This palette is named after the plant, not the food...so it's pronounced "Yuck-a" not "You-ka". 🥰
The Natasha denona palette also reminded me of the : Profusion : Harvest palette!! I was wondering if you could also do a comparison between the two , to see if they’re similar? Because I am not sure which one to choose ! 😣
An excellent way to review a pallet. Showing and explaining 5 reasons pro and con. You definitely are way ahead of so many other creators by not pushing a product on us , but giving us reasons and other options.Thank you you for such an informative video💕💕💕
I really like this style of video. The 5 reasons for why and why not are very useful. Your dupes are always great as well! Love the looks you made with this pallet!
Me too!!!!
Me too! I believe she did the same style video on the Huda palette that was released last fall. This palette is not for me, but I still really enjoyed the video!
Me too! That light green shimmer is amazing ❤
I really enjoyed this type of video. The harder application of some of the shades might drive me nuts. I have an autoimmune disease that's been making it harder for me to do makeup anyway. I love the colors though. But I'll hold off for now especially since I can't quite afford it. But who knows I might just change my mind sometime. If she does a mini version with some of the same vibe I might go for that.
"5 Reasons" are my favorite videos of yours. As much as the dupes, because of your straightforward assessments that benefit every skin type and color. Thank you!
Looks like ABH has a new palette: Cosmos. May I put in a vote for 5 Reasons on that one?
I'm curious about that one! It's so pretty 😍
Aw thank you! And yes! I do plan to get that one too. :)
WHAT!
This has alot of mustard shades but I probably wouldn't use these colors but they are still pretty
I'm afraid that I wouldn't get enough use out of this palette.
Definitely same. Im a 100% neutral girl with muted pops of color but this palette does NOT appeal to me one bit. Why ? 1 - not enough cool lor neutral tones and depth thus not enough variety or options 2 - too heavy on olive or warm oranges hence all looks may lean into that direction either way 3 - its not unique. Weve seen olives before. Sydney Grace mountain trail, Nomad, etc.
I bought it and I feel the same way
@@dkycutie78 oh no!
@@jslilimauveI agree! Melt Cosmetics was also super into their olives and grunge burnt tones. I.e., Gemini, Four Twenty, Smoke Sessions palettes
FINALLY!!!!! A Natasha Denona palette that isn't coming straight for my wallet!! 😂 These colors make me look like my liver is failing, so it's an easy pass for me.
😂
😂😂
😂😊😂😂😊😂
Great review! I'm on the no camp- those colors and my skin don't go together. I love that you don't fawn over ND, it just makes me trust your reviews so much more. When you said the two shades were patchy and shear, they actually showed up that way on camera. I will say these looks were much darker than I expected. Overall,I think it's an ugly palette but hope others enjoy it.
I'm in the no camp too. These colours look like the various shades my skin goes after I get a bruise
Hi what kind of skin undertone do you have? I'm not sure if it will fit me.. 😬
@@greezly25 Hey there! I have a cool undertone with pale skin that gets red but rarely tan. I can't wear oranges or yellows because it makes me look sallow and blueish.
@@ABCEggplant oh okay thank you for the answer, I have the exact same skin undertone... So sadly this palette is nothing for me either 🙈
ND's Yucca palette is what would happen if Juvia's Nomad and Tribe palettes had a baby 😂
I gotta say Jen, I simply LOVE this format for introducing a new palette to us! We get everything that's great about first impressions rolled into one video, yet it still manages to be a bit more of a comprehensive video than the "standard" first impression we've all seen hundreds of times. Considering that we get multiple looks for inspiration + tutorials with mini reviews about individual shades, we also get comparisons to other palettes' color stories, AND we get a list of pros&cons.. (aka: an antihaul smack in the middle of a first impression vid 😆), I have NO clue how you find the time to do it all. With this palette being released only a couple of days ago, I can only imagine how much time it took to film all the looks + swatches, and how hard you must've gone at the editing to get it up for us so fast.. do you even sleep? 😂 I, like most of your subs, super appreciate you and just wanted to say thanks! At first, I wasn't sure if I was gonna get this palette bc of certain shades in its color story, but now I can't wait to get my hands on it 😁
Lastly, for those who are like me and can't really wear yellows or yellow leaning greens (on me, those shades make it look like I have a black eye that's not quite done healing), how I make it work is that I avoid using anything with a yellowish undertone in or above my crease and in my outer corner. Bc I have pretty heavily hooded eyes, having the yellowish tone on the perimeter of my look is what really makes it look like an old bruise. Instead, I'll only use those kinds of colors on my lids. Most of the time I'll put the lighter/more pale yellows on the inner part of my eyelid to highlight that area (using it for contrast to the rest of the look so it makes my eyes seem more open), and I'll put the midtone yellows on the center of the lid. That way I still get to utilize the entire palette and not feel like I wasted money on one where I can only use half of the shades.
