So I bought the Gwen Stefani shadow palette a little while ago and I'm just now able to play with it! Before I begin, who else has this? Do you love it or hate it? I'm a UD hoarder so I just had to have it. I also couldn't stop taking pictures of it, so.....yea. =)
I don't know why but I just love the packaging on this palette. It's simple, it makes a statement, and you can definitely tell what palette it is without having to second guess yourself,
Here are just a few of my favorite shots of this palette. Like I said, I went a little crazy but I love the combination of colors in here. You've got everything from soft neutrals to bold metallic shades to smokey eye madness!
I love this. The end. <3
The palette also came with a sample card of 4 shades of lipstick. I still haven't bought any of the lipsticks yet. I'm afraid that by the time I am ready, they'll be all gone!
Here begins swatch central! I took it one row at a time since each seemed to have a theme to it. The top row is the soft neutrals. It's got everything you need for the most natural eye look possible.
The second row is more of your smokey eye row. Again, pretty neutral with a little added drama.
The third row is full of the colorful metallics and the super dark smoke color.
I will say that, per usual, I am happy with the performance of the shadows. They are so smooth - the colorful shades do have a little bit of grit to them, but that's to be expected with these types of colors and I really don't mind it.
Are you impressed? A Gwen fan? A UD fan? If you haven't gotten it, here are a few places you can get it from:
- Sephora | Also, use Ebates to get at least 4% back on your purchase! Totally worth it!
- Nordstrom
- Macy's
Happy shopping, folks! Come back and tell me how you liked it!

I'm in love with the packaging as well! Danger is such a gorgeous shade of blue.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great eye shadow palette.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a beautiful looking palette but it isn't a must have for me since I have so many neutrals already, and I know I wouldn't use the blue or the gold that's a bit too yellow for me. But it's so classy looking
ReplyDeleteI am not crazy over it but Danger is my most favorite color in the palette and it blends really well with other colors like Serious. For personal use, it is OK but I think you'd get more bang for your buck with a Viseart. I do love the lipsticks.
ReplyDeleteI love how Gwen was heavily involved at every step with creating these shades that she wears daily.
ReplyDeleteI love it, so wearable!
ReplyDeleteI'm like you - didn't need it but want won out. Your swatches are excellent.
ReplyDeleteVERY wearable. I almost wish they released this like the On The Run palette with a bold lip because i think alone, it doesn't remind me of Gwen but the lipsticks and shadows together definitely do!
ReplyDeleteI love your swatches, they're so neat!
ReplyDeleteSo glad I grabbed this palette!
ReplyDeleteI have this palette, it's more skewed towards cool-toned ladies but that's fine, I'm ok w/ it overall
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty. Mine is still untouched and sitting prettily on my vanity.
ReplyDeleteI have resisted buying this palette all this time and I'm glad I did... as much as I love Gwen and I know I would use it, I realized I wouldn't use it as much as I thought. But it's gorgeous for sure.
