Juvia's Place The Nubian Palette!
I've always been a fan of neutral palettes, and one day I happened to see this palette on Instagram and fell in love! Juvia's Place, owned by Chichi Eburu, is an online brand that launched a little over 2 years ago. It sells single eyeshadows, palettes, makeup brushes, and eyelashes.This particular palette retails for $35 USD but is on sale for $23.50 and can be found here. Unfortunately the palette is sold out because of the traffic to their website from the newest video from NikkieTutorials, where she raves about this palette along with her other favorites of the month.
There are 12 gorgeous shades inspired by an African Empire in old Egypt headed by Nefertiti. They are designed to work well together with a mixture of golds, coppers, mattes and shimmers as shown below.Packaging:The palette comes in a standard cardboard material. The color of the packaging also matches the box it comes in. It's not low quality but it's not as high of a quality as other palettes. This is not a deal breaker for me because the palette itself is beautiful. But I would prefer to have a mirror instead of a second image of the Egyptian Queen inside of the palette. This would have made it perfect for traveling. I also noticed that there is a slight artificial smell to my palette when I received it in the mail. This may be an issue if you are sensitive to certain scents.
Eyeshadow Quality:
The eyeshadows in this palette are extremely pigmented! I am not exaggerating when I say that the quality can be compared to big brands such as Anastasia Beverly Hills. The swatches below were done with one swipe and without a primer. The colors are very unique because when swatched some of the lighter shades are dual chromed, and the darker shades are perfect to deepen the outer corners or create a smokey eye. There are also some medium tones in the palette that are perfect for blending!
Swatches:
I highly recommend purchasing this palette when it is back in stock. It's extremely affordable, has a great shade range, and the quality is absolutely amazing!I have only had this palette for a few days, and I can already tell that this will be one of my go to's in my makeup collection and I can't wait to try the other palettes from this brand!
