 Hi guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. For today's video, I'm going to be reviewing the brand new NABLA cosmetics side-by-side collection. You guys are going to die. Neutral lovers, you better watch this video. So let's get going. Hi guys, if you're new here, my name is Morgan. I am a product knowledge enthusiast. I just love knowing anything and everything about all of the new makeup on the market and sharing my thoughts with you guys. Today we're going over NABLA cosmetics newest collection. Now, just for a little bit of background, in case you missed the video, NABLA recently sent me a lot of items from their collection and I did a whole video and I really was impressed by the products that I tried. They are an Italian brand and Italian makeup is my favorite. I think that the best makeup is made in Italy. A lot of times luxury makeup brands source their cosmetics from Italy and I feel like this is a way to get Italian formulas at a little bit more of an affordable price. I would say NABLA runs more mid-range high-end but they aren't luxury pricing. So it's definitely something that is more affordable. So they recently came out with their side-by-side collection and it was very kindly gifted to me. So I did get this gorgeous bag and then I got all of the items in the collection to share with you guys. And you will not be disappointed when I first saw this on trend mood. I was like, I really hope they send that to me and if they don't, I will definitely purchase it. So I was so thankful to see that this came in the mail. So currently the full collection is available on the NABLA Cosmetics site but the eyeshadow palettes are available online at Ulta as well if you are located in the US. So I will put links down below where you can shop from. So in the collection there are three different types of products. You get a 16-pan eyeshadow palette. They also have a glitter quad and then they also came out with a range of nude lip liners in six different shades. Now the lip liners are only currently available on the NABLA Cosmetics website so they are not available at Ulta. So let's take a deeper dive into the side-by-side palette. Like I said, this is a 16-pan palette. It is going to cost you $39 and online it says these 16 shades were developed to create an extended range of neutral looks and to easily define eyes with a game of reflections, lights, and shades. This has a multitude of different finishes. You have matte, oiled, celestial, and of course just your regular shimmer as well. So it is a cardboard packaging here and by the way, like I said, this is made in Italy and it has a 24-month shelf life. So you just have some neutral tones here with some gold decorations. I don't know what they're called. You do have a nice large mirror and then you have your 16 shades. Now color story-wise, this is just another neutral palette. So it was very important for me to give this a positive review that the shadows performed great because if we're being completely honest, if you're a makeup porter like me, I definitely already have these tones in my collection. But your girl just loves a good neutral palette. So in here, like I said, you're getting a mask, you're getting shimmers, you're getting celestials, you're getting a cream shimmer formula as well. As far as tone goes, it does stick pretty neutral. You do have some cooler tones down here. You have a few warmer tones that are pulled in as well. And then you just have your plain neutral brown shades. There is a pinky shade right here. You have a champagne shade right here. There are a couple pinky kind of shimmers here for the most part. It is a really true neutral palette, which I absolutely love. So yes, though this might be maybe not the most original color story in the world, I'm obsessed with it. I think it covers all your bases as far as neutral goes. I love the different array of textures. So that is why performance is really important. And then let's quickly also go into the Ruby Lights Glitter Palette. So this is the second palette that Nabla has come out with. I loved the first one that I tried. So I'm really excited to see this more neutral glitter palette. So this one comes in clear acrylic packaging. I love that you can just see the four gorgeous glitter shades. This again is also made in Italy with a 12 month shelf life, cruelty free and vegan as well. So this is going to cost $25 at Ulta. And in here you get a gold glitter. You get a reddish glitter, a pink glitter and then more of a copper orange glitter. Now these glitters aren't extremely fine. They are a multitude of different sizes within the pants. So it is going to give you a lot of dimension. You'll see on my eyes, I have different sizes of glitters all over my lid and I love it. And the big claim with this is with only one type glitters remain adherent as long as you want to your skin. Before we get to the lip liners, I'm going to show you the tutorial that I did incorporating both of these palettes. And I'll come back to talk about the quality a little bit more. So the first color I'm going to take is Rarity. I'm using the Esum V29 brush and I'm just going to apply that all underneath my brow bone just to set down and highlight this area. Esum V34 and we're taking the shade right here called Halftime. I'm going to use this shade all over. My crease and it's blending out beautifully. This formula isn't too powdery at all either. Esum V35 and we're going in with burnt sienna. You're going to see how incredible this formula is. You see how pigmented this color is. Here is where you really get to see