I’m rewatching your review of this palette since the new mini metropolis came out yesterday. I didn’t think I would be able to watch your videos since your passing, I thought it would make me sad but truly I just miss seeing you and your happy energy on UA-cam. I know this is the footprint you left on this earth, this being your tutorials and videos. They will teach so many people now and in the future and in a way you can continue to do what you love, to teach and to connect with makeup lovers everywhere❤️ You were and are such a treasure to everybody that knew you and you have touched so many lives, more than you know. Thank you so much for always being you and sharing your gifts with all of us❤️
This is the only ND palette I have ever purchased and will be the only one, especially after watching the swatches. I truly appreciate your hard work in keeping up with them all and all the tutorials included, thank you!
I just bought the palette since it is back. And I had to come back because I know how much mel loved it. I forgot how much I miss her 😭😭😭 In tears again. Love you, Mel and miss you
All the different sizes is actually really smart because different sizes different prices so people that can't afford $129 palette can maybe get the $65 one
I think the advantage to those shades with the new “CP” formula is you get crazy pigment but without the fallout! ABH for example has super pigmented mattes but they’re known for being powdery so I think this is a nice alternative to those who are bothered by fallout but still want a lot of impact from their shadow. I think this may be my first spendy ND purchase! 😬💸
Bumblebee her inspiration was Art Deco from the 20s and I think she made it awesome I’m new to getting her pallets and this one would be such a great mix of many of her pallets but the price is not bad for all the Sade’s since the blue/ purple is like 280$
I love your tutorials of eye shadows. Not enough people show a really up close showing of tutorials and I love that I can see everything you do. Your eye looks are always so intense and beautiful.
Mel, it would be SOOOOOOO helpful for me if you did a video on the best brushes to use with Natasha Denona eyeshadows. I find myself struggling. The colors are gorgeous and swatch beautifully. However, I cannot get all her shadows to work well, and or to last on my eyes. Also, for me they don’t always blend out well and can become a muddy mess. I would find this type of a tutorial brush video to be extremely helpful! You ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS create stunningly beautifully blended eyeshadow looks! And you have a wonderful brush collection. Plus you have amazing techniques. I know you are the one who would shed a great deal of light for me! I am SOOOOOO torn about this palette. Knowing it is limited ed. And these colors, oh the greens are so much my thing! But, if I am going to be struggling with another palette I cannot work on my eyes.... seems it clearly would not be money well spent. I LOVE the looks you created today!!!😍😍😍Wishing you a beautiful day as always! 🌞🦋💐💗
Aurelia, yes. I find that starting with an eyeshadow primer does indeed help keep eyeshadows on longer and work better. Thanks for the tip! Do you have a preference of eyeshadow primer? Currently, I am loving the MAC Paint Pot in soft Ochre. Have a great day!💗
Sonia G intended for her brushes to be used with Natasha Denona shadows. Kinkysweat has a wonderful video about the pro eye set and the more difficult to use shades in the Gold palette.
GretchenVaughn thank you! I will go check that one out! Kinkysweat does such informative videos! I really enjoy her content! She knows and shares very helpful pointers! Thanks for the information!🤗👍🏼💗
Ok I still think $130 is too expensive but that palette is the palette I've been waiting for. It looks really beautiful. My favourite colours are khaki and olive green so this feels like it'd be great for more grungy looks. They seemed so smooth and strong. I have the mini nude palette which I like and got the Lila palette when it was on sale plus had a gift card so I'm happy with it but some of the shadows are just ok and wouldn't have been worth full price. This one looks like it might be worth it but I just can't justify spending that much especially in Canadian dollars 🙁
Exactly! I'm new to her shadows and have the mini nude palette as well (only one I have) and $25 changes to $33 for us. The new formulation has me intrigued because I wasn't all that impressed with my mini nude. It's not necessarily the palette's fault, though, as I'm working with aging slightly crepey eyelids and I wonder if the creamier formulation would be better? But for $170.00, I'm afraid I'm going to have to keep wondering. Wish ND would put the new formula in some new minis.
I like the greens in the Boss Mood palette from Morphe, but they’re definitely more subtle and sheer. I actually really want this one because my complaint about the Boss Mood WAS the time they took to build.
