Urban Decay Petite Heat Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Urban Decay Petite Heat Palette ($29) is a new all matte eyeshadow palette inspired by the original Urban Decay Heat Eyeshadow Palette that launched last Summer. I consider Petite Heat a companion piece to the original palette since I thought it would contain a good deal of transitional shades that the original lacked.
I think most of a agree that the main issue with the Heat Eyeshadow Palette was the fact that many of the colors were gorgeous but also difficult to use together since they didn’t provide much contrast and they ran all together. I consider Petite Heat quite a nice source of shades that will compliment ones in that palette however, there’s not a lot of newness here and some of the prime real estate in the palette is taken over by two lighter highlighting shades.
Let’s take a closer look at my review and swatches below.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette ($42) is the brand’s latest 14 pan eyeshadow palette that launched recently for the Spring 2018 season on their website and will later in March be available at Sephora, Ulta, and Macy’s.
I realize some people are groaning agony about another nude palette but purchasing this for myself was a no brainer as I love all the shades in it. To me it’s a desert rose selection of shades that reminds me of the recently released Huda Beauty Desert Dusk Eyeshadow Palette. It’s not that colors at all resemble each other it’s just that there are certain shades here that remind me of the desert at dusk which was the idea behind Huda’s palette. There are some very pretty dusky mauve roses here combined with sultry browns, shimmering golds, browns, and peaches. If you glance it at quickly the colors just jive together beautifully but there are a few odd shades here that you might question like Orange Soda which is a light matte peach. But somehow, someway, the shades just work together and I honestly had no trouble thinking up ways to combine the shades into a look.
The shadows are a range of mostly matte and softly pressed metallics and light iridescent shades. For the most part though matte does dominate here but I’m fine with that as they make a nice base and start to your look and with the metallics and iridescent shades a lovely compliment that can you can come in with later to finish off your look.
