I just watched the video Karen Harris did with this palette, and i told her the same thing: these looks are very 60s, and i think it is just as bold and dramatic, just in a different way from dark colors. I think it is a stunning and unique look. This palette should have been named "Retro", not the other one.

[@khills]

I was definitely getting 60s vibes from the looks ND was using to advertise the palette. Also getting some Biba vibes.

[@RaniaMich]

I just left a comment over at Karen's about how it looks so 60s especially with the hair down, and I'm now over Angie's comment section looking for others saying the same thing because I thought I was going crazy thinking the same about this 2nd look! Haha! I totally agree about the name, retro would have been a cute name for this but alas...

[@LorraineParis1]

I agree perfect name Retro!!

[@TheMunchkinita2509]

I feel like I'm the odd man out here in thinking that a pastel palette that has deepening shades would then make it no longer a "pastel palette". I feel like no matter how small someone's collection is everyone has a deep shade in another palette that they can pull from that can be used to deepen up the look you created with the pastel palette. If I'm buying a pastel specific palette I'd rather get more pastel shades and reach into another palette than a pastel palette that is in actuality only HALF a pastel palette bc it has deeper shades to make it more well-rounded. Hope that makes sense! I know how much you love darker looks, Angelica, and trust me.. you always look stunning in your usual style. However, the looks you created today are equally as gorgeous! Especially the 2nd one 😍 Thank you for yet another quality backed video!! Hope your upcoming weekend is a great one!

[@LL-zb3dl]

I agree with you about wanting a pastel palettes to be pastel!

[@killerfreckles1162]

I dropped this palette on my hardwood floor today. All the little pans popped out. NONE of the eyeshadow broke. I drop a metallic colourpop palette on the ground and it is game over. I mean yeah the ND formula is like next level - but it is also sturdy as hell and I appreciate that! 😆

[@evispalmer]

Would you consider doing another video using this palette to create two other looks using it as a companion palette with two of her other midi palettes? I think it could be very useful for people to see the other ways it could be used. Thanks for another great video!!

[@AngelicaNyqvist]

I’ll probably do more looks for Instagram :)

[@teganmacgregor6492]

I've been watching a lot of reviews of this palette and you're the only one so far that does it like Natasha - placing/packing the shadow on, then blending the edges. I think this way seems to work best with the formula, especially the cream to powders :)

[@Goldie9899]

Agree

[@taniaquinones3447]

The shadows blend anyway completely if you do anything other than that method this isn't a good formula even the repeat shimmers are dull compared to the original versions. I returned this one.

[@mus1quenonst0p]

oh man! i didn’t realize the pastel palette would be so similar to lost in LA! i ordered ND’s palette and am very excited, but i also have glamlite ice cream dream. i think i have a pastel problem 😆

[@AllTheHappySquirrels]

Me too. I already have the Lost in Los Angeles, Pastel Pup, and the Midas pastel palettes, but I'll probably pick this one up in the VIB/Rouge sale. I have a deep sea fish complexion and I really love pastels, though.

[@mus1quenonst0p]

@@AllTheHappySquirrels hello fellow pastel lover! how is the midas palette? they’re having a closing sale, and i thought about picking it up. i also would LOVE pastel pup! it had been sold out whenever i tried to buy it.

[@AllTheHappySquirrels]

@@mus1quenonst0p I love all of my Midas palettes and I have almost all of them. Highly recommend! Flowerbomb is amazing and I'm tempted to pickup a backup since they're closing.

[@JohannaLag]

I was actually blind to that fact too 😆 I have the Lost in Los Angeles one and love it dearly but I should use it more... Guess after buying the ND one too, I have to wear A LOT of pastels this spring/summer 🙈

[@mus1quenonst0p]

@@AllTheHappySquirrels i think it’s actually sold out. when i was on the site, i was going to pick it up, but it was gone. i doubt they’re restocking it, either :/

I would love to see a look of companion looks with this palette. But I know for me I’ve been waiting for the perfect pastel palette, I think this is ❤️♥️👌🏾.. Thanks! I love that you just understand how pastels are supposed to look. How about this palette and glam😍

[@TipTheScales27]

I’ve heard good things about makeup by yolanda’s pastel palette :)

"I don't love pastel palettes on their own" she says, looking like a GODDESS!!!

So excited to see this! Can’t wait to get mine! Would love to see this WITH the Circo Loco palette 🎨! xox

[@susanstetson3435]

I was thinking this would be great with that palette.

