  • Hi Frenzzz,
    I thought to speak about Melt palettes, because I found myself referencing a few in my June favs. And figured why not just describe all of them, and perhaps that will provide context for you in deciding which palette could be for you or nah!

      The melt 8/10 pan palettes are magnetic. You can swap out the shades and rearrange them or make your own color stories. I have the Smoke Sessions, Gemini and Millennial Pinx- they make some of my favorite light & grungy color stories in my collection. Goalz is my favorite green shadow!!

    I don't own any Melt products. I think the brand is cool and they have great ideas, but I feel like they always have quality issues. I heard someone say that they're the new Urban Decay and I would agree. They have taken over as the grunge/edgy brand on the market.

    If you're interested, the Radioactive palette is still at Sephora. I'm just missing 420 and I'll have all the palettes. Melt's just got the tones that draw you in and you want to love them soooo much! They just really need to work on their formulation. I completely agree with you about Rust. It's like really good, for Melt. It's not really good compared to a lot of other brands though.

    Alicia, I've never clicked so fast! I don't have a lot of Melt palettes. I'm still tempted by Millennial Pinx. Even tho I know it's difficult.
    Here's my ranking of the ones I own & use most:
    1. Beetle Juice (pair of 2 palettes)
    2. Smoke Sessions
    3. Blueprint
    4. Gemini

    Color story wise I think Melt makes beautiful and creative combinations, they’re really esthetically pleasing to look at. However, I could never purchase just because if I have to fuss when using a palette it’ll end up collecting dust. Thank you so much for such a comprehensive video…I love your makeup talk.

    This is such a helpful video! I’m stuck between three palettes atm but Rust just became my #1 must buy palette. The color story for Mary Jane is just so tempting and then there is Brunette… I know I shouldn’t. You explain why so well. It’s just missing that deeper shade to really make it go from a beautiful palette to a perfect palette. But the whiskey theme makes me laugh so much…. I’m a sucker for a good theme. Regardless, thank you!

    For anyone that missed out on the Amor Eterno collection... I don't know I'd keep an eye out on what those ladies are doing over there and what they mean by 'limited edition'. 👀 Earlier this year they renamed the Fortuna gel pot liner as *Fortune* and brought it back to the website, they also brought back the *Cultura* liner, and a few of the brushes reappeared in different packaging for the Brunet release. 🤷‍♀️ I'll always appreciate the packaging design for the big holiday releases though. 👏 They do really well with the packaging, where Urban Decay mostly fails with collabs. I'm always surprised when shimmers don't shim. Usually it's the mattes that suffer (esp mass produced private label stuff), but even if I buy products from the drugstore it's the shimmers that I can make work without much struggle. Tbh Alicia I personally wouldn't bother with the Radioactive palette; I don't feel that the quality translated well from the stack formula. ☢️

    @HairFanatics 3 роки тому +8

    Hi Alicia.. I have most of Melt's stacks, and palettes. Albeit not every shade in every palatte is "perfect" for "everyone," I would submit that a perfect palette for everyone ceases to exit; as it's an impossibility to make everyone happy. I for one, enjoy the softer shimmers and metallics in their palettes, as they look more sultry on the eyes. In the 38 years I've been in the beauty industry, Melt's grungy, rich, unique color schemes are what I searched for in single shadows since the 70's, 80's and 90's.
    Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

    I audibly gasped when the gold shade jumped out the Gemini palette. 😂I did buy Gemini during all the hype and was disappointed by the performance so I returned it. Recently, I bought Impulsive from Sephora on sale for $32. I was surprised how good it was. I think I will get Rust next. Your review for it and the showdown you did featuring it convinced me. Those showdowns are so helpful. It is nice to revisit some older palettes. I would love to see more when you have time. 😘

    I own a lot from Melt and love the colour stories so much. I was thrilled to find a dupe for the deep teal from Natasha Denona Gold palette - this creases on me no matter what base I use. I found the dupe in Melt Smoke Sessions and it's perfection.
    I love the deep teal and was SO sad the ND Gold palette quality was disappointing for me.

    I see each release of melt cosmetics eyeshadow pallets and I love love love the color stories. But watching review videos I get nervous about making a purchase because as you stated their formula can be hit or miss and the reviews are all over the place. But I know one day I will give them a try despite how finicky they are to use and the risk of quality. But watching this video made me want several pallets all over again. A wonderful thorough review and overview Alicia 😍

      It is very much hit'n'miss! I'd say in the last 2 years, the only palettes I could recommend are the ones from the Amor Eterno collection and She's In Parties. 👍 What's funny is that their growing collection of gel pot liners are pretty consistent with each new release.

