OK, I don’t comment a lot, but I LOVE that you live-swatched the palette onto the back of your hand while talking!!! It was the BEST!!! It looked like there were at least 3 holochromes to me in the palette! Thank you so much for the beautiful review! Makes me want this palette even more! XOXO Heidi

[@vinczemarti]

I love your look, outfit, hair, everything in this video!! Plus I can't wait for the palette to come out! Amazing color story!

[@JackOllie4]

Thank you for commenting about the use of AI over an actual human artist. That's a very important aspect of makeup artwork that now needs to be part of reviews. Your swatches are excellent! Really, really helpful to see how shades look, what their base colors and undertones are and how the formulas look when moved around and spread out.

[@xDyxe]

Yes! Sent me down a rabbit hole about the brand and won't be purchasing it but it's v pretty

[@romanyhosier9133]

@@xDyxethe brand is literally hiring artists rn tho 😅

[@ginkgobilobatree]

Gosh, I love that you are doing comparisons again. One thing that I have noticed for a lot of comparisons is that when the text is given, the source of them is underneath in a much smaller and less "bold" font. When I pause to look at them all, the name may be above the progress bar and youtube pops up a bunch of icons etc that obscure that text. It may just be my browser, but could you position the text above the swatch so that we can read it when paused? I love this palette. Since I unexpectedly got a bonus this year, maybe I will purchase it!

[@fourducksoriginal]

Your swatches are the best and most useful, as per usual, thank you. They make me see that many shades are not "cold" at all, and have either an undertone or, in the special shades, a reflect or shift, that is warm toned ( golden, yellow, rusty reddish, murky yellow green, etc). I am both cool toned and high contrast, so warm - inflected shades that are also indistinct (i.e. super shifty) don't look great on me. I was all on board to buy Cold Moon, but now I'm leaning "No" despite the impressiveness of the shades in many other respects and the better price tag! Thanks, Milly, and happy holidays!

[@StevenForditude]

Thank you for the swatch comparisons. I feel confident that I can dupe this one almost exactly. 😊

[@rabbiroz3806]

This is the release I am most looking forward to this month!!!!

[@richardwright9292]

That 3rd look + wig + outfit 🤌 Omg this palette is so so beautiful and I would wear the #@%& outta it. Going to try to dupe it for sure!

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I love the looks you got here. It’s a very beautiful palette. I’m going to try duping this one first. I have a lot of special shades and neutral palettes to work from. Thank you for your thoughtful and thorough approach. Happy Holidays ❄️🕊️🎄

[@GeeSmith333]

Never would have thought to pair gray and mauve, but I'm totally trying it now. I need to see the mattes swatched on deeper skin, but I may grab this one since it's cheaper than the others.

[@raquelfreeman81]

I believe @drashandhermakeup did a review on this palette. She has a darker complexion. I found it very helpful

[@heavaforeva]

Love the looks. Im excited to get this palette. At this price point it needs to have a mirror. Lol..Happy Holidays Milly ❤️

[@boringzilla]

Those shimmers and multichromes look amazing!

[@Elfmommth]

Eek! You look stunning! You always do, but I love this whole look!

[@badtothebrow]

Thank you!!

[@michellecaudill7936]

I’m so drawn to your reviews. You’re so talented

[@badtothebrow]

Thank you!!

[@MerlijnTouretta]

Girl you owe me a lot of money, because now I want this palette!! Love the vid and comparisons!

[@NewYorkCityGritty5]

Moonlit frost single is stunning! I bought this palette and it is the most gorgeous thing I own. It's like neutrals on speed.Thank you for the video, I love your eye looks ❤

[@mommelmelmakeup]

My husband just bought this palette for me today! It is a 6-10 week pre-order now, but I don't mind waiting! It's my first purchase from the brand!

[@badtothebrow]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@raquelfreeman81]

I just ordered it too. I couldn't resist the sparkly shades. The wait will hopefully be worth it

[@dead666doll]

THANKS FOR ALL THE SWATCHES! SO PRETTY!!! This is the first palette I've wanted in YEARS! I haven't bought any eye shadow since 2020 and I am totally loving this one... 😄😄😄😄😄

[@theoccultlibrarian5386]

I love that the looks you do are always so simple and easy, yet stunning! You give me confidence in my own ability 😂 ❤️

[@anniecortes585]

I love this color story. I worry about those cool tones on me..I can probably dupe them anyway, but did want to try the shimmers. I don't need any more eyeshadow 😂! You talk so fast I have a hard time keeping up😅...regardless, i do enjoy your videos ...

