Morphe & Jaclyn Hill eyeshadow palette review!

For years I have been following Jaclyn Hill on YouTube. I remember I was watching a different video and I saw a smokey eye tutorial so I just clicked on it. That's when I first saw Jaclyn Hill's channel. Ever since then, I've been following and supporting her.

As you can imagine, I was pretty excited (and a bit jealous to be honest) when I heard she'd drop her own palette with Morphe.

It's been quite a while since she's dropped the palette and at first it was so hard for me to get my hands on it. They always sold out so quickly or the companies that had them in stock don't deliver to Belgium.

The biggest surprise on Christmas was that my boyfriend actually managed to get his hands on it. I had gotten all these beautiful gifts from amazing brands and really didn't think it could get any better and then I opened the last package. The package with the Jaclyn Hill palette in it. I swear to God, I nearly jumped through the roof! 

This palette holds a wide range of colours. 35 eyeshadows to be exact. They vary from skintone colours to blending colours, colours that pop and dark colours.

I was so excited but at thesame time I didn't want to use the palette. It was just so beautiful. A month and a half later I finally decided it was time and started experimenting with it.

The thing with Youtubers who get their own make-up line is that they will be criticized more. You expect a very good product from somebody who makes a living reviewing different brands. You expect the eyeshadows to have to best colour pay off and to blend like butter.

I too, expected a lot from this palette. Luckily, if you didn't already know, I can tell you that this is the kind of stuff that dreams are made of.

These eyeshadows are so gorgeous and there are so many shades. They are so many options. Not all the eyeshadows are equally pigmented, but most of them blew my mind.

Here are a couple of looks that I have done using this palette. As you can see the colours are absolutely gorgeous. 

I'm very satisfied and think Morphe and Jaclyn Hill did a great job! 

I hope you enjoyed this post! See you soon!

My beauty obsession started when I was still very young. I think I must have been fourteen or fifteen when I discovered beauty channels on YouTube for the first time. I have seen a lot of videos in the meantime and supported a lot of YouTubers. 

The Jaclyn Hill x Morphe palette is a palette that I have wanted for a long time. I couldn't get my hands on it. Either the company didn't sell to the country I lived in, or they were out of stock. 

Luckily, my boyfriend got his hands on it and it was one of my Christmas presents. "Christmas present? It's March and this is the first time you're hearing about this." - I know, I didn't want to touch it for a while because I just thought it was so beautiful (and of course then you want to keep it intact as long as possible).

The day has come though, and naturally I went for the brightest colours in the palette: teal and turquoise! 

The look that I came up with incorporates the "halo" technique that has been quite popular lately. This means that the inside and outside of your eyes are a bit darker, whereas you brighten up the middle portion of your eyelid for that extra "pop".

I skipped eyeliner and decided to just put on a ton of mascara.

That's the finished look!

I'm very satisfied with the palette. The colours that I have used have left a very good impression - but I didn't expect anything less from Jaclyn Hill and Morphe.

I'll be back with more looks! I hope you enjoyed this one!
