Melt Cosmetics She’s in Parties Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
She's in Parties
Melt Cosmetics She’s in Parties 8-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($48.00 for 0.58 oz.) is a new, likely-permanent palette that takes the brand’s original stack (which included four shades) and extends the color story with four new shades in a slim, rectangular palette form.
I felt like all of the original shades were improved here to some degree, and the additional shades were well done. They were pigmented, blendable, long-wearing, and it was an easy palette to work with. Skeleton Kiss was the only one that was ho-hum in my experience but certainly workable.

Skeleton Kiss
Skeleton Kiss is a soft, yellowed-peach base with flecks of gold-to-pink shifting sparkle. It was less of a duochrome to me as the the more powdery base came through and seemed to cover some of the shimmer/sparkle in practice. The consistency was dense, almost thick, and had some fallout during application. It had good color payoff in a single layer and stayed on well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Strange Love
Strange Love is a light-medium purple with warmer undertones and more muted, slightly cooler shimmer and sparkle that gave it a sparkling, metallic finish that shifted slightly copper at certain angles. The eyeshadow felt more loosely-pressed in the pan, so a light hand was best when picking up product, and I preferred to press it on gently to avoid fallout. It had opaque color coverage that lasted well for eight hours before fading slightly.

Total Immortal
Total Immortal is a medium-dark lavender with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had excellent pigmentation that applied well to bare skin as the color went on evenly, blended well along the edges, and maintained its intensity. The consistency was soft, finely-milled, and a smidgen powdery in the pan but not during application. It wore well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Last Caress
Last Caress is a medium-dark plum with neutral-to-warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. It had barely-there micro-shimmer visible in a super close-up shot, but it seemed to just ensure that the product blended out with ease on my skin as it looked matte applied. It had opaque color coverage with a soft, blendable consistency that was lightly powdery in the pan but not prone to fallout. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

She's in Parties
She’s in Parties is a deep, reddened-copper with subtle, warm undertones and a smooth, pearly sheen. The texture felt slightly drier to the touch but smooth enough and not stiff to work with, so a dry brush picked up product without difficulty. It had rich pigmentation that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well. This shade lasted well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Sleep Walk
Sleep Walk is a rich, reddened-plum with moderate, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which adhered well to bare skin and blended out nicely along the edges. The consistency felt a bit drier to the touch, which had me concerned, but it picked up readily with a dry brush and was a cinch to apply. It wore nicely for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Meanstreak
Meanstreak is a rich burgundy with neutral-to-warm undertones paired with a matte finish. It had rich color coverage that applied evenly and blended out well–and that’s saying something as shades like this are normally workable but never easy. I was impressed by just how intense and deep the color was and yet it wasn’t a pressed pigment. The consistency was soft, smooth, and lightly powdery without being prone to fallout. There was visible fading after eight and a half hours of wear.