[@sashybeauty]

Beautiful looks! Your swatches and your info are always super helpful. It’s crazy that I love this one even more after watching this 😆🥹💗 thank you!! I’m thinking of buying the palette and pressed singles. I’m thinking about the loose pigments. It looks like those have a better variety but I’m just in love with the tones with singles. I feel like I would use those more everyday. ✨✨

[@michellerocco5073]

Girl 🎉😂❤🎉U look Gorgeous omg Jesus!!! Love ya sis and this is the ONE OMG YES!! 🙏 👏 😘 CHEF'S KISS

[@blendofdays]

For a sec I thought you went back to blonde! It looks great! 🤗✨ I hope you have a good holiday Milly 🫶

[@jayadora]

I want to try the brand so much, but $15 dollar shipping within the states....from Oregon to New Orleans....I'm just kinda shocked by that, and it's keeping me from diving into the brand.

[@DanielleNicoleMakeup]

Thanks Milly! I ordered this right away. I don't have any multichrome palettes and have a fair cool complection so or course prefer cool tones. Can't wait. Looks very daily friendly to glam 😊 Yes indie brands, more cool toned palettes please 🙌 The quality looks amazing

[@xxxaixo]

I love the Megan esthetic you have going on. It's so cute and this palette is gorgeous

[@badtothebrow]

Megan??

[@theoriginalmadgeylou]

M3GAN i think 😆@@badtothebrow

[@elisa-beary]

Something about this palette has rly caught me off guard && caught my eye. You’re right it’s my kinda I need a nude.

[@megl2562]

Milly do you have any updated opinions on the best holo shadows out there? I remember when TOG came out with holos they were better than those previously on the market. Are they all kind of the same now or are there some new standouts/top tier brands in your opinion?

[@cassandrathompson8482]

I’ve tried many holos and imo Electrum cosmetics and Bella Beaute bar have the best ones. Much better than touch of glam and more affordable.

[@kissesandmakeup]

Yes! I love that wig and top!

[@badtothebrow]

Thank you!

[@sl-nz3kh]

Love your style and makeup 💖💗🔥

[@skateata1]

Great video. The colors look beautiful.

[@ollymounara605]

Thank you for swatching. Happy holidays!

[@badtothebrow]

Happy holidays!

[@keishastroud9212]

What beautiful shimmers!!!! I really like the way it all looks but im not sure id love it enough to pay the price.... and I probably can dupe most.... keeping my eye out though

[@suhseal]

I SAY .. it's too shiny for me, but I also seem to have a lot of the clionadh and terra moons shades you showed in your comparison. I have a feeling I can build my own palette using viseart grand pro 1 and clionadh and terra moons singles. Steller review as always. It's such an intriguing brand but the cost is prohibitive and I don't want EVERY single shimmer to be that shimmery. I definitely want a mix of different kinds of shimmers: satins, metallics, shimmery, toppers, etc.

[@StevenForditude]

Love the hair!

[@rabbiroz3806]

Great video. And you look beautiful.

[@melissapuppe4104]

It’s so crazy how pigmented those multichromes are even using a brush to apply them

[@pecopicante4167]

Look at you!!! You look so gorgeous (It's not like you don't look gorgeous any other time😅) thank you for another helpful and quality video

[@samantha_rose.]

You do a lot of colorful eyeshadow looks, what are your favorite glitter primers and eyeshadow primers? My more colorful eyeshadows crease more

[@samanthanapoli997]

I know they are totally different color stories, but I’m wondering if you prefer cold moon to lands of enchantment?

[@badtothebrow]

For everyday yes, I will get more use out of cold moon. But i loveeee lands of enchantment’s color story as well

[@tinadavis4374]

​@@badtothebrowdo you get all of these colors in the purchase

[@chyvonnezhang1216]

FINALLY!!! Love your uploads as always!!! This is basically my favourite colour story with them. Thinking of picking this one up... And I love your looks. You are absolutely amazing XOXO

[@claireplauche7724]

Looking AMAZING as usual Millie!!!👑💣💞

[@fakemakeupguru]

i come to you for hooded eye info lol--i want to try the brand but it seems like the shimmers will crease and move around on hooded eyes, even with a primer. what are your experiences and thoughts?

[@annihilxte]

Omg you look so cute Milly!!! You’re truly so stunning! I love wigs and wear them all the time as I wait for my natural hair to grow back after it broke a couple years ago. And I want a blonde one now after seeing you in one! lol thank you for sharing this beautiful palette with us, I have only bought a handful of neutral singles and one neutral indie eyeshadow palette (Gloss Gods New Neutrals Remixed) but I really want to get this one to add to my neutrals collection! Thank you so much, I hope you have an amazing Christmas/New Year ❤❤❤ so excited about this one

[@janet_sv2]

I plan to pick this one up even though I suspect it will not be a favorite for me from Ensley Reign. I think it is a great addition to their palettes. Your review is very informative as always.

[@kittysonne]

Love your look❤

[@badtothebrow]

Thank you!

[@jgomez9600]

The brush you used mother's night is what brush? I NEED TO KNOW !!!!!

