***** SKIN TYPE ETC. *****
I am 38 and my skin is pretty "normal" with no dryness or particular oily areas. I do have early signs of aging like fine lines/texture, as well as some sun damage and REDNESS!
I don't use fake tan, but I get very tan naturally in the summer as I have an olive undertone so my face is often a LOT lighter than my body, because I keep my face very well protected to keep my melasma under control and signs of aging at bay!

It just looks so much warmer than the promo photo. It's beautiful but I was so hoping for more cool mattes.

[Marina-vd]

With that hair flowing from the fan!!!! Absolute queen!!!

[ratgirl]

I like the mini palettes—I’m all about the mini everything beauty—I can actually use them up before it expires—and gives me baseball cards collecting vibes.

You look fabulous—the colors totally vibe with you and you look glamorous—party ready!

[Cicelyize]

Those tones melt seamlessly with your skin and hair colour. No wonder you like it, suits you perfectly!

[shannonevans]

Love that it's not as pinky mauve as the promo photos. Thanks Charlotte!

[TJonesable]

thanks for pointing out which pallets the shadows are in. had this in my cart for Sephora sale, but I have those pallets. now I'll replace the mini with something else I don't need. 😂😂

[phyllidaacworth]

I was pleased to find it's more neutral than I expected

[elizabethprestoncisneros]

I got mine yesterday and was surprised. It looks very different than the photos online. I thought it had more of a cool tone with more of a pink. I still like it but it is not what was advertised!

[lesliehatch-herman]

I’m surprised, but pleasantly so! I’ve had enough with the rosy stuff—this will be a beautiful neutral-ish palette! I’ve ordered it and am waiting (impatiently) for delivery. Thanks for showing us her to us-she will be very well-loved 😊❤

[mapleleaf]

I’m in the pleasantly surprised camp. I like the look of this one quite a lot. The cooler version would probably have been more unique but a little difficult for me to wear. I have Galatia in mini retro, but as it’s one of my all time favourite shades, I don’t object to having a double.

[dawnmarie]

I love that you tell us they are repeated shades.

I would love to see you show us how to mix and match shades from the different ND palettes. Pretty please Thank you 🩷

[jenguerro]

I love this palette, i think it's my favorite mini of hers. The colors are great, subtle but can be glamourous.

[sarahbrochu]

Dang it, I was super excited about the light pinky shimmer. It hadn't dawned on me that it's the same as in the mini retro. So yep, that's disappointing 😕

[katemakeuplooks]

Got both the Lila and Star palettes so obviously don’t need this but I wouldn’t have thought to put them together so this has given me some really good ideas! xx

[danisbookshelf]

Dang, I was thinking ND might finally get me if it had been more of a mauve palette! Alas, this is a pass for me. Thanks for the review!

[markbrayX]

I've ordered this one, and now that I've seen it used, I am convinced that I will like these colors.

[michelle.burnstein.beauty]

I love minis from ND. They are great in your purse or your suitcase. Love it 💕

[lisalovesphotography]

I’m so pleased I’ve ordered this mini (and the new Benefit mascara!) I don’t have those other ND palettes and this look is exactly what I love on myself. Beautiful, Charlotte!
Now, can we have the palette in the promo photos, too?!

[katyp.]

I've started to buy the mini palettes rather than the full sized ones, mainly because in the bigger ones there are always quite a lot of colours I never used. I even gave the Bronze and Retro palettes to the BFF, who was delighted. I love the look of Starlette, and will definitely buy it when it's back in stock. The look you created is so I wonder if there'll be a mini Yucca 🤔.

So different in the flesh, this is why reviews are so helpful. Looks lovely on you.