When you said you had no makeup on at all I actually gasped. Your skin is absolutely gorgeous! Your natural straight hair is very pretty too. I ordered this, I should be getting it tomorrow.

This palette is so pretty, but I think I’m going to be good and skip it, at least for now, especially since I already have Lost in LA and should really just use that palette more. Thanks for the very helpful comparison swatches!

[@kathleenmartin5264]

This as a 5 pan would be awesome. Pastels are my favorite but I dont wear them more than a few times a month

[@grannyt6819]

I love your hair without the extensions. Very nice. Love your pastel looks. I get so much eyelook inspiration from your vids. Thank you.

[@pamelahewlett1750]

I've been doing a matte inner corner the past few days and you're right! 🤩 I am loving it!💜💙💚💜💙💚

[@AngelicaNyqvist]

yeeeaaaaj! :D

[@Acidfunkish]

I'm gonna preface this by saying that I'm absolutely obsessed with pastels. I got it on the 11th, and I've been playing with it for every day (except one) since then. It is def not my favourite pastel palette. Not even close. The first problem I have with it is that there is almost no difference in depth. There is nothing super super light, nor is there anything deeper than mid-tone. And the shades that LOOK mid-tone (mostly cream to mattes) don't build up very well. IMO, it absolutely NEEDS a companion palette. If you're not super into colour, or you prefer more understated looks, AND you're quite pale, I think you might love the palette. It is very easy to do super blended, very understated pastel looks. It is NOT easy to do full, super colourful looks, IMO. I can make it work, on my skin tone (ghostly). For anyone deeper than medium, I think it would start to look like nothing applied, at best, or ashy, at worst. THE definitive pastel palette, IMO, is the Menagerie Pastel Pup. They are true pastels in almost every shade you could want, plus a very true matte white, and a very dark matte black. They ARE powdery, but they can really be built up beautifully, or toned down, if you apply them lightly, and blend really well. I can do almost anything I want with this palette, and the Blend Bunny Blends palette is great for some darkening shades. I was on the fence about the ND Pastels, but I have decided not to return it. I'm going to take it travelling, because they are pressed quite well, and are less likely to crack or crumble than most of my favourite indie shadows. They're more sturdy than most of my singles and palettes. For home use, I prefer mostly or fully matte palettes, so I can use my special indie singles. For travel, I want to bring as few palettes as possible. So, this, and maybe a couple JP 6-pans or Colourpop 9-pans (depotted and put into palettes), for deeper shades. I mostly don't want to bring my special indie singles anywhere, so having some sturdy shimmers in the ND palette would be nice! 👍🏻

[@AP-pl5rv]

I have the BH Lost in LA palette and I agree, I am not interested in the ND palette. You did make it work hella good though. Beautiful

[@alice_rabbit8345]

I love your hair like this!!! I’ve been really liking a matte inner corner 😊

Loved both these looks! Pastels look good on you. It’s a very fresh faced, youthful look.

The review I have been waiting for!!! Queen of color💜💖💚💙💛🥰😍

[@sarahyount9927]

I think this is such a great palette and looks for spring. I really really like the second looks, it’s a nice change from the colorful looks you normally do, just a little something different (but I love all your videos, no shade at all!)

[@brittanyfeldhaus]

I’m so glad to see your review on this. I knew it wouldn’t be your vibe but I trust your opinion on quality. Also, I’ve been rocking an inner corner matte since you started recommending it

[@biogirl1381]

i really do love the looks that you created, and i agree that it’s a great companion palette, and i’m looking forward to looks that you create with this in the future. i have and adore the “candy skies” palette so very much. 💙💙💙

[@chloesmith7188]

Your technique is flawless. This is my first time using her shadows and I realized I had to pat them in and layer them on my darker skin but it came out beautifully

[@elishahernandez5075]

[@abigailhines4707]

Pastels look beautiful on you! I really loved the first look. Pastels are somehow soft and bold at the same time.

[@jayharker]

I love all the looks you made and I do enjoy just doing bright looks from time to time, so this is up my alley! But between some Lethal eyeshadows (especially Ascension!!! love it to death), your Hela palette (love the pastel yellow and pink so much!) and the Sunrise from ND, I think I'm covered. If I didn't have some of those, I would be very tempted!

[@robinlibby8388]

You're the hero we need. It's definitely close enough to the bh lost in los Angeles that I don't need a ND price level palette. I already have the bh one and enjoy it, but it's not on high use rotation. Love your looks.

