So, How Are We All Feeling About This New ND Palette?!? Circo Loco Palette & What I'm Using Instead!

[@helpfulnhappy]

The palette looks like a Rubik's cube with some extra shades added! 😄

[@elle6429]

Lol 😂

[@mariamarin9178]

YES! I thought it looked familiar.

[@heinztomatosauce]

This palette does the same thing to my brain that the big Norvina palettes do, like so many uncohesive colours thrown together but somehow still managing to have shades that look the same??? Also something about the oranges really irritates me and I'm not sure why lol

[@flincoln]

100% agree with everything you said. The palette is like 50% blue, there's 2 identical oranges, and unless you're super skilled at makeup and have giant eyelids, nothing's going to blend well together. On top of that it's $129... definitely a no from me.

[@MoonlitSunflower]

Yes! Why?

[@11lizgoodall]

It does feel Iike one of those giant unorganized palettes! It doesn't speak to me at all.

[@atavistic_instinct3153]

I thought the same. I'm sure, the most of us have all this colours, and i think, i have all this colours in a very good quality too. Mostly the Norvina palettes. So, there is no real ''want'' in this mess :) Although i love ND and would buy quite anything from her...

[@aprilpeach929]

Maybe the oranges are to bright? 🤔 I really love the upper half with those pastel colors in cotton candy and mint and then adding the vibrant purples and pinks but the other half really bothers me, not a fan of the dark blue either. I would love to see the very light shimmer shades in her 5 pan palettes

[@Impassion]

It's not for me, personally. I feel like it's missing a few shades that would help to tie some of those jewel tones together. Anyone who bought Club Nebula probably won't need it.

[@SchwallySells]

I'm VERY into Club Nebula, and for some reason (in addition to the price), I actually think this palette is not my aesthetic. I think if you had deeper skin, hell yes. Me? Weirdly, because I love colors, it seems...like a jumble? It just doesn't have the nuance I kind of am gravitating toward lately.

[@Impassion]

@@SchwallySells I agree with you on the ‘jumble.’ Like with Club Nebula, I can see a look - crease shade, outer corner deepening shade, topper, inner corner. Whether it’s a blue look or a purple look or a combo of colors. I don’t see that in the ND palette.

[@berelinde]

That's a great comparison. Club Nebula seems to have been designed with a few "cheat codes" built in. You can go wild and build a random look if you want to, but if you aren't quite as daring with color, there are a few "safe" combinations right there at the end of your brush. You've got a blue-green peacock eye, an apricot-red sultry eye, and a soft, sophisticated purple-silver look you can fall back on with maximum payoff for minimal fuss. With this, if you're going to build a look at all, you're going to have to pull some kind of crazy freestyle thing out of thin air and I don't know if I'm that confident. So I'll stick with Club Nebula and look fantastic.

[@Creamy_Goodness]

Natasha really loves her oranges. Metropolis was like 30 percent orange. The issue with this palette is that it's very disjointed, not cohesive at all.

[@pisangkepok]

She does! Including repeated gold and copper

[@lilacmood9003]

I agree , but I think this palette is more artistic than a consumer friendly which is something new from Natasha Denona! I get your point though! Personally I do crazy colorful blown out looks every time I do my makeup ( aka everyday lol ) so that could be my 1st ND palette! But I actually won't buy it lol 😂

[@g1ng3rsn4ps]

@@lilacmood9003 agreed!

[@Seb61709]

Yeh this palette screams SHE DOESNT EVEN GO HERE to my makeup skills 🤣

[@quintecence]

I'm sick of getting orange eyeshadow in every pallet. I'm a medium skin tone with strong olive undertones so orange just washes me out and makes me look sick 🙃

[@GeeSmith333]

It feels like a cool toned rainbow. I can see so many color ways when I look at it. I think I felt like this is the most me palette she's ever made. If it ever hits the 50% off I will probably snatch it up.

[@AnnettesMakeupCorner]

Im 100% getting this palette and im super excited to play with it 😁

[@quailypoes]

And I will totes watch any videos you make with it!

[@misty1144]

Can’t wait to se all the looks you will create Annette ! 👍🏻🔥😍 Mine is on the way, ordered from Beautylish and it’s coming tomorrow( unbelievable, I live in Denmark 🇩🇰) that’s fast! Omg so exited! 🔥🤩

[@bearfangmedia]

Agree with the people saying Club Nebula seems like a better version of the saturated color story

[@jamiecrucefix4078]

This palette gives my Venetian maskarade vibes with harlequins.