Think of it this way: If you use this palette 130 times, each use will be a single dollar, and it’ll go down from there. So if this is something you would use a lot, it’s definitely worth it!
Wonderful video, Mel❣️ Your palette and swatch comparison photos are so, so helpful and awesome! I actually take screenshots and keep them in my Natasha Swatches album (geek 🤓!) Your swatches are the best around❣️❣️ Please thank your daughter for us! It’s so great to have these swatches, and she’s very appreciated 🥰❣️
Comparisons were helpful and glad that I don't have a number of the palettes because I saw LOTS of dupes, near dupes. So this one may very well be my holiday palette! ;). Let's see what else comes out before the holidays.
Same I like to think my shoping and budget for it, trting not to buy compulsively cause I often regret it ! I don't like this kind of marketing either.
@Wifetype BBgrl it is marketing. I actually studied marketing at business school and limited edition products are known to be a strategy to sell great numbers of units in a short amount of time, making it an excellent advertisement for the brand and great source of punctual income. The idea of owning something unique or in limited quatity triggers the consumer's ego and need of recognition. The purchase is more impulsive and doesn't leave much room for long term users to review the product after a few days or weeks of use, which often leads to regreted purchase, quality issues, etc. Perfect examples of what limited edition does is the Gemini palette from Melt, who appeared to be moldy in a few cases after a couple of months. The Gingerbread Spice palette on its first launch also sold out super fast and now when I look on Facebook marketplace, half a dozen people are selling it in my city because they regret their purchase and the palette is too bold or not enough. They bought it because of the hype So yeah. Marketing. So please respect people who try to moderate and think their purchase through, especially at such a high price tag ✌
WooooooooHooooooooooo I got mine yesterday! I have been happy with trying to come up with all these looks! The palette is a must have even if you're a first time! 28 extremely beautiful colors to pick
Mel just so you know I finally found my self I start working on something I enjoy (lash extensions) I was dealing with depression but you help me a lot ! Now I don’t have time for UA-cam so I just watch you , your friend and my Jaclynhill lol just 3 ; my point is that you had huge impact in finding who I am and what I want , finally I fill myself again super tire lol but worth it !
I remember when I first got my metropolis palette. I came here first and now I’m back getting inspiration. Wish you were still around Mel. Your reviews will always be the best!
I've been thinking about you all week. Your videos keep coming up on my recommendations. I truly miss seeing new uploads with your beautiful looks and beautiful soul. Sending all my love and prayers to Puffin and children. I hope they are doing well. I know you are watching over them and I hope they find peace. Love and miss you Mel ❤❤
Thank you so much for doing the size comparison to the sunrise palette I have been asking everyone about that and you're the first person to have just done the comparison right out of the gate! It's been a big deciding factor for me so I'm glad to finally know! You are always so thorough in your reviews though! Thanks for always being so amazing
Oh Mel...I confess this one I want...man you did beautiful looks with this and you can see you love it! That olive green awwwwwwwww some unique shades in here that make my mouth water! I know...weird but color makes my mouth water LOL What do you wanna bet it won't be there at Christmas! Love you! xoxo Mary
Aaaahhh....the warms are absolutely gorgeous!!! I love that you’re so informative in your videos/tutorials by always including brush info. etc. You talk us through everything and don’t have us guessing, while music plays throughout...I absolutely appreciate your no short-cut tutorials. Thank you for all the hard work, and multiple looks, Ms. Mel. You never disappoint🤩.
I got mine last night and swatched the three deep blue/green shades on my arm. I've slept, and washed my arm three times now, and you can still see a hint of them. These things don't budge! It's stunning.
I am playing catch up with your videos since April. I had went blind in my left eye following an injury and have had surgery to repair and restore some of my vision. I was just released to wear makeup again so I’m needing you, Kel, Michelle and Mandy to inspire me and help me spend some money. 🤑💸💸
As always, your looks are BOMB! I think I am going to splurge on this palette, just received the PMG palette, can't wait to play with that one as wel! I am just an eyeshadow addict!!
