I just want to say I think you are the best reviewer on RU-vid! I'm so happy to see you're reaching more people. I've been here since close to the beginning, and I always look forward to your reviews even if I have no interest in the product. For example, I don't like skin tints but I learned a lot from your latest Hourglass review. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into your reviews.
I've been feeling miserable in bed for the past few days and just as miserable at how badly so many were applying these stunningly beautiful eye-shadows when watching for someone to finally do these justice. Congratulations!!! You're the first I've seen who has actually understood the aesthetic of the Prada brand and how these eye-shadows, in particular, were meant to be used. All I've seen so far is everyone desperately trying to blend these out so that I'm left straining to see the colour. You did what Prada had in mind - using the pop of colour so it can be seen, without hiding it instead. For two days, I've been so completely disappointed at how so many have failed to grasp some kind of imagination to make a cohesive look from these palettes. Your final thoughts summed up quite well just who should be buying this release. For all those who tried to hide the pop of colour, these palettes arent for them. They're for someone like myself, who picked up a Byredo Eye Palette Quint the other week, but wants all of these palettes because they aren't the same boring colour stories we are continually being served up. I ordered all four of the Chanel Byzance Collection of Quads and I can't wait to get stuck into those bold colours we've finally been gifted by Chanel. On the rare occassion Chanel serves up colour, the last thing you do is hide it, yet let it vibrantly stand out in all of its glory. Yet again, over the last few days, no-one has even tried to build up any colour, even to line with! The range is based on Byzantine Jewel-tones, which are not meant to be hidden away. There are two Quads that have softer shades, yet when used, I can't even see them on the lid at all. Doesn't anyone have an imagination anymore? You've given me great joy to have found your video and finally seen justice worked with these Prada palettes. My problem is going to be possibly waiting until next year to purchase these beauties from Prada in Australia! I can suffer the wait, just as long as they do come. I'm not about to ship from the other side of the globe and destroy our environment anymore than it has been. Thanks for restoring my hope in creativity! 🇦🇺💖👩🏼🎨
This collection looks stunning!! And I love the eye looks you created 👌🏼 I think it’s genius that the eye palettes have 3 wearable shades and 1 fun shade,…for those of us who want to play but not super adventurous to do an all-out colorful look
If people buy TF QUADS, THE FOUNDATION PRICE IS LOW. OR comparing to SISLEY, LA MER, CHANTECAILLE. AND THE CLE DE PEAU (you can get 3 if these ) so excited to see this. I adore watching you. You are so fun and spot on with the reviews. You give the truth. Edit. Your skin is flawless too 😊😊😊. And I’m dry. Face and lips.
I agree, you are the best makeup reviewer here on RU-vid. Extremely clear and competent. This shadows seem to be very soft in the pan, it looks like they can break easily using them. They remind me of a Shiseido palette I had in my early 20s (at the beginning of the nineties 😅) I was in love with. Love this review thank you
I use the Profusion almost everyday. Makes my green eyes really pop and subtle if you want it to be. I am in my 60’s and this is by far my favorite eyeshadow palette
this collection is even more beautiful in person. the lipsticks are GORGEOUS!!! the shade lava looks incredible on you!!! i loveeeed both of the looks you created and would absolutely rock them myself, especially the profusion quad. give me allllll the drama, edge, and shimmer!!! 😍😍😍
Sofia!!! Wow! What a collection! Profusion is the one for me! So striking and wearable at the same time. Uggh I wasn’t looking at this launch at all and now I want that palette and Lava lipstick. Darn it! Lol. Thank you for your thoughts and demos as always! I will see if I can grab. Those things with your link but Lava is not available 🥹
Excellent review! I'm wearing the Portrait eye palette (with the purple); it's beautiful and with a soft hand and Sonia G. brushes you can really make it a soft neutral look. Also, I found the purple to be easy to use and it looks nice when layered with the other colors in the palette. I bought only 1 lipstick: the Hyper Matte in Rose Quartz, which is a beautiful your lips but better neutral pink. I agree that once it has set down it barely transfers and after having eaten something, the color is still there and doen't transfer at all - very impressive! Generally, I don't like mattes, so I tried it on top of the Guerlain Bee Glow lip balm and it resulted in a very comfortable wear, with excellent longevity and the sam non-transfer result.