[@melissabean9747]

Absolutely off topic, but would you be willing to do a tutorial on how you do your hair like that? I keep going back and forth between your hair and your makeup!

[@lindaleck1309]

I am a newby at 57 to makeup. Never really had the desire to wear it. The funny thing is, this is the first palette that "talks" to me. I have not understood what that meant until I saw this. Who would have thought.

[@becm963]

I find that I don’t wear bright colors that often. I have learned the hard way that paying $129 for a colorful palette doesn’t make sense for my lifestyle. I purchased the Pat McGrath Mega Mothership Celestial Divinity palette. I wore it one time in a month. The use value is not there. I ended up giving it to my son’s girlfriend. I will spend my money on neutrals. I purchased the BH Cosmetics Naughty palette for $12. That is my colorful palette. I have the Juvia’s Place Magic Mini. I have the Abh Jackie Aina palette. I purchased the UOMA Beauty Carnival Color palette for half off.

[@pantherwest3369]

I love color but looking at this palette gives me nothing - I know people say that the ND palettes have a "quad system," but I am not inspired by any of the quads I could pick from this palette. I feel like the Kaleidos Club Nebula palette is a really good example of something that has jewel tones but also complimentary shades so that I have clear ideas of color combinations I can use when I look at it.

[@godzandheros]

It's not a quad system, it's grid system and are meant to be used in rows of three either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. I think that may help if you look at it that way instead of in quads :)

[@PamelaH_HappyVibes]

I appreciate that you are offering alternative choices. This is an awesome idea for your series.

[@mairino7799]

As someone who lives in Vegas I love the theme, but I don’t like orange, so this is a pass. Like why are there two oranges that look almost identical in a palette this expensive?

[@isawhat8712]

I feel like those two orange shades are out of place in this color story. If those had been replaced with some transition shades I think it would've made this palette more workable.

[@Impassion]

Accurate assessment. Plus the two orange shades are nearly identical. The fact that they're different finishes isn't enough for me.

[@daisycate]

Anyone else like the packaging better than the palette?

[@cmef526]

I really enjoy these videos when you discuss your way through a pallette possibility and what you could use instead. It always gets me thinking about all the beautiful makeup I already own. Also adorable hair!!

[@Icefierastar]

This palette + the trio chrome palette would make stunning looks together. Too bad the combo’s almost $300, and there’s other Natasha stuff that interests me more, if I was going to pick anything up at all

[@peachyk7554]

I was thinking the SAME thing! I think im gonna splurge and just get both and just buy no other shadows till next year.

[@sweetyft]

It looks like it could be fantastic for deeper skin tones.

[@Stefistat]

I love the deeper tones. Especially for darker complexions. Love this palette. 💕 plus I own so many of her palettes I can use this in conjunction with my other ND palettes

[@silverspringsifayefaye866]

I love the bright colours! It reminds me of the makeup In the 80’s. I love Natasha’s formula, so I’ll personally be ordering it.

[@danarose7644]

I have gotten super into colorful eyeshadow lately but something about the color story of this palette just doesn’t do anything for me. You’re so right with the comparison to Juvia’s Place though! I feel like they do this type of color story way better and at a WAY better price!

[@carolinalopez1761]

I would absolutely buy your version of the pallete. I love this series you do it’s so satisfying and your collection is incredible! Take care and thanks for helping me get through this pandemic, continue to stay safe!

[@bunnyluuuvvv]

Im loving the hair and outfit today, so pretty!!! Not sure how i feel about the palette though, i like the pops of color but the colors seem like they’re all over the place

[@berelinde]

Yeah, file it under "Not my journey." I need a more cohesive color story to fire up my creativity, and this isn't doing it.

[@alexisstagg2964]

Hey Lauren this is just an idea you might have done this already, I think it would be so cool if you did a dupe that palette for a palette you know you are getting but before you get it and then compare... idk if that makes sense, but love your content and all the awesome shadows 😍

[@iamabutterflychaser]

This is a cool idea! I hope she sees this!

[@marymack3276]

This was SO fun to watch. I really loved watching you make your own palette!

[@christyfielding7498]

I'm with you I just don't get this palette. It kinda hurts my brain 😆

[@lauracompton8191]

i love this kind of video. It’s so fun to see what you choose. i love playing with my singles too, swapping them around for different seasons and moods. Thanks!

[@ManchirTserendagva]

Not a brave colour wearer. So I will just appreciate this palette from afar

[@faerie_waters]

I'm living for your bohemian velvet, medieval stained glass palette - the look you created is SO beautiful! Honestly, I think the orange you chose may be more flattering on the skin and I love the sparkle! Also, your buns and top are the cutest and look so sweet with the eye look! 🧡 I appreciate this "series" so much! Such a healthy and creative approach!

