Bronze Goddess Desert Heat Palette

This is such a great palette for the summer, and even fall and spring. As expected by the name "desert heat", this palette obviously leans towards warmer tones and bronzes, but realistically that is what most of us wear on a day to day basis anyway. The pigmentation is great and the blendablity is amazing. The palette is such great quality, you would really have to try hard to not end up with a good look. The colors are straight-forward, so you don't have to think too hard of which combinations to put together. It all works harmoniously and is versitle for day and night.

If you're a beginner, or not really into make-up, this is a great palette to have. I think is is also great for travel as you can create a lot of different looks (neutral and with pops of color, daytime and smoky), with a very small and compact palette. I also use that center shade as a blush, so it works out as a two in one. The only thing I will say is that sometimes the lighter browns in the palette lean a little peachy, but it's definitely not a problem especially once you know what you are getting into. The colors still work and blend with the rest of the palette.

One other note is that the packaging is stunning and very luxe. The Bronze Goddess Collection is throughout the Estee Lauder line including a very well known and loved bronzer and illuminator. I believe the eyeshadow palette they offer under the line changes every year. Although this Desert Heat palette was limited addition, it is still available for now (shopping links here and below). This years Bronze Goddess Palette, Goddess Azur, also looks beautiful and with such unique colors to choose from. I definitely plan on getting my hands on it and also included a link for it below so you guys can check it out too. I also included other warm tone palettes that will give you similar looks, should this Desert Heat palette become unavailable.
