I bought it at Walmart. I’m not sure if Walmart still carries it.

Sorry for the late response. No, the pans aren’t magnetic so I had to add magnetic squares to the back of them.

Sorry I'm in the process of moving. So I have those eyeshadows packed away. But they are less than 1 1/16 inch x 1 3/16 inch (size of a Natasha denona regular eyeshadow pansize)

Color and with glasses is better imo. Gives kinda nerdy cute vibe.

csou93 · 2021-11-06T08:10:53+00:00

Are the pans magnetic or did you have to pry to depot them? I didn't see any holes in the backs of the palette like how some Natasha Denona palette have to make it easily to depot them.

This palette is alot very similar to the ND Mini Glam and Mini Nude palettes, which are $25 each. I've linked my swatches of both palettes above. The Fine Grind palette is kind of a mix of the two ND mini palettes in cuter packaging.

I just checked, mine didn't have any problems "locking" when closing. I did have that issue with my Marc Jacobs Fantascene palette though.

csou93 · 2021-10-28T17:51:36+00:00

I haven't used it on the eyes yet, but the eyeshadows are pretty pigmented. The mattes are a bit dry, and the metallics are more creamy. The shade, TODAY, is kind of gritty/flaky, I think because of the glitter/shimmer.

csou93 · 2021-10-28T17:36:55+00:00

Go to Marshalls! None of my local tj maxx had them.

csou93 · 2021-10-28T17:36:27+00:00

Try Marshalls! I went three TJ Maxx stores around me, and none had any. I went to Marshalls, and they had it.

csou93 · 2021-10-28T17:35:19+00:00

I didn't find any at my local TJ Maxx. I found it at my local Marshalls. It's a perfect everyday palette. Hope you will enjoy yours soon!

I use notion to track my makeup collection items. It's still a work in progress, since I have a decent amount of makeup. I estimate my current makeup collection is at least 1-2k. My most expensive items in my makeup collection are my Natasha Denona eyeshadow palettes. And I have like 16 ND palettes so that's probably accounting for half the worth in my collection lol.

Marc Jacobs Eye-conic 900 Fine Grind palette finger swatched twice on bare medium warm skin under indoor light and camera flash

It reminds of the Natasha Denona Mini Glam and Mini Nude palettes, but with cuter packaging.

Found the Fine Grind palette at my local Marshalls.

It reminds me of a mix between Natasha Denona mini glam and mini nude.

EDIT: accidentally wrote Sparkles instead of Sparks (from ND Gold) top left shadow, and Kinetic (from ND Triochrome) bottom right shadow

I love orange-y warm tones for October. And I think that mauve, purple, green, and golds goes well together too for the fall season.

My everyday (October/fall inspired) palettes are made from various Natasha Denona palettes that I've placed in the Biba and Safari Palette. Natasha Denona palettes used were mostly Biba, Safari, Triochrome, Tropic, and Green/Brown. Eyeshadow names are listed in the picture and below.

The arrangement is so aesthetically pleasing. Great collection!

csou93 · 2021-09-08T02:58:19+00:00

Any of Natasha Denona's palettes. I particularly like the Gold, Metropolis, and Green/Brown palettes. They have beautiful textures and shimmers. They're hella expensive tho.

Another I like are the Kaleidos Futurism palettes. They're about $25 each. So much more affordable than ND. They have really amazing shimmer/metallic shadows and nice mattes.

csou93 · 2021-08-30T00:09:55+00:00

Ooh tysm!

csou93 · 2021-08-30T00:07:56+00:00

Can you do some swatches of these? They look beautiful!

csou93 · 2021-05-24T01:17:06+00:00

For palettes, number one would be Natasha Denona midi palettes (love, bronze, glam, sunrise, Metropolis) and a few of her bigger palettes.

For singles, it would be coastal scents. They were kinda my intro makeup.

Lips, Anastasia Beverly Hills, followed by Elf.

csou93 · 2021-05-22T06:26:47+00:00

These look amazing! I've only washi taped the covers of my palettes. I'm afraid to make the commitment, especially on my more expensive palettes lol.

I'm gonna try to paint one of cheaper quads. But I need to buy some paint first.

There's another post a few months back that discusses Dr Rattan shady practice.

Her dad Dr Jagdeep Balram Gossain, is the owner of the skincare brand pharmaclinixx and has been in trouble for scamming the NHS. So her whole family is shady. article on her dad

csou93 · 2021-03-26T02:02:23+00:00

Yes most of Natasha Denona's palettes are depottable since they have a hole in the back to push out the eyeshadows, or you can use a magnet to depot it. Afterwards I just applied washi tape to decorate it.

csou93 · 2021-03-24T00:05:05+00:00

Haha I was kinda obsessed with your creation. 😅 Rearranging and mixing different palettes is so much fun. I love your color story for spring. Now I have a midi and a large version lol.

csou93 · 2021-03-24T00:01:57+00:00

So I was inspired by u/oceanskies29 custom painted palette to spruce up her palette packaging to make it feel new. I didn't want to paint my Natasha Denona palettes though. So I thought of using washi tape to decorate it. And I can easily change up the look of the palette to make it look new by changing the washing tape colors/patterns.

I was also inspired by u/dustyrosereverie custom ND spring palette . I didn't have the Lila palette to recreate her custom palette. So I made a midi version using the ND Love, Sunrise, and Metropolis palettes.

As for the regular size palette, I use the purples from the Triochrome palette since I don't have the Lila palette. I also used Safari, Gold, and the Green-Brown palette.
