I skipped out on the ND and went straight for SG. Mel’s bundle was so much better imho.:Bonus points for supporting the family!

I added a beautiful coral single to my Sydney Grace In Mel’s Memory bundle. I prefer it to the deep metallic pink. It adds a beautiful touch to the look.
I do own both palettes.
Everyone has their own vision…😊

I went with the In Mel's Memory bundle. I love that it supports Mel's family, and there's just more variety. Plus my sensitive eyes prefer the talc-free SG formula.

I love both brands! I really love Natasha's palette a bit more since it's great for work shifts. 💛 Thank you for the comparisons. :)

I got the 6 shades from the Mel's bundle when they were $3.50.
Mattes: Payton's Puppy & Fairytale
Pressed Pigments: Blushed, Golden Rose, Rover, & Commission

I feel like some of the shades arent my colors, but if I had the money to waste, I wouldve bought the entire bundle to support Mel's family. As it is, I wish I had bought a few more shades, but 6 is all I had room for without buying buying a new palette. I'm also still trying & learning what eyeshadow colors I can wear, so I like to buy a small amount at a time in different colors to prevent buying a bunch of mistake shadows.

Thank you for the detailed comparison. I went back and forth on which would fit my preference more and after watching many reviews for NDs palette, I'm confident I'm going the SG route! Also the bonus of proceeds going to Mel's family. I am still so inspired by her videos and techniques. ❤️

I ordered the bundle few days ago with some other shades. I didn't want to wait for Black Friday bc I thought maybe the bundle wouldn't be available anymore. I'm super excited to try Sydney Grace!

[LeanneGonsalves]

I 💯 agree that the Sydney Grace shimmers are more impactful than Natasha Denona’s!!

[BratDani]

I just love your vibe ! Just subscribed 💖 i ordered my in Mel’s memory “palette” and can’t wait to compare it to the ND palette myself once it comes in the mail.
You killed this video 🤩 also I adore your look

[sashybeauty]

If I had to choose one, I would for sure pick the Sydney Grace Mel’s Memory Bundle. I love the variety and the shimmers look better. I love Natasha Denona and that palette is cute but it could have been better. I’m happy to see the packaging improvement too! It looks really nice. I hope she keeps making them like that. I love the comparison swatches! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I was hoping you would make this video too! Thank you! 🥰🤗💚💚

I love the Sydney grace palette so much more! I do love Natasha but for that price point it’s def not what I was expecting

[michellerocco]

Omgosh 🙏 Thank 😉 you ❤️ SO so much for this AWESOME VIDEO Awwww RIP Mel and Absolutely Love MY Sydney Grace Sis!! Happy Thanksgiving 😊 😃 love your way Blessings 🙌🏼 🙏 ✨️ ❤️

[LeanneGonsalves]

I have NEVER clicked so quickly on a video!!

[CarolynNichole]

I appreciate your review on these! I think I'll probably just buy the mini Retro at some point, since I still don't have that 😂

[FitChickGlows]

GUurrrlll! I haven’t finished watching your video and I had to comment. I bought it and haven’t used it yet BUT I have to call it the Neopolitan icecream palette! 😜😂 Because that’s ALL she wrote. That’s all you can get out of it. The greens are the same hue (color) just different tones (shades) of it. And the pinks have the exact same issue. So the greens all meld into one and same with the pinks. So basically Neopolitan icecream, girl. Why Natasha did that and didn’t think this through is a perplexity to me. Lolol! 😂 I know I’m going to feel frustrated using it. Wanting it to do more as it’s so cute but not being able to get range. It has already frustrated me enough just by viewing these videos that I actually created my own singles version to satisfy myself. All I can say is that Natasha had a missed opportunity in taking some cues from beautiful gifted and very missed Mel. 💚💕💚💕💚💕
P.S. I will be finishing watching your video after work. 😉😄

Thank you for comparing these two palettes. You did a great job showing and explaining the differences between the two. I got the ND palette during the VIB sale. I am happy with it because I prefer light and mid-toned shades. I pair it with Kulfi’s new green eyeliner - in addition to being a true green, it stays put and it doesn’t irritate my super sensitive eyes. I do think that “glam” should not be in the name - it should just be “Retro” (as a complement to the original’s “Mini Retro” name). And I definitely agree that ND should stop adding “Glam.” Thanks again!

[itserinnnnnnnnnnnn]

I find Natasha Denona to be severely over hyped. Her mattes and cream to powders are good but shimmers are what gets me excited and Natasha’s are disappointing most of the time. Too many satiny metallics, not enough shine for me. I’ve stopped wasting my money on her palettes. Definitely plan on getting Mel’s bundle.

[taramisu]

I didn't order the full bundle but have several of the shades from this bundle and will probably grab Cadet from the BF sale. I am a huge SG fan and more or less gone have back to singles instead of palettes so my singles collection is growing. I cannot use ND shadows as they are not vegan so I cannot comment on her formula, but I don't find any of her palettes or color stories interesting to begin with. I am trying to figure out what I am missing but I just don't get the hype. Good video and nice eye look!

[donnareed]

I’m a ND fan but I returned this palette and ordered SG the reason I returned it is because the shades just don’t work for my deep complexion. Like I said I’m a ND fan I have most of her palettes but this one like the pastel just didn’t work for me.

Since your in the comparison mood 😂. How does the undertones from the greens in the Natasha Denona compare to the profusion harvest palette. Like the shade willow in that palette? And/or the glamlite mikayla paht two 10 pan sage green shade? Just curious. Cuz I’m not 100% sold on those tones of green on my skin tone.
