Huda Beauty’s Mercury Retrograde Palette

[GeorginaBT]

Prepare yourself for some out-of-this-world newness: Huda Beauty’s Mercury Retrograde eyeshadow palette (HUDA BEAUTY - Mercury Retrograde Eyeshadow Palette)! Available online and in-stores on October 31st, this palette’s eighteen stunning shades will give you endless opportunities to create a variety of looks.

This cosmic beauty holds nine creamy mattes, six pearly metallics, two dazzling multi-reflective shades, and a sparkly silver glitter. From warm shades to cool shades, bold brights to soft neutrals, Mercury Retrograde gives you so many options to create the eye look of your dreams.

I was so excited to get my hands on the palette and let me tell you: these shadows did not disappoint. The matte shades are buildable and incredibly easy to apply, and the metallic/glitter shades are crazy pigmented. See how beautifully these eyeshadows swatch below!  

Check out @KatieBT's super pretty eye look!

With infinite combinations and techniques, what is YOUR go-to eyeshadow routine?

@meganlisa So exciting!! Glad that you're loving the glitters as much as I am; I definitely agree with you on feeling like this is a palette I can use daily. The rosy shades are right up my alley. 

Would love to see an eye look you put together with this beauty!

@GeorginaBT I'll try to post some photos this weekend, once I've tried a few looks.  So far, I'm loving the looks I've been creating.  Initially, it was neutrals with a little glitter but I've been mixing in some of the colors.  The roses and lilacs are stunning.  Well, the whole palette is stunning.  For me this is a great palette.

@GeorginaBT @KatieBT Purchased.  Today.  These photos (and some others) totally sold me.  And I got this one as well (been wanting it so, so much since the last 20% off).

Today I blew through my eye shadow budget.  For quite a while.  Oops.

[KatieBT]

@meganlisa oh yay, I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this beautiful palette! Do you own any of Huda's other larger palettes?

[meganlisa]

@KatieBT I own desert dusk and love it.  I've been eyeing the new neutrals but the releases this year have been so tempting and we can't buy them all (unfortunately).  I have started trying out looks with this palette and will try to get a photo up this weekend - once I've perfected!  I've been playing around with mixing in a little of the brights with the neutrals so that it's work appropriate.  No issues for me with glitter at work!  Work appropriate or not, I wear them.

Huda has some great products.  I keep seeing the recent lipstick release display at my local sephora and it is always selling out!

[KatieBT]

@meganlisa I love that - no shame in the glitter game!! I can't wait to see your perfected looks - the bright shades are so beautiful and I think you can get really creative with ways to make them pop at work. I loved putting the aqua shade (Haze) in my inner corners with a neutral shade like Crash in my crease. 

I also own HUDA BEAUTY - Desert Dusk Eyeshadow Palette - this is definitely one of my favorite palettes of all-time! I always get so excited by the purple shades and end up being more creative than I would with my neutral palettes.

@KatieBT Desert Dusk is one on my all time favorites as well.  This year I finally broke down and got the ND Sunset palette and that one surged to the top of the heap immediately.  While I love a good basic taupe, I prefer adding a little color or glitter - even to work.

@meganlisa, I tend to buy all at once, too.  Love the colors in your new palettes.  You may be one of the first people to get the Goldenland palette!

[meganlisa]

@curlychiquita It hasn't shipped yet!  So we will see if I am one of the first to get Goldenland.  That has happened to me before (order, yes; ship, no).  I skipped a number of other recent eye shadow palette releases but decided to make up for it in a day.  So tempting today.
