Alter Ego gifted me this palette. They are a company that makes “dupes” for popular palettes done by well known brands. This one is a dupe of the Natasha Denona Gold palette, which I don’t have to compare it to. I can compare the general formula, though, as I’ve tried quite a few of Natasha’s palettes.
The NYX Ultimate Utopia Palette contains 40 shades of eyeshadows and pressed pigments in a wide range of colors and finishes. Each shade is 1 gram / 0.03 oz. It retails for $35 and can be purchased from NYX Cosmetics or Ulta.
Nars Soft Matte Complete Foundation is described as “a full coverage, natural-looking matte foundation that resists shifting shades throughout the day due to oxidation, and features comfortable 16-hour wear.” It comes in 34 shades and retails for $40.
The Natasha Denona Lila Palette is one of the brand’s older palettes and was one of the first to cater to those looking for a purple palette. At the time, I remember there not being a whole lot of options for palettes that had lots of purple shadows in them.
The Natasha Denona Love Palette was released for Valentine’s Day this year. It is mostly a purple, pink, and red themed palette with a few neutral shades thrown in. There are 6 shimmers, 7 mattes, and 2 cream/powder hybrids that have a nearly matte finish. It retails for $65 and contains a total net weight of 19.25 grams / 0.67 ounces.
The Natasha Denona Bronze Palette contains 15 shades mostly concentrated in the gold, orange, and red color families. 9 of them are shimmers, 5 are matte, and one of the shades (Deep Dive) is a cream/powder hybrid with a nearly matte finish. It retails for $65 and contains a total of 19.25 grams / 0.67 oz of product.
The Natasha Denona Safari Palette contains 15 matte eyeshadows in a fairly wide range of shades and depths. Each shade is 2.5 grams / 0.08 oz. This palette has been around for years and is now on sale on their website for 50% off its original retail price of $129.
The Huda Beauty Haze Obsessions Palettes offer a softer, more muted take on color. Each palette contains a total of 5.8 grams / 0.2 oz of product and retails for $29.
The Anastasia Beverly Hills Micro-Stroking Detailing Brow Pen is claimed to be “a waterproof, superfine-tipped pen ideal for creating realistic hair-strokes that will give you your most natural-looking brows yet”. It contains 0.5 ml / 0.017 fl oz of product and it retails for $22.
