Covergirl TruNaked Goldens Eyeshadow Palette Review

Hello!! Today I'm sharing my review for one of the new Covergirl TruNaked eyeshadow palettes! A lot of you seemed really interested in this when I shared it in my haul post! I've been searching for these palettes for a while now so I was really excited to get my hands on one. 

There are three different palettes that Covergirl offers. I chose the 'Goldens' because I liked the matte transition shade best in this one, and I really wanted the two gold shades. The 'Nudes' was also very pretty and a tiny bit more neutral since the Goldens has some green shades. The 'Roses' have pink and purple toned shadows. All three are gorgoues, and I had a hard time picking between the Goldens and the Nudes. 

These are around $10-12 and you get 8 shadows, mostly shimmer with 2-3 matte shades. 

Covergirl has put some huge claims on these palettes by saying they shade like a leading $50 eyeshadow palette. This may or may not be true, which I will talk about after my swatches and eye looks I created. 

Swatches

Eye looks

Here I used the lightest gold shade on my lid, the light transition shade and the deep bronze in my crease, with the darkest shade in the outer corner. 

For this one I used the darker gold on my lid, the light transition shade in my crease, and the darker green shade over top in my crease.

For this last look I used the lightest gold shade on he first half of my lid, and the darkest green shade on the second half. For my crease I used the light brown transition shade and the darkest brown in my outer corner. 

My Thoughts

-I've already mentioned that this palette is beautiful. The shadows swatch nicely and the pigmentation is good. 

-The shadows are very, very soft- so if you aren't careful there will be fall out (avoid attacking your face with these like I usually do!)  BUT they are not chalky or powdery. Just very soft. They blend amazingly, and they are very buttery.

-The transition shade is one of the best I've used because it blends out

so nice. With the shadows being soft I recommend using a wet brush to apply the colors you want to use on you lid. This makes for no fall out, and a beautiful Metalic shade. 

So is this comparable to a high end $50 eyeshadow?

Not quite, but almost. If I'm rating Urban Decay or Lorac at a 10, I would say these Covergirl ones are about a 7-8, while I'd say the Maybelline palettes are about a 6. I hope that comparison helps give you an idea of how they stand. They are good, but I think if Covergirl is trying to compare them to high end shadows, then they need to up their game on the packaging and it would be nice if they offered more shades (12 like the Maybelline ones!). They do have good pigment and the ease in which they blend out is amazing to me. 

I'm really enjoying this palette and I definitely recommend checking them out of you were thinking about trying them! I want to pick up the Nudes version of this palette, but I think I'll skip the Roses sine I don't wear those colors as often. 

Will you be picking any of these Covergirl palettes up?

Later this week-

Expect to see my review for the Maybelline Master Contour Palette, and a Lush Haul! I'm also working on a what's in my bag video, and I want to do a tutorial using this Covergirl palette!
Also, my last post (the little things #4..) was my 400th blog post! That is crazy to me how many posts I've done in the 2.5 years I've been blogging!
