REVIEW: Nabila No Makeup Palette

Hella fellas! Hope y'all are doing good.
So first off, I'd like to tell you a back story. People who know me in person know how OBSESSED I am with makeup and how big of a makeup junkie I am. I buy wayyyy lot of makeup than normal people do (maybe, wear a lot of makeup than normal people do, too. But that anecdote later) . I frequently am on a hunt for products that suit me. In this hunt, I've found tonnes of hits and misses, wasted a lot of money on things I never even needed, discovered some holy grails and some ride-or-die makeup products.
I've been using Nabila's No Makeup Palette for over a year now. To the extent that now I plan on getting my second Palette. I got to know about this Palette through a morning show where Nabila, a makeup genius and the creator of this Palette was endorsing this baby. I tried finding reviews on the internet before getting my hands on this palette, but sadly found one or two which were way too brief and unhelpful for my liking. I thought of taking the risk and finally bought the palette last year. I plan on writing a comprehensive review on this palette to let you all know if it is worthy of getting a spot in your makeup stash or not. Do I approve of this product? Read along to find out.

Packaging:
Alright, first things first. Let's talk about the packaging. This palette is a nice square shaped compact-looking-like palette. It is a warm, matte gray colour and feels sorta sturdy too. The material is kind of a hybrid between rubber and plastic, which feels more like a thick, compressed rubber. On it, there are Nabila's initials imprinted in white colour which looks simple. Nothing too overpowering in that respect. Once you open the lid you see a nice mirror stuck inside which comes in quite handy, especially when you're on the go. The four cream products in the palette are protected from drying out and bacteria by a plastic covering, when you get it. The plastic also is printed showing you what is what. You need to peel it off to reveal the actual product. But hang on. Wait for the actual surprise. When you lift the cream palette, there's a compact powder that awaits for you. Not a new concept at all. I already have a lot of makeup with this "technology" but I wonder why this fascinated me so much? But, I guess makeup in general, fascinates me so whatever. This comes with a powder pouf kinda thing which is crappy but I guess a lot of you would probably appreciate that.

