Even when the quality of the shadows aren’t up to par, you make every look appear effortless and the end result is always gorgeous on your beautiful face. I so appreciate your thoughts and your artistry. I might pick up the lilac and the rose palettes. There’s just something about that yellow that speaks to me and I think combining the lilac palette with the purple palette from Julia’s Place might create a pretty look. 💕
Yes!!! I wanted these until I saw Dupethat’s swatches and C Pop comparisons and I wasn’t as impressed. I was waiting for your review. It’s funny how these mini palettes she releases are so hit and miss.
Allison Maguilcutty- I heve all 3 of these palette's & I trulie enjoy them....As far as pastels go, they were very easy to work with. I could not be happier with them, if ur into lovelie ethereal eye-looks, these palettes will not disappoint. I hope this helps; Bisous🌸💗🌸
These Huda Obsessions palettes are so inconsistent. They’ve never worked for me, especially the neons. Too bad she won’t sell the Metallics as singles. So glad to see your review! Please show us the new LH!
I much prefer your previous style of review/demo. By time you get to the looks I kinda forget what issues were mentioned with each palette. Appreciate the video nonetheless.
I agree. I really see the portion of videos where you create looks as a tutorial-and I enjoy your tutorials more than anyone’s. I really appreciate the information that you give while creating. I’ve learned so much from you and I miss not hearing the hows and whys of what’s going on. I’ll always watch your videos regardless! You rock!
Yes i agree I had to go back to hear the thoughts again pls go back to old version , im gonna give these palettes a chance i hope they will be better with a white base and at least show up on my tan skin,
Thanks for the honest review! I'm getting the Lilac for sure. I want the Mint to but I will have to consider...I must say though that despite the issues you mentioned that the Mint look came out stunning on you!
Hello Mel! Your earlier video post really touched me regarding Wayne. I went to his channel and he had already taken down his post. I still was so impacted by your words and how much his situation concerned. In his most current post, he took down the Kickstarter others put together to help him. He is far too much of a gentleman to take the money. So, I figured I’d still like to do something. I went to Beautylish and picked up some of his brushes. I figured somehow, possibly that little bit hopefully will still help! You have a good heart Mel! 💗 Thank you for sharing Wayne’s situation with those of us who may not have been brought aware. Hopefully, every little bit might help him, so he ends up in a better situation for the future of his endeavors! As always, I LOVE the looks your created! You are a talented lady and a sweet soul! 🤗💗🙏🏻💐💫
I have learned the contouring from Scott Barnes, the complexion from Hindash, the spot concealing and the no makeup makeup from Lisa Eldridge, the correcting and concealing techniques from Wayne Goss, and the eyeshadow blending game from YOU. You are absolutely the queen of eyeshadow art. I can’t wait the day when you will be releasing an eyeshadow palette.
I am still loving the rose pastel palette. It brings such bright colors to life. Also, I'm a sucker for rose colors. I'm glad you included when you wet the brush. It helps! Thank you.
Even though these pallets weren’t that great of a formula you still manage to create gorgeous looks out of them!! The shimmers were definitely the stand out and are beautiful!!! 💜
You're always that artist who can make a bad palette amazing🙌❤ I end up looking like my 5 year old child started applying makeup on my eye😘 Those were the good ole days..😁💋
Thank you, Mel! I've been most excited to see your review of these palettes. I'm considering the mint one the most, just because I have no mint colored eyeshadows in my collection, but that lilac one looks beautiful!💜💜💜
I agree, why start using plastic? There's a plastic dump the size of a lg island floating around our oceans that gets bigger $ bigger everyday..smh. I'm passing on these, I looked into all of these colors in my own collection already and most are in my Jefree Star,s Jawbreaker, his formulae is damn near perfect very pigmented, there are also pastel in ND Tropic palette, in ABH' Norvina and Cari Bybels palette. If you have these colors in your collection, don't buy Huda's lack of creativity, hell even Mercury retrograde palette is mostly pastels! Hi Mel! Thank you. I'm so glad I didn't buy theses.