Did you review the Lisa Eldridge liquid lipsticks? I have been surprised that so many of you, who review high end, either skipped the product completely or skipped reviewing them. Thanks for the video!💚
I have a video coming up soon comparing with the Valentino. There’s been so many liquid lipsticks released lately that it can kind of be hard to keep up. A lot of creators probably save up to showcase her bigger collections cause it’s a niche brand that offers no payouts. Not very economical to feature a full review of every little release
These are fun! I have yet to spend any make up money this year, minus foundation, concealer, mascara- basics. No company has convinced me to spend this year! Lucky me so far. I do like the purple and green palettes. But these are fun to see on you and a little edgy/fun creative.
Love all your videos Sofia! They are always so well thought out and thorough! The Profusion palette is stunning on you as is the red lipstick. I keep looking online at the eyeshadow palette with the purple in it so now I may buy it since you like the formula. Thanks for all the hard work you put into planning, filming, and editing your videos. I could watch them all day long!
The lipsticks are amazing! I hoy two of the hyper mattes… ay first they seem sheer but somehow for me The color payoff and pigmentation appears within seconds… super comfortable formula… im definitely getting more
Oh these quads are so gorgeous. I’m a goner! My only question is which one to get first!😍 I knew I wanted to try the soft matte lipstick, but after seeing the hyper matte I want to try that too! Prada is coming for my wallet and I’m not mad about it!
Looks like they're launching this as a standalone makeup line in early 2024. This is a pretty impressive debut and seems very well thought out, from the style of the packaging to the actual products and formulas. I love the attention to detail. Looks like this is them expanding in a big way, so they're taking this release very seriously. I think that soft launching it like this was a great idea, too - see the public reaction and whet the appetite for the official launch in a few months' time. Good to see a fashion house having some creativity and energy in their launches.
Wow, your eyes look amazing with those eye shadow palettes, the best eye looks ever on you! The colours worked perfectly with your skin one and hair colour, and eye colour.
All of the products look so beautiful! Checking this out because they will be at Sephora online tomorrow! I love the Profusion Quad! The packaging looks great! Do you still enjoy the products?
Nice review Sofia. Sign me up! They EVERYTHING is spectacular!!! The way you say the word "Orange" is so east coast. My grandpa was from Massachusetts and I would love the hear him say the word Orange oh and also the word Car. Those are the words that stick out in my memory, but he had more words that he said differently than me being from California. Thanks Sofia for bringing that iconic memory back to me!
I love the looks you created, Sofia! Especially the acid green one! It looks so good on you! I definitely would’ve worn this chic look when I was younger! ❤❤❤ I love the lipsticks and I may have to break down and get the nude one! I think I could definitely wear it! 😮❤ That foundation looks very pretty and I’m going to wait in it and try to use the others I’ve bought recently. But I think I’d like it! The soft mattes get a little questionable on my dry skin too. Some days I can wear them, other days not do much. And I most definitely relate to the dryness around the mouth issue!! I’ve been experiencing that a lot lately and I can’t tell if it’s aging or the foundation! 😮😢 Thabks for another amazing review!! Oh and I really appreciate that you took the time to explain how we can use the pops of color in the eyeshadows!! 🙏🏻
Another thorough review! I’m interested in your reviews even if I’m not necessarily interested in the products (right now anyway). I love Prada as a brand and I’m not surprised that their cosmetics are thoughtful and unique. Thanks for everything that you do!
Oh gosh I love the lava lipstick it's not available I'll get it later. But I ordered rubino and the fuchsia They are bright. Whoo Rubio looks blue red where lava you said was orange red. These should look beautiful with my grey silver hair.
Well, no sooner did I finish leaving my comment below that I went straight to your Prada shopping link and bought the purple palette (Portrait) AND the hyper matte lipstick in Notte and I’m not even a matte lipstick person. You convinced me! LOL!
Just stumbled on your channel. I loved your in depth review of the products. I did buy the Profusion palette and a lipstick. Thank you for your review! I cannot wait to see more of your videos!
