The new Nomad palette is SO pretty! I may break down and get it before holiday sales.

I think the fighter Palette will be back on Monolith with Launch 9 (10.9.) it is a shame that some Palettes are quickly sold out

Unearthly is releasing a redone version of the Fall Magic palette. I believe they're doing a pre-order now. It's mostly the same as the original, but a couple of shades are different. I have the same one as you, and I enjoy it a lot.

When I first got into indie shadows (living outside the US), I found my local brands so I didn’t have to pay international fees. The formulas are a lot more punchy than mainstream and there is a bit of a learning curve. I ended up buying some nicer eyeshadow brushes to be able to control the pigments better

I really wanted to get the cosmic brushes palette but customs has been around 60€ to ship from the UK to Spain, it's nuts. I would really like the Rogue palette, I'll try to get it from monolith but it's so difficult to find things in stock there 😔 love your selection as always 😊

[melissanaydelline]

I loved the concept of monolith and ordered at least 10 palettes from them. Unfortunately two palettes came broken and the first one they offered a €5 refund which was fine cause I could repress it in but the second time the entire palette was unusable and I was still offered €5. And I had to follow up multiple times and then they stopped responding. So unfortunately I’d rather just pass now and order directly from the site. (I’m also lucky I have family in the US)

Great brands! Unearthly remastered their Fall Magic palette which is available now for pre-order. I wonder what you think of the remastered one compared to the original? They also have a new palette called Sorcerous Smoke (very Halloween as well!) that's available now for pre-order too. I only have Not Normal but am curious about these new releases. I also immediately think of Ace Beaute's Oceanic when I think of a blue/green palette. I also have Tropical Vibes which is mostly grungy greens and Envy which is a smaller palette that's a mix of Oceanic and Tropical Vibes. All beautiful color stories!

Oh interesting- I didn’t like the look of the Kaleidos quads because of the fabric packaging (powder shadows plus fabric equals dirty fabric). I’ve only tried the Club Nebula from them so good to know that they can do neutrals just as well as colour!

[jessicahuynh]

Amanda just brought the fall magic palette back last week and its updated...waiting for my shipment..

[IasminB]

Omg Fall Magic is stunning! The EU shipping though :(

[daniellezadora]

Whats ur thoughts on the new natasha nude pallet?

[xmodnbm]

I really like indie palettes but the shipping is usually so expensive for me (im Swedish) 😔 Even Odens eye and Glossgods have pretty expensive shipping even though they are Swedish brands I dont think they ship from Sweden. (Edit: I think Glossgods have shanged their domestic shipping, but I do think Odens eye ship from Hongkong)
I saw you liked the Smoke and Mirrors palette, I also got it and felt like the shadows were a bit hit or miss, some were a little hard pressed and flaky for me but I generally like it. I just got the Flowing Haze and Sashimi city palettes from Kaleidos and like them a lot. Im very interested in the fighter palette from Fantasy cosmetica and the new one from Nomad like everyone else haha… my taste is pretty basic neutrals with pretty neutral colours. I do like to dabble in greens, purples, pinks and yellows though. I would like to have same blue shades in my collection and I think the Ghost town palette would be a good start. The other colours also looks right up my alley. Im also neutral-cool toned and I like muted colours usually 😊
Good tip about Glamshop, I havent heard about them before 👌🏼

[Brilliantnash]

Good selection of brands. The new Nomad, Ghost Town, USA, is a different colour story from Hunted Europe. I'm definitely going to get it as the Okawanga was also on my wishlist.

[supershark]

I love the Nomad palettes i have however the new one, the spooky one is exactly the same as the Nomad which i have so i won’t buy the new one.

[marlenegomes]

Monolith carries acebeaute and its reasonably priced given you don't pay for shipping in the eu. They also carry unhearthly. Im currently putting together a basket, what would you consider a good first unhearthly palette? ( fall magic in not available)

[dubsbeautydiary]

I haven’t tried many of these brands, but 👀👀
