 Who's ready to play with some eyeshadow today? I'm gonna be reviewing the semi-new melt cosmetics at side Zodiac Collection today. I ordered these a couple of weeks ago. I've had so many reviews back to back to back to back This is like the last set of products on standby for me to do a review on so There was a lot all of the launches came at the same time, but I really was very excited for these They launched four palettes. I did only pick up three the one that I left out was the fire palettes I just I couldn't be bothered with another orange palette. I really couldn't The other color stories I felt like okay I'm ready to bring on another one of those color stories But the orange couldn't be bothered. These are 38 dollars each which very affordable for melt But still 38 dollars nonetheless so left out the fire, but I do have the other three the format in which I'm gonna do these today Is I'm gonna have time stamps and we'll swatch and then do a look with each palette major details about these palettes They are available on the melt cosmetics website as well as Sephora, which is where I picked them up They are a limited edition. These are a melt cosmetics holiday release. I prefer melt holiday release last year I thought it was a bit more extravagant, but these have a plus side which I'll talk about in a moment and what is Interesting kind of silly about these will make some different from other zodiac palettes, which very dated concept But anyways, these are the bad side zodiac palettes So these are themed around the negative traits of each zodiac sign and I'm not really into zodiacs like that All I know is that I'm a tourist But it says, you know the bad traits so the names are like harsh type a Stubborn over critical, which I think is it's cute. I actually really like that I didn't care less about zodiacs personally so the theme itself didn't catch my eye But anyways talking about the price point on these these are a pretty good price for melt melts It's kind of up there in price, but you get less product So that's the catch here less product, but still less money So that's personally what I prefer somebody who has a lot of eyeshadows in my collection I prefer just to have less product honestly and I feel like with makeup trends changing and how long eyeshadows last I think most people would prefer less product less money. So I'm actually very happy about this There's eight grams of product in each palette and each palette is made in Italy, which is awesome I mean last thing to note about all of these just generally speaking There are eight eyeshadows and they are quite small honestly these look like color pop palettes to me They feel nicer than a color pop palette packaging wise. They're a little bit more sturdy heavy-duty Have some heft to them, but they are cardboard and because of these small circles These look like they could be a color pop palette, but they do feel a little better made So I don't know I saw these and I was like I was not expecting these to be this small especially since I feel like Generally melt palettes are bigger. Now I used to having an itty bitty little mouth palette Which I think is awesome for most people That's really great for travel get a good amount of color in a small packaging if you've never tried melt cosmetic shadows before Let's assume these are good quality These might be the way to go because they're the best price and they're not too big and clunky But anyways, that's all I have in terms of major details about these palettes I'm gonna have time stamps for working through each palette and let's just let's just get the colors on the eyes We're gonna start off with the palette that I am probably the least comfortable with which is the water palette So this one is the blue one. It's gonna be interesting for me to create a look with this Here's a look at the packaging it has kind of this soft matte touch to it It does come in a box It's just pretty much the same and then it tells you the Zodiac signs that this is based on and here's the palette It does have a mirror. It does not hold up on its own. Just FYI. Here's the color story I mean while I never loved blues and honestly when I wear blues I feel I look a little crazy blues are the prettiest to look at so this one has five mats and three Metallic shades. Let's go ahead and swatch these. I'm gonna start off with the top row and then the next row here Here's what they look like. I may have compared these to color pop, but already by touching them They're already better quality. So we have manipulative, which is a kind of champagne metallic Secretive that's gonna be our transition shade already. Just a beautiful muted light brown moody, which is a Shimmering turquoise. Gorgeous. I love this shade and then we have trust issues And this is a matte. Didn't swatch the best. Let's do another coat This is kind of like an aqua greenish blue shade. Very pretty. We're gonna get into the darker row down here next Here's what they look like. Ooh, I love the range that this palette has Literally shades from light to pretty deep dark. That's exciting. Emo is a matte Dark green. Not so watching amazing, but we'll see how they apply ugly crying It's a navy. Dead inside is this deep