17 All About Nude Palette Review | Glam Radar

by Maria · May 27, 2014

Well I didn’t mean to have that break this week.  I totally underestimated how busy and tired I would be, getting back to school and working as well so I’ll have to be super organised from now on if I’m going to be able to keep up any sort of regular posting. Here is my review 17 All About Nude Palette !

Anyway, I’m getting sorted now and I have lots of ideas for posts so let’s get started.

I was shopping last weekend and picked up a new 17 powder and blusher (I can never resist a new blusher-post to come) which meant that I could pick up the All About Nude palette for free.  Now I hadn’t seen this before I got it, there weren’t any open on the stand, but I thought it was worth trying out as I can’t remember the last time I felt let down by a 17 product.  

Here’s what you get.

The goodies inside. The top 2 are eyeshadows- Funfair and Walnut Pearl, the blusher is bottom left and on the bottom right there’s Belle lipstick which is one of the 17 Mirror Shines which I already have and love.

Swatchesof Funfair, Walnut Pearl, the nameless cream blusher and Belle. I’m really impressed with this little palette.  The eyeshadows are both really soft and pigmented as well.  As you know from reading this blog you know that creating stunning looks with eye shadow is just not something I can do.  I love that both of these shades can be worn on their own, as a wash of colour, which is my preferred method of using eye shadow. The blusher isn’t as pigmented as the other products but it’s a pretty shade and I can see why it’s been included- it would suit most people.  It’s a cream formula and more shimmery than I usually like in a blush but because it’s sheer, the shimmer isn’t over powering.  That said, it’ll probably get a bit neglected compared to the other products in the palette. I love the Belle and as with all Mirror Shines, it’s more like a gloss than a lipstick.   This won’t stay on my lips for hours but it’s a stunning shade and a real “my lips ut better” one for me. As you can see from the above swatches the shades are all very neutral (but then I wasn’t expecting neons, it is called All About Nude after all) so the “look” that I created is hardly going to rock your socks but here you go. 17-all-about-nude-palette5 See, very wearable.  And as I only wear neutral shades to school, I can see this palette getting a lot of wear.  Not bad for a palette that I got for free.  It’s also a real plus point that the lipstick and blusher can both be applied with fingers, as I did here, so you can use it on the go.  To be fair I’d apply a quick wash of colour with one of the eye shadows with my finger tip too, which makes it a great palette to have in my bag when I’m away and want to pack light.  It’s all the colour cosmetics that I need.

Have you picked up the All About Nude palette?  What do you think of it?