Anyway, great video Jen! Hope you and the family have a great weekend!
I think the baby daddy should be MELT the rust and Gemini palette are the YUCA combined
this color story is right up my alley!!! i loveeee how warm, colorful yet neutral, and the murky, swampy shades in it. i don’t have anything like this in my collection whatsoever. i’ve never tried one of her midi palettes, and i think i will purchase this someday. i LOVEEEED the looks you created!!! 💚💚💚
perfect description... somewhere between sunny and a bit swampy/grundge but light shades vs dak. awsome, loving it
As a mom, Natasha Denona and Pat McGrath are my self care! 😂 I don’t always have time to do great eye looks, but when I do, those are what I reach for!
Actually , I think it works better for dark skin tones and darker brown, black, olive and hazel eyes. I find this very good as most of her pallets work the best on blue or green eyes, eventhou I personally think that reds and even mauce reds works great on brown eyes, and hazel not just green. Natasha is very concentrated on skin tones, undertones, etc, and this is great, but I find most of her classics, like naturals Biba or from Glam, ofc, Lila, kinda do better and more for blue or green eyes. Gold and Star are pretty good for brown eyes , but are bigger and pricier, so I think this one is in medium size is well done.
Edit- you later told this.
Great review!
Another super comparable palette is the Ace Beaute Tropical Vibes palette! I wish you had that one to swatch and compare. It has all those mucky greens and mustards, plus lots of orangey neutrals. :)
I have Tropical Vibes, the mattes are everything! Pigmented but SO easily blendable. Ace Beaute formulated a beautifully pigmented formula that's as sheer or deep as you want it. ❤
@@justrose6978 I agree!! I was so happy when they reformulated. The formula now is almost perfection. The only matte formula that is better imo is the blend bunny cosmetics one.
I have the Tropical Vibes palette, I think Katie Marie compared the two. Tropical Vibes is a lot darker, and only has two shimmers, it’s a beautiful palette, Yucca is a lot lighter, so I think they compliment each other well.
I bought this palette, but haven't gotten it in the mail yet. I love ND's formula! Depending on the shade, I find it easier to pat the shadow down on the lid exactly where you want it to go and then blending it (or continue patting it to blend it). The one thing I notice with her formulas is that once they melt into the skin they look better hours later than when you first put them on. AND it will last all day until you take it off at night. Can't wait to get this palette in the mail!!
Jen, thank you for this detailed video. I really appreciate you taking time to include popular palettes with a similar vibe. I have 2 of the ones you mentioned (Urban Decay Naked Honey & BH Cosmetics Avocado Toast). Plus I have the ND Mini Gold. So I’m happy to watch my fave creators do looks with this palette, and this way I can “shop my stash” for a similar look. Have a great weekend!
So the three palettes that come to mind are:
1) Klarity Kosmetics Croc
2) Odens Eye Hella (Angelica Nyqvist collab)
3) Odens Eye Stone & Rock
It reminds me of Melt's 420 palette but with better & more shimmers.
And the new Nomad palette, Okavango Safari ^^
@@VampireHeart518 yep.
I'm totally here for the odens eye palettes! This Nd gone be a pass
We can't get the Hella palette, so it doesn't matter on that one
Another thought. In the past there have been so many palettes that favored fair/light skin tones. The brands would claim the colors were for all people, but clearly that was a stretch, as the swatches didn't look great (or even show up) on medium or darker skins. The ABH Rose Metals palette seemed to be a shift, as that one was absolutely meant to be for medium to darker skinned folks. Sure, it can be worn by everyone, but from what I've seen, it wouldn't be great for fair/light skin unless you wanted smoky, sultry, and sexy looks for everyday. Def not me LOL. Yucca seems like it would be awesome for olive and tanned skin, maybe someone with Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, or Latina heritage. So, those color stories aren't for me, but it's so great to see brands thinking more inclusively!
