As the month of June comes to an end in America, we reflect on yet another month of Pride. As an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, it would not be appropriate to end this month with any other review then the GlamLite Cake Palette. This is by far my favorite rainbow palette and was an excellent addition to my collection earlier this year.
This is my first GlamLite product and I was not disappointed! From the first swatches with this eyeshadow palette, it was evident that the formula was top quality. Pigmented and comfortable to wear, the formula glides on the lid with any tool you would use to apply eyeshadow (and I’ve tried them all, brush, finger and sponge tip applicator).
One of the most intimidating aspects of rainbow or colorful palettes is how to apply the colors in a way that they blend together and not come across muddled, or patchy. You need not worry with this palette. The shades blend smoothly into one another and it’s a great deal of fun to try different color combinations that typically don’t work.
It is worth noting that the colors in this palette pack a punch and therefore you may want to start with a light hand. This should not deter you from trying this formula, though. The other con to this palette (which it might not be a con for you) is that it is rather large and bulky, not ideal for travel and a bit difficult to store. It does come in an adorable box (pictured below) which does make it a bit easier to store but again, with its size, it will take up a lot of room.
All in all, this is by far one of my favorites in both formula and design/color story. If this looks like something you would be interested in, you can find this palette and others on the GlamLite website.
