THE BALM NUDE 'TUDE PALETTE REVIEW

Hey guys, i hope you have all had a great weekend! The other week i posted a "Beauty/Fashion Haul" where i shown a few items that i had been buying and i had quiet a few requests to review the Nude 'Tude eyeshadow palette by theBalm which i had shown. So since i got the palette i have been trying out so many different looks and just seeing how the shadows last/colour pay off/texture etc to tell you all what i think...

This is how the palette comes, it is packaged with a sliding box which you can just slide off to get to the actual palette and the design is the same on the outer packaging as it is on the product itself.

I love the whole design aspect of the packaging as it is quiet unique looking as most of theBalm products are. The palette is really light weight and compact/slim so it would fit into a travel/makeup bag really easily.

Once you open the palette it looks just like this, it comes with a mirror (which always comes in handy) and a mini double ended brush which if i am being completely honest i dislike as i pretty do with all brushes that come with palettes (except for the urban decay brushes). The palette consists of 12 shades (8 shimmer and 4 matte). The shadows are so pigmented it's crazy so a little goes a long way, they also blend really nice and easy. There is a little bit of fall out with the shadows but nothing too major that can't be wiped away and concealed afterwards. The palette retails for £26.50 (UK) and $36.00 (US). In my opinion it was worth every penny and i can't wait to try out some more products from their range.
