Made-Up: Juvia's Place The Saharan Palette (REVIEW)

Juvia's Place released some of their Saharan palettes early on Jan 24th, and I was so on it (thanks to ColourPop Cult on IG!) It shipped the next day and I had it in my hand on the 27th (Friday). Yay!! They will still be doing the full launch on Jan 30th.

Inside (duh, right?)

I did some packaging/palette size comparison shots between all of their palettes. It's one of their smaller ones. 

L-R: The Masquerade, The Nubian 2, The Saharan, The Nubian

Same palettes stacked to see size differences

Inside of all palettes

In terms of formula, and only finger-swatching, they feel so good! Smooth and buttery and super pigmented without primer. Wodaabe and Senegal literally feel so therapeutic, lol. The only 2 shades I had issues with were Jamila and Zoya. I had to swipe many times to get good color pay-off whereas the other shades, one swipe was enough. It's actually weird that they weren't consistent with the others. 

Pretty swatches

I found after ordering it and having just received the Kylie Royal Peach (and it fresh on my mind), that some shades could be similar. I did some swatch comparisons today and there are indeed a few shades that are.

Update- I am actually wearing the palette today (Jan 30th). I used Sokoto, Wodaabe and Katsina. All applied well on the lids as well. I usually apply my lid color, blend, then go back in with the color again on the parts I want more intensity. I did that with Sokoto. I put Urban Decay's Primer Potion on my lids and NYX's Glitter Glue only on the part I wanted to apply Wodaabe since it's a metallic shade.

Made-Up: Kylie Cosmetics Responded About the Chemical Smell of the Royal Peach Palette

There's a lot of buzz going around about the chemical/spray paint odor permeating from this palette. I address it in my YouTube video (check it out, 3:33 mins in). It didn't bother me at first (call me crazy) but because of all the hoopla online, I may have gotten a bit concerned so I decided to email them not too long ago, they responded in 15 minutes! Here is what they told me (and everyone else who inquired, lol):

"Hello Kifana, 

Thank you for emailing us! We really appreciate your feedback as we are always trying to improve.

Rest assured, your Royal Peach Palette is 100% safe to use! We have spoken with our Quality Assurance Team and they have informed us that the smell may have been caused by the palette being enclosed during transit.

We recommend keeping your palette open for 24-48 hours to diminish the smell. This is safe to do as long as you store your Royal Peach Palette in a cool, dry place away from UV rays!

We hope this helps out!

Thank you,

--
Best, Cristian O
Team Kylie Cosmetics"

I'm going to try that and update my post in a few days, although I have seen people on YouTube say they've tried it and it still has that odor. I wonder if this will turn into a "thing" like her lipstick brush applicators last year? In the meantime, check out my Instagram post with swatches or this YouTube swatch-only video (with some ColourPop Pressed Powder Shadows).