[@Katystinks]

The last look made you look like a water fairy and I’m obsessed 😍

[@MsGnor]

Thanks Angie 💙💜 I never wanted a pastel palette. Since Makeup Revolution bought BH Cosmetics, I've shopped like a wild woman. The Lost in Los Angeles is now one of my all time favs. It's utterly gorgeous, the neon quality of the pastels does something glorious to my look & mood 🥰💖

[@pinkTonya24]

Great video as always Ange! I bought this palette because I love pastels amd I use them frequently because I have deep set eyes and deep shades make my eyes look smaller and closer together

[@angelic_venom]

I was waiting for your review, my set of trusted opinions is complete! I will get this palette, but mainly to use to combine and mix with the other midi palettes to create different colour stories. I feel like some of these will go so well with the love palette for example. As you say, these are for me companion shades, but I'm excited to have them in the cream to powder.

[@christinatriana9676]

This was fun! I loved seeing you play with pastels. I think I'm going to try to dupe this palette with the Shroud Cosmetics Creepy Cute matte pastels, and a bunch of Sydney Grace and Devinah shimmers. I'm pretty sure I already have all these colors in my singles, so I'm excited to play with this color story! It's so pretty. 💜💚💙

[@beasttitanofficial3768]

I left my laptop unattended for 5 minutes and when I came back, my cat was sitting on it and this video was playing (probably youtube just kept playing my related videos lol). The palette is so pretty but I feel like almost 70€ is way too much. I only have one mid size ND palette and I got it when Sephora Portugal was having a pretty big sale.

[@happyjayne2724]

I loved the purple look ( my favourite colour). I was impressed with how lovely the blues were especially when you added that second shade on top. YAY, you still recommended the BH Lost in L.A. palette. Thank you Angie. I seriously purchase on your recommendations! Or not purchase when you say nah do not buy this.

I love a matte inner corner as well 🤌🏼 I have quite a few NYX Jumbo Milk pencils that I use to highlight certain points of my face.. including my inner corner, my brow bone and my nose. I just use my finger to blot it out and I love it. I carry one in my purse, it’s so pretty! I have used it for years. And the black one is nice too for the lid to help with colors popping 😀😘😘😘😘

[@becm963]

I agree with everything that you have said. I use my pastels as a companion. I have the BH Lost in Los Angeles palette. I also purchased the ND Triochrome palette on sale. I don’t know that I will pick this one up. I think I am set on pastels. I have a few in my Sydney Grace Tiny Marvels Mel Thompson palette, too. Thanks for the lovely video.

I think everyone here has the Lost in Los Angeles because of you! I did think about getting the ND pastel palette but I'm not sure now seeing them together they're not dupes but are very similar.

Thank you for the review. I love watching yours and Alicia Archer's reviews on ND palettes because you both use the various formulas the way they are intended. Thus, both your reviews and tutorials are the most helpful when I am trying to decide if I want to purchase any ND palette. I think I will purchase this one because I can see it working very well with her Circo Loco. Could you do a tutorial combining both palettes please? It would be extra helpful, especially since you have an amazing eye for unusual but beautiful colour combinations. 😍

[@Rhymentum]

Both looks are super pretty, Angie! I ordered this palette - the first one I'll be trying from ND. I do have quite a collection of Lethal's pastel shades, but I think they will complement each other well rather than be in excess. However, if one already has a large pastel palette, it's probably not worth getting more; unless pastels is all one wears.

[@mlanden111]

I've been wanting 1 pastel palette, but none of them quite hit the mark... until this one! I love the colors, the packaging, and that it's the midi size instead of full size. Mine!

[@tamarasparks8065]

I have the Menagerie Pastel Pup so I think I will pass on this. You did great looks...always an inspiration.

[@kam0406]

The Lost In Las Angeles palette is my absolute favorite and I don't feel a need to replace it. HOWEVER, that pale, cool toned yellow is very unique and I have nothing like this color in my collection any longer. Years ago I had a shade similar to this in a single from Coastal Scents, which is no longer. A pale yellow that doesn't pull too gold or orange or strong, warm yellow is very hard to find! Beyond this one shade, the palette has a similar vibe to LILA. I'm in love with that one and don't feel a need to break up with her for the new girl. Lol

[@andreabelec7852]

I LOVE PASTELS! But for me my Glamlite Ice cream dream is the perfect palette and I do not need another. But I love light pastel looks with no depth in spring/summer. It's so pretty and flirty with lots of mascara. It does look like a gorgeous palette.
