@makeitup305  I hope you find at least one INNBeauty winner in that set. (I’ve only ever tried their sunscreen.) Also hope you like the Rare Beauty highlighter! 

I’m noticing an overall color story among those palettes and the highlighter. Feels like it’s been ages since I used an UD Moondust shadow… I might need to rectify that soon. 😂

[makeitup305]

@WinglessOne Sparkles galore! The UD palette has two super sparkly shades on the left but the ones on the right aren't as sparkly. I'm wondering if maybe you're supposed to use them to layer the others over them. I haven't tried it on the eyes yet, so we'll see. Space Cowboy Rides Again is probably one of the sparkliest shades I own, and that's saying something. I still have some Patrick Ta duos coming, too.

I love that Huda Beauty palette, @makeitup305!

[makeitup305]

@curlychiquita I posted some swatches and tagged you!

@makeitup305, those are some fun palettes you picked up. Hope the INNBeauty items work out for you - I like the eye cream and have heard some good things about the moisturizer. 

[makeitup305]

@itsfi I've tried the eye cream before and liked it but had issues with pilling. I've been wondering if it was the products under it that conflicted so I want to give it another shut.

How do you like the Paris Corner fragrances, @makeitup305 ?

[makeitup305]

So far so good @CookieGirl1 . I like the Minya Green more than the Royal Cotton but I like both. I feel like they lack a little complexity and depth but that might come once they macerate from what I hear.

@makeitup305  beautiful hauls! Those palettes look so pretty! Hope you enjoy everything!

[makeitup305]

@makeitup305 Wow - Enjoy those palettes! They are beautiful.  I was thinking of picking up Icy Nude, but it sold out before I made up my mind...

[makeitup305]

@PrettyPaint I posted some thoughts on it below, in case you’re interested. Let me now if you need swatches!

[PrettyPaint]

@makeitup305 Thanks! That's really helpful. I don't always prefer chunky or glittery shades, so I'm not sure how well this would work for me. 

[makeitup305]

@PrettyPaint they don’t appear chunky on the eye once you smooth it out but they definitely pick up on the thicker side when you use a finger. The glitter I’m probably never using. I do like the selection of mattes but idk if the palette overall is a must for me.

Wonderful! I was going to try to get in and swatch Icy Nude this weekend, but didn’t;t make it. Maybe this week. I feel like I don’t need it, but that might change when I swatch it! Enjoy everything! @makeitup305 

[makeitup305]

@sister13 let me know if you want swatches, I can post some for you. I tried it today and I have some thoughts. The mattes are very nice. They’re smooth and blendable. The shimmers have a few different formulas. Iced out, VVS, and Diamond Dew are a the most sparkly and they’re a thicker, chunkier formula- similar to some indie shadows I’ve used. They’re pigmented but need to be smoothed out on the lid a little bit. Aurora and Platinum are your standard creamy, full coverage metallics. Gold Standard is more powdery and not as reflective. I’m not sure if it’s just on me (these peachy golds don’t seem to flatter me), but it looks kind of dull when I put it on my eyes. That one is a dud for me but may not be for others. I hate Bling (the glitter). I don’t know how you would be able to use this without getting it all over. Unlike some other pressed glitters I’ve tried, this one does not seem to have any binding agent in it so it’s just loose sparkles pressed tightly in a pan. 

[curlychiquita]

Thanks for the feedback, @makeitup305!

[sister13]

Hmm, good to hear your thoughts. I know what you mean about some of those golds not working. If you have a chance to get some swatches, please tag me! @makeitup305
