Your opinion is always the most valid to me when it comes to Melt. You absolutely know your stuff! I think you did beautiful looks here but i the pallette isn't giving me the urge to spend. P.S I'm loving your space buns, you always have the most beautiful hair ❤
It's crazy, this palette gives me the Urban Decay wild west vibes. And this falls into another inconsistent formulas in one palette for Melt which is the issue i had with Vida. It continues to keep me from wanting to buy from Melt. I want to love them, because their aesthetics are right up my ally, but they cost way too much to have such a mixed bag of formulas and shadows that keep going bad. Most recently been seeing the gemini 2 getting a moldy shade.
Yes thank you! I kept thinking why has no one noticed it looks just like an Urban Decay palette?? I’ve also been wary of buying palettes from Melt since they’ve always seemed to get mixed reviews due to inconsistency. I did finally cave on She’s in Parties and I really do like it but I don’t wanna take a chance on wasting $60 on a potentially subpar palette. There’s so many consistently great indie brands out there.
This palette gives me ND zendo vibes. Sometimes I wonder if zendo had come out later if people would’ve liked it more. It’s one of my fave palettes of all times, but seems like no one else likes it that much. And I see this melt palette and it’s like, if people can love this one, maybe they’d love zendo if they have it another chance. Your eye looks turned out great!
Loved the video! It's really helping me in making a decision about whether purchasing this palette or not. It looks like a more on-the-go, user friendly, daily formula for Melt, which is not necessarily a bad thing! Galactic Love looks incredible on your eyes
I received my Melt palette today. I was worried because the reviews I’ve seen so far have been Luke warm. Your review gives me hope. I don’t mind it starting off lighter and building it up. Loved your two looks.
I immediately wanted the palette as soon as I saw it, and I like it even more in person. I really enjoy a palette that offers variety like this. The other day I did the peachy/strawberry colors on the outside of my eye with the orange shimmer and lighter blue shimmer on the inside and the sheer peachy shimmer in between. I never would have mixed those all together but it just happened and was super fun.. my coworker called me a mermaid, so that’s a win in my book 😂 I also am excited melt listened to people asking for more shimmers because I know there were definitely comments about the Gemini palettes (which I LOVE) only having 2 each. I haven’t tried anything from them I didn’t enjoy! Love these fun looks! ✨✨💚
I think this may be one I admire from afar, but it is definitely pretty! Of course I think the orange eye look was most "You" but both looks really looked awesome.
i reallllly wanted this palette as soon as i saw it, but even though it was 35% off from the beginning i just couldn’t afford it, because my fur baby has an upcoming surgery which will be very expensive. i loveeee both looks you created!!! i hope to get this sometime in the future. 💙🧡💙🧡
❤ Thank you for the review. To be honest I’ve not been on social media too much recently and had no idea this was being released. I think it’s gorgeous. It’s for sure going on my list of wants and may be one I purchase. You are amazing and I really appreciate your honest reviews. You are definitely a trustworthy RUclipsr/ influencer. Thank you for being you.
Your footage and swatches of this palette def make it more appealing than the promo photos.....but this one ain't my jam. I am more the Rust, OG stacks, G1, G2, 27 guild when it comes to Melt. Melt has not struck a chord with me since fpr a bit. But I can totally see this being your vibe. Love both looks on you Linda!
I like the blue colors out of all of them. Bummer about the staining, though. I like the looks you managed to create, but this seems like another palette that falls under the, some will love, some will hate category with the inconsistent pigmentation across the colors. The Blues are stunning.
I was so curious to hear your thoughts on this palette, so I'm glad to see your review/first impressions! Both looks turned out really nicely, but what a bummer that you were walking around with a stained eye for two days. 😬
When you were using some of the shades and wished some were more opaque…. I know I feel like that when using different palettes. Wish a shadow was more pigmented or more sheer or whatever. It always makes me wonder what the vision of the brand was with that specific shade. How did they use it when testing to decide which should be the toppers, which should be more sheer…. What kind of test looks did they do. Or don’t they? Do they just throw in colors they think would be fun and change up formulas in fun ways and just go with it….
Tell me how I just saw 👀 melt secretly brought back amor y mariposas 🦋 palette on clearance!!!! My toddler got into mine and I needed a new one eeeek 😆
Hey there, Linda! I'm so excited you are reviewing this palette because I'm curious. I own a lot of their palettes, but this kinda looks like a mix of the Muerte and Vida
Hi Linda! Thanks so much for doing this review. I was really intrigued by this palette and thought of their discontinued Impulsive palette too when I saw it. So far, I’m really enjoying it. Those Vida comparisons were nice!
I love the looks of this palette. Ive never tried Melt. Definitely dont need any eyeshadow, but im always down to hear your thoughts & see what you come up with I think Melt has just had to tone it down to really sell in Sephora.
Very interesting point of view. I don't personally feel that Melt has toned their vibe down *too* much, but something was definitely different about this one.
I loved the looks! You are gorgeous 💕💕 Thank you for the fantastic review❤❤ I still want this but I think I’ll wait for an end of the year sale. It doesn’t seem to be selling well…
This was fun! I just moved so I won’t be shopping and didn’t want to be tempted (prioritizing my $ -you know how that is) this was very welcome and informative with my morning coffee break. Definitely filled in the gaps on what’s going on with this palette. Great job.
I am sooooooo on the fence with this palette. I have seen a couple of reviews now. Multiple people have commented on the matte formula being different from their normal formula. Your looks turned out looking good, I’m leaning more towards your blue one though. I think at this point I’m gonna hold off on this one. Maybe, maybe not. Ugh, lol. I can’t decide.😂
Both of those looks are 🔥. I am very intrigued by this palette and may pick it up in future. But I have a question about the shimmers (other than the glittery dud shade). I am obsessed with the Gemini palette except for the shimmer called Gemini which I find to be completely unusable. Are these shimmers more like that one or more like the other shimmer in Gemini (I think it might be called goalz? Sry I don't have it in front of me at the moment.
When I saw this palette revealed, I just thought to myself: "Oh..." And this pretty much sums it up. Is it a kinda pretty looking palette? Yeah, I guess. But with how much indie brand formulas have grown and developed in the recent years, Melt losing the only two things they were doing in a downright genius way - color stories and insanely pigmented mattes - makes them an easy pass. This color story can be easily found in other brands, the shimmers of the same exact colors that are actually creamy and easy to use can also be found elsewhere. This is just...disappointing.
This palette is pretty, but I feel like it's a mish-mosh of a couple of their palettes. And you're not the first I've heard talk about the lack of opacity. I don't mind working a shade here and there, but I would've expected more from that red and brown. I love the dark blue shimmer you used, and the green shimmer, but not enough for me to own this one. I feel like this is a pass for me :( I'll probably kick myself later
Update: Pseudo stained my eyes for two days. So that was fun.
Yeesh!
Oh no! 😮
😵💫😵💫😳😳 yowza thank you for the heads up!