Colourpop's pastel shades are very good. I have several of the solid color palettes and if you combine them with one of their neutral palettes, such as the Bare Essentials, you get a great comparable look.
So pretty and perfect for Easter.🐣🐣🥚🥚🌷🌷 I wanted to say that I appreciated very much your video yesterday about Wayne. What a Class Act both you and he are.
I need as much conviction to life as Mel has to blending eyeshadow. I can walk away, grab a coke, use the bathroom , come back and she is still blending the same color.
Hey gorgeous Mel! Girl thank the good Lord up above for you!! I REALLY REALLY wanted all 3 of these Pallettes! Huda should be ashamed of herself for trying the pass these off as quality! I was like 🤔🧐🕵🏽♀️👀👓🌬️🎨🔍🔦🔬🔭❓ WHERE THE HELL IS THE PIGMENT???? I get that it's pastel but that doesn't mean imaginary?!? You did your thing though Mel and made some Beautiful looks out of some questionable shades!! Thank God I watched this first! I'll stick to Colourpop where I can get pigment and blendablity for half the price 😬🤷🏽♀️. Thanks for being you and also for shedding light on Wayne Goss' dilemma! I donated to the Go fund me page yesterday and I hope it helps! God bless you and him and your beautiful family!! Blessings and LOVE
Well darn! I was most interested in the Pastel Rose, but I'm not totally impressed with how the shades performed. I already have CP Lilac You Alot, and I pretty much never wear greens, so I guess this collection is a pass for me. Thanks for the in depth review of the collection! ❤
Wow... that violet color on you tho... Your eye looks were always amazing but this one, is just, totally, stunning!!! I couldn't help myself staring at your eyelids and wowing throughout the whole video. lol. My brain knows that this color becomes you only because it's you, Mel, and it wouldn't translate the same on my Asian warm skin with yellow undertone, but I just can't resist it now. Definitely gonna pick up the lilac one next April sephora sale. You made me do it :'D BTW always enjoy your amazing videos. xxx
Mel the pink and yellow look is everything. I'm thinking about recreating it with my palette collection. The lemoncello shade in Natasha Denona Tropic palette will work beautifuly.
Could you do a video on affordable brushes that you recommend for someone getting started with makeup artistry? I’ve been binge watching your videos and I fully trust in anything you recommend 😝💕
I am absolutely obsessed with the look with the pink palette!! Now I’m going to have to hunt through my collection to try to recreate it!! Really like the mint look too
Hi Mel I'm enjoying your video today on hooda pastel palettesout of all the pallets I really enjoyed the purple look it really looks stunning on youand thanks for taking the time to show us these wonderful pallet I hope you have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you in the next video
Thanks Mel, I got the mint palette when it came out because I was super excited to try a Huda palette. I had previously considered the colourpop one but I liked the idea of a palette with nude mattes and shimmers in the palette as well. It’s been so hard to work with, and the shimmers have a lot of fallout!!!! Really glad you make this video so I can see someone create a look with this stubborn palette.
I knew which palette the pink and yellow look was without even needing to look at the description box! These are cute, but probably something I’ll pass on. Your looks sure give me inspiration to create looks with current palettes!
I absolutely agree about the packaging and I think the Nudes palettes were packaged beautifully. I did love every single look you created, as always 💋🥰😘👑
Some of these neutral/rosy mattes look very similar to colours in the Retrograde palette and in the lightest of the Nude Obsessions palette. Gorgeous looks btw, the yellow and minty one, just wow! I won't be getting them though, too much in the exchange rate and for shipping, I can also use the Retrograde mattes in the centre row too.
I’m so bummed I really wanted the palettes to be better. But even with them not being highly pigmented & dusty you still created amazing looks!! But for a regular person like myself they probably would not show up as dark. I’m so disappointed. I may still get the lilac but not sure. Thank you so much for the review & swatches! 😊❤️
I’m in the minority on preferring her big palettes. The only minis I truly love and kept are the medium and deep nude palettes she released last year. These color schemes don’t draw me in the way they did 3 or 4 years ago.