I got this one for a bit less than the retail price and I'm so excited. It's gonna be my first ND palette and spent ages deciding on which one I should get but considering I've loved all your recommendations I picked this one. Gosh I hope I'm gonna love it
Your excitement about this palette really came through :) I purchased it as well and feel like it looks even better in person. I can’t wait to recreate/take inspiration from your looks in this video. Thank you!! :)
You sold me! 11 creamy mattes out of the 28 plus some unique shades make this palette worth it! I love CM formula in Biba and it looks like ND improved it further. Whoop whoop! I’m so excited
Could you do a video ranking your favorite Natasha Denona palettes? I’m wanting to add some of her older ones to my collection as well but know many are hit and miss! This video was 🔥 🔥 🔥! Your eye looks are always so wearable but give the spice and colorful aspect I’m always looking for without major extreme cut creases!
It's interesting that she calls it a new formula but she has the CP shades in Biba and a couple in the Gold palette as well (and you mentioned the ones in the Cranberry). I appreciate your video and the looks you created are beautiful! I feel like I want to get it more now...
While I don't think I've ever watched one of your vids before I came here today because I heard you're the go-to in the beauty community for Natasha Denona Reviews! Thank you so much for being thorough.
This palette just came back in stocks on the ND website. I've been waiting to buy it for years...I couldn't pull the trigger. I watched your video and missed your reviews and voice. It reminded me that life is too short, buy the damn palette
I know you’ve had your buzz cut forever and I’ve been following you for a while now but I just wanted to tell you that it looks sooooo good on you, you are beautiful 💚💚💚
So I love your sweater. But also love the way you are so thorough and really explain the texture and performance of the shadows. Best reviews on UA-cam! Thank you!!!!!
Mel, I want to admit, you literally just made me buy it, I was going to skip this one as color theme didn’t look too appealing to me. I prefer more neutral tones, but after watching your video, man, it is pretty. And I can easily make some everyday looks with an occasional pop of color! Beautiful! And you are so talented, my friend 😘😘😘
Mesmerized by Orium, Rope, and all of the greens including Royal. If I hadn’t just picked up Besame Sleeping Beauty and both new Juvia’s palettes I would be sorely tempted
Just played with mine this morning... I absolutely LOVE the CP matte formula... I was on the fence about getting this, and so glad I did. Thanks for your review!
Omg the second look gave me beautiful avocado vibes😍 I love you, but I’m going to need some space because I just bought this palette and your videos do my bank account dirty😂😂😂😘❤️
Thoroughly informative review, tutorial and comparisons, as always. Seriously, your swatches are the best! Bet you didn’t know when you first held her that you’d created a perfect arm swatch model! With all the bizarre to me trends that come up, and you doing the two different eyes (for good reason) I thought, oh man, is she accidentally starting a new trend? Here comes the Odd Eye era! 🤣 Much love to you! ❤️
Mel, will you be reviewing the Viseart Dark Edit palette? I swear you were wearing a great look the other day that you said was from that palette, but I might be confusing things. It’s hard to keep up with all of these palettes!
I had convinced myself that I didn't need this one, but the looks you created with it are so gorgeous that I now must have it! Thank you for the great review, looks, and comparisons!
I'm so impressed that you show us more then one look, I'm so thankful for it. You make a great job. It motivated me to use more colourful shades, by myself. Thank you Mel😍🥰🥰🤩
Stopping by to say you are missed! Been wanting this palette SO BAD - ND brought it back for a limited time - trying to gather up the funds to get it. So nice to get to see your thoughts on it. I really miss you, Mel. ❤
I’ve just played with it and I have all her other palettes and I think it’s her best palette in terms of ease of use, color payoff, and the amazing looks I got with decent skill level. If you don’t have a ND palette, buy it on the VIB sale. It’s a good investment.
Love love love how you go in detail explaining and comparing pallets it’s so helpful! Also when you do a review you show many different eye looks or color schemes that compliment each other, it makes me more excited to buy the pallet cause I already know so many great looks to do! Love you💜💜💜
Wow - I don’t think I’ve ever seen a palette quite like that before! Some of those shades are so unique. Thanks for the review and for all the work you put in your videos!
