It's BACK... for now!! Natasha Denona Metropolis Palette 3 Years Late... | Lauren Mae Beauty

[@ac2055]

I'm just happy to see the Metropolis palette finally organized into gradients. 😌

[@alolaninetales]

Well. There's another palette I had absolutely no interest in until I couldn't get my hands on it LOL

[@Gitanarosa]

I wish Natasha would bring palettes like this and the $65 ones. They are so fun and cheaper!

[@irinatanase7150]

I agree but I wish she would also bring her best formula in that sizing. I keep on boasting about the Gold palette but it’s superior to any of her other palettes.

[@kirstenglae]

The Gold palette is actually back in stock on her website as well!!! I grabbed it, but for this one I’m good just having the Alter Ego Artemis palette.

[@irinatanase7150]

I think the Gold palette is the best formula Natasha offers. Beautiful textured shimmers, amazing mattes. It’s the only one I would repurchase. She hasn’t done anything like it since.

[@raquelfreeman81]

Do you have a tip for keeping the alter ego products fresh? I had mine for less than a year n they give little to no pigment now.

[@alexandreaturcot8921]

I really LOVE your version of the 15pan Metropolis palette! You must have a very creative/artistic mind, 👏 bravo. Also, I have been so tempted by her larger palettes for so long but the price 😵‍💫 The "Star" and the blue big palletes are still on my wishlist. I bought the dupe for the Metropolis so that will have to do for now. Your video definitely helped calm the temptation...for now, lol.

[@irishtigerlily]

Well, I went and bought it. I've been wanting it for awhile and after watching I just went ahead and did it! Signed up for emails and got a 10% off coupon, so it came down to $116 with free shipping.

[@josiezee]

OMG!!! I RAN to the ND website to get this beauty in my hands!! I finally had decided to buy it several months ago and was devastated when it was sold out! I am THRILLED and am so grateful for the hookup!!!

[@charlenedsouza9269]

Do you know how long it was OOS? I want to get it now, but it is OOS and ND customer service is giving me vague answers on whether this is discontinued!

[@josiezee]

@@charlenedsouza9269 I don't. I'm sorry!

[@EchoRe]

I could literally watch you freestyle palettes all day. Please never stop making these videos ❤❤❤❤

[@annika8169]

I went to Bremen (Germany) last weekend and went to Sephora since we don't have a Sephora in the Netherlands.. They had de GOLD palette for 30% off and then again for a extra 20% off at the cashier. I got the Natasha Denona Gold palette for only €67 euro's!! I was so happy, because I was kinda sad I didn't grab it.. SOOOO, If you live in the Bremen area. GRAB IT, because there was still one left! :)

[@LondynBrielle]

I always love wheb discontinued or older items come back....like are they hot off the press or original stock that is about to go bad?

[@LaurenMaeBeauty]

Yeah exactly!! Like did you find random older stock or did you manufacture more because people still wanted it?

[@LondynBrielle]

@@LaurenMaeBeauty EXACTLY!!!I really wish brands would answer that question, cuz if its old almost expired stock that's not ok, especially at full price!

[@marysloane1709]

@@LaurenMaeBeauty my concern

[@Soulecitou]

Hello, there are websites online that would let you check the lot number and find out the manufactured date. 🙂

[@notimportant123]

I felt exactly the same way about missing Gold! So glad to snag it during this restock. Thanks for doing this video -- I love seeing new videos of older popular palettes. It gives me something contemporary to watch and encourages me to dig in to them, rather than drooling over the newest launch.

[@SnowTheOwl]

I’ve had the gold palette & still in love with it- if you are on the fence about it, get it!!! Yes it’s a lot of gold shadows but I love neutral looks and I love all the different textures present.

[@zerbirae4224]

Your version makes me think of a luxury version of the wilderness palette. I love when you create your own color stories😊

[@nostalgia_kills]

This has been one of my favorite palettes since it was released. I’m so glad you got it!

