Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the Natasha Denona Mini Zendo Eyeshadow Palette.
I received this palette for Christmas and it was on my wishlist so I was overexcited when my family gave it to me.
If you know me, even a little bit, you know I love the tones of this palette, they are my everyday shades so, despite the fact I didn’t have the best opinion of Natasha Denona eyeshadows, I wanted to try it.
You can buy it from Sephora for 25$.
Colour
This palette has 5 shades. For some reason, I was convinced the middle shade was going to be more sage-green but actually, it’s a very cool toned brown.
- Stark (shimmering, dark, cool burgundy)
- Bare (matte pastel pink)
- Stripped (shimmering warm silver)
- Dazz (shimmering coral with light bronze shift)
- Uncovered (matte dusty coral)
PACKAGING
The packaging is nice and practical. It’s not too fancy but it has a magnetic closure and it’s very sturdy.
It’s smaller than you’d think but I like how compact it is, I never finish eyeshadows so I don’t mind that the shades are tiny.
PIGMENTATION & FORMULA
The formula is quite soft and smooth especially when you swatch it, it has medium pigmentation. You have to build up the colour a little but I love that in an eyeshadow.
They aren’t patchy and the colour selection is beautiful and very classy. I absolutely LOVE how the shades blend together, you can see the separation between each shade but the effect still looks seemless.
Dazz had a bit of a harder formula and I had to scrub the first layer to make it more pigmented.
The formula of the glitter is a bit hard but that prevents most of the fallout which is amazing for glitter.
APPLICATION
All the shades blend easily with brushes but I prefer to use my finger for the glitter.
SWATCH
LASTING POWER
With a primer, they last about 10 hours before creasing.
RATINGS:
- Colour: 9/10
- Longevity: 10/10
- Application: 9/10
- Formula: 8/10
- Pigmentation: 8/10
- Packaging: 8/10
GRADE: A–
This palette is beautiful. I know it’s only five shades but they are the kinds of shade I’ll use over and over again. You know I love glitters so I love to have the option in such a compact palette. The packaging is pretty, it blends like a dream, barely any fallout. I’m incredibly impressed by the lasting power too. Now I know it’s an expensive palette for what it is, do you need it? Of course, no. But if you are like me and like to treat yourself you won’t be disappointed.

I am a fan of these colors. They seem perfect for winter. I am glad they are a good quality!
They really are!
Oh! I’m loving those colors and how pigmented they look! I also like that the palette is on the smaller size so you don’t have soo many unused eyeshadows!
Agree! I’m loving smaller palettes for the same reason
I LOVE this palette, so I’m glad you rated it so high. That middle one surprised me too, it does look sage green.
It does doesn’t it? I was so surprised 😂
I love the shades of this palette! I think it’s so great that it has glitters too! We can’t have enough glitters can we? lol And it looks beautiful on you!
Ahhahaha never enough 😂
This is a gorgeous pallet! I’m not sure I would purchase it for that price but definitely might consider it 🙂
It’s very nice
These colors are absolutely beautiful, and it’s great to hear the quality is good too. I think the mini palettes are a great way to sample her eyeshadow formula, and at an affordable price!
I definitely feel more comfortable with smaller palettes. They are less overwhelming
I hear you completely. That’s why I love Huda’s Obsessions Palettes more than her bigger ones too.
Agree! I dislike huda’s big palettes with passion
