Morphe 35T First Impression & Swatches

There has always been such a huge hype around Morphe products and their amazing palettes.

Morphe are a fantastic brand and have such a wide range of products - brushes, concealers, eyeshadow palettes, contour palettes and more. Although they aren't based in Australia, they are available on a few of my favourite Aussie websites - I buy mine off Beauty Bay and you can officially now get them from Crush Cosmetics as of today, August 5th 2016!

So, onto the main subject of today's post - my latest purchase, the Morphe 35T!

Well, let me start by saying HOLY GUACAMOLE this palette is absolutely unreal and has exceeded my expectations by a mile! From reading a thousand reviews, watching a million first impressions on YouTube and Googling a tonne of swatches, I knew that it was going to be good... But this good?!

The palette includes 35 eyeshadow pans that are all 1" each in size - at $34.10 for the entire palette, that works out at $0.97 AUD per pan! The shadows are designed so that you can use them either dry or wet - I prefer to use my Mac Fix + if I'm using the shadows wet as I do with most of my other palettes. There is a mixture of mattes, shimmers, metallics and a few sheens in the mix all in very neutral and classic taupe tones.

It's funny actually, I was all set up in my new studio (yay) taking the photos for this post and the second I dipped my finger in the first pan I could have sworn I felt myself welling up - I honestly could not believe the quality of the shadows! Each pan is so unique in it's own way and so buttery and easy to apply. Of course sometimes you can be let down when you apply shadows to your lid after having it swatch so perfectly on your finger but the Morphe 35T is the exception of this - they apply perfectly on the lid and are extremely easy to blend out.

So, on to the part that you've all been waiting for...

THE SWATCHES!

If you couldn't tell already by now, I have fallen absolutely madly in love with this palette and will most definitely be purchasing a lot more from Morphe. I honestly think that I could get rid of my entire eyeshadow palette collection and just opt for all Morphe products and my life would be complete but lets be real, I can't do that - I'm too attached to my makeup to let it go!

I'm currently on about 4 different wait lists for the Morphe 35F (Fall into Frost) Palette and simply need it in my life, it just feels like I've been waiting forever! (obviously because it's so popular) Also, just a quick shoutout to Morphe's brushes - They're really great quality brushes and are very affordable (especially for us Aussie people). If you've never tried anything from Morphe, I really believe that you're missing out - I am kicking myself that I didn't try their shadows sooner!
