theBalm Nude 'Tude Eyeshadow Palette

Today I will be showing you my Nude 'tude Eyeshadow Palette from theBalm Cosmetics.  It's available on theBalm's website for $36.  It has also been featured on HauteLook for $18, which is half the price.  I picked mine up on HauteLook a few months ago.

Nude 'Tude has the same sturdy (I want to call it cardboard) packaging that a lot of theBalm blushes, bronzers and eye shadows come in.

The back of the palette shows all of the eyeshadow shades and color names.

 The palette comes in a sleeve.

The is the "Feeling Naughty" version of the palette.  The "Feeling Nice" version doesn't have the girls on the inside.  It has a small, double-ended eyeshadow brush, but I prefer to use a fluffier, softer brush.

Here are close ups of the eyeshadows.

 

These swatches have been applied with a make-up brush.

The darker colors proved to be very difficult to swatch.  I typically use my finger to do swatches, and this is what I ended up with.  They applied much smoother with a brush.

This is a nice selection of colors, but for some reason, I never reach for this palette.  I probably wouldn't rebuy it, because I think there are better eyeshadow palettes out there.  I love theBalm's face products, but I'm not sold on their eyeshadows yet.