dark semi metallic It's almost just a shimmer here blue with a really dark black base color. That's gonna be cool for a smoky I don't know that we'll utilize that today and then possessive, which is just a dark brown This is a really well rounded bluish palette I feel like there's more green to it in person It looks a little bit more blue online, but super well-rounded lots of variety no repetitive shades Really happy with the colors that they picked for this eye shadow base I am using my Kaleidos tone activator and I don't have any concealer on which is why I look insanely tired Compared to the rest of my face which has makeup on just in case we get some fallout with this We have this beautiful transition shade right here secretive So let's put it in the crease little powdery. Just tap off the excess My gosh, I really like this shade not really with the blue colors Like I'd wear this shade alone or with a neutral palette love this shade for me It's the perfect one to two shades darker in the transition area. So I'm just gonna put a little bit We don't need too much. It's a blue palette. Let me not get too boring Let's head into trust issues with the refer number 13 brush and we're gonna start Putting this in the crease. I'm keeping it kind of low. We're not blending it up too much But I want to see if this is easy to work with you guys know blues can be difficult to work with it's not I mean, it's working out great. It's blending out great this brush as you can see it's not very fluffy So it's taking a little bit of extra work to blend but quality-wise this shade is doing exactly What I wanted to do. It's going where I tell it to go. It's not over blending It's keeping the opacity or just really nice quality and sometimes the melt just does an amazing job with their quality And then other times it's like a whole different company made it I'm going back into secretive that first brown shade just to blend that that was pretty darn effortless I wiped off my brush on a towel and let's try emo now and see what it looks like right next to this color And this one swatched a little funky. So I'm interested to see so I'm focusing this in the outer corner for now I am gonna blend it in the crease a little bit more But I just want to get this place down in here and then with whatever is left on my brush Bring it in so this has a little bit more blue to it compared to trust issues I wish I had a wee bit more depth just for this look not necessarily to improve the palette It's fine in the palette I'm going back into trust issues Which is the lighter shade and I'm gonna use that to see if we can blend a little bit more with blues I'm very careful not to over blend because I don't want to look like I got punched in the face You know, there's some shades where you can blend out all you want It's gonna look great, but with blues gotta blend a little bit more intentionally. It's looking good beautiful blend I feel like trust issues blended a little bit better than emo, but gorgeous Let's do it ugly crying the need be and I'm gonna kind of wing it out using the same brush as you can see So we're changing up the shape a little bit with this nice is popping out against the other colors And then again to not over blend. I'm taking a clean brush Blending with intention just softening and I take this little wing part blend it inwards Let's see if we can get all three shimmers on the eyelid We're gonna start off with dead inside Which is this really dark shade that pretty much to be black and I'm gonna start it off along the lower Lashline outer part and then blend it up. So this is adding some depth Oh, yeah, if you put this all over the lid, you'd get an insane smokey eye I'm not quite bold for that right now since we have other colors to test, but you can see the shimmers there We got a little bit of fallout, but very very pretty. Let's try Moody now. This is gonna brighten everything up. These shimmers are beautiful. Look at that with a brush Very impressive I'm taking a pencil brush into manipulative I want a pencil brush because my eyes are small So I need a small brush to just fit in this inner corner Oh, I just love all three of the shimmers in here I'm gonna take a brush and we're gonna blend out the edges of each of the shimmers particularly the dark one I got a little bit of fallout, but nothing that's upsetting me I'm gonna put on a little bit of concealer real quick with this look It's so good not to toot my own horn, but I'm into it So I'm gonna start off with a trust issues on the lower lash line using that refer number 13 brush That has been harrying this whole look then we're gonna deepen with a bit of emo and this is going out a half way And here you can really see the differences of that color and the one we just used and of course we have to use ugly crying With the pencil brush I'm going into manipulative and want that to go in the inner third of the eye and then in the middle We have to have some of Moody and I'm Reblending in a little bit of ugly crying liner and lashes and we'll see the final look all right guys So I was scared I'm scared of blue, but I stinking love this look I use the Maybelline tattoo studio in this shade arctic skies in the waterline