Wow, it all looks fabulous on you, dear Sofia!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩It's not yet here in Europe, well, Selfridges and Harrods but these shops arre out of my reach living in The Netherlands, since Brexit. Would i buy this foundation, maybe, it's nice, but i'm 53 with more dry sensitive skin. I love a foundation with a good coverage with my redness, but yes, we all want it flawless...The eyeshadows, the ones you used look so pretty on you, really!!! However i would not choose such wild colours its just not me anymore now. But i also saw one with purple and one with green, that speaks more to me, than. But nice! Prada is not scared that people buy less, they just celebrate fashion in their makeup i think, they dare to make makeup there, which makes that i am maybe interested in the brand. However, Gucci, i only love their bronzer in shade 1, i must say. EU makeup is mostly so over-fraganced still, i would want to read each and every ingredient first! But beautiful and different Sofia, thanks for another super good and super honest video!!!!😘😘😘😘😘😘
Ah now I want the lipsticks 😂 I’m loving the foundation, such a nice formula. I was going to pass on the eyeshadows but I just can’t resist so the husband is getting me one for my bday! I think I’m going to have to pick up a lipstick too now though…
Everything you show makes me want to buy! I have a question: I want to buy one of those beautiful palettes with green in it, and has my eye on the Hermes one, the Prada one and the Guerlain holiday one. Which one would you recommend in terms of colour and quality if I just buy one? Thank you
So happy to see you review these I ordered the purple and chartreuse palette now I want some lipsticks!! The foundation wasn’t available yet I can wait for that for Prada great price point!
Hi Sofia as usual such a great review🙌🙌🙌 So i was minding my own business, shopping fashion and jewelry and staying low on makeup buying, this year, and here this Prada videos all over RU-vid😳 so i thought i am not interested, but then matte blurring foundation and no fall out shadows, wow so now i want. I was thinking to get Surratt eyeshadows, new brand to me, which i love bronzer and blushes. I was looking for that neutral quiet luxury cohesive look, but now i intrigued by this. So question can these eyeshadows be worn more neutral not as pigmented, how would you compare to surratt eyeshadows ? I am looking to get the one that is more neutral probably, the one with purple, its still warm? , i think but not as warm , as blue one🤔 Now that matte lipstick is absolutely stunning. My favorite lipstick of all times, is Chanel matte one First light, its orangey red, definitely warm. I think its disscontinued😂, but i have back ups😜. But this one i definitely getting it, is the one that you got warm undertone red? I also like semi mate, but that one probably in neutral pink, would be nice.Thank you Sofia and Have a blessed day🙏❤️
Hi ! Are the lipstick refills usable on themselves ? Or do you need the case to go with ? Thank you for the ingredients list : too much alcohol for my sensitive skin and it is maybe why it is a bit drying on your already dry skin ...
This collection is so so unique. Debating to get one pallet. Got the new Chanel quads and they are a beauty! Wondering if you did a review on the new Chantelle (horse) collection or plan to? Sorry, forgetting the name of the collection :) TY
Looks so pretty on you! I need to see this foundation in action. It might be too matte for me. I like the moves toward sustainability in packaging. I sure wish releases were the same in all regions.
Both the eye looks were stunning and love ur honest n detailed reviews😊...wish I could get these in India bt will def try the hyper matte lipstick in near future..
Hello! I havent tried them yet! To be honest I never really like the luxury. Rand brushes cause they often feel plastic-y compared to what I can get from BK Beauty for example
Another great review vid! I am drawn to the eyeshadow palettes but I'm torn as to whether to buy one (or more). I think they would be nice to use with other pops of color from other palettes so they might be a nice addition. Something for me to think about. I'm more taken with your assessment of the lipsticks. I am typically not a matte girl but am very tempted by the Soft Matte. The shade you purchased is a perfect daily shade. On a separate note, will you be buying and reviewing the new Chantecaille collection? I'm particularly interested in the shadows.
Yay I am so glad you liked it! I am not going to review the Chantecaille collection because I already am not a huge fan of their single eyeshadows. I have 2 and rarely use them
Thank you for doing this review quickly. I ordered the 1st pallet; but, haven’t received it yet. The looks you created are stunning especially the second one. If you order just a refill, how is it packaged? Do you have to order the case for each one? The lipstick is beautiful too. 👏🏻👏🏻
I was waiting for this! May I ask what shade is the nude lipstick? I don't think you mentioned it? I know the red was Lava, but the nude? Thank youuuu 💜💜💜💜💜
