EOTD - The Emily Edit: The Wants eyeshadow palette, by Emily Noel x Revolution...

I wanted to take some of the neutral shades in The Wants for a spin today, as I've been using this palette a fair few times over the past month, but have always gone for the berry or green tones (the looks I did were very similar to my already-chosen December EOTD posts, so I didn't bother with photos & notes for more EOTD entries). 

I always gravitate towards the berry, purple or greens when I open this palette outside of the testing period tbh, so I'm taking a fresh approach with this palette for the new year, by using the shades I ignore the most...

Are reboots always worse? [reviewing the Rose Gold Remastered eyeshadow palette]·

I had no plans to ever try the Rose Gold Remastered eyeshadow palette, as I had the original Textured Rose Gold palette and disliked it so much that I gave it away without testing it enough for a review on this blog [I got it after learning that it was being discontinued, so didn't think it was worth struggling with just for the sake of a needless blog post] - the formulas of the shadows just didn't play well with my chemistry and hooded eyes.  Plus; re-releasing a limited edition item is kind of a cheat move. Right?



However... Feel Unique had the palette for 35% off over the '19 Black Friday weekend, plus I got another 10% off as Huda Beauty is my 'brand for life' AND I also had just earned a £5 gift voucher in their reward club, so in the end, I just couldn't resist buying it, as it worked out at £27 for me.

So; have the newer formulas improved my negative feelings towards a pretty colour story in the brand's crappy original formulations, or should they and I have both left this palette in the past?
