I wish I was either 15 or 85 years old so I could pull off this palette ?
This actually swatched better than I was expecting. The majority of the shadows in the palette look decent to nice and, frankly, those Blushlights probably work better as mini eye palettes. I just don’t see too many people wearing such “unwearable” shades on their faces. If I didn’t already know what the Blushlights are I’d automatically assume that’s what they are. But then again, I’m old. Maybe the young whippersnappers these days are wearing crazy colors. They need to get off my lawn ?
Gamma Ray works fine as blush. It’s just way too pigmented and I need to figure out what brush would be better to apply it with. I bought the collection but Ultraviolet was completely smashed, I can’t wait to get the replacement and try it out.
Man everyone is coming out with colour palettes which is great but this one is an easy pass by now as i have purchased these type of shades in other palettes. 😉
I do love the purples and teal/aqua shades, but I don’t really use neons that often. And when I do, it’s almost always UD Electric palette, or just a pop of orange or lime. So, I don’t know that I’m feeling this collection.
Ooo-ahhhh!! I have yet to get a Melt palette because I don’t wear dark eyeshadows ever, but this palette really speaks to me!! I love rainbow colors, shimmers, especially pinks and purples!!! I wish I could swap ‘Arsenic’ with that great light teal in the Smoke Session palette – I want that palette for that ONE shadow ‘Sweet Tooth’!! I’ll probably get this and the Sugarpill Fun Size palette, because I’m a sucker for a rainbow/colorful palette!! ?
Very pretty bright shades. There seem to be a few similar shades in this palette also. Is that a trend or something? A lot of palettes have been released recently that have very similar shades. I have purchased the Coy palette and a couple of other bright shade palettes so I am good for now.
Can confirm that arsenic is not the least bit radioactive (unless you bung it in a nuclear reactor) and you also really don’t want it near your eyes. Not that I suggest you go around licking uranium either…
I’m not into neons in any way, shape or form so this doesn’t appeal to me at all.
I have yet to try any Melt eyeshadows, but this may be the palette that pulls me in. I love a good rainbow palette and really want to try out their formula, though I do already have a few rainbow palettes to dupe this. Decisions, decisions!

This is the first Melt release that I’ve been “meh” on. Pink lipstick and neon eyeshadows just aren’t for me.

Hazmat is beautiful! I wish I wore enough neons to warrant buying any more than I already have

Lol, me too!
ha, great comment, but get it anyway and pull it off!

The ultraviolet blush is so gorgeous!
The palette looks great, but I’ve got the colors duped. I’m interested in how the blushes perform. They look really pretty!

Well, it all sure lives up to the name of the collection but this stuff is just not for me at all; just not my personal style.
Both the blushes are kind of fascinating; weird how Gamma Ray seems to go slightly cool when all three parts are blended together.

My bad, I hit the swatch button before looking at what the products were and thought they were all e/s!
The blushes are so cute. If they are tiny enough, could live in my purse. Wonder how they blend out.
Bigger than the regular blushlight and heavier.

Hooley Dooley – this is a bright one! The swatches look pretty good too.
