Thank you so much for putting up your review as fast as you did! I had the worst case of FOMO coz I resisted from buying the Gemini palette. I bought TwentySeven though none of the colors are groundbreaking. I haven’t swatched or played with my 27 palette, but your other reviews are mostly on point so a bit of that sparkly excitement I had for this palette faded a bit.😢
I was let down! I expected crazy foils! And they work out it you have texture on your kids and wanted a softer finish. They do still have a role, BUT I was expecting more punch because it’s Melt.
kinkysweat Hi...I found the shade Vegas Past to be a light foil..you are absolutely right ,it does not have that powwww shine to it..but if ur someone who likes a subtle look then it's perfect (especially for work environment)..
I was using this palette as I was watching your video. I put Nyx glitter primer down under Crimefighter and it worked well. I’ve taken to doing this with a lot of my shimmery shades.
Since you missed Gemini, I’m so glad to see you grabbed Twenty Seven. Mine is on the way! Although seems like both MELT palettes have weak metallic shadows, I bought them for the unique mattes. Looking forward to your next demo with the other shades❣️
I’m still on the fence about getting Gemini: and the restock is today 🙈 Being Melt, I expected more. As you’ve seen their bold out there shades and textures. I feel like a got a dud 😅 because I was not expecting the foils to be this weak. I still have to try with a glitter glue.
kinkysweat Agreed! MELT shadows (esp. mattes) are among the best and the price matches the quality. For $58, I considered they might have changed the formulas. But the “palette junkie” in me started rationalizing 🤔. Hmmm....I’ve been looking for good olive/camo and mustard shadows and Gemini give me those+, AND UD Naked costs $54 (so $58 isn’t so bad), AND if I buy Gemini plus a stack for $30 during the limited edition early access holiday sale, I’ll get free shipping! Now, I ask you, how can a palette junkie say “no” to all that? As for 27, the early access limited edition Free Shipping sucked me right on in🤩
I see you did not love it. But the reasons you gave make me like it more. I like softer shimmer shadows as they don’t add texture to my mature eyes (I am 55). I love the colors and I think the look you created today will look awesome on me. Thank you for a thorough review.
And that’s a great point you made, as I used the other shades next day. And created a softer summer eye. I found when using more bold shimmers, it calls for liner or falsies. The foils here are weak, but they work out in providing a softer lid glow. And a light coat of mascara pulls it all together.
Did you pick up KL polish summer collection? This is the second color I’ve eyed on you ☺️. I’m wearing the dark orange red right now. Those mattes blended nicely! I guess those are everyday muted shimmers.... I love that downtown shade. I need a good palette with mauves like that and some taupe. Just one good cool toned palette for those odd days I’m not interested in warms.😆
Right! And yes I did by the Havana Collection and I am in love. I’ve been wearing this colors non stop. I have to get thinner for Tropicana because it’s getting goopy on me. I do appreciate how we have a choice of warms and mauves. And the mauves are still on the warm side, and appear flattering on brown skin.
I kind of want to get this pallet with the sephora sale, i have all of the natasha denona and pat pallets. Do you think there might me some similar shades to this pallet on any of those pallets or the urban decay heat pallet?
I have the 27 palette and I must admit I’m a bit underwhelmed with it. Like you said, mattes are beautiful but in my palette the foil shades are almost overflowing in their pan. It’s like they’ve risen up like when you bake bread 🍞 did you have that problem?
I was sad about those metallics! But the looks of the photos on insta, I thought we would be getting outrageously good metallics! Nope 🤣 I didn’t encounter that, but they can be loosey goosey.
I have both Gemini and 27. I bought Gemini for the greens, the metallics are really crumbly, definitely, but 27 foils are just super dull :( I bought 27 for the matte shades and luckily I'm really really enjoying them but the foils are either pressed too hard or lack pigment that is true to color. Idk :/ I don't regret picking these up but there are definitely some areas of concern for both palettes and I feel it's not with the matte shades. They are super pigmented and soft, so I could see how using a bunch of colors would "muddy" them together. I typically use about max 3 shades for an eye look so I haven't been experiencing issues with either palette muddying up.
If I see another palette with a bronze and a copper, I'mma scream. It is in all of my palettes and a lazy way to fill a palette. They could've put a duo-chrome silver-mauve for inner corner and browbone, and a muted dark pink shimmer in the palette and I would've bought it. 8 shadows for 58$ is too much since the shimmers here are useless.
I like the colors on you, but don't love it. Those colors...I can't put my finger on it, but they seem sort of.... muddy maybe?...on you. Your application was terrific as always...but Idda know about that palette.
I live for your personality!!!
🙈💕 Thank you!!!
I've now decided that when I'm feeling sad, I just need to watch you and I'll feel better :) I love your videos.
💕✨ Thank you for sharing this message 🙏🏽

I love the smoky rose you got from the palette. Very pretty.
Ty for ur honest review, I should receive my palette Teusday and now I can not be so disappointed and know what to expect with the foil shades...😘
Let me know how it goes!