[@mapleleaf1956]

I bought Metropolis back in 2019 when it originally released. It’s consistently my most used palette every year. I still enjoy content making use of it!

[@melodyrecchione]

Omg Lauren, I'm so glad you posted this! I also just got this palette, I'm so happy she restocked it

[@shanahthomas7638]

I was so mad i bought this one and the gold second hand and paid well over sell price only for her to bring both back.... That said its a great palette and im happy i have it

[@hannahgriffis9069]

The smaller version of the Metropolis palette reminds me of the Colourpop RawBeautyKristi At Forest Sight palette a bit

[@AngyDragonfly]

As someone who bought the palette the first time around, I will be purchasing another. I have panned about 1/3 of the palette and love that I can pop out shades I want for travel. It has been honestly my most used and loved palette in all of my collection and definitely reccomend it to those not quite sure about it. It can be a splurge but i can do so many looks you can find purpose for every shade.

[@shandysawh3071]

i mixed the metro with the love palette. there really was too many orange brown shades in metro, and I love the cream to powder formula, so i put all of those ad the most textured shimmers in one and it's so pretty!

[@jenniferbailey2169]

There are just so palettes that stick in your brain! I just bought the BPerfect Antidote palette today. It is huge but I cannot get past that color story. This is such a fun video!

[@KaylaMarieMakeupArtist224]

I love how you did this video!! And absolutely love how you rearranged your Metro palette!!

[@katlynburmeister1004]

I picked this up on her website yesterday!! Also soooo tempted by the gold palette, though I noticed that the gold palette is no longer marked as “limited edition.”

[@islandbirdw]

ND makes I so many different textures like now in her new chroma crystal, but she letters then all M for metallic. If you look at the similar colors they each have some subtle differences in texture or intensity of different metallic’s. all in a complex color scheme. Lovely 😊 I love how she throws herself into each meticulous detail for each collection.

[@mamabear8373]

Between ND, Sydney Grace, Lorac, and Hudas fall palette, those are pretty much my go to eyeshadow brands. Never disappointed.

[@LucisZ39]

Natasha Denona confirmed on Instagram that the Gold was being discontinued. Would bet it was the same story on the Metropolis. What I think happened is both palettes are still disco’d. The brand ran down the stock but then warehousing found some cases of palettes and they’re back on the website. I’ve seen it happen with Sephora and brands that contract out warehousing all the time. I’m happy it means that people who missed out have the opportunity to get their hands on them.

[@shellbell1974]

You are so amazing! I love how you redid that palette…it felt like you were playing with scrabble pieces, but yeah I’ve never seen anyone do that! I’ve seen people take em out and destroy them or replace them, but never have I seen anybody adjust the color story!

[@blushandsky]

The organised version of Metropolis at about 7:30 mark gives me Colourpop It‘s a Mood vibes, but better because there are no purples 🤣 I also love the cut down version a‘la midi Zendo. It has been on my mind since it released and I‘m just hesitant to pick it up as it got mixed reviews and I never tried ND, but the mix of corals and teals just hits some strings in my heart and I can‘t stop thinking about it 🤣

[@sarahjohnson7365]

I paused mid-video and bought it! I’ve been eyeing it and trying to figure out if I need it or not. Seeing it up close and hearing your thoughts sealed it for me. So excited to get it soon

[@HMMMakeup]

My 🐾 loved your music choices. Fun times watching you sort shadows. The pastels gave me Sugarpill vibes.

[@EvelienHV85]

Ohhhh I never thought about mixing my palettes! By now I have 3 (Metropolis, Sunset and Pastel), this looks like so much fun to do.

[@TheEtherny]

I like this idea of reviewing and playing with older makeup (even tho it's new to your collection lol) it's making me want to bust mine out and play with it!

[@mickjac8447]

I would love for her to bring this back in the way that you edited it at the $65 price point. Nice job!

