style of face palette they released this summer. It's coherent, I feel like. Edit: I loved that you acknowledged how the blushes could have been more inclusive
It was a hard pass when I saw, including the cheek colors, 9 out of 12 colors have the eye warnings. That would only leave 2 useable eye colors. Was glad to see the color story was pretty similar to things I already have.
I loved the palette as well. I do wish that they maybe made the transition shades like bigger rather than blush. I also think I would have loved a black again in their palette because their noir shade is so so good. I still love this one but the blushes may not work for everyone.
Agree I wasn’t a fan of the two blushes in the pallet but I’ve used them and I’ve also used them on my eyes But since I was able to get it for $15 off and I tend to collect a BH pallets I was like whatever I’ll grab it
I love this palette and how it looks I just wish someone throws in a black with these shadows. I love darkening up the edges with black since I dont wear eyeliner anymore. My eyes are hooded and are getting worse with age and I have entirely given up on eyeliners now.
i have to agree that i’m not too keen on these blushes being in the palette. this palette is pretty but i finally got to purchase the natural nudes palette in the ulta sale and i’m super happy with it and it’s close enough to this. i loveeee your earrings!!! i tried to get them but they sold out on me. 😔 ps… i also am a contradiction wrapped in a conundrum… primrose 🧛♀️
While though I absolutely love your eyeshadow look, I don't love the ABH palettes for the reasons you expressed..I only purchased the one, the Norvina which put me off from ever going near another one..For me the shadows were like applying water colors..They were too cool toned for this warm tone girl.. but I would though be interested in a quad with just the shades you applied..
Thank you for the swatches, they showed clearly that a lot of people have those colors already. I don't get the point of ABH palettes at all. Most of them are just boring and duping themselves. I like the norvina range from ABH but hardly any of the small palettes. And I had no good experience with the glam palette. The colors just faded away after a few hours.
I normally get most ABH palettes. I agree with you, the blushes should not have been included in the palette. Those blush colors just don’t work for everyone! Maybe if they had come out with a couple version on the palette with different blushes for different skin tones?
tysm for these comparisons. like others, not a fan of the blushes included and the uptick in price versus their previous palettes
Great review!!! They should have offered it with the option to have either light or deep blush shades. A one and done neutral palette would be great for the upcoming travel season.
They definitely should've but this just shows once again how ABH does not care about inclusivity.
Your comparison swatches are fabulous, this is some next level dedication! I totally wouldn’t have guessed Soft Glam & born this way Natural nudes were SO similar, and Bare Necessities even has the glitter infused mattes ….lol
I’m honestly confused, ABH feels like a different brand since Norvina started calling the shots.

Someone must reallllly love Pressed pigments over at ABh…👀
Wow, I thought it would be very similar to Soft Glam but I didn't think it would be THAT close. Easy pass for me then. Thank you as always
Soft glam's identical twin.
You have single handedly deinfluenced me from buying uselese products and I appreciate that so much! I am so grateful to you. Your eyeshadow reviews are the best and most all encompassing. I just wish u had more financial success and virality since ur personality so so real and u work so hard and are so thorough but unfortunately we live in times where fake and surface level people and content has a meteoric rise to success and others don't.

Ah, I've been having a terrible day and here's your new video to cheer me up 🥰

I love your idea of ABH making little cheek duos to go with this palette. A smart company would hire you to consult them about what customers want.
I picked up this pallet and am not thrilled about the blushes but I will try them ... I really enjoy the ABH eyeshadows ! Its late but I really want to do your eyelook lol
Agree about them putting out various cheek palettes instead as part of the collection! Maybe you can use those matte blushes as eyeshadows then?
Those comparison swatches blew me away!! I have all of them, thank you for reminding me!
Thanks for the great video! I agree about the blushes. It might have been better if the blush colors were more cohesive with the eyeshadow colors.
Thanks for your review, swatches and comparisions. I keep going back and fourth on this palette of wanting to get it or not. I thought it looked very close to Soft Glam, and since that purple primrose color has glitter in it, I'm thinking I can skip this.
So pretty! Mine came broken from Ulta yesterday (happening a lot lately, unfortunately!) but can't wait to get my replacement.
I have had two palettes arrive broken ftom Ulta in the past four months…and then the replacement palette for one also arrived broken! They don’t seem to use boxes anymore just bubble mailers. Ugh!
@@LisaF_ omg yes! I noticed it happens when they use a bubble mailer too!
I have been debating whether to buy or not this palette but I won’t now because I do have the CP Bare Necessities and the swatches are very similar. Thank you for the video. And I am buying that lip color you have on. It’s beautiful. 💖
God! I was really interested in buying this but after seeing the comparison with Bare Necessities I changed my mind. Thank you so much for this!

