Best Drugstore Palettes!
If you've been thinking about purchasing either of these palettes (or both!) GO FOR IT! These palettes are so so so good! But before I start confessing my love for these palettes let's get into the basics! haha :-)L'Oreal released two fully loaded palettes within a new line called "La Palette Nude". They will set you back a little more than $15 depending on where you purchase them. The price may seem high for being drugstore but... they are worth it! Make sure to take advantage of BOGO sales and coupons to get that price down. Let's start off with La Palette Nude 1!
This is one is full of neutral, warmer shades! Off the bat I noticed a few dupes for the Urban Decay Naked Palette which is awesome! The finishes are mostly matte or satin, no true metallic shades which is different. When compared to other L'Oreal shadows like the ones in their quads, there's a HUGE difference! It's pretty much night and day. These shadows are so smooth and the pigmentation is really nice! Here are the swatches:
Can you believe that color payoff?! This palette is a must have for any neutral lover! :-) Now let's take a look at La Palette Nude 2.
This palette is definitely on the cooler side. The purple shades were calling my name so I had to have it! I mean... purples suite brown eyes right? ;-) The pigmentation was just as good as the first one. But there's something so refreshing about these colors! They're neutral but not your ordinary neutral which I love. The matte shades remind me of a few in the new Tartelette Palette so this would make a great affordable alternative! Here are the swatches:
Those colors towards the end are so stunning! The matte shades are the ones that stand out in this palette. They're so silky, pretty comparable to high end!
I combined a few colors from both palettes last week to come up with this look. I've been obsessed with using the palettes together!
Bottom line: Whether it's $15 for one or $30 for both I would recommend them to anyone! L'Oreal and Urban Decay belong to the same company so just imagine getting similar quality at a drugstore price! Even if you get both it's a better value than getting a higher end palette. Where else can you find 20 shadows for $30. I'm very passionate about these because they're really good, plain and simple! :-)
