I've been using this palette for nearly two weeks and I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I like it! All the shades blend out beautifully (even the matte colors) and I haven't noticed any fallouts.
The frosty and metallic shades (Tate R. Tots, Rocky Road-Icecream, Chris P. Bacon) are buttery smooth and highly pigmented even without a primer. The formula on these three eyeshadows is fabulous! The six other shades tend to be a bit dusty and less pigmented, but the color payoff is excellent with a primer. I always use an eyeshadow primer anyway so that's not a problem for me!
The colors are beautiful, I love the mix of mattes and shimmers! And don't you just love the funny names? I have to admit that I giggled quite a bit when I saw Chris P. Bacon! lol
Mac Encheese and Ray Sinbread are great transition shades, and I can't get enough of Tate R. Tots and Rocky Road-Icecream! Chris P. Bacon has such a beautiful finish and formula too! Bruce Schetta is your typical boring matte beige shade, but always a nice addition to any eyeshadow palette. Artie Chokedip is my least favorite shade, simply because I rarely wear bluish grey on my eyes. I like to wear Alfred O'Pasta on the upper lashline or use it to add some depth to any eye look.
Bruce Schetta is a light peachy pink beige with a matte finish.
Mac Encheese is a medium mauve with a matte finish.
Ray Sinbread is a light golden brown with a matte finish.
Tate R. Tots is a rose gold with a sparkly and shimmery finish.
Rocky Road-Icecream is a mauve taupe with a shimmery finish.
Chis P. Bacon is a saturated reddish copper with a metallic finish.
Hal Apeno-Poppers is a light grayish green with a luminous finish.
Artie Chokedip is a medium bluish grey with a luminous finish.
Alfred O'Pasta is a deep charcoal grey with a shimmery finish and silver micro glitters.
The TheBalm Appétit Eyeshadow Palette retail for $39.50 US for 13.5g.

Deleteoh my gosh that rocky road! i really love the balm even though i can't really find it here, everything i see online looks amazing, including this!
ReplyDeleteRocky Road-Icecream is GORGEOUS! I like to wear it all over the lid with Tate R. Tots on the inner corner.
DeleteThe post I've been waiting for!!! The Chris P. Bacon is giving me life. Do you know if these will show up at Rexall?
ReplyDeleteI don't know, sorry!
Deleteooooh that middle row. I have seen this shared a few times and wondered why they would make the shadows in letter shapes so good to know its just an overlay and they are regular shaped
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's just an overlay too!

DeleteI've seen this palette so many times now and always thought it looked kind of bland, but those swatches are STUNNING! Seeing the pans just doesn't do it justice!

They should create a palette with only metallic eyeshadows like this one, the formula is so good!
DeleteHaha, I love their creativity with the names! I've never owned a single theBalm product! But now I would love to! These look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely should try their products! :)
DeleteThe coors in this palette look pretty good and vibrant
ReplyDeleteI love them!

DeleteOooo I totally thought the pans were shaped like the letters, I love it even more knowing it's just an overlay! The swatches are gorgeous!!