I have no nd palette....this is for me....all the colors I love in one place...thanks Mel..wish you mentioned if there were mattes...shimmers...chrome....the textures and staying power are important
Hi Mel, I am so happy with the formula of these shadows and you can tell you really tested this palette out! Thanks for another awesome review. You look beautiful.
Living vicariously through you Mel❤️❤️ New Sub and as I battle an Incurable disease.....I’ve been bed bound and just bingeing your videos from the beginning. I can’t afford make up right now because of how expensive my meds are but being able to distract myself is fantastic so thank you very much for the awesome content and hoping to pick up some techniques for future self care ❤️❤️❤️
It was such a pleasure to watch you use this Natasha Denona palette with such ease the colours dance with one another so beautifully I can't wait to try😏 (lol)and duplicate these AMAZING looks! great video Mel 👌🏾
My gosh this look so amazing! Dangit Mel I always say no I don’t need it then I see it on you and I go nuts 🤣🤣 The colors are so beautiful and bright on you! Wow! I love that she’s been lowering her prices per palette and I hope she continues to do so. Thanks to you and your daughter for the beautiful amazing swatches! Seriously Mel you’re amazing! 💕💕💋💋
Hi Mel, I just to let you know that I found this so helpful as I wanted to buy myself my first Natasha Denona palette for Christmas and with the price I needed to know I was choosing the right one. I bought the metropolis palette as it just came out in Australia.
I have 7 ND palettes and honestly this Metropolis release didn’t capture my attention one bit....until I saw the swatches, eye looks and heard your comments....no hard pan is a bonus considering the formula, and I have the Cranberry holiday palette and am not a huge fan of any of the shades except that pinky purple one. I redeem my 2500 Sephora Rouge points for a $100 gift card and that’s how I have purchased BIBA and Gold, snagged Lila on sale at Sephora recently (not overjoyed with it) and Beautylish Lucky Bag gave me Camel so I will use my point redemption gift card for this one if it’s in stock- that way I only pay about $70 CND. (Yes, it’s $170 CND 😱) That cream powder formula is their the bottom row of the BIBA palette, isn’t it? Great review and swatches. The eye looks are pretty but I already know they won’t look the same on my eyes 👀 so I concentrate mainly on the pigmentation and blend ability when watching your eye looks. I also find that using good quality brushes such as Wayne Goss helps the cause too. You have an undeniable talent as an artist, that is obvious. Lucky you have such smooth eyelids and nice bone structure to apply shadows and gain some dimension from.
🌟Oh Im in LLOOVVEE with this palette, I did uploaded my review on my UA-cam Channel yesterday, and I cannot believe how much I’m in love 🥰 This palette is amazing! The new upgraded formula is the best I have tried in years! Natasha killed! 💖Thank you for the review Mel, love all the eye looks you created, you are gorgeous! 😘😘😘
Hi, Mel. I’m playing with my Metropolis palette today and I must say, I was worried about the hard pan issue too, as I also bought the first holiday Cranberry mini palette and returned it. I re-bought the revised Cranberry recently when I realized that ND made the two CP shades into mattes in the new permanent version. I must say that I am really impressed by the texture of the CP shadows. I think ND has nailed it. I was watching your video as I was doing my eyeshadow makeup this morning and I think it is the best video you have done. Great job! 👍🏻
I've been looking forward to this Mel!! I'm such a sucker for ND shadows and pretty much only trust your feedback. Thank you for doing another amazing review!! 💕
Mel, absolutely love this review! You always give us so much information about a palette and I really appreciate that! I am obsessed with this palette and will probably be picking it up ASAP! Thank u for all you do!
wow, I was not interested in this at all but you made it look so amazing in every look, especially the green. I don't have any of her big palettes so this is tempting. the richness of the deepa shades is so good!
Thank you for your hard work reviewing stuff for us Mel! I really like the look of this palette, I don't own any other ND shadows so I'm intrigued. I wonder how do these wear? Initial application is nice on most shadows, but their longevity differ radically on my eyelids. I wonder what's your experience in that area with this palette? Would it survive a 10+ hour workday?
