bareMinerals The Neutral Attraction Palette Review (and it's on sale!)

I picked up the bareMinerals Neutral Attraction Palette back in June just before my vacation and I kept meaning to do a review on it since it's great for travel. Now I'm actually glad I waited because it's currently on Sephora's sale page for $29 (regular price is $45). 

Neutral eyeshadow palettes are a dime a dozen these days but they're also they kind of shades I wear most often. I already own several neutral eyeshadow palettes, but what set this apart for me was the fact that it also contains blushes, bronzer, and a luminizer all in one place. It makes it that much easier to get ready in the morning!

I've actually become a bit of a face palette hoarder lately, and not just because they're great for bringing along on trips...it's because they're so easy to use every day when I'm short on time. I don't have to think about which products to pair together, just grab a palette, foundation, and mascara and go. 

Let's take a closer look...

The Neutral Attraction Palette comes in a slim, cardboard compact with a magnetic closure and a mirror inside. It houses six eyeshadows, two blushes (one shimmer, one matte), one luminizer, and one bronzer.

The vibe of this palette is very soft, easy, no-makeup makeup. If you're the kind of person who wants to look really natural and fresh, you're going to love these shades. But if you're into brighter, bolder shades, you might find this one to be a bit boring and safe. 

Eyeshadows:
The formula of the eyeshadows is very soft, so you'll see a bit of fallout with these. They're also nicely pigmented and long-lasting on the eyes. The shades are mostly matte, with the exception of Heavenly Halo, which is a shimmery silver shade, and Pumped which is a cocoa brown with gold shimmer. The interesting thing about Pumped is that it doesn't look shimmery on the eye...the overall shadow is a soft matte brown but you just see a sparkle every now and then.

Blushes:
There are two blushes, The Big Break which is a soft, shimmery peachy pink, and The Limelight, which is a beautiful mid-toned pink shade. I love them both individually and also mixed together...so pretty!

Luminizer:
The Premiere is a rosy gold luminizer that's very soft...it's not an in-your-face kind of highlight, it looks really pretty and natural on your cheeks. If you like a bolder highlight, you can also use the Heavenly Halo eyeshadow, which really makes your cheekbones pop.

Bronzer:
The Ocean View bronzer is a gorgeous, soft shade that works perfectly with my fair-to-light skintone. It's also a perfect transition shade, so I use it on my eyes as well.

Overall, I have been loving this palette all summer and I'm sorry it took me so long to share it with you guys!

Thankfully, it's on sale at Sephora right now, so you can grab it for $29! 

What are your thoughts? Are you as into face palettes as I am lately?