I’d love to see these swatched up against the Mercury Retrograde palette! I’ve been wanting that palette for so long and then these came out and I wondered if there were any similarities in any of the shades. Are they different enough in your opinion? And is the Mercury Retrograde a better palette overall?
I have the retrograde and all the mattes are pigmented and of excellent quality, the shimmers are more of a mixed bag but I still really do like them but also interested in a comparison
Alex Jones I was wondering the same thing. Mercury Retrograde is one of my top 3 palettes but I think these have a different formula (jelly something) that the mercury does not. I would like to see a comparison. I was considering the Rose Pastels palette until I saw this review.
Hi Mel , I have the Kevin Aucoin magnify palette which has the whole range of shades from deep purple to a lilac then a topper it’s just gorgeous, I don’t think anything will could be more beautiful, I just love it you can have a day eye to a sultry gorgeous evening smoky look , I had never tried his brand before but since I have bought 2 other shades how very beautiful,
I feel like if you have the new Nudes palette and the Mercury Retrograde palette, there’s probably no need for the Rose or Lilac palettes here. Those two palettes pull very pink and purple (to me at least). I love the looks you did as usual. I’m actually kinda feeling that really light pink in the Rose palette.
I’ve been look at these and I’m so happy I waited. Thank you. I’m picking up the purple. But between her Nude and mini nude light Which I love I’m skipping the others. I was so looking forward to the mint but I’m not sure I want to work that hard. I was dying when you said I looked in the mirror had to was my face a third time.
I was thinking about getting the lilac one and you're the first person i've seen review it! You definitely sold me on it i'm obsessed the look you did with it so gorgeous 😍💜
Thank you Mel! I’ll be skipping these. They wouldn’t work on my skin tone probably for the looks I like! I loved seeing your application though!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Ummm yea that whole leaving glitter thing? That's why I gave away that Tati palette EXCEPT it was a week later!! I won't be getting any of these but I still love watching your eyeballs LOL Love you! xoxo
A tip for the micro glitters, use tape to take a majority of the glittery eye shadow off your eyelid, and then wash it off. then you won't have sparkle everywhere xD this tip pretty much works for all glitters too.
Mel when you review eyeshadow palettes (rhis tyoe of video) do you think perhaps you can make playlist for each brand? 🥰 thanks for the review!! Huda just launched in Sephora Mexico!! I am gonna try the cream contour/bronzer I see a lot of people loving it.
Hi Mel! Aww dang it, I was hoping these would be better performers. I’d really like to find a nice pastel palette. Any suggestions?? The looks you did you absolutely beautiful! Thanks for the review! 💕
This is the first UA-cam video I have watched from you. First off you my dear are absolutely gorgeous!!!!!! I really enjoyed how you did close ups of the different pallets. I just ordered the pink and violet pallets as I’m just in love with that look. Can I ask what mascara you use?
Girl, you are a miracle worker!!! The rose and mint palettes look hopeless. The lilac, only a step up from the others. One should never have to try that hard to make shadows work 😖 I want to be annoyed that Huda did not makes these for all skin tones, but I think it might be a blessing it was not 🤣🤣🤣
Only 2.5 minutes in so it may be covered but I cant help but wonder if I need these if I have the mercury palette... traveling so I'll have to look when I get home. Love ya Mel!
I need the Rose one after watching this. I feel like the colors of the packaging resemble some of Colourpop’s monochromatic palettes, but the shades are different. Yes, she could have done something different, but at the same time, pastel’s are big right now. I’m disappointed by the mint one though! The blue shades are throwing me off. But I def loved your look for the Rose! It reminded me of strawberry lemonade for some reason! ❤️
Hi Mel, Love you and your channel. I believe you are genuinely one of the nicest people. I love to be friends in person. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews and tutorials. I have a quick question, please. While applying shimmer in the lower inner tear duct area, do you wet your brush with a setting spray? Thanks so much.
