3 stars out of 5

The Tarte Aspyn Ovard Eye & Cheek Palette ($39) is a new, limited edition eyeshadow and blush palette that was created in collaboration with youTuber Aspyn Ovard and it’s actually not as bad as you may have heard.

When Tarte originally started sharing promo images of this palette everyone, myself included, was excited about the idea of a cooler pink palette. The palette appeared to have an assortment of dusky pinks and rose golds. It looked like quite a lovely roundup of Spring shades. To this day the promo image on Tarte’s site is very misleading. It’s sort of shocking to actually see it in person as you feel as if you’ve been punk’d. I know when I walked into Ulta and saw it I was like:

What happened to the pretty dusky pinks and roses? Where’s the rose golds?! Needless to say it was a little shocking to be presented with a bunch of shades I already have a million times over from Tarte. Sad sigh. But that’s Tarte’s repertoire isn’t it? Same o’, same ‘o.

Milani Most Loved Mattes Eyeshadow Palette ($20) is a new eyeshadow palette that contains 12 silky matte eyeshadows which are some of the silkiest drugstore mattes I ever did try. I mean, let’s be honest for a second, a short time ago (like eight years or so ago) matte eyeshadow wasn’t exactly at the height of awesomeness. My first experience with a matte eyeshadow came in the form of an eyeshadow I purchased from Bobbi Brown. Holy cow it was dry as hell. I could not blend it to save my life! This was at least ten years ago or so. Not a lot has changed lately with Bobbi Brown but that’s a story for another day.

As for drugstore matte eyeshadow well, let’s just say that was a zone you did not enter unless you wanted to be sucked into the vortex of the Demogorgon. No seriously, drugstore mattes aren’t exactly friendly. They are typically dry, firm, chalky, or all three.

Milani Most Loved Mattes Eyeshadow Palette doesn’t suck you into that vortex, it just gifts you some some of the silkiest drugstore matte eyeshadows I’ve ever had the pleasure of trying.
