Sephora Moonshdow Baked Palette Review!

Sephora Moon Baked

Hi readers!  Hope you all had a great weekend.  I have a full day at IDI today, taking a class on acids, peels, and exfoliation (super excited!) but I wanted to leave you with a review on the Sephora Moonshadows.  I bought this palette about two months ago and what drew me in initially were the colors and the price, about $12 after a few discounts.

Sephora Moon Baked (inside)Once you open the palette, there’s a mirror on top and 10 gorgeous colors below. All colors have shimmer so if you’re looking for matte colors, this palette might not be for you.   The colors as pictured above from left to right:

Peru: Olive green with gold shimmer

Belize: Red/orange bronze

Barbados: Peach

Seychelles: Peach with a gold undertone

St. Vincent: Frosty white

Grenada: Purple with tiny flecks of silver

Bermuda: Lilac

Fiji: Lilac with a lot of silver strewn in

Martinique: Liquified gold

St. Lucia: Shimmery cream

The majority of the colors are nicely pigmented and blend easily, however, if you want the colors to really pop, using the shadows wet is key.  Below are swatches of all the colors, both wet and dry.

As you can see in some colors, wetting the shadows really brings out the nuances.

Pros

Majority are nicely pigmented

Can be used wet or dry

Blend easily

Can be used to create subtle or dramatic looks

Cons

There’s quite a bit of fallout when you apply the shadow and it also gets all over the palette

No matte colors that can be used as blending/transition shades

A few shades take a few swipes to develop a good color pay off

This palette is Limited Edition

Bottom Line: If you’re looking for pretty, shimmery but not overly glitter eyeshadows, you can’t go wrong with this one.  Although this particular palette was limited edition, Sephora has some other great baked shadow palettes and I hope this gave you some insight into what to expect from these 🙂

Thanks for reading and if you have any questions let me know. 🙂

  1. I actually thought about getting this when I saw it on sale. It looks very pretty, I have so many eyeshadows I decided not to buy it. I really like the colors though wet vs dry, the wet seems to have a lot more body to the shadow, there’s definitely a big difference. Great review!

    • Thank you Karen! They are beautiful. I think one of my faves has to be the gold. Check the sale section of Sephora often- sometimes they put them on sale 🙂

      • Will do Stephie – they really are gorgeous, I’m struggling to pick a fav swatch as they’re all so beautiful. Will keep an eye on Sephora 🙂 X

  7. What a pretty palette! I love them dry and wet, but Grenada, Bermuda, Fiji, Martinique, St. Lucia wet are my faves. Great review! xoxo Janet

    • Hopefully they still have this one as it was limited edition. They have other similar palettes that look just as good though. 🙂 Also, check Sephora’s sale section online as they sometimes have amazing deals. 🙂
