 In her usual fashion, Beautylish delivered my Wengos order just lickety-split. Literally, like, I filmed a full coverage longwear sweat-proof makeup tutorial right before this and when I was like, oh, it's no surprise, there's my Beautylish order. I had to take off my eye makeup and since it was so full coverage, I had to redo my concealer and all that and now my face looks cakey. But it's worth it because I have to get this on the eyes as soon as possible. So I placed my order on Beautylish for the new Wengos Smoky Quartz eyeshadow palette as well as I got the little duo, so I also got the new Granite Eye Coal. I asked you guys because I almost didn't pick this up. This actually was one of the first Wengos items that the majority were like, I want you to review this and let me know if it's worth it. The interest on this seemed higher than usual, so that was my sign, I was like, I'm here, let's order it. So yeah, I mean, I'm interested, let's get into it. So I did end up picking up the Smoky Quartz bundle, which came with the eyeliner and the eyeshadow palette, $69 for that. But you can also just get the eyeshadow palette individually for $55, which is pricey, and the eye poll for $14, which I think is a very, very good price. So a lot of you guys wanted to see comparisons with pre-existing Wengos palettes and I'm here to give that to you. So let's take a look at the palette, shall we? Here's the box components that all of the palettes come in as per usual made in the USA, 24 month shelf life. If you need any information, I'm doing my muscle ledgers can see, but I'm sure you can't, sorry. And then the palette itself is going to come in the usual component. These components sometimes are very hard for me to open for some reason. Some of them get jammed, but this one is good. Like I can close it and open it easily. So my snap closure is not broken this time. You do have a mirror and then here is the palette. Now I will say looking at the photos online, the colors look a little richer online than they do in person. They have a little bit more of a gray turn to them in person, which I actually like. I think the gray turn to it makes it look more different than the rest of the palettes that Wengos has. I will say just like this definitely looks like more of a warm chocolate brown online. This is definitely more gray and cool toned. This looks more dark and brown. This is more gray. This looks darker. This one is cooler in person. This one is a little bit lighter in person and again more cool. This is pretty close. A little bit more gray. Yeah. It's more cool in person than it looks online. Same style, same everything. Let's get to swatching, shall we? Yes, yes, let's do it. So we're going to start off with the lovely bone shade. So we have four mats, one shimmer and one celestial shade. Okay, nice. They feel good. I like this. The shimmer shade I feel like doesn't give off too much reflux. It's definitely more subtle. If you're not familiar with my personal thoughts on previous palettes from Wengos, I find them to be a bit inconsistent, which is why I was unsure if I wanted this. I just don't always have the best experiences, but they feel pretty good. Look at that beautiful shade. Okay, this shade I was worried. I feel like it had potential to be patchy, but this palette definitely looks promising. Boring nonetheless. I mean, boring sounds to me to say, but wearable for the everyday woman, neutral, all of that. Okay, let's put it on the eyes. Actually no, I like. Let's do some comparisons. If you guys don't know, I have COVID right now and I sat in yesterday's video. I feel good, but I'm trying to keep my videos short and sweet while I am healing just so I don't get too tired. So here is the comparison between the original Imperial Topaz and Smoky Quartz, totally different if you ask me. I was worried that these two would look similar, but side by side, you can see the comparison. Yeah, warm, cool. Totally different if you have that one. Also ignore my nails. I'm telling you to ignore everything. Just ignore this video. Ignore my nails. Can't get them done right now. This one's kind of close though, right? This is the Termaline Palette, which I know I didn't love the Termaline Palette, right? Little close-ish. Let me swatch them. Let me do side by sides. Here's the side by side. So if you aren't one to notice minute differences in between palettes, if you have the Termaline, I don't know that you need Smoky Quartz. Smoky Quartz is a little bit more neutral. It definitely is a little bit of that 90s cooler tone, but very minimally because you'll notice, okay, the Celestial and the New Palette's so much better. This one is all hard-panned and whatnot. These two shades are similar, very close actually. One in the Termaline is just shimmery. This is a little bit more warm up here, much more cooler and shimmery, but like different, but similar in terms of where you put what on what eye, and there's only going to be