The Venus XL palette is a very pretty palette that I've been enjoying for summer. It is filled with rustic reds, pinks, bronze, gold, and berries shades. While I've known about Limecrime for years, I never picked up a palette before. This palette retails for 79$ in Canada but I was able to pick it up at Winners for a discount and decided to give it a try because I loved the color theory of this palette. It's very unique to my collection. This palette has 4 finishes to the shades: matte, sparkle matte, metallic, glow. I do find the formula to be different from the many palettes that I own. It has a mix of warm and cool toned shades.
Limecrime defines the finishes by the following:
- Matte: Buttery smooth and totally matte.
- Matte sparkle: Same matte formula you love but with sparkle!
- Glow: Soft, luminous finish. Not satin, not shimmer. It's glow!
- Metallic: Ultra-shiny shimmer!
As a person who loves metallic shades, I don't get that in this palette. Most of the shades are more subtle. I do find the palette to be very pigmented and long lasting. It does have a drier formula that crumbles a bit when swatching however, when applying them to the eye, I have no issues. The drier shades are the more red ones. It comes in a sturdy cardboard packaging with a nice mirror. The packaging is pretty thick compared to other palettes I own.
This palette is beautiful and I'm happy to have it, even more happy that I picked it up on sale. It's a great summer and fall palette. I would love to try more Limecrime products now that I've tried this palette. Their eyeshadow formula is very nice and easy to use.
