Maybelline The Blushed Nudes Palette Review + Swatches

Hello, everyone!  I hope you had a great weekend.

I finally have a drugstore palette to review and swatch for you.  I haven't purchased a drugstore makeup palette in a very long time.  Ever since I started to buy higher end makeup I haven't really gone back.  However, I've heard really good reviews about this particular palette so I decided to pick it up.

The packaging is your standard plastic packaging with no mirror and a couple of cheap foam applicators inside.  The shadows are pretty good for drugstore.  There are a few winners and a couple of losers in this palette.  Most of the shades are shimmer/glitter with the exception of one matte shade.  I do wish there was at least one or two more matte shades in this palette if I'm being honest.  Otherwise, this is actually a pretty nice palette.  This retails for $9.99 at Ulta, but most (if not all) of the coupons Ulta gives out work with this brand.

Swatches:

Top Row

Bottom Row

I definitely prefer the bottom row for pigmentation, but I do like the last two shades in the top row.  I'm also liking the gold shade (bottom row, first shade from the right) and the three shades kind of in the middle of the bottom row (third, fourth, and fifth from the right).  My least favorite shades are the third from the right in the top row, the second from the right in the bottom row, and the very last shade in the bottom row.

What are your thoughts on this palette?  I actually really like this palette.  The pigmentation isn't too bad and most of the shades are very pretty.

Thank you for stopping by!