very slight tonal difference and maybe like finish differences. I'm going to leave that up to you, but yeah, those were the two compared. I think overall though, my assumption is going to be that Smoky Quartz is going to look cooler on the eye. So it changes that overall image. So let's see. Let's put her on. Also, I almost didn't mention this, but I figured I would. Wengoss does have a cool tone palette, his roster, but they ain't close, so you don't have to worry about that. Okay, let's get this on the eyes. I'm going to do one eye and I'll be back. Wengoss in this video said you're supposed to be able to get these like 90s inspired Smoky eyes. Oh my gosh, it was so easy to get that kind of look. I do think that kind of 90s style Smoky eye can be intimidating to create and you might not know where to start. I mean, great selection of colors for this. And now seeing this on the eyes, it's a lot different than the way Termaline looks on the eyes in my opinion. So yeah, this is good. So I'm going to start off with a Sigma Diffuse blend and we're going to go into the bone shade. This is very, very subtle. As you can see, it just does a nice job of diffusing the eyelid, which I think the finish on this is so pretty because, you know, Wengoss is big about this looking good on any age. And I think the finish of this powder is so beautiful on mature skin because it blurs the eyelid. So with this bone shade, just put it all over, especially those of you who have mature eyelids. Last 17 brush, we're going into the shade right here. If you have a skin tone similar to mine, this is such a beautiful transition shade. And I like this palette. I think it gives you a good amount of depth. And if you want more depth, you can grab a black in any other palette and you can kind of mix the shades. But I like the depth levels in this palette as well. I'm going to go ahead and take that shade and just fuse it on the lower lash line. I don't need any precision, really, since it is a smoky look. So it's okay for me to use a bigger brush in this sense. Very pretty BK Beauty A502. And we're going in this shade right here. The shade is interesting because it looks like in some lighting that it can pool warm, but it really doesn't. There's a little bit of kickback. There was with the Topi shade that we used as well, but nothing crazy. And again, it has kind of that blurring finish to it. I don't know, has all of his eyeshadows had a finish like that? I feel like this is the first time that I'm truly noticing it. I think I'm noticing it because my face just looks drier from taking on my base products that I explained earlier. But yeah, I mean, I'm seeing now more than ever how this is so appropriate for many ages. I'm going to go ahead with that shade and again, layer it. This brush is a little smaller, so it's not going to go quite as low. And I noticed with some Wengoss palettes in the past, some patchiness. I didn't get any patchiness today. The shade that I was giving the ultimate test for patchiness was this one right here. This is an Alomar Cosmetics Detailed Diffuser Brush. And I'm very happy to report no patchiness with this shade. Just a beautiful blend. I am very pleased with this palette. I'm telling you right now, I think it is a beautiful palette. I think it is so easy to create a look with this palette. The shadows kind of work themselves out. This palette to me feels a little bit more elevated than his palettes in the past. I really like the Pearl Palette. I actually have that in my makeup kit. But just with these types of shades, I've noticed from his brand in the past, there's a couple that I felt were patchy and difficult to work with. So good. This one is an Esum W21. We're going in with the shade right here. So this has a very subtle reflect to it. Honestly, it could almost pass as a matte shade. It's a satin matte hybrid really. There is a little bit of reflex, but I mean, at least in makeup school, they taught me reflective shades might not be the best for mature eyelids. So this is a really great finish where you can blend it all over the crease and it's still not going to look bad. But to me, as somebody who likes shimmers, it is a little underwhelming. So if you like reflective shades like me, this shade underwhelming, but it does completely change the tone of the look. It has much more gray in it. So I feel like it made the look more of that 90s smoky eye. So even though I would like for it to be more reflective, I think it holds a place in this palette. I was worried that it wouldn't. I was unsure that I would enjoy this and that it would have a purpose in this palette. But it really does. It instantly made the look more 90s and smoky right there, putting that all over the lid. I'm also going to take it on a small Morphe E36 brush. And I'm going to keep this tight to the lash line. And then finally on my finger, I'm taking some of the Celestial shade. I would say this one is a little bit more sparkly and some