I really appreciate the dedication to swatching and comparing to her existing palettes - it's so helpful for those of us who already have some of the previous palettes to see whether there are similarities and if it's worth getting the new one. 👍🏽
Agree!!!
Glad this was said!! 💯💯💯
I cant believe how many shades were similar. I mean like one or two I get but with so many it seems like you only need 1 palette and you're good
Your work ethic is impeccable , all the brands should sponsorship you
Thank you!!!
Agree! 100%
I’m so glad that this channel is still up. I finally picked this up in 2021.
Just got my Huda MR palette in my boxycharm premium and Mel is the first i go to for all the deets and looks.. I SURE DO MISS YOU GIRL.. FLY HIGH SWEETHEART💔💔😘 You will ALWAYS inspire me❤️❤️❤️
Doing the same here! I miss her so much.
I miss Mel so much, I love how she was always one of the first to review a palette. Not just that she made one of most beautiful eyeshadow looks with any palette.
Everyone: "You should never take a shimmer into your crease."
Mel: Hold my Wayne Goss...
Lol!!!!
Lol although I don't think it's so hard and fast anymore. It's really just the influencers who only do makeup a certain way say that, at least as far as I can tell...
I always wondered why this is a "rule". I always do it anyways.....but what is the actual reason why people say not to? Can someone explain please.
Carla Dal Col I could ABSOLUTELY be wrong, but I thought it was the same idea of face highlight and contour... that mattes in the crease give the ‘contour’ and depth to the eye and shimmer pulls out the eye like a ‘highlight’ to the face?
EDIT: I also put shimmer and mattes wherever too lol. Because if you shouldn’t have shimmer in the crease then technically it seems one shouldn’t have an all matte eye look then either right? Based on the “rules”. 😂💁🏼♀️
You should have seen me in the nineties, shimmers and glitters hardcore all over the space between eyelashes and eyebrows in beige, gold, brown and sometimes really wild with a touch of green. It was heaven and so much fun! 😜😂😂😂
This palette is on sale at Sephora and I knew that I needed to get what your thoughts were on it before I made the plunge. I valued your opinion so much, I love your personality, and seeing your face on my feed always brought me such joy. I never connected more to someone on UA-cam, Mel you are missed more than you know.
What ever happened? I use to watch her a good bit and I think I remember her saying about her health wasn't the best but I never really knew what happened 😔
Damn! I was not interested in this palette and then I saw Mel’s looks. Girl you are bad for my wallet 😜
Lol! I’m sorry!!! 😂❤️💋
Same 😂
Mel Thompson Hi Mel, thank you for another great video! I am subscribed to your channel for a long time now and I love every video from you! You are THE eyeshadow expert! I would really appreciate your help! Which matte eyeshadow formula would you recommend, that is easy to work with? Price doesn’t matter. What do you think about viseart? I would really love to hear, what’s your opinion. I think matte shadows can be really hard to work with.
The same happened to me lol. I was like the color story is meh and after watching Mel’s video I want that palette 😂
Huda has come out with some really nice colour stories this year. The neon green, the nude obsessions and now this. I think I may eventually get this but I really wan to spend money on other people for the rest of the year as well as shop my stash and finish some things. As always I thoroughly appreciate the comparisons at the end. Thanks for the vid!
Ugh! The colours are so pretty! Palette mania needs to stop.... I cant possibly buy or use all of these! lol
I don't purchase from Huda anymore, but out of all of her large pallets I still think Desert Dusk is the most beautiful one. This one just doesn't have an inspiring colour story. Mel always kills it with those amazing looks!! 💜
I love how you do such a thorough palette comparison at the end, it's so helpful. Thank you Mel!
Thank you!!!
I bought this for myself as a Christmas present.... is my first huda palette
Carla Souza me too and I loveeeee it
How do you like it so far!? I want this palette!
Christina Brown it is absolutely amazing..... I now will be paying more attention to huda
@@carlasouza5306 thanks for the reply! Time to place my order! 😁
Christina Brown let me know what you think.... also I got no fallout....