I was also thinking that. My skin is very fair with strong pink undertones, and my eyes are blue. I think Jen looks great in these colors, but yes, I think the palette may be intended for people with brown eyes and olive or medium toned skin. I'm thinking that the choices Jen made of which colors to apply together made the difference!
I do wear warm browns for eye shadow, and I think those are the most becoming shades on me. But I don't use extremely yellow or orange colors.
I envy those with brown eyes because I think they have more options for colors!
@20thcenturyrelic yes, me too! I'm very fair/pink with brown eyes, and I just couldn't pull those shades off. I love olive eyeshadow in the fall but it has to be very subtle.
@@jilljohnson251 I've been using an olive green eye shadow on my outer corners. I like it with warmer browns. It's part of a palette I bought, so I decided to try it. I try to keep it subtle!
Purely as a point of interest, I’ve always pronounced “acacia” as “uh-KAY-shuh”. It was the name of a fraternity on my campus in college. It is a type of tree and a great source of tannins. I will be waiting for the Alter Ego version of this palette. I think that this will make me look sallow for sure.
It's really not my cup of tea.
I dont like greens or mustard colours.
I'd only use the warm browns and lighter golds.
I feel like the tones in this pallet are more of an Autumn toned. 🤷♀️
I definitely am passing on this one personally.
Also when it comes to Colourpop and ND formula, I 100% agree with you! I reach for my CP shadows over my ND.😊 I have a lot of both, and the CP mattes are a lot faster and easier to blend when your not wanting to spend a ton of time blending. Nabla is another brand I seem to reach for more than ND as well.
I picked it up during rouge access and can’t wait to get it! 🧡💚💛
This palette is beautiful and I’m appreciative of the sparkly shades. I feel like a lot of people will want this one. I have a couple of her 5-pan shadows and I agree with you on the blending difficulties. When I have to get through rush hour traffic to get to work, I don’t have time for a 30-minute eye look.
I'm really glad to see your swatches - there are way more yellow shades than it seems in the pan. I love swampy greens, but I don't like yellow shadows: they make my eyes look bloodshot, and highlight the red in my irises. So basically I'm a zombie! 🧟♀️ I definitely have other options for grungy greens, so I'm fine to skip this one.
I love ND pallets, my favorite is the Glam. The Yucca pallet is beautiful but I have the Artist Couture Supreme Nudes and it reminds me of that one. I really like when you compare to other pallets. You’re content is always so well structured and informative. Thanks for your content 😊
I'm a budget girl so ND is never on my radar for purchase. I appreciate her color stories from a far. However, this pallet is truly my colors! BUT I'm still budget, I'll patiently😇 wait for Alter Egos take on this stunning pallet. And I do have similar singles and a pallet or two that contain a majority of these lovely shades. Thanks Jen, I love your take on this review.😊
I’m so into yellows recently (I actually just got the new tropical beauty bay palette which is incredible!) but the price is enough to put me off… I’m a drugstore girly so it’s a no from me although I can absolutely see the beauty in the colours especially the unique new finishes!x
Without watching and hearing why or why not….the eye look is stunning on you!!….that immediately makes me think it’s a why I should!
Thanks Jen. I didn’t buy the retro glam because of the cooler shades but this one is more my style, having a warmer undertone and loving the ND formula I think this might be one of my faves from her.
Very helpful video Jen! I really love this video idea and would love to see more of them.
This was a great review! Loved the format and your info was so concise and well thought out ❤
Hello Jen! Thank you for your honest review on this palette. I love this kind of video!
Hi Jen! I love the looks that you created with this palette! 💕
I’m really loving the greens lately and I think the tones in this are so gorgeous.
I have never had a ND palette before but I may just have to pick this one up because it is so unique!
Thank you as always for your excellent videos, I learn so much! 🥰
Hi Jen, thank you for the balanced and informative review. I appreciate so much how you show similar palettes and compare swatches.
Great review! I love the looks you created
Hallo Jen, wow great detailed video. Thank you so much. Yes I ordered due Monday.
You're rocking this look, Jen 😃❣️🙌
Love this palette! Waiting on it to come
In! These look amazing on you, Jen!!
