I am a sucker for a palette & especially a nude palette – I purchased the L’Oréal La Palette Nude Rose first last year & although at first I thought it was a little pricey, after a few uses I realised the eyeshadows are fantastic quality, and you get 10 shadows in each palette. I love the selection of colours in the Rose palette, they range from a light cream to more rosy shades & a gorgeous deep plum.
Then I purchased the newer L’Oréal La Palette Nude Beige earlier this year & they have both been welcome additions to my makeup stash. I hope L’Oréal release more of these, I would like to see an all Matte option, I think that would be perfect.
It’s a versatile palette and you can get create a lot of different looks with the shades, I am not normally one to reach for plums or pink tones, but this palette has changed my mind. As you can see from the swatches the shadows are pigmented and apart from the first light cream colour the rest are buttery and blend like a dream. You get 6 shimmers and 4 matte colours, so a good mix for a high street palette.
The packaging is identical on both palettes and feels luxurious, it’s black & gold, which adds to its sleek look. Although the packaging is plastic, it’s not flimsy or cheep looking but feels robust & shuts tight so It won’t open in your makeup bag. The palette is compact and great for travel, there is also a good size mirror too which is always handy.
Although I really like the Rose palette, when I heard that L’Oréal were releasing a Nude version, I was so excited & I wasn’t to be disappointed. The colours are beautiful and ideal for creating a warm neutral smokey eye, and although I probably have identical shades in all my other neutral palettes, I really like the formula and pigmentation of these L’Oréal ones. Much like the Rose palette, you get 10 shadows, 4 of which are matte & 6 are more shimmery. It’s good that both palettes have very different colours in, so they’re well worth investing in both.
As you can see from the swatches, the colour is bold and very wearable, even the deep grey is easy to blend and isn’t chalky. I love that you get a good mix of neutral colours from taupe, gold to more copper and a lovely deep grey.
I have to say It’s a neutral palette that has been getting a lot of use, I have travelled with it a few times, and it’s been all I needed, I didn’t take any other eye shadows. As I said, these palettes are so slim and perfect for travel.
