Hey there!
When the Balm
website put all of its products on sale for 50%, I jumped on The Nude'tude
pallet. I had coveted it for a long time and now it's mine!
And I enjoy it.
The colors are nicely pigmented and most of the shimmery colors don't have a
ton of shimmer (I'm a matte girl you know!). I know it may sound weird but I
like a palette when I can use more than half of them as eyelid colors. I like
to have deep colors for the "outer v" and outer lid. I like to then,
go softer as I go in toward the inner lid and then use a nice crease color
(usually something just this side of my lid color - peach, browns, warm pinks).
This palette fit the bill.
Sassy (white),
Snobby (yellow), Stubborn (pink) and Stand-offish (champagne) are probably not
my favorites. They are colors that I might pop on my brow bone as highlight
colors. Stubborn could be an accent color that goes in the center of my lid for
pink looks and Stand-offish could be an accent color for browns.
Selfish
(grey/silver), Seductive (bronze) and Silly (weird, chunky copper - not a big
fan of it) are good "outer v" colors for date night. They are very
glittery and I tend not to be a fan of that much glitter. I wouldn't trash them
but I'd be aware to use them more at night.
Sultry (cinnamon
brown) and Sophisticated are good blending colors for your crease. Sultry is
AWESOME for the crease. I expect to hit pan on that one first!
Sexy (brown/eggplant/plum)
and Sleek (deep, chocolate brown) are good "outer v" colors for me. I
can do a light pop in the "outer v" or I can go a bit heavier and go
for a splash.
Serious (black)
is good for powder liner -- top lash line or bottom lash line. So is Sleek.
My favorites in
this palette are Sultry (GREAT crease color), Sexy and Sleek. I know that these
will be used the most.
I will admit
that this isn't my favorite palette in my collection but it's good. I'd
probably have been a tad bit upset to pay full price for it but half price is
A-ok.
Did you pick
this up? What do you think? Which color is your go-to color in the palette?
