Huda Beauty is dropping her new eyeshadow palette TODAY and it looks A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
Give me the Deets Sis!
So, the 18-well eyeshadow palette that released today is called Mercury Retrograde and features 9 Buttery Mattes, 6 High Shine Creamy Metalics, 1 Glitter Powder and 2 Sheer Multi – Reflective Shadows. The palette is based on a crystal called Crystal Aurora Borealis. It’s clear but with a rainbow-like film that reflects beautiful pinks, purples and blues when in the light.
Why is it called Mercury Retrograde?
When Huda Kattan and her team were working on the palette back in March 2019, they faced some challenges to get the formula right and couldn’t figure out a name for the product.
Someone at the lab said that it’s probably been so hard because we’re in Mercury Retrograde and it turns out they actually were. So, the palette was given its name! Interesting story right?
Well Mercury Retrograde is a period of time when things don’t seem to be going right. It’s a time for reflection and to be more patient with yourself and the struggles you face. AND today aka the release date is ALSO another Mercury Retrograde – when the planet Mercury appears to be moving backwards (it’s not).
So, the energy that was put into making this palette was a lot more than you think and we can’t get enough of how gorgeous it looks.
But wait…there’s more!
Huda Beauty has also come out with a limited edition brush set with three dual-ended acrylic eyeshadow brushes. The Pack & Blend Brush, Fender Blender Brush and the Contour & Blend Brush are really soft and come in a gorgeous holographic make up bag. Cute, right?
