NEW Maybelline The SMOKES 12 Pan Eyeshadow Palette Swatches and Pictures!























PRICE & LOCATION
I picked mine up at Walgreens for $12.49 (overpriced, I know, but I didn't see it anywhere else and really really wanted it and also really wanted to put up this blog post for you guys!)


THE SHADES

























1 - dark matte teal
2 - lavender taupe grey with subtle glitter
3 - matte black with glitter, does not come off perfectly black, but more like charcoal
4 - salmon toned champagne shimmer
5 - dark plum with a matte base, maybe some tiny glitter
6 - medium grey/silver shimmer





























7 - warm medium brown (a repeat from the NUDES  palette from last summer) *(see more pics below)
8 - champagne shimmer (very similar to #4, too similar IMO) *(see more pics below)
9 - medium/dark grey/silver/taupe (my favorite by first impression)
10 - light silver shimmer
11 - dark matte indigo with subtle shimmer
12 - light matte pink


COMPARED TO "THE NUDES"





#11 in Nudes, #4 & #8 in Smokes are all champagne colors that are too similar in my personal opinion.
#8 more coral
#4 S between pink and coral
#11 N more pink




#8 N & #7 S are both medium warm browns that look identical to me.

What are your thoughts on this palette? Have you seen it around yet? Do you have it or are you planning to pick it up? Let me know!

Thanks for reading!
Love,
Alaina