And then I use the ugly crying shade the dark navy as my liner at the top This is so pretty I mean this is a really high quality blue palette and I love the versatility of this palette because everything is like Different tones and different depths So you have a lot of range with the types of looks that you can create you can go really dark and smoky You can go bright and light This is everything that I personally would want a blue palette to be so I'm really happy with this I'm happy ended up picking it up I almost didn't because I was like Morgan you never wear blue palettes and you hate yourself in blue But this look is stunning and it was so easy to do so if you were interested this one is amazing Since I did blue let's do a purple on this eye The next palette that I have is the air palette now this one, you know, it's right up my alley I had to get it. It's a purpley palette. Why would I not? So that's the back and here is the inside so at the top We have kind of more pinky peach and then the bottom we have the pops of purple So I guess it's not as purple as it seems right, but we're definitely going to get a look that I love So let's go ahead and swatch these same situation and these also have five mats and three shimmers So here are the first four shades and this top row right here just looks like a true peachy pinky palette So we have frivolous, which is a metallic peach shade very pretty You can see how good these shimmers are then we have indecisive, which is a matte midtone peach Ghosted well, this one's a little bit more of an orangey peach You can see these mats don't swatch amazing, but they apply really great and then two faced, which is a pinky peach Metallic very very pretty getting into the bottom row now, which is definitely more my speed though This purple is really deep. I wish this had like a lighter lilac shade I guess it does right here But like a mixture between these two right mind games is a plum flaky is a dark metallic purple Cheesemosa is a Very poorly swatching Midtone matte purple and then reckless is a very very light whitish lilac I'm going into cheesemosa again to see if we can improve that I am not surprised this is swatching bad shades like these are really really hard for brands to formulate They normally act a little funky. So this is the air palette It's really cute. I'm so in love with the blue. I think I like the blue better than this, believe it or not Well, let's go ahead and apply this to the eye getting the primer down So we're going to start off with ghosted right here, which is a matte peachy shade And I'll applying this to the inner half of the crease and blend it kind of high This is a bk beauty to a one brush So blend her kind of high nice It has some color to it would be really pretty as a blush if you want to do that Then we're going to see how ghosted is. Wait, did I just use indecisive or ghosted? Do these look the same? Did I use the same shade? Okay. Anyways, I'm putting ghosted right here Decisive in the inner corner or whatever. I just did they kind of look the same ghosted is a little bit more orange Sigma e24 and we're going to do a lot with this shade since it swatched so bad We're just going to make sure she's in the clear. She's okay quality So we're going to pat this in the outer corner to start. Okay, so far so good We are going to meet the first two colors in the crease once we're ready to blend them out This is a sigma e24 blending in Beautifully with the inner corner shades I'm going to take a little bit of ghosted on the first brush that I used I'm just going to use that to blend out the edges Of the purple. I want to kind of bring this ring around a little bit It'll create a little bit more cohesion in the look. Yeah, I'm having very little trouble blending this It's not blending like butter per se But it's definitely good enough especially for a purple like this and it built up enough depth I actually want to take it a little bit further onto the lid We'll let that one have a bit of a bigger moment, you know That's stunning taking a bk beauty a 502 brush. We're going into mind games, which is the dark purple And i'm putting this in the outer corner and then i'm getting it close to the lash line as well I love a lot of depth right here. I found it very flattering for my eye shape cleaning off the same brush And working on blending that out. Wow, this adds a lot of depth I really like this palette too these matte shades I mean laid down the foundation for this look. You can see how beautifully blended it is How much depth we have the colors that they chose for this once again So well curated. Listen, I was expecting for me to not be blown away by these palettes I was expecting for them to be good, but like something you can get from color pop. These are Super nice. I am heavily shocked. I'm going into cheese mosa again. I just want to bring out that lighter purple I don't want it to be hiding underneath the navy. We're going to go into flaky next, which is the dark metallic purple I think ideally if I weren't reviewing this I probably wouldn't use this just yet for this look because I kind of like the matte But we got to test it out. So i'm putting that right over top the center of the lid