Hi guys!
Today I am sharing with you a palette by Morphe Brushes that was released for Pride 2019 in collaboration with the Trevor Project. As soon as I saw this palette, I not only knew I needed it in my life, but I had to support the amazing cause behind it. The Trevor Project is an American organisation that supports LGTBQ+ youth, more specifically, helping people in crisis and suicide intervention. I think this cause is amazing, and seeing how Morphe have worked with them to create this palette and donate 100% of the proceeds sold from these items, I knew I had to have it in my life!

This palette has 25 shades; a mix of pressed pigment shadows and shimmer shades. I dont know if Morphe have changed up their matte shadow formula, but I found these so much easier to apply than some of the mattes I have used before from them. As always, the shimmer shades are KILLER and with a spritzed brush they glide on like a dream. I found that the lighter shades took a few applications to get some really good pigment and sparkle, but that was on the arm, and I think on the eye it wouldn’t take as much. The shade Liberation is a duochrome shade and shows off the multi coloured glitter when applied amazing!
The list of shades in this palette each have a special meaning, and represent someone or something important to the LGTBQ+ community! You can get yourself this palette for $30AU from the Morphe AU site
