Meet Matte Nude

sdfsdfsdfsdfgdfsgsfgsdf

Bonjour tout le monde!!

I truly hope you're doing well, and I hope everyone had a good new years and got to celebrate with people they care about. 

It is just past 4am U.S. Pacific time where I am right now, and to be honest I'm trying to sober up after a new years drinking game that kind of got out of hand. 

Don't judge me: Girls just wanna have fun ya'll. 

I just thought what better way to commemorate not just the new year, but a year some never thought would come, than with a blog post?

Meet Matt(e) is back!!

No! Not that Matt. 

These Matt(e)s

YUMM...

This post is devoted to the launch of the new palette that The Balm cosmetics will be releasing on January 15th of the new year as part of their spring collection. 

I cannot give a full review on this product as it has not been released yet, and I (sadly) was not chosen as one of the lucky few to have been sent a palette early to review. All I can do is give you the heads up so you can consider investing in it for yourselves. 

This palette : Meet Matt(e) Nude is like a sequel to the original Meet Matt(e) palette. 

Like its predecessor, Meet Matte(e) Nude is full of nine 100% matte shadows. The two major differences that you'll see right of the bat is 1) The shadows are more neutral in nature and 2) The shadows are much bigger than the ones in the first Meet Matt(e). 

-Don't quote me on this one but it almost looks like you'd be getting twice the product, or at least one and a half times the product, as you'd be getting with the original. According to the Balm:

 "Size does matt(e)r."  

The nine shades are:

Matt Johnson

Matt Garcia

Matt Malloy

Matt Rosen

Matt Wood 

Matt Singh

Matt Abdul

Matt Lombardi

Matt Hung

Like nearly all matte palettes, this palette is not targeted towards any one kind of person (to the contrary matte shades are not for the faint of heart) but for a range of people. Since mattes are as neutral as you can get, and they work on anyone and everyone.

 Just from looking at this palette I can tell that there is a nice mix of warm and cool shades that  will work for people who like ultra neutral looks. This would also do well to compliment any other palette filled with color and shimmer as well as single shadows. 

When considering this palette, you have to compare it to the original Meet Matt(e), the Naked Basics, and the Sonia Kashuk Eye on Neutral because they are all similar in what they are trying to accomplish. Perhaps this is The Balm's answer to Urban Decay's Naked Basics. The only downside I can foresee is the price point. 

Sonia Kashuk Eye on Neutral - $19.99
Naked Basics - $27

This palette will retail for $42.