Thanks for the review. Rhizome is pronounced RISE-OME. Like an iris rhizome, basically a root planted in the ground. The color looks very much like the flesh of a healthy rhizome, actually. (Although most rhizomes have a papery brown cover over their flesh)
Gorgeous looks! My favourite was the first more neutral look. I just love it! Thank you so much for the gorgeous looks and the swatches! So very helpful! You are the best Mel 💖
Thank you Mel, I am really thinking of buying this one to complement my Biba palette. Until this came out, I wanted the gold one but I think this one offers similar colours with more variety.
Using this palette today- 9/27/21- I came here for inspiration because you would always create the best eye looks ever. You will be missed Sweet Mel 🖤
I’m rewatching your review of this palette since the new mini metropolis came out yesterday. I didn’t think I would be able to watch your videos since your passing, I thought it would make me sad but truly I just miss seeing you and your happy energy on UA-cam. I know this is the footprint you left on this earth, this being your tutorials and videos.

This is the only ND palette I have ever purchased and will be the only one, especially after watching the swatches. I truly appreciate your hard work in keeping up with them all and all the tutorials included, thank you!
I just bought the palette since it is back. And I had to come back because I know how much mel loved it. I forgot how much I miss her 😭😭😭 In tears again. Love you, Mel and miss you
It's pretty but all of these different sizes Natasha is really messing with my storage/display
Right ! My palettes look ridiculous lol I need her to be more even .
Oh man, I love her new sizes! But my storage is basically shoving as much as possible into my dressers so... 🤷♀️
dzymzlzy B IKR!! 😂😂😂
All the different sizes is actually really smart because different sizes different prices so people that can't afford $129 palette can maybe get the $65 one
I think the advantage to those shades with the new “CP” formula is you get crazy pigment but without the fallout! ABH for example has super pigmented mattes but they’re known for being powdery so I think this is a nice alternative to those who are bothered by fallout but still want a lot of impact from their shadow. I think this may be my first spendy ND purchase! 😬💸
Metropolis looks like a all the eyeshadows that didn't made it in the rest of the palettes , but very beautiful
Bumblebee I didn’t think of it like it . I thought of it as more as a fall colors palette 🤔 now I’m gonna be reevaluating it like 🤔🤔🧐
Bumblebee her inspiration was Art Deco from the 20s and I think she made it awesome I’m new to getting her pallets and this one would be such a great mix of many of her pallets but the price is not bad for all the Sade’s since the blue/ purple is like 280$
I quite like it, makes me more think of autumn
I wish Natasha could collaborate with you!!! 💥💥💥
I, we, the world need Mel+ Natasha palette🎨 ☺️🙌💫💞
Cat Ru i wish too🥰
Omggggg yesssssssss ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Deborah Besser Oliner You're welcome!
I'm so impressed with the mattes in this so far too! I had never tried her CP formula before but these are SO easy and amazing to work with 😍
Love your channel!!
I love you both!!
Ok I still think $130 is too expensive but that palette is the palette I've been waiting for. It looks really beautiful. My favourite colours are khaki and olive green so this feels like it'd be great for more grungy looks. They seemed so smooth and strong. I have the mini nude palette which I like and got the Lila palette when it was on sale plus had a gift card so I'm happy with it but some of the shadows are just ok and wouldn't have been worth full price. This one looks like it might be worth it but I just can't justify spending that much especially in Canadian dollars 🙁
@darima2 take a look at her Mini Gold palette. More affordable and full of green & gold. 🥰
Exactly! I'm new to her shadows and have the mini nude palette as well (only one I have) and $25 changes to $33 for us. The new formulation has me intrigued because I wasn't all that impressed with my mini nude. It's not necessarily the palette's fault, though, as I'm working with aging slightly crepey eyelids and I wonder if the creamier formulation would be better? But for $170.00, I'm afraid I'm going to have to keep wondering. Wish ND would put the new formula in some new minis.
I like the greens in the Boss Mood palette from Morphe, but they’re definitely more subtle and sheer. I actually really want this one because my complaint about the Boss Mood WAS the time they took to build.
This will be around $200 in Australia....
Think of it this way: If you use this palette 130 times, each use will be a single dollar, and it’ll go down from there. So if this is something you would use a lot, it’s definitely worth it!
I swear I’m on palette overload!!
Same, I'm about to od on palletes!
