The Maybelline Blushed Nudes Palette

Soooo it’s been well over 2 months since I’ve reviewed any products… oops. During this time, I have tried many new items; one of them being the Maybelline Blushed Nudes palette. Typically for reviews I share my thoughts on products in paragraph form; however I’m trying something different today by doing so in bullets. Frankly, I prefer reading bullets because they’re clear and to the point. But that’s just my personal preference. Hopefully you like this new format, too!

Pros:

-The shadows included are gorgeous subtle colors similar to those of the Naked 3 palette.

-Shimmery and matte shadows are included.

-The placement of the shadows is well thought out:

   Quads: (2:2)

     1. Color entire eye area 

     2. Shade lid 

     3. Contour crease 

     4. Line around eye 

   Trios: (horizontal)

     1. Color entire eye area 

     2. Shade lid 

     3. Contour crease 

   Duos: (vertical or horizontal)

     1. Shade lid 

     2. Contour crease

-Decent quality shadows given the price of $9.99

-Shadows last long on the eyes with minimal to no fallout.

-Pigmented after a few layers.

Cons:

-It takes a few layers to become pigmented.

-The slight chalkiness of the shadows initially makes for an uneven application.

Over all, I give this palette 3.5/5 stars. I love the idea of an all ‘blushed nudes’ palette; however I don't foresee myself repurchasing this particular one in the future. Given the chalky texture I’d rather try a different drugstore palette next time I’m browsing. Until I use up these shadows, though, I will enjoy playing around with various combinations and will no doubt get some beautiful eye looks out of it. Check out my latest video for a soft look created with this palette.
