Mail Call: TheBalm Nude'Tude palette

MAIL CALL: THEBALM NUDE'TUDE PALETTE

Today on The Lovely Nerds I am bringing you a review of what awaited me in my mailbox, TheBalm Nude'Tude palette.




My initial response to this palette is that it is a lovely selection of colors and the packaging design is nice. It's not too big but it's not itty-bitty. The shadows are a bit on the small size themselves.

 The packaging itself, however, does leave a bit to be desired. The pans are not glued in properly. Some of them are sticking out of their wells on one side. It is sturdy, however, for a cardboard palette. It made it across the country through the mail still in-tact.



The eyeshadows are nicely pigmented and soft. 

Sassy: Sassy is a shimmery pearl white. 
Stubborn: in a pinkish-salmon shade. 
Snobby: is a light golden color, leaning heavy on the yellow side. 
Stand-offish: is a very shimmery light pink.



Selfish: is a nice light taupe. 
Sophisticated: is a shimmery medium brown. 
Sultry: is a matte, light warm brown. 
Schitzo: is a light, shimmery warm brown.


Sexy: is a matte cranberry shade. 
Serious: is a matte black, a little lacking in pigmentation but still a good black. 
Silly: is a shimmery cranberry-brown. 
Sleek: is a matte charcoal color.

THE GOOD:
« Pigmentation
« Color Variety
THE BAD:
« The brush
« The packaging
ITS JUST ALRIGHT:
« The price
OVERALL:
This palette is very nice. The large mirror is useful and the shades are lovely. It's a very warm toned palette. The brush is next to useless, but they generally always are. The naughty version of this palette(the one I have) just adds a bit of flair to the palette with the naked ladies.

I would recommend this palette!

RATING:
Overall: 4.5/5
Price: $$
Use: 4/5
Repurchase? Quite possibly
Thanks for reading :)