... the irony not lost on me that you ran into some technical difficulties reviewing Mercury Retrograde during a Mercury Retrograde. :)
Lol!!!
I miss your reviews. I will always watch you videos ❤️
I don't own any Huda Beauty products, but this one is definitely on my wishlist. It looks stunning.
Same!
I love that when you review palettes, a lot of times you do 2 or 3 different looks with the palette. I appreciate this so much because I know it’s gotta be hard work and so time consuming. You’re the best!
Ooooh and I've done that with the sd card. IT LITERALLY feels like you got punched in the gut🥺🥺🥺 I'm so sorry hun . But you are amazing for re-filming it, that's soooo much extra work and of course your audience appreciates that thorough work ❤💋❤💋❤💋❤
Yes! I ALMOST cried... I know, dramatic, but it can be so overwhelming! 😩❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@melthompson2856 not dramatic at all. That's a LOT of work.. Crying is an appropriate reaction😥😥😫😫
Love your eye looks and that you teach us while your doing them. Would LOVE to see your makeup collection I'm sure its massive!
Hey, Mel! Once again, your poor fingers got a workout for our benefit. No one does comparisons like you & I appreciate it. Thank you for your dedication. 💋
OMG thanks for reviewing this!!! I was waiting for your review before I made a decision.
I've missed watching your videos because I'm trying to avoid a lot of reviews of each "newest thing" to avoid temptation. I've been wanting this palette since it came out and finally bought it yesterday and will be recreating those gorgeous looks, Mel! Love you!
I value that your energy is down to earth. Or what you exhibit in your videos. Some women have a hard time with aging, or maybe they were always a little odd, but their ego outshines them.
I had to get this. I think it's SO PRETTY. It's my first larger Huda palette.
I had been eyeing this pallet and caved in two days ago. It is absolutely gorgeous! I have gotten so many compliments on the looks already
Wow Mel does such a beautiful job explaining what she is doing for each look. Even if I know I don’t want the pallet I’m watch for the makeup lesson! 🖤
i love your swatches. quick and to the point, the names are the photo, the lighting is great... Nothing drives me more crazy than a slow swatch video
Noooo I had talked myself out of wanting this when I saw the Australian price but now I want it again :(
We get high prices here in Canada, too. $115 for the Tom Ford eyeshadow quads at Sephora. =:O
Same. I find her palettes frustrating the colours are so pretty but the formula annoys me given what they cost here and this one is even higher than normal at $115. Ultimately I'm not paying that for shadows that are temperamental. Maybe if it goes on sale at some point
I just checked it's not marked up on cult beauty and it qualifies for free shipping making it $15 cheaper than Aus Sephora if you are prepared to wait for it to get here from the UK
I saw it at Sephora the other day and couldn't resist. It's stunning. I wore it for the first time yesterday and got compliments at work ❤️
@@bendietrees it's extremely pretty it's the mark up that annoys me especially when I can order it from the UK and pay $98 with free delivery including taxes. They are charging $17 more than the rrp... the other large huda palettes are $99 so why is this one so inflated?
I wasn’t sure at first but now I know I want it. Thanks Mel I appreciate you, normally I don’t comment but after yesterday’s comment section you need to know that there are people who do love and support you so the meanness doesn’t get under your skin 💕
Thank you, I appreciate that. Yesterday took a toll on me. Your words really make a difference ❤️
Oh no what happened yesterday?! What did I miss?! Whatever it was I'm sure you did not deserve it. Even if you did say something controversial people need to be nicer. Don't let it get to you xxx
Mercury Retrograde got your first two looks! When Mercury is in retrograde, it’s supposed to interfere with communication, especially technology. ☺️ Thank you for this wonderful review. I absolutely love this palette. It is just perfection to me! I love every color, which is really rare. For the first time in history, I actually got two. I’m keeping one beautiful and untouched and the other, I’m going to go crazy with❣️
Those eye looks...What kind of magic are you using??!! Your skillz never cease to amaze me. I really love these shades and think it would be a great way to add some color to my eye game.
