Sydney Grace Mountain Trail Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches (2022)
Mountain Trail
Sydney Grace Mountain Trail 9-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($33.00 for 0.54 oz.) was originally released as a bundle of single pan eyeshadows, and it’s back in palette-form! I found that eight of the nine shades were as good or slightly improved, while one shade (Escape) seemed to have more shimmer and less of an intense, deeper base color (though performance-wise, it was still decent). This has always been one of my favorite bundles from Sydney Grace, so I’m so glad to see it back.

Formula Overview
$5.25/0.06 oz. - $87.50 Per Ounce
The matte eyeshadows tend to be pigmented (typically semi-opaque or opaque, often buildable if they aren't opaque) with a soft, more velvety texture that has slight slip but isn't so thick that it gets difficult to use, applies unevenly, or has a lot of fallout. I've found that most of the matte eyeshadows apply and blend out without much effort but a few may take a bit more effort to diffuse along the edges. The matte formula tends to wear between eight and eight and a half hours on me.

Formula Overview
$6.25/0.06 oz. - $104.17 Per Ounce
The shimmer eyeshadows are more consistent in pigmentation with the majority of shades having opaque color coverage. The more metallic/sparkly the shade is, the creamier and more emollient the eyeshadow felt in the pan, which often yielded really smooth application and good adherence to the lid, though a few worked better with a fingertip or a dampened brush for true-to-pan color or to get a truer finish/sheen.
Most shades, however, worked well with brushes, and I didn't have trouble applying or blending out most of the shimmer shades. The more satin to pearl like finishes tend to feel a little thinner but blend out well. These shades wore between eight and nine hours on me with some of the more foiled-like shades creasing noticeably at the end (and the less foiled-like ones fading).

Escape

This is a lovely palette – full of the kind of shades that I like. Of course I wish it were all shimmer and satins, but all the shades were of a consistently good quality. I particularly like the mix of greens, golds and browns chosen.
Love, love, and nothing but love for this 9-pan palette of earthy, forestry goodness! Makes me wish I would have waited just a few months more and gone for this instead of UD Naked Foxy. This is obviously better quality, especially the smoothness in the shimmery shades!
I never even knew this existed as a bundle. But it is absolutely my kinds of colors and I am definitely going to try to pick it up.
Wild Life and To Earth hello! What a beautiful, warm color story. Love the greens and shades of golden bronze. : )
Very nice color story. A bit too monochromatic. I don’t get along with Sidney Grace shimmers: they age me. So it’s a pass for me, but I will try to built a condensed quad or quint with dupes based on this palette.
I resisted this the first time through. I’m hiding my cards. IMO this is perfection.
Ooo it’s so pretty! No Sarah, back away from the “add to cart” button…
What a lovely and cohesive color story.
Ahhhh! I have the bundle but this is so pretty in palette form. Improved, you say? …I’m going to keep telling myself I don’t need it…as I add it to my cart…oh, boy. I don’t know how I’m going to resist!
WILDLIFE IS BACK!
Oh man I gotta talk myself down from getting a palette for just ONE shade.
Like the color scheme and would work for me for Fall. Really like To Earth the best, and also Wildlife and Back Woods have familiar, yet unique vibes.
When will this be for sale on the Sydney Grace website (or elsewhere)? Did I miss it and it’s all sold out?