[@iamabutterflychaser]

I can appreciate this palette for how pretty it is, but I feel the same about it not being “my color story” and being confused about how exactly I would use it. I have also never spent that much on an eyeshadow palette and can’t imagine doing it anytime soon. I love watching your duping videos, Lauren!

[@spoonfulofmakeup3007]

The colors and the packaging are giving me big Easter vibes!!! Even the “leak” could be an “Easter egg”... wonder if we’ll see this release sooner rather than later 🧐

[@catfacexkillah]

I've seen a few people here on KZbin already have their hands on it .. including swatches, those silver shades are icy blue and a lilac color. They look stunning, I want it, but definitely don't need it. The first ND palette to speak to me really.

[@sweetyft]

Do you remember who reviewed it?

[@catfacexkillah]

@@sweetyft Christina Brooke and Anna Reid Lifestyle, two I have never heard of but saw them play with the palette.

[@quailypoes]

I haven't seen those videos yet but have to say I really like the look of this palette! Definitely looks inspiring to me! Too expensive for me but still, gorgeous palette

[@catfacexkillah]

@@quailypoes I kept seeing them pop up on my recommendations and was so confused as to how! So I watched. Definitely people I have never heard of before.

[@sweetyft]

@@catfacexkillah Thank you!

[@lilacmood9003]

My first thought was : that would be a great one paired with safari palette! My second thought was : it gives me the juvia's place Magic pallette vibes! Minus the lighter shades & the hot purple pink color ! And no I won't buy it , I'm always attracted to LILA & GOLD but I couldn't pay that much ! I'll collect dome extra singles from a couple of brands to add texture to my magic palette & use the circo Loco as inspiration for my looks , speaking of looks 😂😂 I love how you did a peachy look from a jewels toned palette, TRUE LAUREN's FASHION 😍😍😍 if possible I would like to see how you would a look with the second column! OR more looks with your palette! 💥💜💜

[@janiegirly07]

I love your dupe videos! this is so fun and i love the idea of shopping what u own

[@maddie4190]

I thought this palette was so pretty, but I don’t think I would have been able to come up with any looks I loved if I owned it. I think the colors are just really pretty together, like appealing to the eye, for me. I’m just not super creative 😂

[@TrinaMadeIt]

I'm glad you said how you actually felt about the pallet. I feel the same. The colours are beautiful but my brain doesn't make sense of it. I can't see cohesive looks with it.

[@VioletPollux]

I get sooo satisfied with this series of yours, I don't know why. Just love it so much!

[@MoonlitSunflower]

I'm a big fan of duping the vibes and I love this style if video. I have not been inspired by this palette. I suppose the orange may pair better with the plum than I originally thought. The gold would go well with the plum shade and the purples. I think the pastel blue and teal shimmer would make a nice two shadow look. I'm curious about the performance of Natasha's purple and that's about it for me.

[@JackieGreeneBeauty]

Great idea! I am going to recreate from my singles too!

[@michmash7888]

This palette has many beautiful colors-it could be a great palette for a piece of abstract art-but for eye shadow, it’s tricky. If you don’t like orange, 1/3 of the palette is out, and if you don’t like dark purple/blue, that’s 4 pans of the 15 out. And except for the peachy shade in the corner, there’s not really a transition shade. I wouldn’t buy it...ND’s out of my price range anyway...but I surely would consider adding some of those color pops to my usual routine! I very much appreciate how you make us think about what qualities of a shadow-it’s hue or level of brightness or sheen-make it play nice with the other colors. I feel like I learn something new to appreciate from some of my current palettes and I appreciate it a lot. It must take you a lot more work to make these “dupe” palettes than just a normal review, so thank you for helping us learn about color options and to be better consumers!!!

[@michaelaglenn5966]

I've always wanted to try a ND eyeshadow palette but I am so frugal I can't bring myself to buy one. If this had been the $65 sized palette I might have bought it. Definitely not for $129! You have some of the best dupe videos out there 😍

[@catfacexkillah]

Love what you ended up choosing for your dupe palette!

[@ReaganIvie]

I was going through watching all my favorite youtubers. I came to your page and decided to eat dinner before watching your latest video. When I came back from eating you had a new upload!! I was so excited about being so early I decided to watch this one first lol! Sending love xoxo

[@laurenthomas4213]

I’m so impressed with your palette-making and your eye look!!