Thanks, loveee🍃🌸
I wasn’t really interested in this palette either, and then I saw this video... I loved all 3 looks you did. Great job! Your blending skills are top notch.
I just love how you leave no question unanswered.
I bought that palette for Nebula lol. I mean, I bought it for all the pretty colors but Nebula, the teals & pinks especially caught my eye. It's my first Huda palette & I love it. Idk why ppl are just blowing it off or not talking more about it, it is gorgeous.
I'm absolutely saving this video for when I use it again. My first attempt was a bit of a flop so the inspiration is much appreciated! Thanks so much for doing 3 looks w/ this palette.❤
Let me tell you that your swatches are the best swatches I've even seen including the Tati's Palette. Amazing.
I just bought this palette and I am here for her opinion. I miss her.
Dangit! I know better - such a beautiful palette, but I'll never wear those gorgeous shimmers and you made me want it now! 😵
Edit: Just bought it. 🙄 Maaaybe I'll wear some shimmer to the office after all...
lol!!!!
Anonymous Yaaaaaassssss! Werk it girl!
Do it! I'm just now getting into glitters and shimmers and I'm 37. Screw it! They're gorgeous!
@@bendietrees I'm 49, I have the most hooded eyes EVER, I wear shimmers, metallics, glitters... I love it, I wear it, I have no shame! And all that since the 90s! 😜😂💛
💛👍🏻 You'll rock that glitter at the office! 👍🏻💛
My dog chewed up the cardboard on my Huda nude palette so I'm very happy for plastic on this one! Love the looks! Can't wait to try them out!
Holy smokes these looks are all so gorgeous!! And I have to say im.sure I don't have quite a few of those beautiful shades in my collection which makes me want this palette even more now!! Great review Mel your always killing it!!💟💟💟
I am still deciding if I want this palette🤔 Those comparisons at the end was SOOOOO helpful. Thanks hun.. ❤💋 Have a wonderful Sunday😁❤
You too, love!!!
I love watching your reviews even on palettes i have no interest in. You are so honest and i just love watching you doing your makeup
I couldn't wait to see your review and I bought it the first day it was available and I'm sooooooooo in love😍😍😍 but just wanted to say I always come and check your reviews before buying anything 😁 thank you for your work!!
Oh you make the prettiest looks girlie! I’ve missed ya but I’m about to get caught up Nothing’s better than binging on your videos!!
I love that I got this palette in her mystery bag!! The bag was $89 and it has this palette , summer solstice highlight palette, diamond lip balm, eyeliner , sponge , lip gloss, honey balm and a beautiful train case makeup bag. Just really good bang for ur buck. I’m happy I waited to get the palette. I have the rose gold remastered and it’s one of my favs. I’m happy to have this in my collection especially for $13 a item if u break it down so it’s worth it !
I love the looks you achieved. Of all Huda’s nude palettes, I think I like this the best because of the color pops. Thank you.
Mel do you ever get a chance to actually go through an entire eyeshadow pallet?? lol! You’re always doing so many amazing looks ! 💕
Your comparison is exactly what I did in Sephora... If you had uploaded the video 1 hr earlier, I would not go and try by myself! In my opinion, this palette combines nude and fun. I will buy it!
Well, here we go again... I had talked myself out of this palette AND THEN I go and watch Mel’s video!! The sad part is that I’m waay old enough to know better! Great color combinations, Mel! Love you!
Love you back!!!
I’m a bit late with this comment, but I wanted to thank you so much for this review! I had the hardest time making this palette work and thought I might have wasted my money until I saw this video. After using your tips, I was able to make it work beautifully! Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you! I got my palette last night. Excited try try your looks😘🤗
Hi Mel, I've been trying excitedly to watch this all morning but I kept getting interrupted and that just can't happen with one of your videos 😂😂😂 I had a feeling you were going to go over this palette! And I'm even more excited now that I'm seeing it on your beautiful face! The colors are amazing! I don't care for the plastic, we have enough plastic destroying our oceans and the poor animals that get stuck in all of the debris. Any who's I can not wait to get mine tomorrow! Thank you so much for putting as much of hard work behind the scenes as you do in your perfectly curated videos! You are just one of my favorite ppl! Your hard work, blood, sweat and tears do not go unnoticed! And I think I might have a problem I already spent 800$ on my first haul! But I'm an artist and I care for my skin, so this is my medium! I know you know what I mean! Thanks again for all of your hard work and love you put into your excellent videos! 💖💞💕👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎨😍💋
Oh and for the small amount of dislikes they just have to be haters bc this video goes beyond the content of other UA-camrs, I can not wait for the day you get the attention and appreciation you deserve! Kudos to you!
