Sydney Grace Where the Wild Things Grow (Deep) Palette Review & Swatches
Where the Wild Things Grow (Deep)
Sydney Grace Where the Wild Things Grow (Deep) 9-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($36.00 for 0.54 oz.) is a new, 9-palette that just launched this past month. All of the eyeshadows were pigmented, blendable, and easy to use. They performed consistently with Sydney Grace’s eyeshadow formula. This is the Deep version, where three versions are exclusive to this palette (Queen’s Anne Lace, Dandelion, and Poppy). The differences between the Light and Deep versions of the respective shades is quite significant.

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).

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.

Beautiful shades and a stunning palette – I love both iterations of Queen Anne’s Lace (what a lovely name for a beautiful colour), Primrose and Sunflower. By having On the Horizons Light, I do have very similar shades of Heart Dog, Earthbound and Flying High – combinations of which I use quite often – especially in summer.
Genevieve, does Queen Anne’s Lace grow in Australia? Here it’s considered a weed (not sure if it falls into the “noxious weed category” though) and is pretty common, and I have it popping up in my lawn (in past years, it’s grown in my garden beds too!). As weeds go, it’s a pretty one.
For this specific palette, I actually (and oddly) prefer the Light version. But, right about now, I’ve begun to feel somewhat overwhelmed by the load of e/s palettes I own.
Queen Anne’s Lace in this palette is even lovelier than the one in the “Light” version…honestly, if shipping charges weren’t such a big issue. if I could just grab these “in-store”, I’d probably break down and buy BOTH versions!!! In both of these palettes, Sunflower seems to be a very fragile shadow, I guess because it’s a pressed pigment.
This looks like a pared-down Autumn’s Reign.
