PONY's BEAUTY DIARY x MEMEBOX Palette Review

 


Hey guys, today I have a review + swatches of the Memebox Pony palette for you.
I was super duper duper excited to hear that this palette was coming to the Memebox global site, as I had previously spotted it on the Memebox Korea site.
I am a huge fan of Pony, she is so beautiful, talented and I watch all of her tutorials.
Being such a fan girl, obviously I needed this palette.
I know I'm pretty late reporting on this...but here it is now.


MEMEBOX DESCRIPTION
Heralded as Korea’s leading beauty vlogger, Pony is one of the most recognizable faces of Korea’s beauty experts. Through her educational books and blog posts, her insightful videos and makeup tutorials on her YouTube show Pony’s Beauty Diary, Pony inspires millions of viewers with her product knowledge, makeup artistry, and beauty secrets.
The Pony x MEMEBOX collaboration brings a collection that empowers fans to create exquisite looks that capture the values of Shine, Easy, Glam. The first in an ongoing series of makeup and skincare masterpieces, the Pony x MEMEBOX Eyeshadow Palette comes with subtly sensuous colors that will resonate whether you’re feeling show-stopping or au naturel.


Easy Base - Satin ivory shade.
Easy Shadow - Matte tan shade. It reminds me of a cross between Naked & Buck from the UD Naked palette. Great blending shade.
Easy Charcoal - Deep matte charcoal brown. I used this as a subtle winged liner.
Easy Brown - Similar to Easy Shadow but more brown than tan.

These matte shades are ok. They're not crazy pigmented. However, as they aren't very pigmented, they are very easy to blend and build up to the intensity you're happy with.


Shine Rosegold - Shimmery rose gold. It is the sheerest out of the 4 shimmer shades. Easier to pick up with your fingers than with a brush.
Shine Gold - I wouldn't have called this a shade gold myself. It is definitely a rich copper and is the most pigmented of the shimmer shades.
Glam Espresso - Deep taupe shade, with a slight purple undertone to it.
Glam Cocoa - Deep brown with red/orange undertones.

I am wearing all the shades in this look...not that you can even tell...but they are there XD

These shimmer shades are beautiful, though not as shimmery as I had actually expected. I love the Shine Rosegold shade, it's just a shame it was a little difficult to pick up with a brush.

Overall this is a lovely palette. It is nothing mind blowing, though it is definitely better than cheap drugstore products, but it is certainly no Urban Decay.
I wish the matte shades were as buttery as the shimmer shades, but you can't have everything.
I actually do quiet enjoy all the shades in this palette and if you're looking for a mix of matte and shimmer this will be perfect for you.

You can purchase this palette from the Memeshop for $18



Furthermore, this baby was just spotted on Memebox Korea's Instagram profile.
A second Pony palette YAY!


This palette looks absolutely gorgeous and the shimmery shades are perfect for the holiday season.
Finger's crossed the global site does not take an eternity to stock this beaut!
Can I also just say that the look Pony created with this palette is STUNNING!
I wish they would create a Pony box collab already! Memebox Korea has had Pony collab boxes...MEMEBOX PLEASE GIVE THE GLOBAL SITE A PONY COLLAB BOX...I BEG OF YOU!!!
But, for now. These Pony palettes will keep me satisfied.
So excited >_< ... PONY PONY!
