It is commonly known that once you try a Natasha Denona Palette, you are indeed hooked for life. Her eyeshadow palettes are legendary and although a bit of an investment, they are every bit worth the spend. I personally like them because they have a lot of colours within the palletes and are catered to a theme so it's easy to see which ones will appeal to you.
This is, however, the first integrated face palette that I own from Natasha but as soon as I saw this pop-up on my Instagram feed I just knew it was one that I wanted to own.

I love this new size palette as it is slightly smaller than the usual larger eyeshadow palettes. I think this will be a hit with those that like to carry make-up or like smaller all-in-one palettes for travelling and the mirror is still a really good size. Visually, inside and out, it is stunning and obviously being rose gold it was a given that I was going to love it. I love the practicality inside and the special dedicated cover for the face products. It's a perfect weight being not too light and flimsy but not heavy and as always I love the magnetic closing.

Performance ...
The Blush is a star of the show for me being a stunning soft, pink shade with a velvety cream texture; it's simply gorgeous! It melts into your skin to give the most natural rosy glow and combined with the highlight is simply magic. Speaking of which, the Highlight also has a hybrid cream-powder texture with an intense glow with a fine shimmer. The champagne shade is the perfect tone and not too intense but you can build it up to suit. Natashas textures really are fantastic.
The Eyeshadows here are my perfect, go-to neutral tones. I love a warm neutral and this is the perfect in-between to universally flatter many skin tones. The combination of shades really is the perfect everyday Glam. The shadows are highly pigmented so the colour payoff is fantastic, with zero fall out and they take minimal effort to blend. They are soft, smooth, hydrating and the pressed pigments are nice and rich and blend beautifully into the skin. The shimmers use chroma crystals and luminous mineral pearls to make them super wearable whatever the occasion. Because these shadows all have such a great texture, this makes them very flattering on mature skins too who maybe avoid anything too shimmery.
I also ordered her Macro-Tech Eyeliner Crayon in Brown as I love a dark brown liner as it's a lot softer than a harsh black. I have to say this may be one of the best eyeliners I've ever used. It is strongly pigmented, very easy to blend and smudge out, long-wearing and smudge-proof on the eye. I love that it is a really strong brown so you still get that definition at the root of the lashes but in a sexier, soft way. I think I could well be ordering a few more shades of these.

Thoughts ...
I did not expect to love this palette as much as I do, in fact, I'm debating buying the darker version too! I just love how this has everything for an effortless Glam look and the quality is outstanding. The labelling of the shades makes this such an easy palette to navigate hence anyone will be able to create a gorgeous look with this. It is your neutral lover's dream, an ideal bridal look .... and made for anyone wanting a really soft, seamless, pretty and beautiful everyday look. That's me!
My advice; if you were debating buying this palette, do it. It is a decision you will certainly not regret.
