This company is a black owned makeup brand ( which as a black woman deeply resonates with me!) and offers some amazing beauty products that have been raved about by all of your favorite bloggers (Kathleenlights and Nikkietutorials just to name a few). My personal journey with the brand began a few months ago when I saw that they were on Hautelook (see more info here) and had all of their current eye shadow palettes on sale for 19 dollars. Since we all know I love a good sale, I immediately picked up two of the palettes that I had been drawn to because of the color schemes and all of the good things that I had been hearing about the brand. I just had to see if they lived up to the hype.

With that being said, if you are looking for the perfect eye shadow palette for the summer, look no further than the Juvia's Place Masquerade palette. It combines gorgeous warm  neutrals with extremely  vibrant cool pops of colors. This has been my go to palette when I want to be extra, but the real question is how does it perform?

It retails for $35 for the full size  and features 16 very large pans that are close to the size of the Makeup Forever single shadow pans. There is seriously 2.03 oz of product in the baby, which is a huge amount for a palette.  Another good thing about this palette is that it is offered in a mini size that retails for $28 on the Juvia's Place website. I purchased mine for 19 dollars, but they are always on sale on the Juvia's Place website and there are also a bunch of affiliate codes floating around.

As you can see from the swatches, the pigmentation on these are A+! My favorite shade is Casablanca and I also love Zola a lot. The shimmers in this palette are absolutely  to die for. They offer opacity with one swipe and apply good with  fingers and a flat packing brush.
I love the mattes in this palette too, but I feel like the two browns Burkina and Fulani as well as the warmer transition shades Zula and Ada look really similar on the eye. I wish there would have been a tad bit more variety in the mattes, but overall I still love the shade selection. I also think that a little goes a long way with these shadows. They build up nicel

As far as wear time, I find that these wear all day on my eye without fading. I wore the look below on a hot ass Sunday afternoon and it lasted all day and into the evening without fading or melting together as sometimes inexpensive eyeshadows tend to do.  I wore the look below all day to the Inner Harbor here in Baltimore and my look did not fade at all in the humidity.

I think that this palette would be perfect for the girl that loves her warm neutrals, but occasionally likes to dabble in color.  The price point is also really good for the amount of product you get. This has become my travel palette because I can get so much variety. It's perfect for the beach and will definitely be coming to Miami with me next month!