Yes! I have the Gemini palette and luuuuv the olive shades!
This palette is so pretty! How amazing is that it is now available at Sephora 🤩

They say Beauty only skin deep well you are Queen above gorgeous!
💕✨🙏🏽 Thank you!!
The Gemini is coming back on July 4th! Great reviews ‼️
The alarm is SET!!!
You should have so many more subs. I am sharing your videos.
💕🙏🏽 Thank you for the support!
Mine did too! I have not had time to try it. I hope it is as good as Gemini! Now to watch

I have the twenty seven palette, and I wish that it was more richer in the deep colors.
As do I! I love the texture and how they blended, but moomchild I expected a lot more from.
I’m watching this now in 2022 and I’m just now getting this palette 😌
Did you pick up KL polish summer collection? This is the second color I’ve eyed on you ☺️. I’m wearing the dark orange red right now.
Those mattes blended nicely! I guess those are everyday muted shimmers....

AntheaToya love the color.

I want to like those Melt LE releases.. so many warm tones. not my jam. I love the Melt stacks formula. I’m here for you.
Loved this review 🖤 subscribed

Thank you for the update!! Alarm is set!! 🙈🤪🤗
Watching in 2024!!! Thanks for the review!!!!
I tried repeatedly to get the Gemini palette, but even on release date it wasn't available, even thiugh I signed up to get first dibbs!
Bah! It will be available today 3 EST. Are you still going to grab it?
kinkysweat I'm definitely gonna try.
Love the review!!!❤️
Thank you for watching!
Beyewtiful! I got palette fatigue, nothing tempts me.
Did you get Gemini yet?! I got mine yesterday! Used it today and lovenit
Good golly Ms.Kinky! 👍👍😄🎶.
The way you're colouring your face....you remind me a lot with HOT SUMMER BREEZE! Hahaha! 😄😄😄
Whoop whoop!!! 😜☀️
I have the 27 palette and I must admit I’m a bit underwhelmed with it. Like you said, mattes are beautiful but in my palette the foil shades are almost overflowing in their pan. It’s like they’ve risen up like when you bake bread 🍞 did you have that problem?

kinkysweat at least we have mother pats Metallica
I have both Gemini and 27. I bought Gemini for the greens, the metallics are really crumbly, definitely, but 27 foils are just super dull :( I bought 27 for the matte shades and luckily I'm really really enjoying them but the foils are either pressed too hard or lack pigment that is true to color. Idk :/ I don't regret picking these up but there are definitely some areas of concern for both palettes and I feel it's not with the matte shades.
They are super pigmented and soft, so I could see how using a bunch of colors would "muddy" them together. I typically use about max 3 shades for an eye look so I haven't been experiencing issues with either palette muddying up.
The 27 foils are a total let down. I was shocked. I love the mattes, but I have to be more strategic in how I combine them.
Uhm. I need an oversized hoodie that says SAWFT. Pls
I'm sad I didn't get the Gemini palette too. Although very beautiful I'm not interested in this palette, I have similar colors in my collection.
If I see another palette with a bronze and a copper, I'mma scream. It is in all of my palettes and a lazy way to fill a palette. They could've put a duo-chrome silver-mauve for inner corner and browbone, and a muted dark pink shimmer in the palette and I would've bought it. 8 shadows for 58$ is too much since the shimmers here are useless.
That’s a great suggestion! I was bummed with the foils. They looked nothing like they do in the photos 😅
I will be passing it on to my daughter, she is more your skin tone.
Something about those shades don’t build on each other well
Your earrings scared me. At first glance, I thought you deformed your ear lobes 👂😱
TiMalice2009 meee too!!!!!!😂😂
she got me too with that! lol i dont think she'd ever do that tho :)
🤣 that’s why I love them because they can deliver that look without my commitment 🤪
So bummed about the Gemini palette. Come on melt 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫
Restock today 3 EST! 12 PST!
kinkysweat thank you!
I like the colors on you, but don't love it. Those colors...I can't put my finger on it, but they seem sort of.... muddy maybe?...on you.
Your application was terrific as always...but Idda know about that palette.
I hear you: I love the colors, and how the mattes blended BUT if I use too many, then yes I feel it can be muddy.
The Gemini palette really is nothing special and the mattes are all so similar in shade. For $58 I could do without the palette
Oh man! This is changing my mind-thank you for sharing your insight!
Oh wow, that’s good to know