    Hi Alicia this was an awesome review of the Melt eyeshadow palettes! I don’t own any but Smoke Sessions is my favorite that you reviewed. I’ve been watching your videos for a long time now and I notice that you never use a mixing medium on your lid for metallics or shimmers. You should try NYX’s Multitasker Mixing Medium. I use it for all of my metallics and shimmer shades no matter the brand and it brings out the shine and sparkle like nobody’s business! I’m sure it would work wonders for the Melt metallics! Mac also makes a good mixing medium. Both NYX and Mac are easy to use. Just apply it on your lid with a brush, let it dry a little bit, and apply the shimmer on your lid with your finger or lid brush and voila! 😍😍

    I just keep thinking back at the Haze stack and how smooth and pigmented and METALLIC those shimmers were!! What happened?!! I do know at some point Melt said they changed their manufacturer when they went into Sephora and it very well must be why we are seeing the change and inconsistency.

    • @SH-wk6po
      @SH-wk6po 3 роки тому +1

      I think so too. Usually it's either a) ingredients and supplier issues, and/or b) lab/manufacturer that messes with something that wasn't broken in the first place. I remember how badly Sugarpill struggled with this, and they ended up changing labs twice I think? Those eyeshadow singles they promoted were released a very long time after the first promo pics came out.

    Where Melt gets me is they sell complete and (relatively) unique concepts in compact little collections. They are also not afraid to play with more unique undertones in all of their products. Those two plus the “cool” aesthetic the brand is curating is what is really holding them up through all their inconsistencies and less well received products. I will say their non eyeshadow products (specifically the eyeliners and cheek products comes to mind) seem to have less attention but are more consistent.

    I love Melt, they have amazing colour stories and their matte formula is my #1, especially their deep mattes. I own 6 palettes.
    In terms shimmer ease of use I'd say Rust and Waiting Room (Beetlejuice) are the best, followed by She's in Parties and Vida, Smoke Sessions, then Gemini. But I love and use them all.
    I kinda want Mary Jane, Brunet is almost there for me, Twenty Seven, and Four Twenty (it has better reviews now than it did last year, hmm). I also wish I didn't pass on Muerte.
    Low key though, I'm waiting on a Gunmetal and Baby Girl palette to be a thing.

    My Gemini absolutely struggles in the metallics department but my Smoke Sessions (my favourite colour story in a palette ever) handles pretty well but works excellently with a good glitter glue. I see it as a good compromise for the lovely colours and grungy themes.

    I've never purchased a Melt palette. I've added a few to my cart but haven't pulled the trigger. There have just been too many issues with inconsistent metallics, product pushing out of the pans, pans falling out, etc. For the price I just can't justify pulling the trigger on mediocre quality. And because Melt has so many stans and collectors, it's hard to know how well they actually perform.

    Thanks for the melt video, I love them , I like many brands for many reasons. But, top 3 Pat Mcgrath, Natasha Denona and Melt when it comes to shadows they are my weakness. I have discovered new influencers looking for melt looks. I'm older so I don't care about having an extreme shine w/ metelics .I'm happy to be able to do a dramatic eye without going overboard. I get that these extreme shine is what's happening now with all the multicromes and indy releases which I have but barely reach for. I hope melt has much success! Thanks again for giving them some love.

    Melt's neutrals are very deceptive. You think they are just more warm browns or whatever until you actually try & dupe the shades. I absolutely loved all the shades in Gemini--the green & the brown, but my palette "bloomed" & got funky so I stopped using it. Instead I held onto it to compare swatches & dupe with singles. Easy, right? Those shades are more complex than you think. I must own 50 different shades of "olive" green & none of them matched. Usually they were too grey or too blue compared to the olive green mattes in Gemini. I was a little luckier with the browns, I had a Viseart Theory palette (Cashmere) that had a close match for one of the browns. But everything else was waaaaay too charcoal, orange or red. Those shades are complex, most grungy/pukey type shades are, especially when they're warm. I'm still trying to dupe Gemini but have since kind of settled for "close enough" ( I'm still holding onto the palette for swatch comparisons :) But anyway, I think there is something really special about Melt neutral palettes. If I enjoyed/trusted their formula more I would buy every neutral palette Melt released because I love the unique shade selections & themes.

    Wonderful video! Melt is my number 2 fave makeup brand for inspiration. PMG is #1 but she speaks to my glam side, while Melt understands my angst. I missed the Beetlejuice collection but have everything else. I really hope they make a purple based palette since promiscuous from the lovesick stack is their lone ranger besides the BJ collection. Good, bad, or meh, I'm here for it all!😊 edit...I slept on Dana's 27 palette and recently got it and was very sorry😪. It's not your typical warm palette and it IS brown person friendly 😊!

    My thing about melt Metallics is that they don’t have a lot of impact. When you have hooded lids I always spray down a metallic so it doesn’t move and melt tends to fall off even when I spray it down. With a mixing medium it looks awesome but the metallics don’t give punch. I need punch with metallics. But Beetlejuice is my favorite I’m also staring them down and not using them so I guess I gotta start now.
