Danessa Myricks Freedom Palette: Pastel Dreams Edition (Swatches on Dark Skin)

 I was one of the people that ordered this palette as soon as it dropped. I want all the colorful palettes Danessa drops. I missed out on the Lightwork 3 and 4 and regret it strongly to this day. I would just assume I had something similar in the collection already..and I was wrong. They are so sparkly and duo-chrome and shifty...so when this palette dropped I added to my card and checked it out. I had a reward on the site so I did get a little money off...yay for customer loyalty rewards.

There are six shades and probably four of them are close enough to other colors I have in my stash. The brown doesn't seem completely unique but I haven't tried it only my lids yet. I could be wrong. The pastel blue green and orchid are close enough to some shades I have from Sugarpill. I think these may be easier to build and more pigmented though. I'm excited for the neutral topper shade. I don't have anything neutral and wanted something to go with bronze/brown looks so I guess that's it! 

The pink duo chrome is very similar to the Serenity shade in the Lightwork 6. It might be slightly darker and this one doesn't shift as green.  But they were close enough that it is a bit disappointing to me. If you don't have that one,  it will be new to you. And lastly the green sparkly shade. Very unique...and I still can't really decide what color it is. It will be fun matching it with looks because it's so unique. 

Changes the look for the whole palette! 

I love that it can pop into the larger palette and you can switch/rearrange shades as you want. They are all magnetic so very easy to pop right out and travel with them. 

The special shades are pretty translucent. They are more like toppers. And probably a bit less intimidating for those that don't wear color on the lids much. I live for a bold, colorful shadow look so that's not me! 

First shade is Moondust- it's very translucent. I can't say I'm very impressed with it, I need to play with it more. Seems a bit boring but maybe it can add something special to a bronze/brown look. I'll update once I try it. 

Pink Quartz- I wish she did a more purple shifty shade. It's too similar to the pink Serenity in the Lightwork 6 IMO. 

Galaxy Dream- This one is very unique. At least to my small collection.I'm excited to play with it and see what it matches with best. It looks turquoise full on and has some orange shift to it. 

Aqua Dream- What a pretty color! I can't wait to put it all over my lids. It has really great pigmentation and comes out as a true pastel. 

Pink Mirage- It is a pretty orchid shade. I did wear it the other day...probably paired it with all the wrong colors but it wasn't as bright as I thought it would be. It seemed more muted? I think I might prefer the shade from Sugarpill but I do need to test it more. 

Gilded Dream- This shade reminds me of my beloved Salted Caramel from years back in the OG Too Faced palette. It might be more terracotta though. I'm most curious on what this will look like on but haven't quite tried it yet. 

And there we have it! I don't think it's going to be my favorite palette of the ones I have from Danessa...but I like it and I am  excited to experiment with it.
