NudeTude Neutral Eye Shadow Palette
I wanted to do a review today for you all. As I was trying to decide what I was going to review, it popped into my head that I should review the NudeTude Palette. I have been using this like crazy and I'm completely in love. This is the perfect neutral palette that you can grab and be set for a weekend at home, vacation, or if you're a college student a break at home. This is my go to palette when I am in a hurry and don't want to think about what shadows to pair or don't know what to do for my eye makeup.

I want to talk about the pigmentation of these eye shadows. They are very pigmented and a little goes a long way. I made the mistake the first time of using as much as I would with most of my drug store eye shadows. Lets just say that I had to start my eyes over...oops! I absolutely love how pigmented the black shadow is. I use it as my liner on my upper lashes. I enjoy using this shadow more than any of my gel or liquid eye liners.

The blend-ability of these shadows rivals that of my MAC eye shadows. I love using these shadows when doing other people's makeup because they blend like a dream and I can breeze through the eyes. I believe that the blend-ability of these eye shadows is due to how creamy the shadows are. I actually believe that they are the creamiest eye shadows that I own.

One last thing I want to add is that there are some shadows with some glitter and some shadows with a little bit of shimmer. There are only 3 matte colors in this palette. If you are looking for a palette that has an equal ratio of shimmer to matte shadows...this isn't it. BUT it is still an amazing palette nonetheless and I still recommend it.
This palette is a little on the pricey side ($36.00) but if you catch it on Hautelook (www.hautelook.com) at a discounted price (I bought mine for $18.00). You can find it everyday at www.thebalm.com .
as always <3,

P.S. I recently used this on a friend and she LOVED the eye makeup.