Ooh so if you had to choose between the lilac one here, and the Amethyst palette she released, which would you recommend more? Is it even a choice? Lol I remember that one being in your faves and you raving about it 😁 Man, even when the products disappoint, I am still amazed by the gorgeous looks you come out with!! ♥️ That is *talent* and *skill*, and a lovely canvas to start with 🤩
Thanks Mel. What a shame that the mint one was so hard to build up/etc. because that look is stunning on you! I really want the Lilac one although I have the Huda Nudes Light and wonder if they are very similar hmmmm. One cannot get enough purple in my world though!
The price point would be way better at $18 maybe $20 but ya..with her amazing mini nudes complimenting her large New Nudes and the packaging its a decent price point, but these maybe 20 !! Hope your surgery is going well and wish for a speedy recovery...I had mine out several years ago, which my recovery wasnt fast as they had to double blow me up to find my gull bladder *( I cant believe it was air that caused all the pain...sure your recovery will be smooth SMOOCHES MEL
I just love your looks, you are so talented. What lilac palette and what aqua blue mint palette's do you think are the best? if possible please let me know. I have blue eyes and the lilac and blues look good on me. Thank you
Oooo and pretty please tell me where to get the beautiful white book selection behind you??? I love it so much....the aqua palette was sooo difficult to work with but OMG How amazing does it look on your eyes and complexion 5*......
I like the overall look of the palettes, especially with the shimmer animal print shades! I am so drawn to those! But, I know that I wouldn't actually use these palettes, they're just pretty to look at.
Hey Mel That lilac palette is really pretty. That is the only one I really liked. But I wasn't thinking about buying any of them, cause I spent alot of money on the Blood Lusts palette by JSC. I trying not to spend any money for a bit. But let's see how that works for me. All the eye looks you did are very pretty.
U made it work girl. I really am looking for a purple pallet and going to try to recreate the 2nd look shopping my collection. Can you or others recommend a good purple pallet?
Even when the quality of the shadows aren’t up to par, you make every look appear effortless and the end result is always gorgeous on your beautiful face. I so appreciate your thoughts and your artistry. I might pick up the lilac and the rose palettes. There’s just something about that yellow that speaks to me and I think combining the lilac palette with the purple palette from Julia’s Place might create a pretty look. 💕

I love the that you give honest reviews! I loved the pink and yellow look! However, I think I’ll try to duplicate the look using my current palettes.
Perfect timing! I was debating picking these up but wanted to see reviews first. I knew you'd be one of the first to review them.
You look absolutely stunning! I will definitely get the Lilac one now! I ordered Colourpop‘s lilac palette last night...spring here I come 💜
Your review put me off the pink as well as swatches I’ve seen but WOW that pink look was stunning and my favourite 😊
Thanks for your sincerity. I suppose the will be at Sephora sale in two months.
Thank you for the review, thinking of getting the purple one. Your looks are beautiful!

@@melthompson2856 But the look still looked AMAZING. Which proves me right🤣😘 You're the most talented on UA-cam 💋❤
You ladies are amazing I was pondering about these but I think they are a skip unless Mel applies them on me 😂
@@nadiadncr hahaha, exactly. If Mel applies it, I'll get them, if not it's a PASS. Hehe🤣🤣🤣
Tara Lynn YES! 😂 💕
So waiting for more pastel trend releases!
:-( It seems like it is going to be a wait until we get a great pastel formulation though
@@jenniferbossinger1082 The Creepy Cute palette is a pretty good pastel formula.