I immediately thought of Bare Necessities when I first saw your swatches!

I purchased this palette and beyond live it.

There isn't one for darker skin tones.

My Soft Glam needs to be retired so I might get this!. Thanks for this review!

It's a blush not bronzer

Amanda the lip you have on is beautiful. I'd love to hear how you like those new Lady Bold lipsticks from Too Faced🤔🧐
Saw this on your ig and and fell in love instantly that I always check your recent uploads. ❤️
Looks nice. I have the soft glam and modern Renaissance. They also look similar. A NEW mini version of soft glam is out for 29 dollars. Seems like a better deal.
Excellent review.
I thought I really wanted that one and now I know I don't! Thanks Amanda
I’m not at all interested in ABH, I just watched to look at your earrings. They’re my fave pair so far! ♥️
I'm weirdly attracted to this but the price 😬😬😬 i wonder if they gonna come out with a cool tone version in the future
It’s pretty, reminds me of colourpop give it to me straight and ménage a muah
I'm thinking this palette matches beautifully with the style of face palette they released this summer. It's coherent, I feel like.

Wear did you get those earrings?? I love them!!💜🌈💜
I love this palette and how it looks I just wish someone throws in a black with these shadows. I love darkening up the edges with black since I dont wear eyeliner anymore. My eyes are hooded and are getting worse with age and I have entirely given up on eyeliners now.
Can you share info with us about that Ulta coupon?? ☺️
I appreciate the comparisons. I have the natural Nudes palette so definitely don’t need this.
i have to agree that i’m not too keen on these blushes being in the palette. this palette is pretty but i finally got to purchase the natural nudes palette in the ulta sale and i’m super happy with it and it’s close enough to this. i loveeee your earrings!!! i tried to get them but they sold out on me. 😔
ps… i also am a contradiction wrapped in a conundrum… primrose 🧛♀️
It's pretty "shady" how some of these companies put the same shades in several pallettes and try to pass them off as new.
While though I absolutely love your eyeshadow look, I don't love the ABH palettes for the reasons you expressed..I only purchased the one, the Norvina which put me off from ever going near another one..For me the shadows were like applying water colors..They were too cool toned for this warm tone girl.. but I would though be interested in a quad with just the shades you applied..

I like the norvina range from ABH but hardly any of the small palettes. And I had no good experience with the glam palette. The colors just faded away after a few hours.
Not buying it since I have these colors a million times, but watching so you get the views. :)
Yippee I have Colourpop Bare Necessities already so I’ll pass
And I agree .. no blush in eye shadow palettes Thanks fir the comparison
I have the Too Face can believe how similar they are enjoyed video. Didn’t like the blushes
Your thumbnail is hilarious. Did you play with editing or just have that flexy face!?!
I used my 15 off coupon to pick up the palette as well
Does anyone have a link to the video she talked about regarding not safe for eyes?
Lucky me, I have Bare Necessaries!
As a WOC, the "blushes" fall so short 😐. Andrea Renee (shade twin) has a review on her channel; the eye look was great, but the rest is a pass.
The blushes do not work. I'm confused
This palette doesn't really interest me at all, but I enjoyed your review. Thanks very much for doing it.
Dang I didn't think it would be THAT close to Soft Glam 😳
I really like the color story, but I wouldn’t pay 60 bucks for this. Don’t think anyone asked for a matte glitter shadow and two blushes.
I don't like the formula of ABH palettes, I've got one and never use it. Not gonna grab this one.
This can be duplicated by so many other palettes that it’s just not worth buying in my opinion.
Beautiful pallete, but i'll pass.