Thanks, Jen! I enjoyed the format of this video and loved all the looks you created. 💚 I only own a few ND minis and enjoy the formula, but I'm curious to try a midi. I like the color story of Yucca, but will probably wait for a sale, especially since I have other palettes with a similar color story, like Coloured Raine's Safari Raine, Ace Beaute's Tropical Vibes, and Oden's Eye Hela.
Very helpful, thanks jen!
Love the format of this video. Five reasons too five reasons not and especially like the multiple looks that you got with one pallet. Would love to see more videos showing different looks from one pallet.
Thank you so much for this video, I loved it!! The format is great. Your explanations are thorough and you did three great eye looks and tons of swatch comparisons. By far my FAVORITE Yucca palette video I have watched. Thanks for helping me make my decision on where to purchase or pass. ❤️ 👏🏽 👏🏽
I love the way you have your eyeshadow in this video
Thanks for reviewing. Oh I'm just swooning over the metallic shades.
I'm grateful you're here !
totally agree. olive skin, dark hair, dark eyes - neutral / warm olive. I love this palette as literally an everyday - truly all occasions for me - palette. I don't think MOST skin tones look good in this palette. "natural blondes" or non-olives look realllly ill and washed out - anyone cool (or honestly most warm toned) folks will not jive with this color story. I don't love it on you in the slightest (crazy because you are so talented at application) and I am so glad you're so clear about how this really isn't meant for "mass consumption".
it is a little hard to work with so it can be time consuming to get correct, but I work from home and don't have kids or pets so I can be incredibly selfish with my time.
I felt a bit mean for thinking that, but yes, the shades don't suit her much.
Another review you knocked out of the ballpark, way to go Jen, love the format and you doing the five reasons we should or not buy it, you are so clever and thank you for letting us know about the glitter fallout, I’m one who just can’t deal with glitter fallout anymore and especially at that price. Your 3 looks are so pretty especially the last one and I think they all looked good on your skin tone. I think your probably the only one who doesn’t go goo-goo over her pallets, love that. I have 3 of her pallets, the Glam, the Retro and the My Dream (got that one in my Beautylish Lucky Bag the year) and the ones I reach for the most are my little Essence pallets😂😂Have a blessed weekend.❤
Excellent video! I would love more in this style. Thank you!!
Love this video…More like this, please. You are the best🎉
I LOVE IT! The third look especially is gorgeous. Also Jen, your hair looks so good, you look beautiful with your hair down & parted that way!! Very flattering.
Thanks for sharing! This is out of my budget, but I was already planning on getting the JP Nomad palette when it is on sale next, and when I clicked on this video, I thought "that looks similar nomad palette", so I am very glad you memtioned the comparison!! I'm pretty sure I have a dark green single in my collection, to make up the difference!
Jen thanks for being the only person to pronounce Yucca correctly. For all the reasons you mentioned I still bought it. And I have all the comp palettes too. Made similar looks with Subculture and BH Avocado trying to talk myself out of it but can’t wait to get
These colors look so good on you! I just got this palette delivered today, I’m so excited to play with it!
Thank you for giving reasons on both sides! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who prefers Colourpop to Natasha Denona. I also really appreciate the Swatch comparisons!
Really like all three looks you did - the middle one with the contrast of pinky-coral blush and lips is a such pretty, sunny summer look! Also appreciate your comparisons with other palettes and explaining the difference with the shades and undertones. This is a unique ND color story and I really like her formula so I'm excited for it to arrive! 🌞
Beautiful colors. I have tons of single shadows, and I'm pretty sure i can get a very similar vibe of this pallete from my collection. I have olive skin and brown eyes, and love these colors on my eyes
The last look is my FAVE!! Definitely loving it on you!
Pretty color story. The shimmers are interesting. Didn't know the formula was so glittery. On the fence. Thanks, Jen. Blessings!
Your eye shadow look is just gorgeous! Makes your eyes really pop!
I love that you're very 1st look included the silvery metallic so many creators I've watched demoing this palate have not used that shade and have said it doesn't really go with the pallet but you proved to them wrong lol gorgeous
All 3 looks you did with this palette are stunning on you, the best demonstrations I have seen so far. I’m on the fence with it, since I have the Gold and Bronze palettes. Both of those are my HG’s. I have the same eye color as you did, but warmer complexion.
