My experience with The ADS Balm Volume 2 Nude Palette:I have not used the original theBalm Nude Dude Palette so I am going to share my thoughts on the The ADS Balm Volume 2 Nude Palette as an individual palette altogether. The shade variety is okay, some shades are almost similar. I love the vintage packaging. The brush is not that great in quality but at least they have not provided a plain sponge applicator. Some of the shades are pigmented and gives incredible intensity in just one stroke. But all the matte shades are very chalky and difficult to work with. The shades have high fall off issue. The shades that I love to work with are Faithful, Fit & Firm. So I would recommend using an eye primer. The shade spread can work great on every skin tone and age. Overall. this palette is not a great dupe unlike The ADS Balm Nude Tude Palette which was a great dupe of theBalm Nude Tude Palette.
Rating:3.5/5
The ADS Balm Volume 2 Nude Palette is an ordinary palette, just what you can expect for such a low price. Although the packaging is similar to that of theBalm Nude Dude Palette, the quality lacks far behind, and actually 4-5 out of the 12 shades are nice.
