Natasha Denona Circo Loco palette dupes and redesign

It is no secret that I love myself a good Natasha Denona eyeshadow palette, especially a colorful one. However, this latest Circo Loco palette was a big disappointment and I decided to stay well clear away from it. So here's me doing what I love most: diving into my single eyeshadow collection and finding Natasha Denona Circo Loco palette dupes.

If you're up to hear me blab about it, check out the Youtube video below.

There are two main reasons that I was not excited about the Natasha Denona Circo Loco palette. First, the format. The brand launched this crazy colored palette in its largest format, for $129. This is a big amount, for a color story that is pretty daring. Now if it would have been a midi-sized palette for $65, I might have actually given it a go.

But there were two reasons I said. The second is the color story itself, a bit too schizofrenic for me and just not inspiring much. So it was a no brainer to try to dupe the vibes and find dupes for this palette among my single eyeshadows, but also to go and re-design it to fit my taste more.
I was inspired by the circus (obviously) and ended up with a bright rainbow palette.


Which palette do you prefer? Did you buy the Natasha Denona Circo Loco palette?

Nabla Skin Glazing and Skin Bronzing swatches

 Since their first release last year, the Nabla Cosmetics Skin Glazing formula has been my favorite highlighter and luminous blush formula in my collection. When they released the two new Skin Glazing blushes together with the new Skin Bronzing range in Summer 2020, I couldn’t resist. Check out the video of me trying them out back when they released. The original Nabla Skin Glazing formula is a thin, finely milled luminous powder that feels very firm and hard pressed in the pan. These are not powders with immediate high pigmentation, but rather ultra thin washes of color and light that melt in the skin, giving a lit from within glow. This still holds for the new Skin Bronzing powders. The new shades of Skin Glazing blushes instead are less luminous than the original Truth and Adults Only, and they are more pigmented. I still like the formula very much, but I am not a fan of of the fact that both new shades are pinks. Nabla Skin Glazing Lola The new Nabla Skin Glazing Lola is a pinky co

The Color Analysis Wars Part 1: introduction and ambivalent reds

Welcome to the first of The Color Analysis Wars! In this series in collaboration with Fran from Being Cute is not a Crime , we will explore some principles of Colour Analysis by comparing lipsticks on ourselves. If your are new to the concept of Seasonal Color Analysis, I will add here a piece written by Rachel at Truth is Beauty : Start by understanding that every part of your natural coloring is in harmony with every other part. Your eyes, skin and true hair color all complement each other perfectly, exactly as they are. To look your most beautiful, you don't need to color your hair. You don't need to wear expensive makeup or expensive clothes.   You only need to identify the palette of colors that harmonizes perfectly with the colors that are already in you. The natural palette of your body harmonizes with one of 12 palettes that differ in warmth ,  chroma (brightness),  and value (lightness). We call these different palettes seasons.
