review: morphe x jaclyn hill (divine neutrals eyeshadow palette)

YouTube is a passion of mine. I love watching videos related to makeup, fashion, lifestyle, and even theme parks. (Especially theme parks. I've been watching a ton of theme park related content since the pandemic began. I suppose I am living vicariously!) There are some YouTubers that I love more than others. One that has been on my list of loves for several years is Jaclyn Hill. I actually started watching her videos after falling in love with her original eyeshadow palette with Morphe. Since then, I have tried several different products from her...though I haven't yet tried anything from Jaclyn Cosmetics just yet. One day! For now, I am putting the Morphe x Jaclyn Hill Divine Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette to good use. 

I am a sucker for a good neutral palette. Though I am always trying to step out of my comfort zone and do something fun and colourful...my instinct tends to be to reach for a nice warm neutral. I just love shimmery metallics and variations of browns. Thankfully, the Divine Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette has a combination of both. The top row has six velvet matte shades (with a soft cream for blending and light, medium, and dark brown colours) and the bottom row has six shimmer shadows (with champagne shades, golds, and shades of brown) for lots and lots of variety. Even though this is an all neutral palette, there are a lot of different looks that can be created. Something all matte, all shimmer, or a combination of the two. As you can see from the swatches above, there is an impressive amount of colour payoff. These shadows perform well and blend easily. I especially love how soft and richly pigmented the matte shades are. A little bit goes a long way. As for the shimmers, these are beautiful and add lots of shine. Some of the shimmers are a little creamier than others, but they all look gorgeous. 

The packaging for this Jaclyn Hill eyeshadow palette is simple, but does the trick. It comes in a pretty simple cardboard package with a simple neutral design on the front. While it is nothing over the top or elaborate, it fits in well with the neutral theme. Something else I love? The names inside. There are some really fun eyeshadow shade names, like Chic Happens, Cinnamon Roll, and Birthday Suit. All in all, this is a really stellar release and I love been loving it. Ready to see the palette in action? Here is a makeup look using the Morphe x Jaclyn Hill Divine Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette...

The shade Good Vibes was used through the crease and Birthday Suit was used on the first third of the lid. Then Drippin' was applied to the remainder of the lid, for a little contrast in the shades of gold. To add a little extra depth to the look, Cinnamon Roll was applied to the outer corner and along the lower lash line. Awe Luxe was added to the inner corner and underneath the brow bone to complete the look. Ready to take a closer look at the palette? It was included in a recent favourites video on my YouTube channel...along with a few other items that I have been loving lately. Take a look!