[@louibeans]

Beautiful swatches, as always. I think this color story and selection is so beautiful and I was super excited for this palette. Until I learned that the art ER used for the cover is AI. I think that using AI for palette designs is unethical because AI essentially steals from other people's artwork in order to compile a new imagine. The artists did not agree to have their art used in AI algorithms, nor are they getting compensated for it. The second reason why I think it's unethical is that using an AI generated image for product design essentially takes away what could have been a paid job for an artist. As someone who was a freelance artist for many years and who has been stolen from a lot even before AI was a thing, I can no longer support the brand Ensley Reign for that reason. I truly hope that the fact they're using AI will make others reconsider their purchase as well. Surviving as an artist is hard enough, even harder now that many opt to using AI instead of actually paying a human to design for them. Especially as a smaller indie brand where everything is self-made, ER should know better than capitalizing off of stolen art, in my opinion. Ivy (faceforward) made a really good video talking about this issue that I recommend watching for those of you who may not ever have considered what difference it makes to use AI over an actual artist.

[@searose777]

And of course, it sold out ridiculously fast! Ensley Reign needs to do better! Especially because their Pre-Order time is sooo long. 8-10 weeks 🤯

[@mariehenderson5358]

@badtothebrow what brush did you use for packing the flakey shadows on please? Love that you do still and live swatches, just getting into indie eye shadows but need a little help as my brushes don’t work with flake ones.

[@DanielleNicoleMakeup]

I think its the Rephr #2 brush. Maybe try natural hair brushes like that one. They seem to pick up more. Sonia G has great brushes too

[@ange1atsang]

Do you find the non matte shades oily? How well do they last?

[@hauntedglance]

This is so pretty! But in general, I don't understand how glitters like this are different than pressed glitters in eyeshadow palettes, apart from the shifty shade range.

[@anh7807]

It scares me because the loose pigments are dust...so easy to get in the eye. I used them in the early 2000's.

[@searose777]

I hope this palette doesn’t sell out in 2 minutes like the last one ….

[@lawlaw4109]

I can’t see what brand the shade “indie” is which is compared to Saturnalia from the cold moon palette. I basically NEED another saturnalia and don’t know where to start with a dupe

[@badtothebrow]

It’s from Glamshop which is a Polish brand. Saturnalia is holographic so there is no exact dupe to it in terms of that

[@sleepychamaeleon]

Don't fall in love with this palette if you live in the UK! Ensley reign won't post to the UK, unless you buy from their Etsy shop. And in their Etsy shop you will find the prices are higher, no discount codes apply, and carriage is astronomical! £39 for one palette, £75 for two. So if you want two palettes that adds up to £234!! Sorry but no eyeshadow is worth that. Disappointed 😞

[@GeeSmith333]

Look 3! 🔥🔥🔥

What do you use to grow your lashes??

[@leighaparker8798]

[@lisasallery7860]

Did you just say $70??? I thought it got real muddy, real quick. Beautiful shades. But probably just placement. Shimmers are stunning.

5:36 faltou mostrar a sombra que ta aplicando!

[@kyeoptawerk93ah]

I dont support ai art at all so this along with i dont do cool tones makes it an easy skip. There are tons are real artists who could make those images and make them better but brands no matter the size dont want to pay people for their work

[@DanielleNicoleMakeup]

Does anyone know which small brush that was at 6:10 to create the brown wing?

[@kittycloud6693]

👍🏻

[@LocMaiden]

🖤

[@HersheykissesLV]

I am not a fan of the outer packaging of this palette or the color story. The color story is similar to Natasha Denona's I need a nude but with more sparkly shadows and more cool toned. Both wouldn't work for my skin tone.

[@annefrancesa1140]

I bought this palette, after to see alot of rewieus! And definitely isn’t equal to one Natasha Denona. palette! by much! The quality of Natasha Denona is higher than all the rest of palettes, please don’t do those comparisons, the palette is okey, but the glitters are so big and look a little grotesque on the eyelid, I felt a little disapointed, and is expensive also the delivery.

[@CobraDove1111]

Why are you moving the wrist like that all the way down, it's terrible

[@decklandmc]

Any interest in this pallet or brand went away for me when I realized they use AI art instead of paying an actual artist. AI art is theft. What a left-down.

[@batacumba]

I was just thinking to myself during the video that the packaging is beautiful but it has an AI art look to it. ☹️ I’m glad I’m getting better at spotting that stuff, it’s so insidious.

[@ReJoyce456]

✨That’s Too Bad That You Feel That Way. Art Is Art. A Rose Is A Rose. And ….. Theft Is Theft, But Not Always The Case in The AI Art World. 😌 Blessed~Be✨🫶🏼✨

[@anh7807]

Theyre a newer brand. Perhaps they cant afford to hire an artist.
