Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the Natasha Denona Mini Biba Palette.
I got this palette in the Sephora Advent Calendar and sadly is not available on its own. You can get the big version though but it’s quite expensive. To be honest, I don’t like the big version because while is a beautiful palette it feels a bit repetitive to me.
The shades in this are classic and I have them in other palettes but I love that it’s so tiny that I can keep it in my makeup bag all the time and have good base colours that I can pair with literally anything else.
To be honest it looks amazing on its own too and side note, I like Natasha Denona small palettes better than the big ones.
The first shade and third one in this are in the big palette but the middle one isn’t, still, there are other shades in that palette that are quite similar.
You can buy the big palette here for 129$.
Colour
This palette has 3 shades.
- Monroe (metallic pink champagne)
- Elle (matte medium brown)
- Coco (matte dark burgundy)
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 and zero fall out.
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 seamless.
All the shades are super buttery and creamy, it’s such a nice basic palette to have around.
APPLICATION
All the shades blend easily with brushes even the shimmery one. I normally use my fingers with them but this works beautifully with a brush.
SWATCH
LASTING POWER
With a primer, they last about 10 hours before creasing.
RATINGS:
- Colour: 9/10
- Longevity: 10/10
- Application: 10/10
- Formula: 10/10
- Pigmentation: 10/10
- Packaging: 8/10
GRADE: A+
This palette is beautiful. I know it’s only three shades but they are the kinds of shade I’ll use over and over again. And I love having such a high-quality basic palette that I can combine with anything. The packaging is pretty, it blends like a dream, with barely any fallout. I’m incredibly impressed by the lasting power too.

I love these shades… Gotta try soon! Thanks for the review!
Thank you x
Wow the trio is so cute, it’s a shame this is only available in the calendar! I just used her Camel Palette this week, and boy do I adore the shades, but I still have difficulty with her matte formula. It just does not want to blend smoothly over my MAC Paint Pots!
I usually set my primer before using any eyeshadow maybe that can help. She’s coming out with the micro Glam so this mini Biba will be next? I hope so because it’s so good!
Love this look, that pallet is gorgeous!
So pretty x
Don’t you hate when you fall in love with a palette and it’s only made for calendar or special package. I love smaller palettes like this, I keep them in my work makeup bag for times that I need to do a quick look!
Apparently she’s starting to release them in stores too. There’s one coming out this week
