Nothing here really makes my heart sing. He is definitely sticking to his “professional MUA” angle with the lip palette, but I don’t need or want anything like that.
I do like the price point on those quads, though! The rosy one is pretty but I don’t think I’ll end up picking it up. If you review it well though, I might have to think about it!
Why am I inextricably drawn to this blue eyeshadow quad? Like; WHY?
As for everything else, especially the lip palette: nope. I don’t bother with the two MAC lip trios I already own hardly ever as it is, nevermind a great big one like this!
Possibly (?) The lip gloss? I’ll wait for swatches and the end of the pandemic, probably. Don’t know.
I like that there is a brush included on the liners. I usually have to go on a fishing expedition to find the brush I use to smudge my liners (I have a couple, but they are travel sized and get lost in my makeup brush holder!). If this brush is nice it would definitely be a perk. Not sure about the shadows. I like the blue one in theory, but know I’ll very rarely use it so I don’t “need” it in my collection.
“Rose Nude — Peach”? I’m sorry, what?
The quads looik interesting and I like their colour stories – they have quite a variation of shades within them to create quite a few looks. The blue quad would be my favourite, as I like the inclusion of both the silver and gold shade for contrast. Very pretty.
The larger palette is not for me, and I think that colour story has been done many times before.
It’s so weird to see all these newly-launched brands coming out with holiday collections before even really establishing themselves as a brand. The rare beauty performed well, hopefully this one will too.