It's very pretty. I'm going to push it back as well towards the Dark plum so this shade you can get a little bit of fallout with but it still is very nice It doesn't have the craziest amount of shimmer to it. But again, if you like a smoky eye, this is perfect I'm taking this random sigma brush And let's do a little bit of two-face like just a tiny bit because my eye is so small And I'm just gonna Like that make that noise when you apply it as well. If that's pretty I mean the shimmers in here super pigmented will apply any way you want them to wiping off the brush And let's apply frivolous, which is a little bit lighter Well, yeah, this could be used as like a highlight shade like right here as well, you know Take a pencil brush I have to see what reckless is like because this is almost like a duo chrome shade So i'm applying this right to the inner corner I'm getting it on the tip of the brush. This is a refer number three And i'm almost going to create kind of like a faux cut crease with this and have it running right over top Just to give that extra bit of brightness when the sun will hit I could do this over again if you're recreating this look I'd go less in the dark shimmery purple flaky so that more of the peach would show through But it's still really pretty. Let me pop on some Concealer clean up and then we'll do the lower lash line together. I'm taking some of ghosted now I'm gonna run this along the entire lash line looking up while I do it I have to be very careful because i'm not setting with powder on my under eyes Because i'm taking this makeup right off cheese masa We're going to keep the purple pretty far back on the lower lash line I want more of the peachy-ness to show through on the lower lash line to kind of compensate for how much The purple took over back on the upper part of the eye and then we're going into mind games the dark plum Morphe pencil brush we're going into two faced putting that in the center of the lower lash line See I tell myself not to put too much shimmers on the lower lash line, but I just I love the gleam I love the glow and then finally some of frivolous That's gonna brighten things up down here and we used every single shade in this palette once again a success Bliner and lashes one moment. Here's the final look with the air palette once again Really really stunning. I think I like the blue palette a little bit more. I like the color story a little more I know this is the purply palette, but it's it's more pinky than I thought it was That'd be nonetheless It's a gorgeous palette gorgeous color story gorgeous quality. Don't have anything bad to say whatsoever Just preference wise I had a little bit more fun with the water palette But if you like this look you like the vibes of the color story I have nothing bad to say and I'm really sad because I have to take these off now to play with the last palette I think I'm gonna take a break and just walk around with this and feel myself And then we'll get to the last palette. So I will see you guys very soon. But yeah, both of these palettes I'm feeling real good about these. All right, let's get into what I think I wouldn't call it the most wearable but this one's giving me total fall vibes the earth palette And this one I am a tourist. Um, like I said, I don't really know much about zodiac signs It's somewhat true. I suppose anyways, there's what the palette looks like how pretty is this fall, right? I like how these are more cool tones and neutral down here But then you have crazy uh gold pops and this green I think we can do something fun and unique with this, but let's swatch it I already know the gold's gonna be like Wham bam pow. Yeah, right? Okay part of stone Oh, not a good swatch Oh, oh no bad ugly. Okay. Yeah way harsh Sheer over critical Hey pretty Know it all a nice metallic shade So yeah, the matte mattiers do swatch really sheer but that green we got to do something with that RBF. Oh, this shade has me written all over it for neutral every day kind of look Oh, yeah, look at this This is right up my alley RBF has some warmth to it Some matte orange a little bit more brownish though materialistic is a metallic brown That swatch was incredible type a a dark maroon and then stubborn is kind of a cool gray Ooh the mattes in here swatched horribly Okay, let me put these on one eye since this is the last palette I have to work with and we'll do the look together Alrighty, it's time for the last look which you can see We got all the fall vibes from so if you are looking for a fall palette This is it. I'm actually gonna skip the first color that I use on this eye, which was stubborn It's just too cool for the look that I want today I want the crease colors to be a bit brighter, but I did use this. It's good quality So in case you were curious I'm going into way harsh, which is this really cool kind of dirty mustard And I'm going to apply this to the inner half of the crease and you can see it is showing up great It's not too transparent or anything like that. We're gonna blend this applied great no issues blinked beauty e3 and we're going into RBF Which I think looks more neutral in the pan But it really is quite orange on the eyelid. We're gonna blend that I'm