Jennifer Bossinger shroud cosmetics creepy cute is the best IMO
Thank you, Mel! I've been most excited to see your review of these palettes. I'm considering the mint one the most, just because I have no mint colored eyeshadows in my collection, but that lilac one looks beautiful!💜💜💜
I agree, why start using plastic? There's a plastic dump the size of a lg island floating around our oceans that gets bigger $ bigger everyday..smh. I'm passing on these, I looked into all of these colors in my own collection already and most are in my Jefree Star,s Jawbreaker, his formulae is damn near perfect very pigmented, there are also pastel in ND Tropic palette, in ABH' Norvina and Cari Bybels palette.

I'm honestly convinced at this point that Mel could put potting soil on her eyes and make it look high fashion. Pastels look awesome on you.
I need as much conviction to life as Mel has to blending eyeshadow. I can walk away, grab a coke, use the bathroom , come back and she is still blending the same color.

Going from cardboard to plastic is a step backwards. Who does that nowadays? Less plastic, please, not more.
Thank you Mel! I’ll be skipping these. They wouldn’t work on my skin tone probably for the looks I like! I loved seeing your application though!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Wooaaahhh your swatches of the lilac one is 💥

Hi Mel, Love you and your channel. I believe you are genuinely one of the nicest people. I love to be friends in person. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews and tutorials.

I don't use pastels, even though you had trouble, you still made some great looks. Thanks for sharing.
Ooh so if you had to choose between the lilac one here, and the Amethyst palette she released, which would you recommend more? Is it even a choice? Lol
I remember that one being in your faves and you raving about it 😁
Man, even when the products disappoint, I am still amazed by the gorgeous looks you come out with!! ♥️ That is *talent* and *skill*, and a lovely canvas to start with 🤩
Thanks Mel. What a shame that the mint one was so hard to build up/etc. because that look is stunning on you! I really want the Lilac one although I have the Huda Nudes Light and wonder if they are very similar hmmmm. One cannot get enough purple in my world though!
The price point would be way better at $18 maybe $20 but ya..with her amazing mini nudes complimenting her large New Nudes and the packaging its a decent price point, but these maybe 20 !! Hope your surgery is going well and wish for a speedy recovery...I had mine out several years ago, which my recovery wasnt fast as they had to double blow me up to find my gull bladder *( I cant believe it was air that caused all the pain...sure your recovery will be smooth SMOOCHES MEL
Super! I'm a Lilac pastels girl too ✋thanks for the detailed review! XO
I just love your looks, you are so talented. What lilac palette and what aqua blue mint palette's do you think are the best? if possible please let me know. I have blue eyes and the lilac and blues look good on me. Thank you
Oooo and pretty please tell me where to get the beautiful white book selection behind you??? I love it so much....the aqua palette was sooo difficult to work with but OMG How amazing does it look on your eyes and complexion 5*......
I like the overall look of the palettes, especially with the shimmer animal print shades! I am so drawn to those! But, I know that I wouldn't actually use these palettes, they're just pretty to look at.
The only thing that saved the green look was that you have stunning eyes!
Hey Mel That lilac palette is really pretty. That is the only one I really liked. But I wasn't thinking about buying any of them, cause I spent alot of money on the Blood Lusts palette by JSC. I trying not to spend any money for a bit. But let's see how that works for me. All the eye looks you did are very pretty.
I’ve not heard good stuff about this originally, I’m not a HUDA beauty fan, you’ve still made them look beautiful though xx
I bought all three from her site too. I really like them but I prefer softer looks.
Hey Mel 💞 I love the look of the purple palette. Have a good weekend! ~ Charli 💕
The thing I find about Huda’s obsession palettes that she releases in 3s is that I find I want a few shades from each palette to get a look I like!
Great review as always. Thank you!
They do look cute and pretty. Passing since I bought a palette from cloud beauty and waiting for smokey glow's collab to restock.
Thank you for your advices. I live in France et I am very interesting par these 3 palettes so thank you for this test.
hello mel, the third makeup blue is a wonder, I also like the look n2, very pretty
U made it work girl. I really am looking for a purple pallet and going to try to recreate the 2nd look shopping my collection. Can you or others recommend a good purple pallet?
All 3 looks are gorgeous!!!