Me too.
Same !!! I refuse to buy any more Six is too many for me.
I hope you also review the Mini Gold, i need that olive shade to be good :)
This palette has a lot of similar vibes, imo!
Naomi PR yeah similar but not the same. The mini has new shades so it would be nice to see mel review it for us
It's stunning, bought it a few days ago, I dont regret it!
Wonderful video, Mel❣️ Your palette and swatch comparison photos are so, so helpful and awesome! I actually take screenshots and keep them in my Natasha Swatches album (geek 🤓!)

The “you better get it before it’s gone forever” is the exact reason I’m not getting it. I really hate that kind of marketing.
Agreed, except I got it. It’s my birth month and I have no restraint.

As always, your looks are BOMB! I think I am going to splurge on this palette, just received the PMG palette, can't wait to play with that one as wel! I am just an eyeshadow addict!!
This is my first full sized Natasha Denona palette. I love it! Thank you for doing a few looks!
I got this one for a bit less than the retail price and I'm so excited. It's gonna be my first ND palette and spent ages deciding on which one I should get but considering I've loved all your recommendations I picked this one. Gosh I hope I'm gonna love it
I LOVE anything green, but the brown eye look?! Beautiful!!!
I love the pallette, it's some kind of odd/random but very interesting.
Enjoy it Mel ❤️
Your excitement about this palette really came through :) I purchased it as well and feel like it looks even better in person. I can’t wait to recreate/take inspiration from your looks in this video. Thank you!! :)

Ashley Crutchfield I feel she’s changed her formula a few times
While I don't think I've ever watched one of your vids before I came here today because I heard you're the go-to in the beauty community for Natasha Denona Reviews! Thank you so much for being thorough.
Luv the colour array in this palette. You have created some nice looks.
I’m sold. I am definitely getting this palette. The color story is beautiful and the eye look you created is stunning. Thank you Mel.
This palette just came back in stocks on the ND website. I've been waiting to buy it for years...I couldn't pull the trigger. I watched your video and missed your reviews and voice. It reminded me that life is too short, buy the damn palette
I know you’ve had your buzz cut forever and I’ve been following you for a while now but I just wanted to tell you that it looks sooooo good on you, you are beautiful 💚💚💚
Re-watching for inspiration for tomorrow. Dragging this bad boy out💜
So I love your sweater. But also love the way you are so thorough and really explain the texture and performance of the shadows. Best reviews on UA-cam! Thank you!!!!!
Mel, I want to admit, you literally just made me buy it, I was going to skip this one as color theme didn’t look too appealing to me. I prefer more neutral tones, but after watching your video, man, it is pretty. And I can easily make some everyday looks with an occasional pop of color! Beautiful! And you are so talented, my friend 😘😘😘
Mesmerized by Orium, Rope, and all of the greens including Royal.
If I hadn’t just picked up Besame Sleeping Beauty and both new Juvia’s palettes I would be sorely tempted
These mattes are crazy!, in a good way. And might I add your fall wardrobe is giving me all the fall feels.
Great Review Thanks so much for all your comparisons I will deff be picking this one up.
Just played with mine this morning... I absolutely LOVE the CP matte formula... I was on the fence about getting this, and so glad I did. Thanks for your review!
Mel🔥 you are so talented 🖤🖤 I loved all 3 looks but the 2nd look was absolute magic 🦄🌟
Omg the second look gave me beautiful avocado vibes😍 I love you, but I’m going to need some space because I just bought this palette and your videos do my bank account dirty😂😂😂😘❤️
I love every single look you did! I reeeeally don’t need another palette but this is sure tempting me 🤔
Thoroughly informative review, tutorial and comparisons, as always. Seriously, your swatches are the best! Bet you didn’t know when you first held her that you’d created a perfect arm swatch model!
With all the bizarre to me trends that come up, and you doing the two different eyes (for good reason) I thought, oh man, is she accidentally starting a new trend? Here comes the Odd Eye era! 🤣 Much love to you! ❤️
Mel can definitely pull it off.. She's absolutely stunning and her personality is so genuine!
I was thinking the same thing. She does do the best swatches!
