That's going to shut down the website 🤦🏾‍♀️ it's so beautiful 💜

[WinglessOne]

@Sakenia  Ironically, Natasha’s site has actually had some epic crashes during sales, especially the BOGO sale she used to have. 😅 But yeah, I can see lots of people buying Roxa. Are you gonna pick it up? I’m waiting for Ulta to get it so I can use points on it. 

[CynthieLu]

💜🤩 those are 3 lovely swatches and a brand new formula too?  @danielledanielle  I really wish she'd come back to a Canadian retailer 😭

[danielledanielle]

It's available at Beautylish 😭, I know that's not the same, especially with the duties @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

There's that for sure and the palette breakage with travel ( and some retailers take no responsibility for damages during shipping to Canada 💔) @danielledanielle 

I may cave but I'm hoping ND will come back too us one day. 

[danielledanielle]

Beautylish at least has a good reputation for packaging @CynthieLu , but it would be so much better for a direct line for Canada

[CynthieLu]

That's good to know, thank you @danielledanielle  🩷

I may order one day but I haven't worked up the courage to try any yet. 🙈 It's kind of a leap of faith I'm not ready to take.

[CynthieLu]

Inside peeks at ND's new palette from IG

I'm super curious for swatches now 😍💜

[CookieGirl1]

@CynthieLu I think she said that she's posting swatches today, right?  

[danielledanielle]

Should be, I think two days ago was a the initial teaser, then this and the "leak." I'm sure after the shade drops, we will get the comparison palette post, which I always appreciate @CookieGirl1 @CynthieLu 

[CookieGirl1]

@danielledanielle I'm impressed that the palette didn't actually leak for once!  It's like she's trying to just cut to the chase and do the reveals herself for a change, lol.

[danielledanielle]

@CookieGirl1, I honestly think the social media team does the "leaks" deliberately, but I agree it's nice to have an actual reveal

[CookieGirl1]

@danielledanielle I would agree with you on the planned "leaks" but more than anything I think it frustrates me that ND then acts indignant about the whole thing and threatens creators who also go ahead and share said "leaks".  It's shady business and in light of all of that I'd rather just see her present her palette herself.

[CynthieLu]

I heard today too @danielledanielle @CookieGirl1 exciting!! 

😃

[WinglessOne]

@CynthieLu  What I immediately thought of: 

Top to bottom: Retro, Roxa, and Love palettes by Natasha Denona.

I don’t have Love or Retro (because I have Lila), but I’ve been tempted by Retro. I imagine folks will swatch-compare Roxa and Love which seem closer than Roxa and Retro. And even though Roxa’s full of pinks, they’re more purple/plum-leaning—which is why I’m so interested in that palette. Very interested to see swatches and formulas used. 

[CynthieLu]

That's a really good comparison shot, retro almost looses it purple hue's in line with those two. @WinglessOne thank you for finding and posting that!

I thought of love and sunrise when I first saw this palette's inside peak. Sunrise only has a couple of purple's in it but the bright colors had my mind to you those two.  💜

I hope we get those swatches soon. I'm very curious as well. 🙂

[WinglessOne]

@CynthieLu  You know, I don’t use Sunrise very often for some reason. I like that palette but apparently I like my other NDs a bit more? Sheesh, I should devote a couple weeks to using Sunrise exclusively. (Note to self.) 

That comparison image is just a quick collage I made of those 3 palettes, using brand photos of each palette. 😉 My very first reaction to Roxa was “that is Love 2.0.” Followed by “eh, maybe a little Retro too… Love and Retro’s baby.” So I grabbed photos of all 3 palettes and decided to compare ‘em. Roxa and Love look even more similar when I crop out each palette’s case color and digitally alter Roxa’s pan holder from purple to black, bringing visual focus to just the pan colors: 

Top to bottom: Retro, Roxa, and Love palettes.

Even before I see swatches and formula descriptions for the new palette, I like Roxa better than Love. Roxa seems cooler toned than Love and contains no gold. I’m happy to see Natasha release something like this (even though it’s pink) after I Need a Warm and Golden. 👍

[CookieGirl1]

I think that Roxa is much more appealing than Love as well, @WinglessOne .  I own Retro but I could justify adding Roxa to my collection; they look different enough to me and I appreciate that she broke up the pink-ness of Roxa with a couple of complimentary berries and purples.  Not sure how I'll feel about that marble shade, though--I know that it looks cool in the pan but I rarely actually appreciate how those types of shades look when they're swatched out.

[CynthieLu]

@WinglessOne you made the photo? that's so neat! 🤩

It is very handy when thinking mentally about comparing them to have this image in this presentation. Thank you again! 💜💜

I don't need another palette but if this was sold in Canada I think I'd be seriously considering getting it, or trying very hard to resist picking it up is more accurate, lol. 🤗

I've yet to order from ND direct. That's a mountain and hurdle I haven't tried yet. 

@CookieGirl1 it's interesting that you mentioned the mixed pan, I've never been thrilled with those kinds either. But never one from ND that I can remember. 🤔

[CookieGirl1]

@CynthieLu it sucks that you can't readily get ND in Canada anymore 😕.

[WinglessOne]

@CynthieLu @CookieGirl1  Marbled eyeshadows are so hit or miss. I mean sure, you can theoretically customize how much of each color is used on your lid. That’s how some of us deal with Hourglass AL marbled blushes that contain less blush pigment than finishing powder. But an HG blush pan (aside from small quad pans) is bigger than an eyeshadow pan and thus easier to work with that way. Eh, we’ll see how this marbled shadow performs soon enough. 

I can see owning Roxa and Retro; they’re definitely different enough. Roxa has a brighter/bolder color story, for starters. No shame in owning both! 

And I do still wish Canadians had a local source for Natasha Denona stuff. I’ve ordered direct from ND several times with no issues, aside from that one time shipping took forever (it was during one of her site crashes). The only time I’ve received a broken ND palette, it was shipped from Sephora—and it was a mini palette, so it wasn’t padded like the larger ND palettes usually are.