[@idontmindwell]

The thing is, even though I shouldn’t have spent the money on this and the gold palette, I know I won’t regret it. I will use the absolute stew out of these two. And I LOVE your rearrangement of the metropolis. Totally reorganizing it that way. First two ND palettes I’ll have ever owned 😍😍😍

[@lamsing6090]

Once again, Lauren, you made an interesting video, that encourages us to look closely (or in a new light) at our eye shadow palettes and learn to appreciate what we already have. The 15 pan palette that you made almost reminds me of the zendo palette. Oops... you mentioned that as well!

[@RaniaMich]

I labeled mine and started playing as soon as i received it too. Then i mixed it with my sunrise palette and made a full warm-neutral-ish palette in the metropolis shell and a more colourful palette in the sunrise shell. ❤️

[@Colleen10119]

I LOVE your videos like this, just playing with the palettes and finding new combinations. It really feels like something you actually enjoy and it's so fun watching them too

[@shellbell1974]

The 15 pan version is flippin amazing!

[@rosiedubs6315]

So interesting to hear your experience and perspective! This is honestly the only pallet I own next to a basic nude one and I loooooove it. But I’m a neutrals girl with blue eyes so the oranges and golds are *chefs kiss.

[@ericafait3082]

I think that... Natasha should hire you!!!!! 🤩 I have the sheglam dupe (not the same quality, but most of the shades are spot on and I can make it work), bought it because I wanted to test the colour story before buying the real thing and ended up not loving it, too orange for my liking. I wouldn't have had any doubt purchasing your version though! 😍 I don't buy Natasha's palettes anymore because I became allergic to carmine, and because at that price point I think I'd rather have some special indie eyeshadows, but the metropolis will always be desirable in my head. A big hug from Italy! 😘

[@FR-oz9px]

Metropolis and Zendo swatched next to each other can look quite similar, you’re right. I like your condensed version. Got this palette after lusting after it for more than a year. Oh boy, it’s my worst and most expensive regret. Metropolis dupes itself too many times and at that price point I shouldn’t have to deal with glitter fallout. Mini Glam and Zendo would have been totally sufficient for me and a lot less repetitive. Not worth the hype, get the mini.

[@breeskilove4817]

I saw this pallet came back. Like you I was on the fence when it came out and then I was mad I missed it. Now reconsidering it. Thanks for the video

[@Brilliantnash]

I'm still truely,madly and deeply in love with my Metropolis. It started my love for the brand.

[@sarahgoelz6385]

as someone who doesn't yet own any natasha denona, your videos always make me want to try them. I always love your version of the palettes, but this one is my favorite so far.

[@bridget663]

Keep in mind that you can do this with ColourPop palettes too, if you don't want to spend that ND money. :)

[@sarahgoelz6385]

@@bridget663 lol, that's what I've been telling myself to scratch that ND itch and it's worked so far, but they're always in the back of my mind.

[@ohheyyola5416]

When you pulled out all the shadows to create your own palette it highlighted how redundant some of our stuff is.

[@kibe4487]

One of my favorite palettes from ND and in general.

[@aneesachaudhury3360]

I am soo impressed of your version of the 15 pan palette. I would deff purchase it without realizing that I already own the Metropolis palette

[@rabbiroz3806]

Lauren, I love your 15 pan and the look that you did with it is GORGEOUS!

[@caityjayde96]

The big palette is so pretty and kinda reminds me of the NYX Ultimate Utopia palette and some of the shades you used also make me more tempted by the Pastelle palette. I bought the Metropolis palette and I love it so far, but I think you're right that it's a little repetitive, especially with the gold/bronze shades. I still love it though, and when I eventually get around to labelling all my ND shades, I'm looking forward to creating a palette using the blues and greens from Metropolis and Zendo, and maybe some reds or purples, and probably keeping some oranges.

