Eyeshadow Palettes Oh My!

JudyL — Fri, 10 Nov 2017 05:40:00 GMT

What a shock, right?! I had two eye shadow palettes that I ordered waiting for me when I got home today. Tarte Double Duty (their Q holiday palette) A299590 and Doll 10 Pro Nude A290427.

I really like both of them! To be honest I wasn't sure when I ordered them and had kind of prepared myself that they may not be to my liking. I am a matte person, do not like sparkly and was a little concerned these would be. While some of the colors are shimmery, to me they are not sparkly.

All the colors are nice, neutral, soft, yet very pigmented colors and I feel very wearable even for someone like me in my early 60's. There are plenty of colors to play with and get different looks from. Very glad I bought these and know that I'll have fun trying out the different combos.

Definitely worth it if you've been thinking about them.

Hi @JudyL, I received my Doll 10 Pro Nude A290427 yesterday. I haven't used it yet but agree with your assessment of the colors. On Wednesday I received my IT Cosmetics IT Girl Limited Edition Palette from Ulta. The colors on the left side are in the brown family while the colors on the right are in the mauve family. Each side has a base color and two matte & two shimmery/satin colors ..... not at all too sparkly. They all look really pretty. So far I've only used the colors on the left and really like the look I have created. I'm happy with my purchase. Will let you know what I think if the Doll Palette as soon as I start playing with it.

I have at least 5 eye shadow palettes---and don't use any of them!!! Too many weird colors and now that I am home, no need for much make up--prob will throw them out. I do use Naked Decay---is that the right name?? the basic 5 neutral shadow palette so will keep that one.

Oy MY, @JudyL .. I found this palette on the Sephora Website: KAT VON D Shade + Light Eye Contour Palette ITEM 1848530. it looks really pretty. I think I'm in trouble.

@wagirl You can probably donate your eyeshadow palettes you don't use to someone in need. Here is an article of different options:

@Boehm Collector Oh my! Went and looked at the Kat Von D palette and that looks great! Did you see it has over 1400 - 5 star reviews?! Also looked at the IT one again so I could remember what you got. Both look wonderful. Ugh. No, Judy, No.

I used the Doll 10 eye shadow this morning. Used the top row and I must say its pretty light. The lightest color went on very well but felt that I had to put a lot on of the lightest brown to see much of anything. The mid-brown had more pigment. Did not use the darkest brown which could be used as a liner. In all fairness, it is the lightest of the rows and I remember the host saying that about it.. Anyway, I do like how it looks. Staying power shouldn't be a problem as I use a primer.

Let me know if you get the Kat Von D palette! LOL

Yes @JudyL .. I did notice the 1400+ - 5 star reviews. But I haven't had time to read them yet. I am really trying to restrain myself from purchasing it. LOL Thanks for the review of the top row of the Doll 10 palette. Glad you like how it looks in spite of it being light ... but that is probably really good for a daytime look.

mom--no, I wouldn't donate used make up no matter what. I have a real problem with that---wouldn't want it for myself either. If it were all packaged and sealed---a big maybe even then, but certainly not anything used.

@Boehm Collector and @mistriTsquirrel Hold the presses! The squirrel must have helped! Decided to go to Sephora at lunch to look at the Kat Von D palette. Sometimes its easier for me to decide about a palette if I see it in person rather than online. Looked at it, liked it, told myself that I have similar colors at home, and put it back. Didn't get it! Can't believe I passed on a neutral eyeshadow palette but I did! Almost had to sit down outside the store.....HAHA

The original matte one or the glimmer one? I have the matte and it's nice although I don't do neutrals a lot, it's a very nice palette. I almost bought the glimmer one too. Her Saint and Sinner holiday palette is incredible. I love that one. @Boehm Collector

Glad I could be of assistance, Ma'am.

Just think of me when you need help.

Hi @jaxs mom ... I just checked out the Saint and Sinner holiday palette. While there are some really pretty colors there are just too many I probably wouldn't use.

Hi @momoftwo2007 .. thanks so much for posting this info. I am definitely going to send the palettes I don't use to them!!!

JudyL — Sat, 11 Nov 2017 21:04:53 GMT

@Boehm Collector Don't feel bad about caving. Went to Ulta today and yep, I caved. On the IT eyeshadow palette you bought. The one with the sparkly cover. They had it sitting right out in front as soon as I walked in the door! How could I not look at it?! Really like the colors. Ugh. Had gone in to get some Tarte foundation - that was it, that was all I was going to get. Yeah, right. Ended up with the Tarte foundation, the IT bye bye redness - think I like this better than the Sephora color correctors - a Tarte lippe holiday set - they look like big crayons, this was a miss for me and will be taking them back, and then the IT eyeshadow palette. The packaging on the IT eyeshadow palette got me. I'll admit it. But then I do like the colors a lot too.

Came home and went through everything I have and organized it. Have a small stack of stuff for Project Beauty. I"m done now. I swear it.

@momoftwo2007 Thank you for posting about Project Beauty. Checked out their website and have a few things I'll be sending them. Also happened to mention it to the sales person at Ulta this morning and she was really excited about it. She wrote the name down so she wouldn't forget.
