 Hi guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. So for today's video I have the two newest Natasha Denona products to be reviewing for you guys today her new Golden products the mini gold and the glow gold face highlighting palette So if you are interested in hearing my thoughts on these two new products, then just keep watching This is I think my third Natasha Denona review video in a row She obviously is coming out with a lot of products in a short period of time Which can be a little bit annoying. However, I really like the direction her brand is going in as far as the products She is releasing. I know a lot of you are as big of Natasha Denona fans as I am So I've taken the personal liberty to purchase all of these and review them for you guys just because I want to let You know what's up and what's good? So obviously today I have the new mini gold eyeshadow palette to review for you as well as the Glow gold face highlighting duo I am going to start off with the eyeshadow palette because that is personally what I was more excited about in this launch So this is currently available online on the Sephora website. It will be available on the 26 in-store set Sephora I typically purchase my Natasha Denona products from Sephora or Beauty Lish I find the Natasha Denona website to have really slow and expensive shipping. That's most of the time not worth it This is not currently available on the Beauty Lish website So right now Sephora is the only place you can purchase it unless you get it from the Natasha Denona website So this palette is limited edition and it is $25 the same as all of her other mini eyeshadow palettes If you are familiar with the price range of Natasha Denona eyeshadow palettes $25 seems like a super great deal because you know Her eyeshadow palettes are like a hundred dollars onwards and they're just really really pricey So $25 to be able to get five eyeshadows seems much more palatable I'm always a big proponent of paying less for less product because I have so much product in my collection That none of my products ever get fully used So I always feel a little bit better when I buy mini versions of products So I do want to mention the value of this palette itself because I have mentioned this in the past But if you've never seen my videos, I quickly want to talk about it So I'm going to compare the value of this to her regular five pan eyeshadow palettes, which are the full size So just so you are aware her full-size eyeshadow palettes for five pans are $48 so 25 versus 48 This is a little bit over half of the price the amount of ounces per eyeshadow pan in this palette is 0.028 Ounces okay, so just remember that 0.028 ounces a single pan in her full-size eyeshadow palette is 0.08 ounces so you are getting almost Three times the amount of product that's in the full-size palette But you're only getting even less than half off So if you're a value kind of person this is off It's definitely not as good of a value, which is pretty typical with miniature products That's just kind of how it works, but yeah, you're getting like nothing it seems in this palette So I did just want to mention that to you guys if you weren't aware She has like midi eyeshadow palettes, which are exactly like half the value for half the product Which I commend her for doing but that isn't the case with this palette So she does have palettes where she wasn't drinking, you know, no shortcuts It literally was cut in half or half the product this not the case so okay Let's get into the more interesting stuff now about the actual palette. So like I said, it's limited edition I believe it's only exclusive to Sephora anyways So it is described as a mini eyeshadow palette featuring gold and green hues in matte shimmer and duo chrome finishes The packaging of it is super tiny and cute. I love these guys. I love the packaging of them I like that it's gold. It's plastic. So it's nothing super special. No magnetic closure or anything I like the packaging. I love being able to see the front and then you are getting five shades on the inside Obviously very green and gold hues if you love green golds This is the perfect palette for you A lot of times I haven't been excited for her mini palettes because the colors didn't speak to me And they also do have a reputation for being inconsistent in the formula and just not as good as her regular full-size formula Which is totally true I have a few of her other mini eyeshadow palettes and they are not the same formula as her regular full-size formula So I'm always curious to see if this is gonna be good or not taking a deeper look into this palette Like I said, it is the perfect green gold palette. I've been obsessed with the green Goldie kind of looks I've created a lot of looks like the one that I'm wearing to be honest already I've done this look before every time a palette has these types of colors I go for that section of the palette. So this was one that I was super excited for color story-wise So you are getting two mattes one shimmer and two duo chromes in here The duo chromes one is very green and the other one is a little bit more of a brown green You have an olive matte shade a light tan matte shade and the shimmer is just kind of like a deep brown shimmer I definitely think a brown was necessary in this palette though. I don't really like the shimmer version of it I would have referred a matte brown, but that's just my personal opinion. I feel like that would make it easier to create looks I don't think there's anything wrong with it But if I were to personally redesign this palette I would turn this either matte or I would do a super dark olive forest green and the duo chromes shimmer formulas Absolutely killing it. So let's talk about the formulation quality all that stuff I'm gonna say it right here right now great formula I really think Natasha has listened to her customers in so many aspects She has improved all of her products that have come out recently So for a while her brand was turning a little bit iffy very inconsistent