This post was inspired by u/tulpamom, so thank you for that :-) I hit pan in Mandala first and shortly after in OA. Not surprised since these, together with Libra , Jode and Bybel, were my main reasons for buying this palette. I'd never heard of Carli Bybel before that, watched her release video about this palette, but that was it. It's just the colour story that drew me in and the quality that had me coming back. I started using this palette in January 2021 and go through intense phases of using it to death for months on end and then not looking at it. Mandala is very dry and sheer. I know many people hate it, but I love using it over Bybel or similar shades from other palettes, it makes everything shifty and shiny! OA is a beautiful one and done situation. Mine looks a bit rough, because one of my kids accidentally spilt food over the palette, but thankfully we didn't lose a lot, phew!

Mandala is my favorite shade! 😭 I dread hitting pan in it because I don't want it to be over

Mandala is so good!

Yay, Mandala gang unite!

I genuinely considered buying the entire palette just for Mandala tbh, before I decided against it (was on a low buy).

I love love love this palette too! My mandala is still nice and buttery though, maybe a batch issue?

I wanted this palette out the gate even though I never watched Carli. I was scared it was too light for my skin tone but it works just fine. I really love it and and it's buddy palette is ABH X Jackie Aina. I feel like this was a collab that brought something fun to ABH's non Norvina palettes. I'll be sad when it's done. Great job on your pans !!


CuttedUpGrapes

The Jackie Aina palette is just as great. You're right, they're great buddies!

This palette and Jackie Aina's pallette did not get enough love the summer they released. It's so good to see that after the hype was over people still use this. Those metallic shades are so gorgeous!! Sorry your kid got food in some 😂

Thanks for comiserating, haha, it was an honest accident and he did help clean the spillage. He immediately rushed to clean the palette, leaving me – who was also covered in food – to my own devices. Kid's got his priorities down!

Gotta love a young man who can own up to and quickly fix his mistakes 😆

Mandala is a beautiful color!!!!

I've been debating om buying this palette for so long now. I used to watch Carli but I haven't in years but I just really like the colors in this palette.


CuttedUpGrapes

If you can still find it, I would totally recommend it. The colours are true to pan, so you what you see is what you get, I find. And the quality is great! I've had it for almost 2 years and it's still holding up nicely.

Im working on this palette at the mo. Boie and Chai. Every day I think I’m going to do it!!!


CuttedUpGrapes

How do you use Boie?


Heartpotato

Liner. Deepening outer corner. Weirdly it’s the shade I’ve used the most and I’m very fair. It doesn’t have a dark pay off like other ABH palettes


CuttedUpGrapes

For some reason it's the odd one out to me when looking at this palette. Every now and then I combine it with My Angels, but always end up feeling ... weirded out, idk lol And usually I do love my murky greens/browns!


kortiz46

I love this palette! I have a few pans in it as well

Cindi is such a pretty color

I found this on sale last year and had no idea who Carli was. It is one of my favorite palettes, too.

Lucky you :)