gonna go ahead and apply this all over the lower lash line as well So this is a pretty typical warm setup for me I like an orange in the outer corner and a yellow in the inner corner Okay, then we're going into heart of stone, which you guys saw how horribly it swatched applies great So it's just one of those shades, you know, like look at this. It's actually because it swatches here It's a buildable formula I think it makes it a little bit easier to work with a little bit easier to blend out So yeah, those horrible swatches really meant nothing in the grand scheme of this palette because look at this I mean, it's pigmented. It's blending nice. I'm putting this in the outer corner And I'm cleaning off my brush because I did get a little bit too much product on there And I'm going to blend this and you can get a lot of depth with this shade It's really nice with a pencil brush I'm going into type a and I was just testing this it really doesn't go with this look so well But this is going on the inner part of the lower lash line and it's going to give a fun Kind of a smoky effect to the look, right? But again, it wasn't really something that I was too focused on. I'm taking a sigma Dream eye perfecter and we're going into no at all Which is this copper shade and this is going Oops wrong side to go in between the center of the lid So we're going to have the lighter gold color on the inner corner and this is going to blend into the green Which it did a great job of sometimes when you use a shimmer and a matte next to each other It can look really misplaced and not good. It won't blend in with one another These do fine even though they aren't even that close in color and to kind of aid that go use the brush that you Apply the green with just blend them and it looks fine Then I'm taking a small lid brush and we're going into over critical Which is the gold shade right here and I'm applying this to the inner corner. You can see it's very very pigmented It has a really nice Gleam to it gorgeous quality. I mean nothing more needs to be said about these palettes They really are gorgeous and putting just a little bit down here to brighten that up and then go through Reapply whatever you feel like was kind of hidden. I know you're like Morgan. What is this mask? I'm just going to take my concealer brush and we're just going to clean up and then that's it It's as simple as that see so much better now for eyeliner. We're going to use two different eyeshadows I'm going to start off with the heart of stone, which is the dark green And this is going to be the liner on the outer half of the eye And you're not going to be able to see too much definition with the green since we have it in the outer corner That's fine. We're just kind of getting a little bit of depth and smokiness Near the lash line wipe off the brush And then we're going into type a just because I wanted to see more of this color It didn't get much use and I'm going to press it against the lash line again Not really adding too much not getting a really precise line Just adding that little bit of smoke in the inner corner so that lashes will look good here Picks up great. Then we did get a little bit of fallout from using these as liner But that's it with the eyeshadow So I'm going to clean up underneath here put on lashes and we have a gorgeous fall look So this one else great as well. I mean this look is incredible as well. It really brings out my eye color I had such a lovely experience with all three of these palettes I don't know that I have a favorite I would say the one that surprised me the most was the water I was really happy with how the blue turns out and I just feel like it's such a well rounded palette I mean this palette that I have on my eyes is Totally a must have for fall if you're looking for a new palette And I think my least favorite surprisingly was the air, but it's still amazing I guess it's someone that surprised me the only I don't know. I don't know I think all three of them are equally as good. I'd imagine the fire one is good as well I just didn't need those colors in my collection Not that I needed these, but you know, I wasn't excited about it. I didn't want to spend my money on it Then I mean melt did a fantastic job with these palettes If you are looking to try melt for the first time, these are really really nice And they are more on the affordable side. So if you didn't want to pick up one of their big palettes This is great If anything, I feel like this one might be a little bit better quality I had no issues today whatsoever And I think all three of the looks that I did today were absolutely Stunning. So I am beaming after this video. What a successful review I can't believe it took me so long I'm sorry for first of all calling you color pop Because you are much better than color pop quality and I like color pop quality But these are like high quality shadows I'm sorry for making you guys wait on this review because turn out it was really really good So I hope you guys enjoyed this video and you found it helpful If you aren't subscribed to my channel already make sure you go ahead and do that I review a bunch of new makeup that comes out and I'll catch you guys in the next one.