how amazing this formula is. So I'm just going to blend. As you can see, we are doing more of a spotlight halo eye. So we want to focus the depth on the inner and outer portions of the eyelid. Esum V31 and we're going into Timpara. And again, you're going to see how much payoff we get from this. So I'm using little by little. I'm going to blend it out and this brush is a little bit more stiff. It's not necessarily a blending brush. So I'm just going to leave that there unblended for a second while I apply this shade also to the lower lash line. And this is nice and deep. I'm going to quickly go back in with the last Esum brush that I used and I'm going to blend this out more using my finger. I'm going into Cedarwood. This is just a nice, smooth, gorgeous chocolate shimmer shade. And I'm slowly going to bring that to the center of my eyelid. It's not going to be quite the center point, but we're starting to blend into this shimmery halo part. So it's light a little bit now and it's incorporating some of that shimmer. Really stunning V27 and we're going into the golden shade. Now this has more of a cream consistency compared to Cedarwood, which was more of like a powder formula. But as you can see, even with a brush, this is applying absolutely stunning and I'm going to be very precise in blending this out. So everything looks seamless and I'm especially blending it up the higher that I get. How gorgeous is this? This looks stunning and this applied so well with a brush, which I'm really impressed by V09 and I'm using Ray of Light and I'm going to use this as the inner corner color and then also just right underneath that high point of the brow. I'm throwing on some of NABLA's Cupid Arrow eyeliner. Esum 205 and we're taking on title with the black shade and I'm going to create a big smoky liner wing and also blend it out below your lower lash line. Okay, so I know the wing looks a little bit crazy. I promise you when lashes get on, it's going to all come together. But now we are going into the Ruby Lights Glitter Palette and I'm instantly eyeing the gold shade and I really like the NABLA pressed glitter formula. They stick straight to the eyelid. They last all day. I don't get much fallout. I mean, you do have to expect some fallout from a glitter shade. Just is what it is, but I love their pressed glitter formula. It's definitely one of the best that I've tried. I love the different dimensions and sizes that their glitter has. It's a little bit chunkier, but I really like that. It makes it look fully multi-dimensional. So I just applied that straight to the center of the lid and I love it. All right, you guys, I'm going to do liner lashes and then of course you will see the final look. And with liner lashes, lips, everything here is the final look. Now, I don't think I mentioned this, but all of the eye brushes that I used today were from the new Esum Brush Collection that they just launched. If you don't know Esum, they're one of my favorite brush brands to put in my makeup kit because they're just so durable. They're going to last you a really long time. The new collection, and these were gifted to me, but I wanted to try them out today. It's called the Vex Long Collection. So every brush that had a V at the beginning of it is from the new collection. And what's really special about this collection is that these are man-made fibers. So it's a great synthetic brush. So if you've been wanting to try a synthetic brush collection from Esum, I really feel like the shakes that they had in here did create a fully complete look. But also in the collection, there are a couple face brushes that I used off-camera, but I did want to share that in case you didn't know, Esum has come out with a new brush collection because they have awesome, durable brushes that are going to last you a lifetime. So that collection is available. But anyways, today was only my first day playing with them, so I'll keep you updated on those. But anyways, let's go back into the quality of the shadows. Oh, if you can't tell, I was absolutely floored by the quality of the mattes specifically in this palette. They were so pigmented, but they blended out gorgeous. And that is exactly what I wanted to say about this palette because I love the array of colors that they chose. The curation is just absolutely beautiful. But if I already have a billion neutral palettes in my collection, the quality in here needed to be impeccable to justify this palette. And I am proud to say gorgeous. The shimmers, really full of opacity, very creamy. The one shade that I didn't try that did swatch beautifully is Better Society. That is their Celestial Glitter shade. Of course, since we had the glitter palette, I just wasn't necessary for me to try it, but it did swatch beautiful. There's a few different shimmer formulas, but there's one more of a creamy shimmer formula as opposed to more of a powder-based formula. And those applied really well with the brush. I was very surprised. Usually those apply best with a finger, but very impressed with how they applied with the brush. So they probably apply like 100 times better with a finger. Overall, really pigmented. The black worked great as an eyeliner shadow. And all of my European followers, you guys have been telling me how great NABLA is, how much you love their formula, and how excited you were to see me using their products. And you guys were right. This palette was nothing short of impressive. I highly recommend this if you're into this color story. It's a great neutral palette that's going to work great for you. It's very easy to use. It's