I paid $16 for mine at TJ Maxx and I love it for the office. The greens are subtle but pretty pigmented and compliment green eyes - I get compliments but that’s also because I’m just good with eyeshadow technique. Laurens right it’s not something I’d pay more than $20 for due to the boring color story and the fact you can get Naked palettes for $19 during a lot of sales and they’re better formulas

Thank god someone else said it about the ND pastel palette. I was so disappointed with it. I'm a light skin tone and could hardly get most of the colors to show up and be vibrant. I had to dig into the shadows and pack them on to get any sort of payoff. I really should have returned it. Because I haven't touched it for the majority of the year. What a letdown.

Nice to know someone else still holds shadows to a high standard. I am old fashion; I believe a shadow should perform effortlessly without needing a primer! When I saw Nars' climax palette online, I was immediately stoked. Paid a lot of money, & most of the shadows just don't last more than a few hours without running/creasing. Sure, they may work fine with a primer but I have countless shadows that do well entirely on their own. I now hold all shadows to the same standard. Back in my teens, we NEVER used primers; it didn't really exist.

I actually really like the Wild Greens palette... so much, in fact, that it's the palette I used for my wedding makeup in October.

"Continue to not have it on your radar" LOOOL, so shady, I love it.

The hand soap story was 😂hysterical. No ty to shooting acid soap, bahaha. Those cheek dews were horrible. They stayed sticky too, yuck. The abt face eye paints are so good.

Oh God thank you! I thought I was the only one in the world who didn't like the elf camo concealer. Everybody else raved about it and I just couldn't make it work for me. I am light complected too and they looked very yellow on me and they just made my under eye area look like I just came from the crypt!

I know people hate the Hindash palettes for a lot of reasons but I guess I love it for the same reasons and I appreciated how Hindash really promoted it so much on his channel, it taught me what his intention was with it. I have both and I really, really, really want the liquid blushes/highlighters (boytears) and I know his stuff is really pigmented in liquid form but kinda the opposite in the powder form. One of the things I’ve learned from watching beauty KZread frequently for the first time in my life over the past year or so @ age 30, peak mid millennial, is that there’s such a wide range of opinions on what “good formula” is and that there’s also this very distinct set of features that’s well liked on beauty KZread that’s not universal. I love that, though, because it gives me a frame of reference and when y’all review items and tell me why you don’t like them, I can make judgements on if they’re still likely to work for me. As someone who own Beautopsy and Monochromance, I was surprised with how much it was hated on KZread because I saved for them both at or very close to Launch and use them religiously, but it was an excellent learning experience for me in that regard! I love and appreciate the opinions, even when it’s “and I hate this thing you love,” because I love monochromance because of its very distinct difference from everything else I like. I enjoy the fact that it’s for that “color from within your skin” affect, and the fact that it’s beautifully designed for a very clean, sanitary, brush focused application. In any case, loving your content as always! I actually discovered your channel about a year ago first before other current beauty KZreadrs and then found Angelica and more - but yall are my two faves for sheer variety and descriptive honesty. Keep being awesome!

Also, Lauren, if you like some of the qualities of that formula that look like it’s coming from within but like a more hearty formula for eyeshadow that will let you dig in a bit more and has more distinct and immediate pigment, I HIGHLY recommend Lunatick Cosmetic Labs. You might like it, you might not, but it would be very interesting to see what your opinion is. I got their “stained glass” pastel palette with the huge pans and it’s my fave by far for formula on pastels and also because it has a white that mixes SO well to create new shades of pastel. OFC, blend bunny too but that’s a given. Need to catch up on noctilucent and All Done Up so I can have their entire collection again. Also… can’t WAIT to try the All Done Up liners and liquid lipsticks - they seem amazing. Actually I’d say if there was a combo or Hindash’s formula and blend bunny’s, it would be kind of like Lunatick’s.

love the lipstick headband combo!!! soooo gorgeous

I got the Beautopsy from Hindash last year because it was so hyped, and I was sooo excited myself and then... I couldn't get any pigment on my light medium skin to show up other than the red shade...I returned it since I got it on Beautylish. I was very disappointed, especially since the whole appeal was that a painter ( I love painting myself ) came up with it. The ideas was phenomenal, the execution was another story. So I just couldn't bring myself to pick up anything else from Hindash, which is a shame, and this palette proves once again that this formula is just not for me.

Hilarious video!! I love the MBM palette but I agree with everything you said about it. For me, those are benefits, if that makes sense. I love that it's very one-noted bc that is THE note that I want. Pastel and Retro Glam were disappointments.

29:40 WET N WILD MEGA SLIM SKINNY TIP LINER. Holy grail better than any other liner I’ve ever used imo. Not that easy to find anymore but if you can find it, snatch it up. I have super hooded eyes and my wing has to be so tight and that’s the only one that I don’t have to work so hard with.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that hated the pixi formula. It literally did not build-up, it disappeared with time, they were not true to color, I always got fall out (even with their mattes, which is odd) and they separated in my eye balls. It was awful.

I got the Natasha Denona palette as a gift and while I really enjoy mixing the solid pastels with colors from other palettes, the shimmery shades had a lot of glitter fallout and they’re not very pigmented. I was expecting a pop of yellow from limoncello, but it’s really just a messy white glitter. They need to step it up.

Red just is the perfect colour. You look amazing!

I adore the formula of that Too Faced Pillow Balm! The chocolate one is definitely... Different lol. I can get past the scent/flavor of it because the formula works so well for me. Personally I love the banana one but I'll use either flavor happily. I have 2 tubes of the banana and 1 of the chocolate. I keep them around for a dry-lip rescue procedure !
