Essence recently came out with these little monochromatic six pan palettes. It looks like there are currently 8 of them, all of them with 3 mattes and 3 shimmers. The Taupe It Up one having lots of grey in it seemed most interesting to me.
What caught my eye about the Huda Beauty Rose Quartz Palette is that it’s sort of like a neutral palette but with a little more color and some fun textures.
The ColourPop So Jaded Palette is an older collaboration between Kathleen Lights and ColourPop. I started doing looks with it in November and at that time it was still (surprisingly) available on the ColourPop website. As far as I can tell, it seems to be discontinued now.
The Alter Ego Artemis Palette is supposed to be a dupe of Natasha Denona’s Metropolis Palette, not only in the color selection but also in the formulation of some of the cream/powder hybrid shades. There are 28 shades and it retails for $22.
The Alter Ego Aurora Palette contains 15 pans in the yellow, orange, red, and pink color families. It is supposed to be a dupe, or at least a very similar version of the Natasha Denona Sunrise Palette. There is a total of 13.5 grams / 0.48 oz of product.
The Alter Ego Goddess Palette is a 15 pan eyeshadow palette that was created as a “dupe” for the well known Natasha Denona Gold Palette. It contains 13.5 grams / 0.48 oz of product.
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.
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.
