Swatches
Swatches: Natasha Denona Love Palette
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.
Swatches: Menagerie Cosmetics Pastel Pup Palette
The Menagerie Cosmetics Pastel Pup Palette contains 12 shades of eyeshadows and pressed pigments. There is a total of 24 grams of product and it retails for $36.
Swatches: Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipsticks
Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipsticks come in 10 shades, contain 2.8 g / .098 oz, and retail for $22 each. From swatching, these are definitely sheer and feel smooth and not sticky on the lips. They are a little thicker in texture than I imagined they would be but not enough to be uncomfortable.
Swatches: Makeup Geek Soft Focus Colors
These six shades are Makeup Geek’s most recent addition to their eyeshadow line. They are calling them their “Soft Focus” shades. I thought they would be more pastel when I first saw them online but they are a bit on the brighter side. I’m not mad about it. Looking forward to playing with these.
Swatches: NYX Ultimate Utopia Palette
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.
Swatches: ColourPop All Things Equinox Palette
The ColourPop All Things Equinox Palette is a relatively cool-toned palette featuring some lilac and mauve shades along with a couple of subtle duo-chromes.
Swatches: ColourPop She’s Got Solstice Palette
The ColourPop She’s Got Solstice Palette is a very warm toned palette containing quite a few peachy coral shades, a pale greenish-gold, two duochromes and a sparkly topper shade. It is exclusive to Ulta, retails for $14, and contains a total 9 grams / 0.3 oz of product.