[@swatchsea]

I love this palette, it’s one of my favourites in my collection! I just bought the Triochrome palette, mainly for the mattes, because that one is getting increasingly harder to find.

[@jorietimuik7675]

I’ve been waiting for this video!! Mine is on its way and in so excited!

[@amandavasquez653]

This is my favorite ND palette. I have almost hit pan on the cream, swampy green shadow. I love the olive tones and the golds in this palette!❤️

[@fatimag9108]

I have a lot of ND palettes including the metropolis & the gold which i got btw before it disappeared in Dubai .. I’m not regretting any of these purchases the metropolis has an exquisite formula btw because it has her enhanced cream formula waaaay different experience from the powdery formula of the gold palette and I believe dupe palettes as well … i loved the metropolis its very unique to my collection and to the trending color stories nowadays .. most palettes released are leaning pinkish & burgundy this is amazing go for it

[@barbiek0715]

We love you so much Lauren! Thank you

[@buggy627]

You have the prettiest upturned eyes

[@carinam4258]

The palette you made, reminds me of the raw beauty Christy and colorpop palette

[@alex_gallo_]

Wow. The final version of your 15 pan Metropolis looks like Ace beauté Flair palette. Thanks for new video ❤️

[@tdsollog]

If this gets issued as a midi, I will want to pounce on it. Your edited version is better, in my humble opinion. Love from the spooky Pine Barrens in NJ

[@godzandheros]

I don't know how she would bring it back as a "Midi" when the shadows in it are already the Midi size, there's just 28 of them instead of 15, hence the higher price.

[@SnowTheOwl]

Since you treat your ND shadows as singles- I’d love to see a video on your favorite ND shadows from her palettes and favorite combos.

[@pauwula]

I loved this look so much. It was neutral but still a bit out there with that beautiful duochrome. I'll definitely try to recreate it with my own shadows. I know it won't look as stunning as yours but I love the sultry vibes and that's what I'll be going for

[@mariannebrasch6729]

Great video! I had the same feelings as you about the palette, I was not in the least bit interested. The palette seemed too jumbled. However, I was sad I did not pick it up when it was gone because I too am a huge Natasha Denona fan! Needless to say, I now own it-I jumped on it when it was re-issued!

[@carlym8701]

Stunning look as usual Lauren, those tones make your blue eyes stand out. I’d get this one but I got the Gold palette instead, maybe later on if it’s still available.

[@yasothar5895]

I actually skipped on the Metropolis and Gold palette coz I figured I didn't need them. And I felt ND was too expensive. Skip forward a few years later and after trying out her Mini palettes, then midis then the larger ones (after I bought the Biba and Circo Loco at a discount) I fell head-over-heels in love with her formula and started getting major FOMO for those 2 palettes, just as they were discontinued 😢 skip forward a year later and I saw them back on her website! That was my quickest purchase yet and I broke my no-buy rule to get them. No regrets.

[@audreyrainville2377]

I love your 15 pan version! I would definitely have run to buy that! Maybe I need to rethink my stance on this palette haha

[@stretchyfingers]

This was freakin awesome. I’m absolutely mind blowned I love ur recreations

[@estherfkim]

I would have loved to have seen swatches of the shades you didn't put in your revised palette, but love th edit!

[@annamaybourdon8507]

i do wish I had your confidence in changing out the color stories, I enjoy watching what you do with the them!

[@aundrealauzon]

Loving the look you came out with. I was so excited to get this palette, and I waited until I could get it on sale, but when I finally got it in my hands, it was complete chaos. I did a couple looks with it, and I just wasn't happy with it at all. I plan on selling it soon.❤❤

[@CocoLeileigh]

Girl!!! Why was this the most satisfying game of Tetris of my life???? LOL!!!! Like WHAT?! Tetris ,but make it ND eyeshadows!!!! Yasssssss

[@The_C_Word]

I ended up getting the alter ego version of this palette when the original was “discontinued”. I like it but not enough to get the original. So I’m happy I paid $20 for the alter ego one.

