Hi loves! Today's review is on Melt Cosmetics Smoke Sessions Palette ($48.00). I know it's sold out on most places, but I still wanted to share my thoughts on it.
As you can see on the pictures above it's inspired by cannabis and the anatomy of the plant. The packaging is cardboard and closes magnetically. Inside there is a mirror and 8 eyeshadows: 6 metallics and 2 mattes.
I have used it on myself and also on other people. One thing I noticed was the metallics give so much fall out and is mess to use. I need to always apply them wet and before I do the base. Otherwise there is a lot of fall out. I didn't experience it with a matte shades. Both metallics and the mattes are pigmented and intense. You can see the swatches down below.
- Gravity OG - is a metallic yellow gold.
- Grand Daddy - is a metallic olive green
- Black Widow - is a metallic darker olive green and I got lot of fall out when I used it. Others where not as bad.
- Sour Diesel - is a matte gray olive and its so pigmented. I do feel I need to use it together with another eyeshadow. If I don't, it wants to get muddy and looses some of its intensity.
- Space Queen - is a matte hunter green. It's the perfect shade to smoke up any eye look.
- Mean Green - is a metallic emerald green. I love to use it when I go for more smoky look.
- Sweet Tooth - is a metallic jade green. It's so pretty all over the lid.
- Blue Dream - is a metallic mint pearl and another shadow, that gives lot of fall out. It still is one of my favorites from the palette. Its so unique!
Overall I do like this palette. It contains beautiful and unique shades, but I feel like I need more mattes when I create a look. Also some of the shadows gave too much fall out. I think it's perfect for someone who is looking something to add into their collection. It's not going to be the palette that gives you everything you might need.
Down below you can see the demo part of this review. I did the eye makeup after I have done the base and I need to clean up the under eye area.
Did you pick it up? Do you like it?
Thank you for reading! xo's
I saw this but the shades are not quite calling out to me. I really want to buy Gimini palette though, that is stunning! Are you planning to get it?
