 we have yet another shopper drop because the holiday makeup leaks are coming in strong so we're going to be talking about the newest hooda beauty launch which is going to be her very anticipated yearly big palette i'm really excited to talk about this i would also like to add that there is a whole collection that is launching but i am so uninterested that in this video i literally pretended everything else didn't exist so everything besides the palette is a drop what do we have highlighter mascara a lip set okay so this is all about the palette but i did want to acknowledge that there is a collection anyways onward we go tomorrow there will be a makeup review coming so if you're tired of the shopping drops i will have in hand the nars blush palette so keep an eye out for that review tomorrow but i've learned i really love just talking about makeup talking about the launches on the market and talking it through with you guys see what questions you have what you want to see from me so anyways today hooda beauty revealed her empowered eyeshadow palette now there is a waitlist if you want to sign up early for that i will have it linked down below i've seen this palette before it was leaked a little earlier but hooda takes it seriously when her products get leaked before she reveals it so i definitely wanted to wait until she came out and showed the palette i've watched her youtube video which you can also see on her instagram page but let's take a look at it together so i am getting this from her instagram page and this is the first promo pic that she has of the empowered eyeshadow palette you can see she has a beautiful gold on her eyelid and then here's the palette here don't worry we will get a closer look at the colors but i was trying to decide if this palette is cool or warm right because this side of the palette very cool smoky this side of the palette is quite warm hooda loves her warm peachy matte shades base shades transition shades which i'm a little tired of from her but she likes it it is her brand after all so she does stick true to that okay so let's go watch the launch video that she has on her page together so here's the packaging we have her eyes again and then you know there's a deeper meaning to the palette itself not as nice as the previous year's packaging i mean these are the last couple of years look at that last year's stunning i believe the year before that was naughty kind of boring and then the year before that mercury retrograde was pretty nice this one seems kind of plain jane compared to that i'm a gal who cares about packaging so you might not be but i am okay let's continue watching oh that was fast but there's some cream shadows that's what she's watching this is a short video there's not much to this one that one has chrome flakes that's a matte here's another one of the shimmer she talked about and then her dang matte peachy shades okay i'm gonna pause at a few points when we get here i want to talk about that shadow oh that looks pretty wow hmm yeah this is such a really really nice that's one of the cream shadows so anyways there's 18 eyeshadows in here and there's some interesting formulas that she put in that she does a lot with these palettes so there's two cream shades that she used as eyeliners there's one kind of gel and eyeshadow hybrid to give kind of a glossy look to the eyelids there is a shade with chrome flakes so this is one of the cream shades this is just one of her regular metallics i believe this shade has the chrome flakes in it yeah you can see right here sorry the big play button but okay you go on to her instagram there will be this video here she has that which is a shade with the gold flakes on her eyelids which looks really amazing so now that we've seen the palette i'm gonna hop on over to trend mode one because we have the best visuals here that i can give you my thoughts on here's the palette here's a look i don't really like the packaging that's fine whatever as i said had a tough time deciding if this was a cool tone palette or a warm tone palette it's definitely kind of split in half here this you can definitely do within her own line these we gotta talk about so let's talk about the different formulas so this palette itself by the way is going to be 67 she's not cheap this is always a big ticket item i think in the beauty industry when it comes to holiday makeup i buy them every year which by the way i will be shopping this of course i'm always really excited about these so there are two gel hybrid eyeliner shadows which is going to be purpose and worthy right here i saw in her tutorial and they looked a little sheer they didn't look like they could have the pigmentation of a true eyeliner but definitely check out that tutorial if you want to see an action she also said they make a great base shade so keep that in mind kind of copying patrick tall here with the cream shades i'm not mad at it but i don't really use the ones in the patrick tall so i don't know how often i'm getting used these we'll have to see how they work as an eyeliner when she used them in her tutorial she used these with a powder shadow on top to kind of set it there also is two high shine wet metallics i'm not sure exactly which one they are going to be i think maybe this one is it and this i don't know we'll see two of those one crushed flaked gold which i think is either limitless or christmas definitely one of the golds so it has literal gold flakes in there which is going to add some texture and dimension to the lid i'm excited to try that out two powder metallics and then nine powdered mats so there's a lot of mats in here and one of the shades that's really interesting i don't know what the other one is but she said that this was a hybrid between a gel and just a regular eye shadow so it creates kind of a glossy sticky look to the lid i'm not sure where the other one is because it says there's i believe two of these maybe but that's what she said in her video she expressed that this one is different