shades of every makeup fanatics dreams, boasting beautiful buttery matte neutrals, a variety of gold and rose gold shimmers and a few hints of vibrant pinks throughout the palette.

With the swatches, I used my fingers and they appear to be completely smooth and buttery and incredibly pigmented but with a brush, I find the colour to be more diffused, less metallic and needs more blending work. I was literally amazed to see the color selection in the rose gold textured eyeshadow palette, even though it had mixed reviews plus was quite expensive I could not resist purchasing it.

Fast forward to 2018 and we wanted to reintroduce our Rose Gold Palette, with completely new and never seen before formulas, listening to everything you guys wanted!The pigmentation of the shades is amazing they are so easy to blend and do not require a large amount of product to create a bold look. The shimmer eyeshadows felt more like a cream-powder hybrid (that felt more like a cream than a powder in the end). They are harder to use than the typical shimmer eyeshadow, though they seemed to stay more reflective and foiled--but one could just use a metallic, powder eyeshadow with a dampened brush to achieve the same result with less effort. It’s a limited edition palette as I heard its going get discontinued after the new desert dusk palette launch.

Now you can sweep them on with a brush and easily blend them without making a mess all over your undereye area. When it comes to the actual eyeshadow formula, the mattes are absolutely more pigmented and the shimmers have so much more dimension, and I LOVE the new pink diamond shade. The packaging on the original palette was one downside, so it’s nice that Huda has now upgraded the packaging and included a mirror. I am not a huge fan of this formula as its quite dense , bouncy and not the easiest to work with , it applies best with fingers only plus have little fallout too .

So, once we knew it was something people really loved, my team and I decided to start completely remastering the formulas, taking into account EVERYTHING that EVERYONE said! Blessed, Moon Dust and Bubbly are the palettes highlighting shades that although look similar at first glance, they actually pull different colours, one being a bronze, the other a champagne and the last one a pinky hue. This is supposed to be a transformed version of Huda’s first edition, which I don’t own as I used to avoid rosy shades on my eyes, so I can’t compare the two.

The biggest changes (in my opinion) are the four new colors, the mattes being more pigmented, and the different melted formula that doesn’t need to be used with your fingers. The middle row is my absolute favourite as it's so warm toned and you can pretty much create a full look using all of the shades as there is a crease colour, all over lid shade and inner corner highlight too. For me the only finish which I look out for in this palette are the matte ones as they literally blend like a butter . The pans are glued down quite securely into their grooves and I think it would have been easier if you had some sort of heating element to melt the glue a little before attempting to pry them out.It was just so important to us that it should be a palette for everyone; I wanted to share the colors that I loved and used daily, that truly suit every mood or any look. The only thing I would say is that one or two of the shades (glitters) do not come out as beautiful as they look in the pan like the others. We’ve taken our unique foil formula and reinvented it in an even more lustrous finish, that can now be used with a brush, or for an extreme liquid metal finish, you can use your fingers. The top row is full of shimmers ranging from a vivid pink to a string orange that I'm not sure how much wear out of them I'll get but I can definitely incorporate them into different looks. Generally, I don’t have any issues with the shadows; they are incredibly pigmented and feels so ridiculously soft and buttery.