Mel, will you be reviewing the Viseart Dark Edit palette? I swear you were wearing a great look the other day that you said was from that palette, but I might be confusing things. It’s hard to keep up with all of these palettes!
Elysium Yes, please review! This one looks amazing too!
Love your extremely thorough review!!!
Thank you so much for creating such a detailed video and including so many looks. I’m considering this palette and this helps me so much!
Okay, you’ve finally convinced me that this is the ND palette I’m going to get. Miss you so much!!!
I had convinced myself that I didn't need this one, but the looks you created with it are so gorgeous that I now must have it! Thank you for the great review, looks, and comparisons!
Omg I miss Mel!! I’m thinking of buying this eyeshadow palette so I knew Mel reviewed it. 💖
I'm so impressed that you show us more then one look, I'm so thankful for it. You make a great job. It motivated me to use more colourful shades, by myself. Thank you Mel😍🥰🥰🤩
You give the best detailed reviews, you addressed all my concerns. I'm definitely picking this beauty up!
Wow this palette looks so good and versatile!! Thanks for the review Mel!
Stopping by to say you are missed! Been wanting this palette SO BAD - ND brought it back for a limited time - trying to gather up the funds to get it. So nice to get to see your thoughts on it. I really miss you, Mel. ❤
Petit passage depuis la France. Te revoir avec cette fabuleuse palette me fait tellement plaisir. Tu manques beaucoup au monde du make up 🖤
I’ve just played with it and I have all her other palettes and I think it’s her best palette in terms of ease of use, color payoff, and the amazing looks I got with decent skill level. If you don’t have a ND palette, buy it on the VIB sale. It’s a good investment.
You are so talented! Your laugh is contagious
Love love love how you go in detail explaining and comparing pallets it’s so helpful! Also when you do a review you show many different eye looks or color schemes that compliment each other, it makes me more excited to buy the pallet cause I already know so many great looks to do! Love you💜💜💜
Just picked it up today! My first Natasha Denona palette ever! You got me so excited and inspired to create looks
Wow - I don’t think I’ve ever seen a palette quite like that before! Some of those shades are so unique. Thanks for the review and for all the work you put in your videos!
I have no nd palette....this is for me....all the colors I love in one place...thanks Mel..wish you mentioned if there were mattes...shimmers...chrome....the textures and staying power are important
Hi Mel, I am so happy with the formula of these shadows and you can tell you really tested this palette out! Thanks for another awesome review. You look beautiful.
So happy you are serving us 3 looks😍😗😘😗
Oh Mel, why are you doing this to me?? I see the palette I dont want it and then I watch your video and now I need it. THOSE LOOKS ARE EVERYTHING!
Such a great video Mel! I love that you did so many comparisons! THANK YOU!
Thanks Mel for uploading this. You always go in such detail it's always so helpful. I hope you and your family have a good weekend ♥️♥️♥️
Living vicariously through you Mel❤️❤️ New Sub and as I battle an Incurable disease.....I’ve been bed bound and just bingeing your videos from the beginning. I can’t afford make up right now because of how expensive my meds are but being able to distract myself is fantastic so thank you very much for the awesome content and hoping to pick up some techniques for future self care ❤️❤️❤️
You look stunning! Love everything from your sweater to your tattoos to your hair to your makeup!
Gorgeous looks !! The blue look you created was my favorite. That metallic blue and the super dark blue are just beautiful !
It was such a pleasure to watch you use this Natasha Denona palette with such ease the colours dance with one another so beautifully I can't wait to try😏 (lol)and duplicate these AMAZING looks! great video Mel 👌🏾
My gosh this look so amazing! Dangit Mel I always say no I don’t need it then I see it on you and I go nuts 🤣🤣 The colors are so beautiful and bright on you! Wow! I love that she’s been lowering her prices per palette and I hope she continues to do so. Thanks to you and your daughter for the beautiful amazing swatches! Seriously Mel you’re amazing! 💕💕💋💋
Hi Mel, I just to let you know that I found this so helpful as I wanted to buy myself my first Natasha Denona palette for Christmas and with the price I needed to know I was choosing the right one. I bought the metropolis palette as it just came out in Australia.
