It's Barely Basic! NEW Glaminatrix Cosmetics Palette

Introduction

Hello everyone, it's Cat, and I'm back today, living my best life! Why? Because I’ve just discovered my new favorite eyeshadow palette: the Barely Basic Palette by Glaminatrix Cosmetics. This indie brand from Australia has truly outdone themselves. If you follow my channel, you know my previous favorite was the Nearly Natural Palette by Glaminatrix, but this new addition might just top it.

The Barely Basic Palette features a nude color story and follows a similar format to their previous Pretty in Pastel Palette. It contains two rows of shimmers and three rows of mattes, organized in an innovative column layout. Each column represents a cohesive color story, making the palette incredibly user-friendly.

The packaging is a beautiful shimmery copper, which I adore. Inside, you’ll find shades with quirky names that fit the basic theme: OOTD (Outfit of the Day), Get Ready With Me, #Viral, Follow, Comment, and more. Not only are the names fun, but the colors themselves are to die for!

Swatches and Layout

The Barely Basic Palette contains 20 shades, each with about 1g of product. Here's the detailed swatch breakdown:

First Column (Neutral/Mauve)

  • OOTD: Duo-chrome shifting shades.

All in all, the Barely Basic Palette is perfect for anyone who loves indie cosmetics and wants an everyday palette. The quality is exceptional with blendable mattes and stunning shimmers. It's a must-have!
