The Balm Cosmetics Nude 'Tude Eyeshadow Palette Review + Swatches

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?

I recently received $10.00 in Kohl's Cash from Influenster to use during the Love Your Look event and I decided to use it towards the purchase of the Nude 'Tude eyeshadow palette by The Balm Cosmetics.  Everything from The Balm Cosmetics was 10% off so I only paid $22.40 for this palette.  I've had my eyes on this palette for quite a while now, but never got around to purchasing it.  Actually, this is my first purchase from the brand in general.  I honestly don't know why I waited so long to buy from them.  These shadows are so smooth and pigmented!  The only shade in this palette that I'm not too excited about is the black shade.  It's not the darkest black in my collection, and it also feels a bit chalky.  Which is strange because the other shadows don't feel chalky at all.  This isn't a deal breaker for me though since I have at least a dozen other black eyeshadows.  In this palette, there are a total of 12 shadows; 8 shimmer/glitter shades and 4 matte shades.  If you're not a fan of shimmery shadows, then this palette probably isn't for you since it's 2/3 shimmers/glitters.  This has a good size mirror and also comes with a dual ended eye brush.  The quality of the brush isn't the best, but I rarely use the brushes that are included with palettes anyway.

I was also given a free sample of the Mary-Lou Manizer highlight with purchase.

I hope you found this helpful.  Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have an amazing week!