things just not as good And she's really turned it around and brought it back to that great Natasha to know the quality that she was originally known for If you're worried about quality This is very good quality the shimmers and duo chromes in particular because I do have a few complaints about the mattes Yes, these duo chromes are insane. They feel super creamy super wet They're super metallic super easy to apply and now what I have to complain about the mattes are is they don't really show up as much as I would like I feel like if you have a deeper skin tone these mattes definitely are not going to show up on you at all Whereas these shades are just so amazing and formula and I have no complaints about them these two shades They're nice. I belt them up on my eye. It took a little bit of work, but they're pretty I like the shade but when I swatched this it showed up much more rich and then when I applied it to my eye It took a lot of building up So just be aware that this is more sheer than you would expect because I do have a lighter skin tone I do still really like it But I'm just saying if you have medium to deep skin tones that the colors probably not worth it And especially this color as well This color is even more lighter than the green shade but that being said this one didn't swatch rich Which doesn't make it a bad shadow I think it's okay that this wasn't rich But the fact that you have two shades that kind of lack a little bit is a little bit disappointing They're not bad. They blend out good. They don't get patchy It's just I don't think that these two shades catered to deeper skin tones because I didn't mind them But but the fact that they didn't show up on me I'm just saying because usually her mattes don't have that kind of problem They're still super creamy and that great texture, but overall quality-wise really good definitely follow her formula Normally it's her matte formula. That's always been good consistently throughout these and the shimmer formulas have been not so good But in here super good really like this of course I used it to create this look today So I started off with the lightest tan shade right here And I applied that to the inner part of my crease and as you can see it is very sheer, but it's a pretty color It's a great transition shade Then I went in with this green khaki olive color and I applied that to the outer corner of my crease As you can see it did take some building up I do think it's a really pretty color in this palette the metallics are what really stand out So I didn't mind that being more sheer because if I was to grab for this palette It's not gonna be for the match. It's gonna be for these amazing duo chrome shimmers So I don't mind it because I want the shimmers to be the star of the show Anyways, I then went in with this darker duo chrome color right here It's kind of a brown dark green shift and I applied it with my fingers to the center of my eyelid Really pretty it catches the light It's not one of those weird duo chrome colors where all of a sudden it just loses what's special about it on the lid And it becomes one ugly muddy color It is really gorgeous It has a really pretty sheen to it and then I went in with the brighter green gold the shade That's the most exciting if you ask me it's super metallic. It looks very foiled It's definitely that special pop shade in this palette. It can get a little bit crumbly if you apply it with a brush I would definitely just recommend applying it with a finger to get that really pretty glow But this is the perfect green gold shade really stunning and then I went in with that shimmery dark color to my outer corner Just to add some more depth to the eye like I said, I would have preferred this color to be matte But honestly, it's fine. It defines the eye it continues with that whole shimmer eye look So I do like it. It's really creamy and pigmented and on my lower lash line I just use the khaki shade on the inner part of my lower lash line And then I went in with the shimmery dark color on the outer portion of my lower lash line And that is how I got this look right here. I'll come back with my final thoughts about this in a few moments Let's go over the glow gold duo So when I went to order this for some reason I thought this was one of her minis, but it's not it's a full size So this is $42. So that was a little bit more than I was expecting I thought it was a mini one because the eyeshadow is mini so I thought it was only going to be $19 But that is not the case. This was $42 just wasn't expecting that this again is available online at Sephora It will also be available on the 26th, but this is also available at Beautylish So if you are a Beautylish order, I'll put the link down for you to pick this up if you are interested So this is also limited edition and it is described as a cheek and highlighting duo with two gold Highlighters and it says it's supposed to be good for every skin tone create a sparkly golden glow Look one warm gold in the super glow formula and the other in a golden sparkling diamond powder So she has two different formulas in here, but hold on. I'm getting ahead of myself Let's talk about the packaging same packaging as kind of like her blushes and her other Highlighters where it's really simple. It's really pretty and gold and I don't know It just feels like a very well made sturdy packaging and it has a really giant mirror the packaging of the eyeshadow palette It's cheap. This is not this is like nice packaging. I really like it I feel very comfortable traveling with it and then you open it up and you have two Super golden face highlighters in here and at first and I opened this I was a little bit scared because I mean deep Golds like this. They look so good on medium to deep skin tones and not so much fair people like myself So I opened it up and I was like, oh, I'm having fenty trophy wife flashbacks, which was a bad situation So but in here you are getting two different formulas You have her super glow formula, which is the darker color right here, which