Memebox Soothing Sista Eyeshadow Palette Review and Swatches

PR Sample

I was recently given the opportunity to test out the new Soothing Sista (AKA Stephanie Villa) Eyeshadow Quad ($17) from Memebox and I was really excited because I've been watching her tutorials on her You Tube Channel for a while now and I think she's awesome.  So...let's take a look!

The box the palette comes in has a photo of Stephanie on the front, standing outside her old apartment in San Francisco. The palette itself is black with her logo on the front. It feels super solid and not cheap or lightweight at all.  I love the sleekness of it...it's pretty thin and would be easy to travel with.

This palette is paraben free, cruelty-free and made in the USA!

The rosy brown shades are right up my alley...I love rose-toned shades. Each one is named after her favorite places in San Francisco:


Sutro is a light, dusty rose matte.
Valencia is a medium pinky-brown matte.
Candy Rain is a metallic rose shimmer with silver micro-glitter
Bae Area is a metallic pink shimmer with iridescent glitter.

Top: Sutro, Valencia
Bottom: Candy Rain, Bae Area

These shades swatch beautifully overall and they were soft and pigmented for the most part, with one exception... Bae Area didn't have a ton of pigmentation, but I can see using it over another shade rather than using it alone anyway.

Overall, this a beautiful palette and I'm happy to add it to my collection.  I've been playing around with it and getting some really soft, pretty looks that are neutral, but with a twist.

Here's a short video of Stephanie showing a look you can create with her palette:
