Hello folksickles, today I'm reviewing a palette that I am SO EXCITED to own, a palette from which looks colorful, neutral, metallic, matte, or mix of all... can be born! A palette that I think is cute and versatile... Well my wife had come to pick me up after work one night and had been to Ulta earlier that day - of course I needed to say what she hauled and once I saw this... well I had to have it too! The olives in this palette have my heart!
Availability: The currently retails at $12.50 at morphe.com
Would I buy this again?: I think I would.
Notes: I think this is such a beautiful palette and is very versatile as well. You can easily create a colorful look but you can also do a soft pin-up situation, a smoky look, a neutral with a pop of color, a colorful look with some neutrals for definition... Endless possibilities! Personally I like layering the more "foil"-type shades over the matte shades for a fun twist. I really like this shade selection a lot, although I will say it has kind of an autumnal vibe to it. The metallics in this palette, with their multi-toned micro-glitter and the wide variety of matte green shades make this palette really unique.
I'll speak a bit about the packaging before I show you the shades - it's standard fare for a makeup palette and my only beef with it is that I wish the shade names were printed under each shade in the palette.
Without further ado, swatchfest!