is her regular highlighting formula I have that in multiple other face palettes that I have from her which I really do like It's a little bit more pigmented. I guess you would say compared to the other formula in here Which is the diamond powder now the diamond powder is supposed to be used typically as a topper There's never much of a pigmented base to it. It's just micro fine glitters in a highlighter when you touch it It's really slick. It's not creamy So it's not one of those formulas where you dig in and you pull up a bunch of product You feel like you're picking up nothing and when you swatch it It's more so about the effect and not about the color really unique formula It's just the way it feels it's super different and also while I'll mention it the super glow also It's a little bit more slippery. You definitely get way more product But this is not a super creamy kind of feeling formula like her eyeshadows So I'll admit I was scared when applying this It's just it's not colors that are made for my skin tone before natasha on her page She'll use it on all types of different skin tones, but for the everyday woman Deep skin tones you will love this color now if you do not like glitter highlights run far away from this I almost was a little bit disappointed because I didn't get a golden glow If you look on the photo online, she's just golden and it looks so smooth on the skin And it looks like it's part of her skin, but just really golden That's not the case of this. So I started off with applying the super glow color right here And of course, I thought it was going to be super scary on me because it looks way too deep for me And I could make it work. It is very gold, but it wasn't necessarily Unf flattering or completely not my shade But I don't like it because it just doesn't look like it melts into the skin It looks a little bit chunky if you ask me and a little bit Separated so you can kind of see it sitting on top of the skin And I couldn't really seem to blend it in so not loving how it looks on my skin And then I did go in on top with the diamond powder, which I like her diamond powder formula I don't love it and that on top just kind of adds to the glitteriness Now it is a super fine glitter and it has to be a look that you are going for So it's not a bad thing that it glitters like that is what it claims to do and it's really pretty So I actually really prefer this over this because to be honest, this one is really kind of glittery Like it's chunky. It's more glittery than this one, which is disappointing I wish this was more of a glow and less glittery and this did all of the glitter work So if you can't tell honestly, I don't really think I like this I just look kind of glittery right now and I don't have anything against glittery highlights I was just expecting something different because it does look different online and the way it was advertised It's something different as well. So if you like glitter highlights, this is great I would say overall this is more of like a glitter topper kind of highlighter because I would like something that adds More of a glow from within and then I like to add something more glittery on top and I just don't really like this. I think it would be really pretty on the eyes I use the diamond glow in my inner corners, which is really pretty and using this all over the lid Like this is great for fall and the holidays I did also compare it to the fenty trophy wife because that is definitely what it reminded me of What I did find when swatching is that the trophy wife is way more yellow Whereas this is more of a deeper kind of gold the glitters are very similar The trophy wife is a little bit more shiny with these two together The effect is very similar as far as the texture and glitter goes But the color is slightly more yellow here. Let's talk about my overall thoughts of these two products Let's start off with the eyeshadow palette. I really like it. I think the greens in here are a very trendy color So a lot of people are excited about this. I liked that. I felt like this was different from her other palette Because the mini ones she's pulled colors from the big ones and put them in the mini ones This one I feel like is actually different. So it was a worthwhile Addition to my collection. So I do really like this again This is a great way if you don't have natasha denona eyeshadows and you want to try out the formula I think this is worth picking up for sure. This is not a dud at all I really like this and I really like the colors in here the glow gold for me personally not my favorite product I personally cannot recommend this especially for somebody with a lighter skin tone like myself I definitely don't think I'll be reaching for this very often I don't love the formula of this and it's just particularly in this palette because I do like the super glow formula And I do like the diamond powder formula, but something about this just isn't working for me It's just too glittery. It looks like it's sitting on my skin for myself personally on my light skin tone It's just not as flattering as it could be if it was more champagne I think I would like it a little bit more but that being said this would be great on medium to deep skin tones If you do like that more glittery kind of finish on the highlight area So you could really do something fun with this. This is a great like evening going out palette on medium to deep skin tones But this just isn't for me. So I was disappointed in this one So we have one hint and one miss in this video. It's a very balanced video And that's all I have on that. So let me know your thoughts down below about these two new products I think I'm getting sick. I've been struggling this whole video with my throat hurting Make sure you stay tuned and subscribe to my channel for some new holiday releases that are to come for the next few months This is my favorite time in the makeup industry So I'm really excited about the videos that I'm gonna bring to you guys Thank you guys for all of your support.
