Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette

By Mariella 1 year ago.

It's not often that I will order a makeup product online without getting to see it for myself, "for real". But Christine's review highlighting the good quality of this palette and the eye look she did - well, it did the trick. These shadows are - with one less than fabulous performer - are so good and the colours - those murky khaki/taupe mixes and that warm, glowing gold - are just so appealing and are my real Achilles heel when it comes to eyeshadow colours. What really surprised me is the bottom left shade. I thought it would be too peachy, blah and dark to work for me as a lid shade for "no makeup" looks but it is actually really good and a natural and flattering shade. Great little palette with nice packaging too!

Color story is nice. Quality of WnW shadows are better than these at a fraction of the price. Not impressed.

After 1 year of weekly use I can say that the quality of this palette overall falls somewhere in the middle. I don't think it's amazing, but it's mostly easy to work with and lasts well throughout the day. The mattes are quite chalky to the touch but perform nicely on the eye and are easily buildable and blendable. The shimmers are mostly chonky and have fall out through the day. The color story in the pans is quite nice, it looses quite a bit of variation on the eye though. Shades #3 and #8 are basically dupes, the only difference is that shade #8 shows up as a more vibrant version of shade #3 and it's useless in terms of deepening up the look if paired with shade #3. The shimmers #6 and #9 are technically two very different shimmers, but once they are on the eye together you can barely tell them apart. Shade #2 is also barely distinguishable if paired with shade #6. Shade #4 pulls so orangey that it almost dupes shade #2, there are only slight textural differences. The stand out shades to me are the 3 in the bottom row. The brown is very rich with a slight hint of purple and fits perfectly all the other shades as a deepening shade. The brick red matte next to it is possibly the best matte in the palette. It's creamier and very easy to build up or blend out. The shimmer shade is just very versatile and easy to incorporate, also the slight duochrome effect is a big plus. In terms of versatility there is nothing much one can do besides going full orange, or rosy-orange

This palette is really good because there are not a lot of things in the market that has this color scheme. I think the shimmers are very pigmented and because of the small size, you can travel with it. I highly recommend this product.

First off I love the premise of the obsession palettes, but in some colours I do feel like the quality is lacking. The shimmers are out of this world, but I did find some of the mattes to be somewhat dry and unpigmented. I was particularly excited for the top row middle colour, the bright coral red, however it is not as vibrant as I would have liked. the center colour is the perfect blending colour though, and its possible to make a lot of different looks with the colours. Overall its a really nice mini-palette, and you get a lot of product for a reasonable price, in addition to it being super east to travel with or slip in your purse. It was a nice introduction to Huda beauty products, and I would absolutely recommend it.

I was a sucker for the 50% off sale that Sephora just had on these, although I really liked Warm Brown Obsessions, the only Obsessions palette I had previously. I’m shocked at how good these are. They are incredibly creamy and beautiful, with interesting colors and intense pigment. The brown shades, which look like they might be the boring colors of the bunch, are truly gemstone-like in their intense shine and brilliance; they are also my favorites! They are stunning on green eyes. Huda Beauty is hit or miss, but this is a clear hit!

Beautiful color scheme, but tricky to use and blend. I was a tad disappointed as I expected better pigmentation (this one is B- like to me).

Mattes are dry and kind of powdery, but the colors build well. The shimmers are very creamy and smooth. This is a great palette to add some fun colors to your collection
