Juvia's Place Nubian Eyeshadow Palette - REVIEW

11/24/2018


Još otkako sam prvi put saznala za Juvia's Place palete imala sam ogromnu želju isprobati ih pogotovo nakon čitanja brda pozitivnih recenzija/komentara. Prolazili su tako mjeseci i mjeseci, a ja nikako da naručim paletu sve dok Juvia's Place na Instagramu nije objavila da imaju 40% popusta na sve svoje proizvode. Naravno da sam znala da ću odmah napraviti narudžbu samo sam se dvoumila koju paletu odabrati (jer ako niste bili na njihovoj stranici ne znate da je tamo jedna paleta ljepša od druge i izbor je ful težak). Na kraju je izbor pao na, da tako kažem, back-to-basics paletu, a radi se o njihovom prvijencu- Nubian paleti. Nakon podužeg isprobavanja i igranja s njom mislim da je pravo vrijeme da vam natipkam recenziju.

Ever since I first found out about Juvia's Place palettes my huge wish was to try them out especially after reading so many positive things about them. Months and months passed by and I never got around ordering until one day Juvia's Place posted a code on Instagram for 40% off all of their products. Immediately I knew I am going to place an order but wasn't sure what to choose (because if you haven't been on their website you probably don't know that the decision is extremely hard). At the end I decided to go back-to-basics with their first ever- Nubian palette. After trying it for quite some time now it's just about right to share my thoughts on it with you in this review.



Osnovno o proizvodu:
  •  Cijena: $20 (oko 130 kn)

Riječ brenda: ,,The Nubian Palette by Juvia's was inspired by an African Empire in old Egypt headed by the beauty icon Nefertiti. Famously endowed with strength and spirituality. This palette consists of 12 shades beautifully coordinated to be reflective on Golds, Coppers, Browns and Nudes as seen in an Egyptian Empire˝

Ambalaža

Nubian paleta dolazi u kartonskoj ambalaži iste zelene boje i motiva kao i na samoj paleti. Na poleđini ambalaže nalazi se popis sastojaka, ''riječ brenda'' i rok valjanosti (12 mjeseci nakon otvaranja). Jedina stvar koja nije navedena (a po meni bi itekako trebala biti) jest gramaža palete odnosno količina proizvoda koji se u njoj nalazi. Malo sam istražila i saznala kako sadrži 18 grama proizvoda što je 1,5 g po sjenilu. Prilično dobra količina uzmemo li u obzir omjer cijene i kvalitete. Sama paleta ima zatvaranje na magnet, a sjenila su prekrivena zaštitnom folijom za dodatnu sigurnost. Mali minus također moram dati zbog toga što nijanse nisu imenovane pa to može biti nezgodno pogotovo osobama koje se bave snimanjem tutoriala jer realno puno je lakše ljudima reći naziv nijanse koji ste koristili nego govoriti ''drugo sjenilo u trećem redu...''. Vidim da to nije slučaj kod svih ostalih paleta koje su izbacili nakon ove pa kako je Nubian njihova prva paleta ikad to možda možemo pripisati i nekakvoj početničkoj grešci.
Sastoji se od ukupno 12 sjenila od kojih je 4 mat te 8 shimmerastih nijansi.

Nijanse

Obzirom da se radi o proizvodu koji je, kako brend kaže, inspiriran drevnim Egiptom prevladavaju tople, zlatne, brončane, bakrene i smeđe nijanse. Sve nijanse su baš po mom ukusu jer se jako lako kombiniraju kako za dnevni tako i za večernji look. Čak se i neka sjenila koja se ne čine toliko nosiva (crvenkaste nijasne) jako lijepo uklapaju u dnevni makeup. Paletu koristim već nekoliko mjeseci i mogu reći da sam do sada koristila apsolutno sva sjenila iz nje. Svako sjenilo mi je predivno (vidjet ćete kasnije i na swatchevima koliko su divna) no definitivno najposebnija nijansa je prva nijansa u drugome redu. Radi se o predivnom roskastom sjenilu toplog podtona koje ima jako zanimljivi zlatni odsjaj. Stvarno jedna posebna nijansa sa kojom se do sada nisam imala prilike sresti.

Tekstura i Pigmentacija

Na području teksture i pigmentiranosti paleta mi je pri samom vrhu svega što sam do sada isprobala. Sjenila su predivna, putrasta, lako se nanose, nadograđuju, predivno blendaju... Nisu praškasta pa nema muka po trušenju. Stvarno im po tom pitanju nisam uspjela pronaći niti jednu jedinu zamjerku, doista jako dobro odrađen posao. Pigmentacija je također za svaku pohvalu i stvarno mogu reći da što se pigmentacije tiče niti jedno sjenilo nije zakazalo što se može vidjeti i po swatchevima, ali i tjekom svakodnevnog korištenja.

