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.
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. 🙂
