Natasha Denona Love Cheek & Eye Palette

Love

The Natasha Denona Love Face Palette is a new, presumably permanent palette including five eyeshadows, one cream blush, and one powder highlighter. The cheek products also include a little, plastic cap that keeps particles out of the cream blush, which is always a wonderful touch. Apart for Esme, which I found weirdly stiff/firm and thinner compared to the majority of the brand’s matte eyeshadows, the eyeshadows were great to work with overall. The crème blush and highlighter both worked as intended.
