Your top 2 are my top 2 from the 4 Pro Slim palettes that I have. The Vintage Soul is definitely the most unique but I also enjoy the New Gen Nudes and the 2 others I have. I keep thinking about getting the Blushing Ocean palette for the convenience of having the shades in one palette but I have similar colours in other palettes and singles. Thanks for your thoughts on the palettes and for an enjoyable video.
The drugstore in Tbilisi has Catrice makeup and after seeing the New Gen Nudes on RU-vid I decided to get it and I’m excited to try it out. Looks so pretty. This is my first experience with this brand and if I like it I’ll try more products like mascara. Do you have any recommendations and favorites in Catrice mascara lineup? 😊
Hi Maaike I only have one of these and it is the lavender one you said was poor quality. I'm so ultra fair it does actually show up on me, but it's not a favourite palette I have to confess. I like the 5 in a box ones I have better, but eyeshadow isn't where it's at for me with Catrice as I like their lip products better usually. The lilac 5 in a box colour story is such a me colour story that it does get a fair amount of use, but I'm always going to prefer the quality/performance of viseart shadows. I bought a lilac matte liquid shadow from Lottie London and that's a great base for the lilac 5 in a box - it intensifies the lilac even more (Elf does a similar shade in their putty eyeshadows that would also work). I don't buy that much eyeshadow as you know and I really do use the makeup I have that works well for me regularly. I hate glitter on my 51 year old textured/hooded eyes, so soft shimmers work far better for me as my lid shade. Best wishes.
Hi Maaike, when it comes to Catrice eyeshadows are not something that gets me excited... It's such a hit and miss and most of the newer pro slim palettes are just too repetitive and light for my liking and the 5 in a box ones I don't like the quality of. I do have couple of amazing single eyeshadows though. Speaking of their new releases, I was very surprised to see some of their fall/winter products in store yesterday. It was just nail polishes, some glow booster, some lip products and brow products. A german website that announced the full release stated that we're going to get a new 5 in a box (kind of peachy sadly!) and tons of other products and to me it just looked a bit too much! Still, knowing myself I might pick up one of the lip glosses lol. Have a great day! x
The full line should launch at the end of August. I already saw some products online but most of it is still out of stock. 75% of the new collection are nail polishes though so not something I will be picking up.
When you first said that you had all 9 of them, I was like...wait, did she say 9? I thought I had them all, but I don't have 9 of them, or do I? I had to check and yes, I do have them all 😂 Anyway, like always I loved this video and I agree with everything you said as I have had the same experiences with them. 😊
It is so sad that Catrice discontinues their products so often. I picked up another 2 Better than Fake glosses in the shade lifting nude while they are still around in some places. I wish they just kept some of their standouts a little bit more.
Sometimes it has to do with formulations. I think they only buy formulas from factories for a limited run and then redo everything again. But yeah, it seems very wasteful to redo entire collections every 6 months.
@@FloatinginDreams Yeah, that makes sense. Luckily, there are websites/stores that carry their products even after they were discontinued with the stock that they have, so one can stock up on favorites. I have 3 unopened lipglosses in lifting nude, so that will be enough for some time.
Catrice has been mentioned on social media here in the USA recently and you are the first content provider who seems to a finger on the pulse of their product line. Would you give me a short answer on the contrast between Colorpop and Catrice? I understand Colorpop isn't the inexpensive and found everywhere product in Europe like it is here in the US (especially in CA where it's facility is 60 miles from me). I can find basically anything cosmetic related in the greater Hollywood area. However, if their formulas are basically the same, I can find the same color stories in Colorpop. If this is too much trouble, just pass on an answer and I'll understand.
Catrice over here is like Wet N Wild, ELF or Milani in the US. So more of a traditional drugstore brand. They are owned by the same company as Essence. Formula wise Catrice has some stunning products, but so does Colourpop. Both however, I have found to be very hit n miss. I love Catrice mainly for lip products, base products (primer, foundation, concealer), and things like bronzer, highlighter and concealer. Eyeshadow they are not the best at but they do the occasional gem. So I would recommend Colourpop for eyeshadow, but Catrice for the rest.
Thanks for your thoughtful reply. When you added Wet n Wild and Essense into your answer, I can now totally see where Catrice fits. Following your channel is somewhat like stepping onto a moving train. Hoping to learn more as I keeping watching.
