Maybelline The NUDES

I have enough nude palettes to last me through a lifetime, but I can't seem to stop getting more. Another moment of weakness happened when I spotted this gorgeous The Nudes palette by Maybelline.

It came out quite some time ago, but never emerged on Slovenian markets and I was quite happy when I finally spotted it in Austria.

Even though the color selection reminded me strongly of my beloved Naked 2 palette, I still wanted to try it out. First of all, it's a great makeup bag size, amazing for traveling and very hand for on-the-go touch-ups.

There are 12 shades in the palette, a lovely selection of matte, satin and glitter finishes. The quality of them is surprisingly well; I was really impressed with the pigmentation and the staying power. In all honesty, it's not as good as the Naked 2 for example, but with a bit of an eye primer, it should last you through a day without a problem.

Some shades are more pigmented than others, but even the mattes are quite pigmented and easy to work with. What I also like about the palette is that I really do use every single color in there, and they all work very well together.

It spent quite a big portion of the summer in my makeup bag, went with me on a summer holiday and became my go-to choice for quite a while.  

My only complaint is the lousy applicator that I really have no use for, I'd much rather have a nice small mirror somewhere in there, -but I always use my own brushes so this doesn't really seem such a downside to me.

Overall, it's a really good drugstore palette that offers you a great selection of nudes for a fraction of the price (it costs around 10€) you would pay for a high-end palette with similar colors. 

It is a perfect choice for fall with a lovely selection of brown shades, but will get you well through winter and other months as well.

Thanks for reading and see you in my next post!