[@GillenMeg]

Lauren you should include this palette the next time you do one of the “art of the edit” videos! I’m happy ND is doing more color, but this palette is too all over the place for me.

[@BeckyLovesKanga]

I can’t believe I didn’t even think about my Juvia’s Place Magic Mini palette when I saw the ND palette, which I definitely wanted. I’m so glad you said that because it’s just another reason why I don’t need to spend the $129

[@Tracylyn42]

Your palettes are always better to me. I love to see what you come up with. And I can see the colors with your description of it. Bohemian renaissance lol stained glass. Perfect 😍

[@jessicastakes-upshaw9575]

It caught my eye..it’s definitely something else. I love gaudy things though so... also-a few people have swatches on YT and weirdly enough, the colors swatched out make more sense to me.

[@lavendermystic]

I love your eye look today! that yellow inner corner gives me vibes! 😍

[@lanaesworld6976]

I just got an amazing order of a ton of beautiful singles from bernovich. There sparkle shadows are so beautiful and THERE NOT PRESSED GLITTER!! And I got two empty pallets and like 35 shadows for 130 bucks and that's with shipping from russia. Sooo beautiful. There matte shadows are beautiful also

[@hellotrude]

No mainstream compares to Indie for me. Indie is where it’s at. I’ve not used Bernovich but I have around 60 from GlamShop_PL and I’ve heard they’re basically the same. They are STUNNING! Much better than any of my large ND palettes. I’ll stick with Indie 👌🙌😉

[@kadipaige3486]

Me too! I got my Bernovich sparkle shades today, they are so pretty. Just as nice as my Devinah and Clionadh and the shipping was relatively fast.

[@blackathena1565]

If this was one of her $65 pallets it world be a maybe BUT I immediately thought of the TF Chocolate Gold as a shimmer/metallic companion. But you could pick pick singles you want and get the same vibe... It's for someone but just not me

[@BelleStreetBoyz]

I freaking love your beefed out version at the end!! 💜🙌🏻 That's so pretty and fun, and way better than the original. And your look came out beautiful! 🌻 Thank you so much for sharing. These are my favorite videos you do.

[@CreaNedda1]

Loved this video, thank you! I know I’m late to the game, but just want to say that the Jolina palette from Lethal has so many shades similar to the Circo Loco. At least 7 shades would be great dupes, and the overall vibe is sooo similar. I got inspired by you and will play more with the Jolina palette now!

[@vasiliaf.8871]

I think that, although this palette is very pretty, it is muddy eye look waiting to happen with this selection of mattes🤔

[@PriscillaPixels]

I LOVE your final version! And that it cost $free.50

[@elizagarcia9708]

Had a feeling you were coming on today! Super made my day ❤️

[@Mrs._.GalaxyWanderer]

It reminds me of ABH’s Subculture palette a little in the way that has bold colors that are organized in a less cohesive way. The colors are nice but I feel like some jewel tones are missing. Those two oranges and purples look too similar for me. I feel Subculture had a little more neutral colors than this new ND palette. Think those people who missed Subculture might be interested in this but that price point will make it difficult to decide on buying it.

[@KateLB1027]

I love that ND is branching out; love seeing new and exciting color stories! I may pass if it’s not a midi. I would love to see a mini color story of this!

[@jamiecrucefix4078]

[@juliaridley75]

The whole time watching this video the palette was reminding me of something I couldn't quite place... now I realize it was the Urban Decay Alice Through the Looking Glass palette from a few years back! Same bright coppery oranges, deep blues/greens/purples, and silvers. Funny how similar color stories can pop back up!

[@serotoninandtea]

Thank you for the tutorial. I am a makeup newbie and i love eyeshadow, and I think we have very similar eyes so it helps to see how you do your eyes. I still like to add eyeliner wings to my eyes but I like how you do your eyes without them.

P.S. love your Makeup Aesthetic..Magical

[@rabbiroz3806]

I keep going back and forth on whether or not to get it, but I probably will. But I will definitely use it as a companion palette, or like singles, which I actually do with lots and lots of my shadows (Clionadh, Terra Moons, Devinah, Shine by SD . . . ) and other palettes (Adept’s Play Jane and Nyandrin, the It’s Bel palette, and also the Companion Palette . . . ).

[@TheJordandean]

This is my favorite series of yours. I find it mesmerizing 😂.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

I won't be picking up the ND palette. Love what you did there with your singles - you so inspired me to invest in singles so I purchased a bunch from Looxi and an even bigger bunch from Glam Shop (they're easier and cheaper for me to get from the EU as I'm in the UK) - honestly, I don't know if I'll ever buy another actual palette again!