I have 7 ND palettes and honestly this Metropolis release didn’t capture my attention one bit....until I saw the swatches, eye looks and heard your comments....no hard pan is a bonus considering the formula, and I have the Cranberry holiday palette and am not a huge fan of any of the shades except that pinky purple one. I redeem my 2500 Sephora Rouge points for a $100 gift card and that’s how I have purchased BIBA and Gold, snagged Lila on sale at Sephora recently (not overjoyed with it) and Beautylish Lucky Bag gave me Camel so I will use my point redemption gift card for this one if it’s in stock- that way I only pay about $70 CND. (Yes, it’s $170 CND 😱)
That cream powder formula is their the bottom row of the BIBA palette, isn’t it?
Great review and swatches. The eye looks are pretty but I already know they won’t look the same on my eyes 👀 so I concentrate mainly on the pigmentation and blend ability when watching your eye looks. I also find that using good quality brushes such as Wayne Goss helps the cause too. You have an undeniable talent as an artist, that is obvious. Lucky you have such smooth eyelids and nice bone structure to apply shadows and gain some dimension from.
Your eyes are too gorgeous, they make me want every palette you use haha
🌟Oh Im in LLOOVVEE with this palette, I did uploaded my review on my UA-cam Channel yesterday, and I cannot believe how much I’m in love 🥰 This palette is amazing! The new upgraded formula is the best I have tried in years! Natasha killed! 💖Thank you for the review Mel, love all the eye looks you created, you are gorgeous! 😘😘😘
Hi, Mel. I’m playing with my Metropolis palette today and I must say, I was worried about the hard pan issue too, as I also bought the first holiday Cranberry mini palette and returned it. I re-bought the revised Cranberry recently when I realized that ND made the two CP shades into mattes in the new permanent version. I must say that I am really impressed by the texture of the CP shadows. I think ND has nailed it. I was watching your video as I was doing my eyeshadow makeup this morning and I think it is the best video you have done. Great job! 👍🏻
I've been looking forward to this Mel!! I'm such a sucker for ND shadows and pretty much only trust your feedback. Thank you for doing another amazing review!! 💕
You are so beautiful! I'm glad this Chanel is going up so fast, you deserve it!! Congrats 🥰
Mel, absolutely love this review! You always give us so much information about a palette and I really appreciate that! I am obsessed with this palette and will probably be picking it up ASAP! Thank u for all you do!
wow, I was not interested in this at all but you made it look so amazing in every look, especially the green. I don't have any of her big palettes so this is tempting. the richness of the deepa shades is so good!
Thank you for your hard work reviewing stuff for us Mel! I really like the look of this palette, I don't own any other ND shadows so I'm intrigued. I wonder how do these wear? Initial application is nice on most shadows, but their longevity differ radically on my eyelids. I wonder what's your experience in that area with this palette? Would it survive a 10+ hour workday?
Ooooohhh!!! I’ve been waiting for this. I love you Mel. You are such a great Teacher!!! Have a great weekend. Xoxoxo ♥️♥️🙏🦋
I love all your looks can’t wait to try them. I can’t wait to get my hands on this Gem!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the review. Rhizome is pronounced RISE-OME. Like an iris rhizome, basically a root planted in the ground. The color looks very much like the flesh of a healthy rhizome, actually. (Although most rhizomes have a papery brown cover over their flesh)
So excited about this palette. Love the colors. Of course I love the looks you created. Thanks for sharing.
I finally got this palette from sale, yes and looking your looks for inspiration after year lol
Mee too ✌🏻😁
Gorgeous looks! My favourite was the first more neutral look. I just love it! Thank you so much for the gorgeous looks and the swatches! So very helpful! You are the best Mel 💖
Thanks for te multiple looks, BEAUTIFUL just because of the work and dedication you did for this pallet, You have a new sub. Thank you
Mel, what’s happened to the insert of the palette color in the corner of your videos? 😢 I love that editing feature🙏🏼
Thank you Mel, I am really thinking of buying this one to complement my Biba palette. Until this came out, I wanted the gold one but I think this one offers similar colours with more variety.
Damn it Mel! I just finally bought the new Norvina now your making me want this one too! You kick the eyeshadow games ass!
