Hello AB community,

    This is my last post on the ETUDE Replay collection. This is the third palette called Secret Cake Box. I tried to take good pics but keep in mind the natural light is really not good in my country during the winter. It has been raining for days 😅

    *Packaging :*
    The tapes are thicker than most plastic palettes I own. They feel very sturdy and are very pretty. They’re not too difficult to open even though my nails are a bit too long at the moment. I like that they fit perfectly in the palm of my hand.

    *Colors :*
    Pink Beige : very nice neutral shade. I find it extremely flattering and natural on my skintone because its basically the color of my bare lips 🙂
    Rose Blending Tea : slightly warmer deeper shade with rose/gold shimmer.I personally prefer matte shades that are strictly matte but I can use it just fine because it’s extremely subtle and the shimmer doesn’t impact the pigmentation.
    Secret Cake Box : when I first swatched it I thought it was almost identical to Cherry Coke in the Legendary Taro Cherry palette, but they’re actually different. This one is slightly more opaque and has gold/copper shimmer, not purple glitter.
    Sweet Potato Chip : very cool toned brown. It’s more muted and cool toned than the darkest shade in LTC.

    (I’ll compare the browns and glitters in the comments)

    *Overall :* I was scared this would be too warm on me but I was dead wrong. They’re very natural soft colors that would suit a lot of people. Only thing missing is a highlight shade 🙂
    They’re not very long-lasting but they’re easy to work with with a good primer.
    Also, I find that I can use almost all shades on their own for a very simple eye look. This is a very good palette for everyday looks with not a lot of depth.

    Until next time 😎