but this one looks kind of crazy right here right because overall opinions on the color story right i like it but i'm a bit underwhelmed because i feel like she's really came in the last three years and killed it with these palettes last year was probably my all-time favorite rose quartz right here it's cool toned it's mauve it's beautiful and then the year before that was naughty which was very different for her brand because it was just such a gorgeous rich palette i definitely see some similarities between this one and the one that's coming out this year so that's something that i think looks similar and then three years ago she came out with mercury retrograde which is also probably one of my all-time favorites completely the opposite of this new empowered palette i feel like she normally goes a little crazy with these so since i just loved rose quartz and mercury retrograde so much i was hoping she would go there a little bit more this one is definitely more safe i would say right because it kind of has some resemblance to bronze palette from natasha denona right you can kind of see a resemblance minus the purples if we threw some purples in here they would look pretty close this side of the palette right here i thought looked a lot like the wild jaguar palette that just launched which is a little bit more on the cooler tone side i feel like this potentially could be doable i'm not quite so sure yet there's just some palettes that hooda has that when they come out and this is very far in between they look different than what she's ever launched but the majority of the palette she's launched especially recently i feel like i look at and then i can kind of literally dupe within online i feel like i might be able to dupe this one but i'm not 100 sure it's like kind of edging repetitive but i'm not sure yet this is something i want to get my hands on but just based on the last three years i'm am a little underwhelmed as of now my opinion could always change in person i don't think it's a bad color story i think it is gorgeous it looks nice and rich for the holidays looks like a color story i really enjoy but i've just been blown away by the last three years that i don't know if this one is going to blow me away i like it though but we'll see you know how your opinion changes once you see it in person so the next photo that we have are some arm swatches so you can see them on different skin tones though these are normally highly edited so just keep that in mind but you can see here's one of the cream shades and then all of the shimmers that look absolutely stunning i mean it looks good right this i guess is more so of the cooler side and this is going to be more so of the warm side there's just so many matte oranges and peaches i know she loves it i understand it is her brand but i have so many in my collection here's one of the promo pics that's highly edited so we can't see much the packaging here's a good picture i'm really interested to see how this bold moves looks and this looks like one of her cream powder shades i don't really like those those marvel shades that much i mean that's all we have i don't even know when it's launching early november right or towards the end of september there is not yet an actual date so i am not completely sure on that but i definitely think that this is going to be a solid in the middle palette unless i buy this in person and the formulas absolutely blow me away i'm just not as excited as i was for last year's that's my problem rose quartz was just one of the best palettes to have launched from her brand ever and this one i don't know i feel like this one's going to be really good on medium to deep complexions you're going to get some gorgeous rich looks for this but i don't know if it's just outside of the box enough she spoiled us the last three years and gave us something different and fun and of course we had the best quality because these are the best quality palettes they are made in italy they are better than her little obsessions palettes but she really can't stay away from purple and orange those are her favorite color combinations and i don't know what i was expecting from her this year i didn't have really any expectations i just wanted to see what she would come up with because she does a beautiful job in these color curations i wish we had something a wee bit more fun but i can see this as a palette potentially that i will reach for a lot so overall i will be shopping this palette it is a huge launch for the holiday season these reviews normally end up getting some of the most views that i get for reviews so i definitely know that you want to see my thoughts on it so i decided to do a shopper drop on this because it is such a highly anticipated review on my channel and i 100% will be picking it up but let's take a step back if i was not a makeup reviewer i do not think i would pick this up this is definitely something that i would wait for a review before i decide so that i can see comparisons swatches and if it's something that i'm going to use especially when huda plays with her new formulas sometimes they turn out to be dads and since there are three new formulas in this palette within five shades i definitely would hold off unless it's a color story that you're dying for for me it's not a color story that i'm dying for so that's why i would wait but that's why i'm here to review it for you so let me know down below your thoughts on this palette are you into it are you not into it and what questions do you have for me to answer in my review would you like to see me compare this to any specific palettes let me know this is half of the reason why i like to do these shopper drops i want to know what you want to know how can i best serve you anyways i hope you guys enjoyed this quick little shopper drop like i said tomorrow we will have makeup in hand for a good old makeup review and let's keep this holiday launches coming brands i'm having so much fun make sure you guys like this video and are
