Sephora Moonshadow Baked Eyeshadow Palette: In the Tropics/ Review &Swatches | TheMakeupDiaries


Hey guys! So today I'm gonna review this palette by Sephora called In The Tropics. There are 10 baked eyeshadows in the palette. The palette is definitely not a neutrals palette as it varies from a green, to a copper, to purples to shimmery golds and silvers. This palette retails for $32.00 (Found here.)
My opinion on the palette:
You definitely need to wet the shadows before you apply them as they're more pigmented if they are foiled. So if you are going to use them, wet your eye shadow brush first and use a stiff eyeshadow brush. To be quite honest, this palette isn't worth the $32 price tag, but if you happen to get this as a gift (like I did) or get sent it, it's a fun palette to experiment with. I especially like the shades Peru (deep emerald green with gold flecks), Belize (copper), Grenada (royal purple), Bermuda (light soft purple) and Martinique (golden yellow). There are no matte shades, so there isn't any transition colours. I wouldn't recommend this palette to someone looking for an everyday palette with versatile shades. I would however, recommend this to someone who wanted more colour in their collection and is willing to spend the $32 on it.
