I've never known an eyeshadow palette to be restocked and then sell out as quickly as the Morphe 35O Eyeshadow Palette. But just look at it in all it's orange toned glory, it's seriously stunning - no wonder it's a sell out! So after months of eagerly awaiting, as soon as it came back in stock it was a race to the checkout... And yes, I didn't need it, but I wanted it and I can confirm it was well worth the wait.
Firstly, there are no bells and whistles when it comes to the packaging. It's black, sleek, thin, lightweight and plastic. And it's HUGE, housing a whopping 35 eyeshadows. The palette has an array of versatile, wearable-warm toned neutrals, from champagne nude, copper, mocha, rust, bronze, peachy-apricots and dark chocolate - a few of which are dupes for MAC and Makeup Geek eyeshadows. And the variety of finishes from matte, shimmer, satin, metallic and even duochrome, quite possibly put it in the running as the perfect autumnal eyeshadow palette.
I was pleasantly surprised by the formula considering its price point. As although the texture is not uniform and a few of the eyeshadows perform better than others the mattes aren't streaky or uneven, the foiled shades although prone to a little fallout, are intense and arguably just as creamy and pigmented as my Makeup Geek Foiled Eyeshadows. And they have good longevity especially when worn with a primer and blend well.
My only gripe with the Morphe 35O Eyeshadow Palette is the lack of a matte black and I really dislike the fact the eyeshadows are not named, or even numbered. But petty critiques aside, if you're a fan of warm toned eyeshadows and fancy bagging yourself a bargain at £18.25 there's really no justification needed, as that's just a mere 52 pence per eyeshadow! However, it's currently sold out. But no worries, it's a permanent palette and thankfully Morphe is no longer horrendously hard to find in the UK and stocked online at: Cult Beauty (£20.75), Beauty Bay (£18.25) and Beauty Chamber (£22.95).