other Celestial shades I have from him. I like that. It doesn't feel like it's going to get hard panned as easily. And the glitters are a little bit bigger in this, maybe a little bit chunkier and messy. But I prefer this. I think this is super pretty. Definitely out there. You don't need to use this if you're not into this kind of look. But I think it's a really high quality Celestial formula. And again, it feels elevated from his previous palettes. I don't know why, but this palette is just hitting me right today. You have the easiest smoky eye with this. The ease of use is reminding me a lot of Tom Ford with this palette. Just how the shadows kind of blended themselves. That's one of my favorite things about Tom Ford. You pop three shades on the lid and you have a look that is blurred and beautiful and looks like you spent hours blending. That is how I'm feeling. This is giving me ease of Tom Ford. So dang, I like this palette. This is a good one. I am very impressed. And I don't know if you can see, but it blurred the eyelids, which indicates to me that this is going to be phenomenal for mature eyelids. So if you like this kind of look, you're looking for the easy 90 smoky eye. This is going to give it to you. Okay. I like this one. Now let's go into the essential eye cool in the shade Granite. I have a couple other colors of this eye cool. I really like it. I think it's a very fair price. It's $14. So let's see. I mean made in Czech Republic has a 24 month shelf life. It comes in the same packaging. Let's see the swatch here. I'm excited about this and I wanted to pick this up because I do not have an eye cool or an eye pencil this color. It's like a really dark gray. So let's see. I'm going to just run this along the lash line. I don't know if you can see, but there is a little bit of tug along the lash line. Nothing crazy, but something to note. I'm taking a Morphe brush and kind of smudging and smoothing the lash line. Really interesting. I would say comparing it to the Jones road, the best pencil, that's their name. The Jones road is a little bit smoother across the eyelid because it's almost more powdery. This has a little bit more creaminess to it. So it's kind of grabbing onto the skin a little bit, but it blended out nice, but it's also drying down really nice as well. So I like this for a cool pencil. And I think this is really cool with the palette itself. Like what a cool sultry kind of combo. I'm going to run this along the waterline. And again, I'm going to blend this out. And it's blending out on the lower lash line. So nice. I don't know that I would use this pencil to get a smooth line across the lash line or anything. This is working best when blended. I just think it's holding its color enough so it's not over blending, but it still is creamy enough that you can kind of guide where and how you want it to look. Then you get this really easy, smoky eyeliner. So I like this. I mean, I think $14 is definitely an appropriate price for this. And I like it because I don't have a color like this. So let me put on some lashes and I'll be back to give you my final thoughts on this. So here's how we are looking. I mean, I think this is just the most effortless, beautiful, smoky eye. And now that I have lashes and all of that on, I'm really feeling what I did with the liner and smudging it out. Okay, I'm really, really, really early like this palette. I mean, I'm going to tell you now $55, as always, with Wingos' palettes. They are expensive. You get a lot of product, but you only get six shades. So you have to really like the shades and know that you're going to use this palette a lot in order to justify that price, if that's something that you're concerned about. But I can tell you now, I'm really into the quality of this palette. I love the overall look that you get with this palette. I don't want to go as far to say it's a unique palette, but I mean, there's so many warm palettes on the market today. I think this is just a really great, effortless, smoky eye palette. Lots of characteristics similar to Tom Ford, if you ask me in this one, and it just gives a effortless, a blurred, simple, smoky, okay, how many times can I say that? So I'm really, really sold on this palette. This is one of my favorites from his line, definitely. And I'm really feeling the granite eye call as well, because I don't own any eyeliner pencils in this color. And having it smudged out with this palette, I do not regret buying the combo of these two at all, because chefs kiss. So overall, yeah, I really, really like this palette. I really, really love this look. As always though, I am going to continue to use this more, so stay tuned, because I do do a monthly rankings video of all the palettes that I've tried, and this one is being added to that. But mm, okay, anyways. Thank you guys for watching this video and being subscribed to my channel. And I will catch you in the next video tomorrow. Bye guys, have a good one.
