Review: theBalm - Meet Matt(e)

I would like you to Meet Matt(e), a well respected palette from the company theBalm.

I had received it from my husband for Mother's day, and I was super excited upon getting it.  I have been wanting Meet Matt(e) for awhile now, so this was an awesome gift for me.  

theBalm Meet Matt(e) ($34) contains nine eyeshadows and named after their favorite Matts. 

When I was looking at the names the first one to catch my attention was obviously MATT FREAKIN' SMITH!  Gotta love Doctor Who!

It includes a small dual-ended bristle brush, which is way better than those sponge tip brushes you end up finding in palettes.  The palette is small and sqaure-ish, which is made out of heavy-duty cardboard.  It of course comes with the typical cardstock matching cover that theBalm usually has upon their products.  When you open it up there is a mirror underneath the lid.

Swatches done over NYX eyeshadow base white.  Sadly Matt Smith did not show up on my swatches.  BOO!  I have used it several times for neutral looks.  So it is still a very nice color just didn't want to be nice with me at all.
Though it is a matte palette there are two in it that have a slight-sheen in it.  It is still a wonderful palette to take on the go! 

• Matt Smith is a warmed up light beige that is matte
• Matt Gallagher a medium dark brown with a matte finish
• Matt Ramirez a dark brown with warm red undertones and a hint of gray-ish matte finish
• Matt McDonald a slate blue gray that has a slight pearl silver sheen to it
• Matt Horowitz has a semi-matte finish that is purpled blue
• Matt Chung is a very pale white pink matte finish
• Matt Batali is a deep burgundy eggplant with brown and purple tones within it matte finish
• Matt Schilling is a wonderful matte teal but seems a bit blue
• Matt Patel is a gray sort of mauve that has a hint of brown matte finish

The texture of these shadows are soft, smooth and buttery.  There are issues with two of them I had that seemed a bit chalky or patchy, but other than that I love this palette. 
I even brought this along with me on the "Liberius" film shoot and it looked wonderful on those I used it upon.