Hi Mel, I litteraly love your style, your creativity and the way you do your gourgeous makeup every single time.
The comparisons are also the top of your dedication about your work to help us in the case we possessed some palettes of Huda, for create some looks with similar eyeshadows of her palettes ( for example I think that if one person has the new mini nude light and the emerald or the sapphire palette could create looks with an ispiration of the new Mercury retrograde palette).
For me you are one of the best MUA in the global beauty community!! 🤗🐻❤
P.s. I'm italian so excuse me if somethimes I wright something wrong!!🙆
Bye bye and kisses from Italy!
Can you do a comparison between the Huda and the Jordan Liberty Palettes, I’m torn between the two and I want to take advantage of the SEPHORA VIB Rouge sale ❤️
Wow you are almost at 130k unbelievable. You are amazing Mel. I got your lipstick and posted it on IG they are wonderful
This huda palette will be my first ever huda purchase! After kvds pastel palette, no one has really done one and I wasn't able to get kvds so I'm really excited for this one💜💙
me went into sephora intended to get just the light nude.. and walked out with that AND mercury retrograde... i LOVE that light lavender colour in the middle SO MUCH!
I’m sure Huda hates you for the swatches at the end comparing her other palettes with this new one! Thank you so much I can definitely say ONE Huda palette is enough I’m glad I picked this up 😅
This palette is inspired by the Spectral from Linda Hallberg + the "old" New Nude from Huda. ^_^ Beautiful make-up Mel, thank you. ♥
I've seen many of your videos, and this one is completely fabulous; you're amazing!
I think I want this one and the mini new nude in light 😍 Thanks for this video and all the comparisons!
We miss you and your beautifull personality 😢❤
Miss you Mel 💕
You deserve millions of followers🥰 thank you for your Videos 🥰 greetings from Germany ☀️
Waited for this video for weeks. Its worth the wait. I love u Mel!
Mel, I miss you so much!
Thank you so much for these swatches. There are so many similar shades between this and the New Nude, I cant justify the price.
I don’t mind working with any eyeshadow palette that has shades like THAT!!!! My absolute FAVORITE HUDA palette to date 😻
One thing you, Briana and Alicia are going to do is give it to us in full! Y’all are my holy trinity on yt for make up.
Its 2024 Mel, and I am still referring to your videos for palette reviews ... I'm sure you are beautifying heaven (not me crying 😢🦄)
Miss you, Queen. This YT community isn't the same for me w/o u. Rest in peace 💗
I don’t really watch huda but her products are definitely my fave out of all the beauty gurus. Great colours and quality.
I appraise how hard your work n thoughtfulness!
Wow! Most of the colors are very different except for a few. Great video, as usual, Mel.
Ugh I just purchased the Jeffree X Shane Conspiracy palette....now I need this palette! This is one of the prettiest palettes Huda has released.
I love this!!!!! I can always count on you for the most amazing eyeshadow palette looks and reviews!!! :)
Just thought you should know.... Watching you compose the eye looks was amazing! You are so good at pairing colors and adding little touches that just put a look over the top!
I am SO glad I got this palette, ive been enjoying the crap out of it! its actually my favorite palette in a while! Love the looks you did Mel
I have to say this is one of my favorite huda beauty palettes...i agree...that top row is just awesome. Those purples!!!!
Beautiful Mel, as always I can trust your opinion on all things makeup. I’m so happy I bought this pallete.