[@notimportant123]

Your 15 pan looks like what Zendo should have been! PS try this: layer the duochrome over one of the peachy/orange cream to powder shades.

[@sweetmirtha4ever]

I 🏃‍♀️to get mines lol. I also wanted this palette soo bad but it was sold out. However I’m extremely happy today to get my hands one. Now if only Natasha can bring back the gold palette. That will be amazing.😊 PS love you channel.

[@miera7888]

Omg it reminds me of the colourpop X RBK collab.... that'd be a cool video comparing them lol

[@LaurenMaeBeauty]

Yeah I can definitely see the similarities!

[@tdsollog]

I had the same thoughts. Similar vibes.

[@jillstarkel4425]

Hey beautiful lady and friends!! That was fun. I wish I had that talent and it is one. It takes creativity to see the colors in a way as to be able to put them back together in a even more complimentary way. Good job!! THANKS 😊

Agreed.

[@niamh3610]

Do I need this palette if I have the gold, bronze, retro, star, tropic, safari, camel, glam, biba, triochrome, lila, mini glam palette??? Looking at them spread out next to the depotted bronze shadows, look awfully familiar!

[@JessyLovesYou]

Like a lakehouse in fall. Honestly, I'd buy your version.

[@andreeabizniuc368]

I was so excited when it came back but unfortunately they don't ship to Italy:(( Wish they would sell it with other retailers:(

Your smaller version is mutch better, I like it😍. I had Metropolis, but sold it.

[@christyfielding7498]

I've wanted this so badly then it was gone now it's back and I'm back to deliberating whether I really want to spend that much.

not interested in the real version, but I would for sure buy yours for $65! love these videos, very fun to watch you de/construct palettes

[@kthompson9889]

LAUREN i’ve been looking at this since it was rereleased and i think i have to get it after this video. i’ve officially been influenced

[@SwayTree]

This was limited edition for Christmas 2018 or 2019 (?). Maybe they try if this can work as a permanent item?

[@islandbirdw]

I think with ND it’s textures almost more than colors. She has not less than 4 types of metallic all labeled simply M That being said I’m finding endless combinations with this palette the 28 blue/purple @ the 28 green/brown along with BIBA🤷🏼‍♀️. Also this has mostly crème powder mattes 👍

[@jslilimauve]

I actually like your 15 pan version way better then the original - for that price there are just too many unnecessary repeats and thats why I didnt get it. Natasha Denona always makes that mistake. None of her stories so far made my buy it. Just not well done as far as color stories, they all could have been much better.

[@KielyNewsome]

I was waiting to get this during the spring Sephora sale but it went off Sephora earlier than that 😅 If it’s still around during Black Friday I’ll hopefully have the money again to get it off her site but right now it’s still a little to rich for my blood

[@TheMunchkinita2509]

I had the Metropolis palette and after trying it a couple of times decided that I didn't want it. This palette was really instrumental in teaching me that I'm not really into warm shades.. specifically warm browns; so I sold it. Best part is that I only paid $29 + tax for it but was able to sell it for a small profit 😁 (only like $20 which actually went into shipping, but still lol)

[@AynneMorison]

how would it look if you went to 18 instead of 15 - would you have 3 more you really want - or is it only the two you showed?

[@nenumsroomofmakeup]

looking at this video made me go look to see if the palettes I want and need to finish my ND collection was in stock… and wow I DON’T SEE the STAR PALETTE on her website or on Sephora I hope 🤞🏽 she haven’t DC this palette MY HEART is going to HURT 😢… I need biba also to finish my big eyeshadow palettes collection from her I see that one still on both websites…….I really hope Star ⭐️ palette isn’t gone

[@recklessisrecording]

Do you think the neutral shades in the Metropolis palette are similar to the Bronze palette?