The colors are so pretty on your eyes! ND is out of my price range but I’m drawn to these colors. Will use your looks for inspo and find similar colors from my own collection.
You are the best person on RUclips in my opinion. You are always on trend and your reviews are so thoughtful and helpful. I watch all of your videos as you are by far my favorite. I appreciate all of the hard work you put into your videos and they definitely make this makeup addicts life easier!
Aww thank you so much for the kind words! 🥰🥰🥰
What can I say, was love at first sight! These are my colors! Can't purchase it right now but I'll do as soon as I can! Absolutely loved it! And your looks are so pretty and wearable! Thansk for the review!!
Love this style of video. Thank you! I am going to skip it for now. I want to see how these swatch on my skin. I have an olive undertone but greens don’t always look good on me. So I want to wait until I see it in person. Thank you for a wonderful video!
Hi Jen, thank you for doing this video, I enjoy watching this style of video, the Yucca pallet is just my style, with my hazel eyes and olive complexion, yes,yes this looks like a fun pallet for me,it can take me from day to night,(what fun). Love Katherine xoxo
So useful video!Thank you!I think i can find many similar shadows in my collection.I have many palettes!😊
Great video. Thank you!! I was mesmerized by the swatches on IG and was looking for someone to convince me I didn’t need it. Success. I realized that the foiled shades and Camu Camu were what was drawing me in and that’s just not enough to spend $70 on this. I know myself enough to know I won’t get that much use so it would not be a good spend. The palette is beautiful but you convinced me I don’t need it which I what I was hoping for. The look you’re wearing for the video is gorgeous.
Thank you, Jen - I think this is the best style of video for anyone wanting help in deciding whether to buy a new palette release. I will pass on it, for the Con reasons 1-3 that you listed. I really don’t have most of those colors in my wardrobe, either. They don’t suit my taste or my coloring. But I wouldn’t have been able to save myself the money if not for you, so I truly appreciate it. I look forward to more of this style of review for future palette releases. ❤
Great review, informative. Thanks Jen.
This is such an excellent review video. Please consider keeping this style for the future! Also, I duped the Yucca palette out almost completely using my existing ND palettes of Green/Brown, Glam, Gold, Metropolis, Bronze, and Triochrome. Even just using Triochrome, Gold, and Glam, I got pretty far. I was happy with what I had at 12 shades but I reached into the others for more depth; there is some redundancy in the palette IMO so I added the colours I thought rounded it out more. If you have a handful of ND, you have this already.
I am usually so entranced by ND formula and color stories. So unique. I love how she doesn’t just mimic other companies with what she puts out or repeat color stories. With hazel green eyes I decided to get this even though I have a more cool skin tone. Thanks for the thorough review. Very helpful. I love how you always show different dupes than other videos out there.
I love this color story! Def going to get this.
I finally bought it, I couldn't resist anymore, I love green eyeshadows and with this color story, is just right up my alley!! I cannot wait, I bought the green (Willow) eyeliner pencil too...I want to see what I can create with this collection!! Thank you for all the inspiration with those looks, they are amazing on you!!
Your makeup looks extraordinary today. Brava!
I do love videos like this so I hope you will continue this format for new palettes. I like this palette, but I can’t see myself wearing it enough to be worth it. I enjoy the ND formula. Maybe she will do a mini in the color story. That I could definitely see myself buying.
What a wonderful review of this ND Yucca Palette Jen. I love the finished look of each application and they are beautiful. Great job. This palette seems to be worth the time it takes to apply and I love this palette and we know I am a cheap person but I really love this palette and I will pay if it is something I really like. Thank you so much for the great reviews and this will be my first ND palette.🥰❤💖💛💙💐🌺💐
I will get mine tomorrow! I find with the cream to matte shades that stamping it on with minimal blending works best. Beautiful looks. ❌️ ⭕️
This was one of your best videos!! You are the voice of reason! Thank you. I didn’t realize how sparkly the shimmers are. That is a bit much for me personally. I also am not a fan of the creamy mattes. Not that I would rule something out for having them. I have subculture and the mini gold so I am good. When you were applying it it gave me naked Wild West vibes and I have that too. You look beautiful in it! I feel like Natasha Denona has been doing a good job releasing alternating cool and warm palettes.
