Review- Jesse's Girl 9-Pan Palettes



So I recently ordered a few of the Jesse's Girl palettes online with the Ipsy coupon code for February because I didn't get one of them in my Ipsy bag. Not gonna lie, the name kind of attracts me because my boything is Jesse so I'm actually Jesse's Girl. Stop judging me. 

I got three- The Eyes Have It, Brown-Eyed Girl, and Tickled Pink. They also sent me a bunch of little baggies with samples for the Eye Dust. So I've been trying out a bit of stuff. 

All of the colors feel the same- they're smooth and blend nicely, but some are clearly more pigmented than other. Across the board the lighter colors on the left end of the palettes are a lot more sheer. Still lovely, but sheer where the others pack a good punch. 

I haven't noticed any undue creasing, but I tend to wear some kind of primer underneath like the Maybelline Color Tattoos, so there's that. 


You'll please excuse the boything's leg and shoe. 

First we have Brown-Eyed Girl, which is probably my favorite. It's a set a pretty warm neutrals. You've got your browns and golds and even an orange and they're beautiful. You can see how sheer the lighter shades get, but man those top ones are gorgeous. 


Anyone else think some of these look like bruises? Either way they're still lovely. This is Tickled Pink, which still starts off with some pretty warm browns and russet type shades. Then we get some really light pinks and purples. The really light ones being sheer. The pink that's second from the top is actually a bit more pigmented than it shows up on camera. Looks nice and subtle on the lids. The other lighter shades, however, a pretty frosty in my opinion and I'm a little eh on that. 


And the Eyes Have It. There's two blue shades in this palette, one frosty and sheer, the other just not as pigmented as I would have liked. However, the other green and brown shades are gorgeous. This palette is beautiful. I've been trying to incorporate more greens into my clothes and eye makeup because I've been told it looks really nice on me, so this is what I'll be reaching for most . 

As for the Eye Dust samples, I haven't swatched any of them because it's a bit messy in the baggies and I really want to save them up for when I'm going to actually use them on my eyes, but I have tried one which is the Kiwi Rose one. It looks white when the powder is all together, but then it hits the light and it's a yellowy green duo-chrome-y thing. I don't know. It's hard to explain, but it looks awesome. I didn't notice any creasing when I wore it (primer underneath) and it lasted a good bit on my eyes. There is, of course, quite a bit of fallout since it's a powder. 

I'm still trying out the rest and I might make a post of the best ones later on, but there's definitely some colors in there that it will be harder to put to use. 

So far, I'm a fan of Jesse's Girl at least where the eyeshadows are concerned. There's unfortunately not a whole lot to pick from on their website so these might be the only thing I get. Who knows, they might come out with some new styles of the palettes. 

Here's hoping.
