Rustic Glam

Dominique Cosmetics Rustic Glam Eyeshadow Palette ($44.00 for 0.63 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette that features 12 shades across a few neutrals along with pops of color ranging from blue to pink to green. The color story was interesting--a bit different than what we've seen in the past--and most of the shades performed well with good pigmentation, blendability, and eight-hour wear.

I commented previously here (and you can read some of the discussion on that post as well) with respect to the brand using the word g*psy as a shade name; it is a word that's historical context and use has made it a racial slur against the Romani people. As I said before, I had hoped that the brand would address it/apologize (and learn from it), as it is a limited edition palette and wouldn't expect a re-run of it, but I haven't seen anything from the brand at this point (please feel free to let me know otherwise). Here are a few articles of interest for those who would like to understand more: article one, article two, and video one.