Love that you wore your melt shirt.
The Sonia G Builder 2 brush picks up Saturn,. and it is a stunning color!!!!

If you have the Sonia G Builder 2 brush, it picks up those shimmers so well!!!!

So… I feel that the brown even though it swatch patchy, it really looks like a mushroom colour… and I have to have it!!🥹
Your footage and swatches of this palette def make it more appealing than the promo photos.....but this one ain't my jam. I am more the Rust, OG stacks, G1, G2, 27 guild when it comes to Melt.

Not the packaging, but the color story has Club Nebula vibes. I imagine the eye looks you could create would be similar.
My palette arrives on Monday! Cant wait
I love the orange eye look the best. A hot 🔥 look for a hot young rocker! 🤘🤘
I was so curious to hear your thoughts on this palette, so I'm glad to see your review/first impressions! Both looks turned out really nicely, but what a bummer that you were walking around with a stained eye for two days. 😬
I have a friend that got this palette and she uses the Saturn color as a topper on darker matte colors!
When you were using some of the shades and wished some were more opaque…. I know I feel like that when using different palettes. Wish a shadow was more pigmented or more sheer or whatever. It always makes me wonder what the vision of the brand was with that specific shade. How did they use it when testing to decide which should be the toppers, which should be more sheer….

Thank you, Janelle!
I do like the mix of different colors. I’m waiting for there anniversary sale in May where I usually buy everything that intrigues me.
I love the looks of this palette. Ive never tried Melt. Definitely dont need any eyeshadow, but im always down to hear your thoughts & see what you come up with
I think Melt has just had to tone it down to really sell in Sephora.

I totally get the $$ prioritization for sure. Thank you for watching!
When i first saw this palette I was excited but now I'm having doubts. There's a lot of mixed reviews. I'll probably wait until they add a discount 😅
I am sooooooo on the fence with this palette. I have seen a couple of reviews now. Multiple people have commented on the matte formula being different from their normal formula. Your looks turned out looking good, I’m leaning more towards your blue one though. I think at this point I’m gonna hold off on this one. Maybe, maybe not. Ugh, lol. I can’t decide.😂
The mattes definitely felt different, though I can't quite explain how. It's definitely a fun palette, though.
Reminds me of Natasha's Metropolis palette a bit.
I can see that!
I love that blue eye!
So curious about your thoughts!
Woohoo-useful footage, have a good one!👌
Thank you!
i feel like "bahng" is maybe a stylized spelling of bong?
Both of those looks are 🔥. I am very intrigued by this palette and may pick it up in future. But I have a question about the shimmers (other than the glittery dud shade).

Are these shimmers more like that one or more like the other shimmer in Gemini (I think it might be called goalz? Sry I don't have it in front of me at the moment.
The Saturn shimmer was a little tricky for me, as shown, but could work nicely as a topper. The other shimmers are all STUNNING, creamy, and opaque.
Pseudo stained my eyes, I was very unhappy about this. And you know I ALWAYS use primer because of my oily hooded lids.
SAME. And it's so weird to me because I'm used to reds staining my eyes, but not blues. Hmm.
❤❤❤

I don’t think this will be added to my world. It’s pretty, but don’t need more!
I have had zero interest in this palette since first sight.
I feel like Melt just fell behind. They haven't had the quality or the hype in a long while.
