Maybelline Nudes Of New York Luomiväripaletti 18 g

I was excited to get The Blushed Nudes as I’m in my 40’s but love Maybelline products and knew these lovely shadows would work well for a light, quick eye or a more dramatic one based on the occasion. I opened it and there was no applicator inside. Bummed me out but ok. The first time using it I realized the pigment was very light and once it was on there was a lot of fallout. It didn’t look like I had any color on my eyes, no color adhered. The colors are beautiful but no lasting pigment and very loose and dusty in consistency almost. Too bad.

No applicator? Seriously? That’s the one thing eye makeup should include for sanitary reasons. Saying it was removed for “less plastic use” is ridiculous when the entire product is still packaged in plastic. Paying $10–$15 for eyeshadow with no applicator is absurd. Very disappointing — I’ll be returning this. I’ve been a loyal customer for years, but this is beyond frustrating.

I have bought this palette three times, as I love the colors, however I have noticed that the shadows have became hard, chalky, and patchy. The first time I bought it, they weren't like that. Considering that Maybelline and urban decay are owned by the same company, I can only guess that urban decay has the same quality. Please reformulate this to be better!!!

Great for beginners. Not pigmented enough for professional bold makeup looks. For day to day looks though its great.

This used to be my favorite drugstore palette, I've had it for many, many years! Today, I finally decided to replace it --- but with Maybelline's soaring prices, it's no longer worth the value, so I decided not to. I purchased my palette when this was about half the price. I hope Maybelline realizes that it has very strong competition and fixes their pricing.
