In today's palette review, I have a lot of thoughts, but let's keep this short and sweet! I bought this palette last year and it sat just to collect dust. I felt so uninspired with it at the time. The mixtures of blue threw me off even though I loved the palette shades indivually enough to buy the palette as a whole. So this ended up being a palette in the stack of unused for some time. I have tried other Ace Beaute palettes and I am one that actually really likes their formula. It's definitely not the best out there, in my opinion, but still an incredible indie brand with unique shades that have payoff. I love supporting them. I finally dipped into this palette last month and took off creating looks. I'm so much more inspired with it now that I'm kind of happy I waited, but it's so beautiful I'm mad I waited. Ha! Do you feel me on that?
I have been inspired to mix shades I normally wouldn't tend to, to find out I love them paired. I'm a sucker for greens lately and this palette has the best ones with unique undertones. The mattes really pack a pigment. This is the issue a lot of people have with their palettes. They say they are pigmented, but super patchy and unblendable. I feel like it's the "ABH Subculture" fiasco all over again since I really don't mind it but others hate it. I agree they take longer to blend than some, but are gorgeous in the payoff. I actually prefer the mattes over the shimmers. The shimmers are beautiful when they finally help complete a look but they're not as buttery as some. A little bit more on the drier side.
Although, I fill you in on all of this, they just recently threw a bomb out there of a reformulation on every single palette they offer. It's a bittersweet moment for me becuase for one, I already own a handful that I don't want to repurchase and two, I don't think their formula was that bad to get to the point of a reformulation. But I do hope it is a way for the brand itself to become more successful and win back anyone that lost interest after maybe not falling in love with the formulas. I don't plan to repurchase the ones I own, as they work fine for me, but I'll always have my eye on future launches from Ace.
I share this to show the shades, the looks, and the palette in general that I have been loving, but I have nothing to give to you about this new formulation besides them saying it is still extreme payoff that blends effortlessly. Do you own any Ace Beaute Palettes? Have you tried their new formula? Let me know! xo