This made me think of UD's Wild West, too.
All 3 looks turned out beautifully! 💛🌻
I enjoyed this format
Best comparisons as always! 😊 I think this time I am well served with the Metropolis palette, not saying a dupe but it does has the same vibe and I am happy to save so much money 😅
This style video is fabulous! You helped me realize that this is not where I want to spend over $70. The undertones aren’t great for my fair/light neutral leaning complexion, and I have all but one of the similar palettes that you mentioned. I so appreciate the style of and honesty behind your content.
Great explanation I may look at ND other palettes some of her shades can be quite powdery which I prefer the smooth shimmers. Thought I would like metropolis but was just too hard to work with.
Hi Jen, thanks for the video! I'd definitely like to see more of this type of content.
My taste in eye shadow is stuck in the 90s - you know, boring matte brown. But I like to see how you combine and apply more vivid colors and shimmer/glitter/metallic shades. After watching several of your videos, I've started using a bit of color on the outer corner of my eyelids and a little of a bone colored shimmer shade on my inner corners. I do think it's an improvement and looks more contemporary than my old look. The secret seems to be to use a very light hand, and blend!
Thanks Jen!!
❤️💜💚
What a great review Jen! I have the Natasha Gold & the Melt Gemini palettes so I will skip this one
Such a helpful video. I love that color story and was feeling tempted, but I don’t enjoy her formula due to all the reasons you listed. I’m not the best at doing my eyeshadow, so I do not find this very user friendly for people like me. Shockingly enough Lorac makes one of the most user friendly eyeshadows for beginners. They are pigmented but SO easy to blend.
Will probably get it on sale. Combined The Nomad and The Tribe from Juvia's today to dupe the vibe and had a lot of fun!
I tried the Milani tubing mascara from your recommendation and I do like it a lot ❤
Thank you for this great review, I have brown eyes and at glance I thought this palette would look good on me but now I'm totally sure. Thanks !!
I love the second eye look you made! Going to shop my stash and see if I can do something similar!
I was really hesitating on whether to get this pallette or not. But your review has confirmed it's not for me. I wouldn't get the use out of it. Thank you for your honesty, I've subscribed now to your channel 🥰
I loved all 3 looks can’t wait to get mine!
Your swatches are the best I’ve seen of this palette. Your descriptions are excellent too. Thank you so much for your research and effort. I am on the fence with this palette but I am such a fan of ND will probably get it. In Australia it is at Sephora for about $109 AUD. 😳
I have two mini ND palettes and I agree with you on the formula. It takes me a lot longer to do a look because her formula is so pigmented and some of her mattes are harder to blend. I do really like the look of her new shimmer formula though! But ultimately this is a pass for me because I don't think I would get enough use out of it to justify the splurge.
I really appreciate this type of review; it was very informative and well thought out!
I was waiting for your review as we have a similar skin tone and your 5 reasons style is my favourite as it allows for nuance in what people look for. The one thing I would change is the grey/taupe shimmer to a true gold, peach, light copper or even an orange shimmer as I feel like the grey is a completely different style and cool toned to the rest of the palette so will be harder to use.
Great review Jen! I think this is one I will be skipping! I am such a cool toned person and I get the warmer palettes and then I just don’t reach for them? 💗
very useful. Thank you❤
Terrific video..thanks Jen, great looks. I checked my humble collection, and found two similar ones: KKW Beauty Camo palette (got on sale) and the smaller Dose of Colors Cutting Edge(older one). Also, you can find something similar to the more unique matte shades in the ND Bronze palette. Will make me think twice….
I ordered this and can’t wait until this comes in! It’s gonna make my green eyes (with amber center) pop!
I love the style of this video. I like all of your videos:-) Natasha rarely has sales like Pat McGrath or Huda. I ended up going for huda rose quartz on her site at 30% off
Hi Jen! I think the palette is beautiful! I have dark hair and brown eyes, so I do think these tones could work for me. Great comparisons! I’m also thinking it could be a little similar to the green/olive column in the Colourpop It’s A Mood palette!
I got to go to the states recently (I'm from Canada) and got to go to ulta, which I've only been to like 3 times. I had made a list of your recommendations and I have to say your choice of the smoke n roses palette was perfect. the shimmers??? they are so good!!