You always do such an EXCELLENT job showing and explaining everything. Great use of the colors to make those three eye looks! My BF just bought me this pallete for my Birthday and now I can't wait to dive in! Thanks for another great video!
I want this palette. I’m a Huda Beauty eyeshadow lover. It looks stunning on you. Xoxoxo ♥️🦋🙏
Im rewatching ur videos of palette I still want 😫😫
You give the most complete reviews! Thank you!
I hadn’t planned on getting this, but when I went to Sephora for the holiday sale & saw it, it immediately went into my basket. The packaging & color story are beautiful!! I used it yesterday & loved the look. I did notice the colors you mentioned not going on well at first, but they did get better once I got that top layer off. I’m really glad I added this to my Huda collection! (Love all three looks you created!) ❤️
Thank you for swatching all of those magnificent colors..I'm so excited to play with Retrograde & Rose Gold Remastered
What did you do to me?! Neither the MIR/New Nudes palettes were on my radar! But they are now. Thanks for doing such wonderful and inspiring work!
I'm so happy they stopped selling Mink lashes. Their palettes are incredibly beautiful, but I wouldn't buy from them because of their cruelty free status. This may be my first purchase from them. Thank you Mel for the review!
Mel, after Samantha's WIBI I wrote in her comment that I'm not that interested in this palette. And then I wrote, well, I think I'm probably not interested until Mel does her review. And what can I say, I was right! 😂😂😂 Companies should pay you! 😜❤🧡💛
😂😂😂😂😂💋💋💋
Oh Mel thank you so much. When you started this tutorial I went and put this pallet into my Sephora Cart. Then at the end when you did all the comparisons, I realized that I had so many of those shades already with the other pallets. Thank you so much. You saved me some money and space in my collection. You are awesome. 💜Kaye
Thank you for banging up your new palette to give us those comparison swatches. Appreciate the extra effort.Okay, I didn't think I needed this,but now I want it.
The comparisons at the end were so helpful :) thank you! Loved all 3 looks❤
thank you so much Mel for the wonderful review :)
A follow up comment. I was going to talk myself out of this pallet but I snagged one of those 100$ Sephora gift cards with my points, and picked it up. I love it and did not have any issues with the film you talked about, but, I’m glad the pallet worked out for you. I love the New Nudes and this one, the best, of all her pallets.
BEAUTIFUL as ALWAYS Mel!!!! Love you! Love your channel!! Love how you make me feel it’s okay to think out of the box and do my own thing!! You are really a great inspiration!!!!! And you and Puffin are relationship goals!! You guys are too cute!!
You qre literally so hardworking.. best review of this palette 💞
Comparison part is the best. Very thorough. ✌️
I love this look, beautiful and I just got some Sonia G brushes. I finally just picked this palette up yesterday. With our new reality living with the fluid situation of Covid-19, I needed a lift and some new makeup to replace some palettes that were past their prime. Thanks for the tips, I do not set my under eyes. I have been looking at this palette since it came out and finally decided to pick it up. I was upset with Sephora, but I decided to give the new plan a shot. Picked up a Fenty Fly Liner, two other palettes, and some other things. I will be working from home for a while, but hey we all need to feel good while we work through our current situation. Mel, hoping you and your family stay well and I hope all everyone else out there is doing what they can to stay well. xoxo L
Picked this up the along with the Metropolis palette at the vib sale. Can’t wait to use them ☺️
Im so torn between the 2, 😭 I can only get 1 (I’m on a no buy but this is the most interested I’ve been in eyeshadow palettes in a long time). You would think the difference in price would make my decision a little easier.
G Bolt That’s a tough one. If it helps Metropolis is limited edition and as far as I know Mercury Retrograde isn’t.
The Unspoiled Princess ooh, had no idea. That’s definitely something to consider. Thanks!
You create the most beautiful looks and your blending skills are just amazing!
Thank you!!!
This video popped up on my home feed and I just love it. This palette is stunning. The looks you created are so beautiful and really showcase the different combinations of colors. I absolutely love the way you apply the browbone highlight shade. I started doing mine that way and it looks so good. I owe ya, sister girl!!💜💜💜