Trajnost

Trajnost je pored teksture i pigmentacije svakako najvažnija karakteristika bilo kojeg sjenila, a ovdje me oduševila. Inače imam masne kapke i u slučaju kada bi samo malo korektora kao bazu ova sjenila su bila na mjestu dobrih 10 sati i to bez ikakvog nakupljanja u pregibima što mi je posebice važno s obzirom da imam malkice spuštene kapke. Vjerujem da znate koliki je problem izdržljivost makeupa na masnim kapcima tako da na ovom područu od mene ima jedan veliki plus.
Da zaključim, Nubian paletu preporučila bi apsolutno svakome, a posebno osobama poput mene koje obožavaju ovakve zemljane, brončane i zlatne tonove jer ćete se zaljubiti u paletu (znam da ja jesam). Strašno mi je drago što sam ju kupila, a znam da nije niti zadnja koju naručujem. Sjenilima nisam uspjela pronaći niti jednu jedinu zamjerku. Otkad sam je kupila svaki put kada bi nosila look sa sjenilom na očima bila je to uglavnom Nubianka. Meni je to dokaz dobro uloženog novca u kvalitetan proizvod. Omjer cijene, kvalitete i količine je po meni odličan, a ako je uspijete uhvatiti na nekom od sniženja još i bolji. Svi njihovi proizvodi su veganski i cruelty free.

Packaging

Palette is packaged in green box same color and with the same motiv as on the palette itself. On the back you can find list of ingredients, brands description and expiring date (12 months since opening). The only thing missing on the box (which should've definitely been stated) is how much product (in grams or ounces) do you actually get within the palette. I did a little bit of a research and found out that it contains 18 grams/0.63 ounces of product which is 0.053 ounces per eyeshadow. Pretty good amount considering the price-quality ratio. Palette has magnetic closure and comes with transparent plastic on eyeshadows for extra protection. I have to give it a little minus cause none of the eyeshadows are named which might be a little impractical if you are someone who films/does tutorials etc. since it's always easier to mention name of shade you used than having to say ''second shadow in the third row...'' for example. As I've seen this is not the case with any of the palettes which were released after this one and since Nubian is really their first palette ever we can consider this to be nothing more than beginners mistake.
Palette contains 12 eyeshadows, 4 matt and 8 shimmer shades.

Shades

Since the product is inspired by old Egypt color scheme is very warm, gold, bronzy and coppery. All of the shades are right up my alley because you can so easily make them work in both daytime and nighttime looks. Combinations are endless. Even some of the shadows that don't seem very wearable (red/copper shades) on day to day basis are very much the opposite. I've been using Nubian for the past few months now and can honestly say that I used absolutely every single eyeshadow. All shades are divine to me but the one which stood out the most is first shade in second row. It's a beautiful rosy shade with a very interesting gold shift to it. Definitely the most special shade within the palette, something I never seen before.

Texture & Pigmentation

When it comes to texture and pigmentation this palette is on absolute top in comparison to everything else I've tried so far. Eyeshadows are beautiful, buttery, easy to apply, easy to layer and blend very nicely as well. They are also not powdery so the amount of fallout is minimal. In this category I can't seem to find anything negative to say about Nubian palette, it's just the way it is supposed to be. A job well done! Pigmentation is great, not only when it comes to darker eyeshadows but every single one in the palette is beautifully pigmented. You will be able to see it on swatches but also by using it in real life.

Logevity

Longevity is next to texture and pigmentation definitely one of the most important characteristics speaking of eyeshadows in general but in this case I was pleasantly surprised with how long lasting they actually are. I have oily eyelids and on days when I used only a little bit of concealer as a base this eyeshadows would last on my eyelids for solid 10 hours.  All that without any creasing. I believe you all know what kind of a struggle longevity is on oily eyelids so in this category Nubian gets another big plus from me

To sum up, I would recommend Nubian palette to absolutely everyone especially if you are like me and love all the gold, earthy and bronze shades because you are going to fall in love with it (I know I did). I honestly couldn't be more glad that i've decided to purchase it and know for sure it is not going to be the only Juvia's palette in my collection. There is simply no negative side to this eyeshadows in my opinion. Ever since it arrived whenever I would wear a makeup look that included eyeshadow it would almost always be this palette. That is a sign of a money well invested in a quality product. Price-amount-quality ratio is absolutely amazing but if you manage to catch it on sale it's even better. All of Juvia's Place products are vegan and cruelty free.

    1. Da, za samo jednu paletu poštarina je oko 20$ no ako uzmeš 2 ili više onda pada na 10$ što je ok s obzirom da su prije par dana sve palete bile snižene 45% pa kad se sve zbroji i oduzme isplati se svakako :) Uskoro se otvara i UK stranica Juvia's Place-a pa nećemo morati brinuti o carini/porezu prilikom naručivanja ako svote budu veće