Pigmentation and Texture:
FYI: I have a medium to dark complexion with golden/deep yellow undertones. I am NC-42 in MAC, for reference. A lot of you might call mine an Indian complexion. For ages I thought I had olive skin, but apparently it isn't. It was when I went to the counter to test this stuff that I got to know that I have a honey skin tone. Therefore, the palette tailor-made for me was N-GAGE.
This palette consists of a concealer, a base, a blusher, a lipstick and a powder, as mentioned at the back of the palette.
Concealer/Corrector:
You guys, this stuff is my absolute favourite from the palette. It is basically a concealer and a colour-corrector, all in one. Now because I have it in N-gage, the colour corrector tends to be more of a deeper orange than my mom's palette (she has it in N-LIGHT which is meant for creamy skin tones). This orange is the PERFECT orange for my panda eyes. Now because I lean more towards the darker side, the hyperpigmentation on my face (under my eyes, around my mouth and tan lines down my cheekbones) is dark too. So I always needed something that would hide those without being too heavy or too patchy or without the hassle of adding another something to my makeup routine- a colour-corrector. This gets the job done beautifully. But because this stuff is so highly pigmented and so high coverage, it only has to be used a little. A thin layer tends to do a good job. It is thick, but not too thick to look cakey or gunky on your face. After some blending, it looks natural. The texture is soft and creamy and is best applied with your fingers, as suggested by Nabila. But I like to live the fancy life so I tend to use the BeautyBlender. It blends super nice with that too. But I would definitely suggest you to warm it between your fingers and then dab on because then, it blends like a dream. This has to be my favourite from the entire palette.
Foundation/Blender:
An okay-ish foundation. Not something that makes me say WOWWW. The texture is creamy and emollient and applies nicely onto the skin. A little goes a long way, especially if you use it to school, work or college. But if you wanna rock it in a party or a wedding, as a guest, you can absolutely do it. It gives a semi-dewy finish and is pretty buildable. It is medium to super full coverage so I'd suggest you to use it sparingly. Also, I did observe that it does not give flash-back in pictures which makes it photography-friendly too. However, the thing that bugs me the most is the quantity. Foundation is my most used product. I run out of them a lot quicker than any other thing. I think everybody does. I have already hit pan in the foundation compartment which makes me sad. Now I would have to buy another palette, just for the foundation and that would mean the contents of my older palette get wasted.
Blusher
Hmmm. Something that I have a love-hate relationship with. It is a nice deep, mauvy pink with cool undertones. I think this compliments my golden skin beautifully. I have no issues with the colour of this stuff. Definitely, a good addition to my blush collection because I don't know if I had this kind of a shade before. The problem is with the formulation. It's supposed to be a cream blush but it lacks in the creaminess. It is stiff and weird and have to rub your finger many times to really warm up the product to melt it. It is not too pigmented but I like that about it because then it means we have more control over the intensity of the colour. Nobody wants to look like Aunt Sally, eh?
It is buildable and looks pretty on the skin, even without the base underneath.
Lip-stick/stain
See, I have no issues with the colours and shades of these things. The concept behind this palette is to provide you with complementary colours for your skin tone. I think they are spot on. And once you have this on, you just look fresh and have a I-wokeup-like-this kinda face. Which I appreciate with all my heart. The issue is with the formulation. The lipstick is a perfect shade for :'a my lips but better' kind of a day. It's a deep burgundy-ish mauvy brown. Love the shade. The problem is that it smells really bad. It almost has that typical smell lipsticks have when they lose their shelf life. The nail to the coffin is the that I started to experience this smell exactly a month after I started using it. I has a satin finish on the lips but leans more to the glossier side. I often tend to blot my lips with a tissue paper, and then all is well. There is also another issue for which turns me off completely. Read on to find out.
Compact Powder:
Hands down, one of the best powders I have ever used. A blot of this really ties the look of your face, together. It is one of the butteriest and the most finely milled powder I have ever used. It mattifies your face, gives you an ample amount of coverage and leaves your skin looking poreless and flawless. Love this stuff! However I am heartbroken cause I dropped the palette on the floor once and this powder being so soft, got smashed. I guess, I can fix it with the rubbing alcohol hack so no worries.

Longevity:
The concealer tends to crease under my eyes even though I set it with the powder after 3-4 hours. The rest of the face looks okay even after 5-6 hours. However your oil glands do show their activity and there are chances you may want to blot again during the day with the compact. The compact is not translucent, so remember that a lot of it may give you a cakey appearance. Touch ups can obviously be  done. The blush doesn't wear off completely so that's a plus. And the whole and sole reason, I hate the lipstick is that it doesn't stay on the lips for even one straight hour, without you even eating or drinking anything. It just DOESN'T stay!

Availability:
This palette retails for PKR 6999 at any outlet of Scentsation. I do think that it is a little bit on the pricier side but that should mean everything SHOULD be spot on, which it isn't. There is room for improvement. It is available in six shades.
N-VITE for fair skin
N-GELIC for ivory skin
N-LIGHT for creamy skin
N-GAGE for honey skin
N-CHANT for olive skin
N-TICE for almond skin
Good luck in getting your match. If you do, you're set for your life.
It is also available via a courier service called TCS. But I'll highly suggest you to go in store and get it tested on your skin. Colours may vary in images. However, if you're rebuying it, it isn't a bad option at all.
Would I recommend it?
Absolutely! I can't wait to get my hands on my second palette. If you're a deeper skin tone, you know the struggles of finding your perfect match. I literally endorse this product anywhere I go. I get asked by people of how flawless and poreless my skin looks. The answer is always this perfecting palette. I'd give it a 4.5/5 because getting my perfect base is everything for me.