very easy to blend and it's very pigmented. I think if you have a deep complexion as well, I know some people get mad at me when I comment on whether or not I think it's going to work on different complexions because I have only experience on my lighter complexion. So I can only speak for myself as of now, but I really do think these colors are so pigmented and they are going to show up on deeper complexions. If you do have a deeper complexion, I would love to hear your experience with this palette. So if you comment down below and tell me how it works for you, I will pin your comment to help others. And then also the glitter palette. I do have experience with this formula. I really do love their glitter formulas. Now I know pressed glitter is not everybody's cup of tea. So of course, if you're not into pressed glitters, stand clear of it. You don't need it. But if you are into pressed glitters, I really love their formula. I feel like their glitters don't travel. You get full opacity with swatches, which is a really difficult thing to do with pressed glitters. Way better than color pops formula, in my opinion. And I still will mess around with the color pop press glitter every now and then. But NABLA is definitely a top notch pressed glitter formula. I love the different dimension that you get because of the sizes of the glitters. And I really don't find that I get too much fallout from these and they just apply so gorgeous. So if you are into pressed glitters, I think this is a really gorgeous, neutral glitter palette. So this one is also a great formula. I highly recommend that as well, if you're into glitter. All right, so let's finally get into the lip liners. Now, like I said, the lip liners are not available on the Ulta website, but they are available on the NABLA website. So you get six different shades of nudes. Now, they don't have specific names. It's nude one, nude two, nude three, moving all the way down to six. Now, if you look at my hand, I do have all six swatches down my hand starting from one, ending at six. The lip liner that I am currently wearing is number three, which is a medium warm nude and it was absolutely gorgeous. For reference, I also applied NABLA's lipstick and lust and then NABLA Shine Theory lip gloss and champagne supernova, which I thought was the gorgeous with the glitters on my eye. But as far as formulation goes, wow, this is a very creamy lip liner. Just for reference, these have an 18 months shelf life are also made in Italy and I'm going to assume are cruelty free and vegan doesn't say on the actual pencil itself. Now, the actual component is very simple. You have a gold top and then a gold bottom and then the color is going to be on the packaging as well. It is a lip pencil that can be sharpened. The texture of these are extremely creamy. They go on very smooth. I'm not opposed to a nice waxy formula of lip pencils, but I will say for those of you that like a creamy lip formula, these are very, very creamy and it blended very well in with the lipstick so you can blend this in with other formulas as well. So let's quickly go over the shades if you weren't sure what shade you wanted. By the way, these are going to run about 10 US dollars. So nude one is going to be a light neutral rosy nude. Nude two is going to be a light medium nude beige. Nude three is a medium warm nude. Nude four is a medium brick nude. Nude five is a medium dark warm nude. And nude six is a warm dark nude. And if you were talking as far as inclusivity, I do think we could have had some colors in between the bottom two. But for the most part, I really like the range of nudes that they have here. I like how they have different tones. Now, these aren't two different in depth. For the most part, it's the undertone that's going to be different. Probably nude number two and nude number three are the colors that I would see myself using the most. But if you like more pinky, definitely go with nude number four or nude number one. Polar tones are nude number two and nude number three. And then of course deeper complexions, nude number five and six are going to be really good. So I will have to update you as far as the wear time on these lip liners, but they're very creamy and very easy to apply. And I do love a good nude lip liner. So I am going to recommend these. I think they are a very fair price. And if there's a color that stands out to you, I do think they're worth picking up. So overall, you guys, that about sums it up for today's video. It's pretty quick review, I feel like, for covering all three items. But I absolutely love this collection. I definitely am a huge NABLA fan. Now they really have proved themselves with the products that I've tried. I most especially am impressed with this side by side palette. I just think the mattes are phenomenal. Not only are they pigmented, but they also blend beautifully. And the shimmers in here are also quite wonderful, but I just can't go over these neutral mattes. We all need good neutral mattes in our life. And I feel like this palette really does cover all your bases. So if you are on the market for a good neutral palette, that's going to be very versatile. It's going to last you a lot of times. You have a lot of options. This is a really good one. I'm glad they came out with this basic palette because they did it well. So that is all I have for today's video. I hope you guys enjoyed it. If you aren't subscribed to my channel already, I would absolutely love it if you would consider taking the time to do so. And I will see you guys in the next one. Bye, guys. Have a good one.