@@Shazbetg I loved it I only got rid of it like 2019🤦🏻‍♀️

[@realtalk13]

as a singular palette, the color story is a bit disjointed but as a part of the ND range, I think it makes sense. there are so many neutral/transition shades in so many of ND's other releases and if I'm someone who buys ND palettes and plan on spending another $129 for this one, I wouldn't want repeats. That said, the orange shades in this palette feel too close to be in the same palette. Easily could've replaced with a matte yellow or jade green or even a black

[@karencorban607]

This palette is just too cray cray colour wise and one I most def done need on my collection

[@bbberlin]

I really hope someday soon you get to collaborate with an indie brand to make a palette or collection. Love these videos and your vision for makeup, aesthetic, and imagery.

[@godzandheros]

I'm not sure I've mentioned this before, but Natasha specifically arranges her palettes in a grid format where you can easily get looks by choosing a row of three to work with either horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. After working with her palettes for some time now, my brain automatically looks at palettes that way and I really understand colour stories better now *cough Norvina 4 cough* But it really helps if you train your brain to immediately start looking at colour stories in a grid like way. edit: i see you got there on your own now haha edit 2: I love your one to one dupe +! I did that too this month but with the JS blood money palette (because we do not stan here) and then kept adding to it and omg I LOVE working with it, it's so much fun. edit 3: (lol so many edits haha) but how was depotting the Violet Voss palettes? I have one I want to depot and kind of tested it a bit and seemed like it could go bad really quick

[@sistinas88]

This palette is so beautiful 🧡💙 the colours are very complimentary imo. I want it! But I wish it were a 65 dollar palette. I might buy it if it goes on sale.

[@Creamy_Goodness]

I agree that this palette takes after the Juvia's Place palettes.

[@cherishsimplicity2770]

Great vid! Beautiful look and ur palette looks so fun!

[@rachelsherr6581]

seeing your expanded edit at the end makes me think that this color story would have really sung in the $129 format with the midi pans! (like Metropolis) I liked both of your versions better than the ND palette, because they seemed more playful - there was something deadened and flat about all of those corresponding pairs of mattes and shimmers in the same shade in the original.

[@vegasa2067]

I was weak and bought this during the beautylish gift card event. Anyway I did your look with the palette and it was gorgeous!

[@tamarblackburn4312]

I feel like it’s going to look very pretty on darker skintones especially

[@robingoblin]

I’m so inspired by the beefed-up palette you created! (I’m lucky that the ND palette doesn’t inspire me nearly as much as your bohemian stained glass-I’m realizing just how much I can get suckered into when there is any kind of lime color included 🤪)

[@mi-land854]

Video series idea: i love seeing you use your single shadows in different ways, so I think a great series would be dedicating a week every month (or 5 or 4 days a month) to doing a single shadows bingo. You could create an Excel file with all of your single shadows, let an app or google choose 5 or so different numbers every day for a week and then use the corresponding shadows that day to create a look. It would be a great way to use some maybe more neglected shadows and to create fun looks with colourstories you would never try on your own!

[@MonLis76]

For me, I think this palette will need another palette to make a look... I probably won’t use only these colors on my eyes at a time. 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s certainly beautiful and alluring 🤩

[@kadipaige3486]

I saw a video reviewing the palette and the shades swatch so different than they look in the pan, the 2 silver shades are really light blue and light lilac and many of the dark mattes swatch a lot brighter/lighter.

[@Julzableful]

No pressure but when I saw the promo pics the first thing I thought was 'I wonder what Lauren will think...' haha love your vids, gal!

[@Samisnotavailable]

This was a fun video and like you said I can't wait to see was the marketing looks like for this! I probably won't end up picking it up unless I can get it on a way good deal even though for some reason my makeup goblin LOVES ND 😂 I have the love, tropic, triochrome, and the boxycharm exclusive mini. And I treasure them so much. I can do a basic look and the mattes esp last until the end of my physically strenuous work day and my 3mi bike to work. I'm trying to talk myself out of this because I know I have a lot of the shades elsewhere in my collection and a lot of those deeper colors I won't use enough to justify. But I LOVE the packaging and I love that you can pop the shadows out and rearrange them. That's definitely one big thing that gets me about ND over say PMG if we're talking expensive palettes.

[@CrippledChaosClown]

I have to admit I own a few Natasha Denona palettes from the £24 mini five pans to the £120 larger palettes and everything inbetween, this new Circo Loco palette is calling my name. I've been really good at lowering the amount I spend on makeup so I'm allowed one overpriced purchase lol. xAndyx
