Blank Canvas Cosmetics 10 Pan Cream Contour Palette Review

Hello my Beauties.  

There is a time in your life where you need to venture further into the makeup world.  You know the way we all dream of been able to achieve the fabulous contoured and highlighted look that Kim K etc can pull off.  

I know I have been a huge fan of watching my favourite Beauty Gurus on Youtube and have seen them contouring and highlighting with cream products but never ever thought I would go as far as trying it myself.  I began the contouring and highlighting with my Blank Canvas Cosmetics 6 Pan powder Contouring palette lightly and have been enjoying that for the past year.  Of course when you get alot more into contouring thats when you venture towards the deeper darker contouring.  Which is why I took the plunge and bought this 10 Pan Cream Contour Palette and do you know something I am so so glad I did :) 

The Blank Canvas Cosmetics 10 Pan Cream Palette is one of their newest products available and I can tell its going to be a hit just like their 6 Pan Palette.  This palette only costs €14.99 for 10 shades which is pretty good in value :) 

Packaging  

The packaging is the same as the 6 pan palette.  A Simple black plastic palette with Blank Canvas Cosmetics written in white.  The palette itself is very light weight and very slim so its perfect for you kit if you are a makeup artist or perfect for travelling :) 

The pans themselves are actually a decent enough size which surprised me as I thought they were going to be a little smaller.  

The first thing I want to point out before I start is I have tried concealer palettes in my time and I have to admit the ones I have tried have all done something in which I was never impressed about and that is .......when in any heat they would somewhat sweat bringing what ever oils that is in the creams to the top and making them look and feel yuck.  Of course when I use them on my face I would see the oils from the concealers showing on my face after a few hours of wear...... Not impressive at all.  

Whereas this palette hasnt done that yet and believe me my house can be like a sauna most days lately and still these beauties are in tact not greasy residue nothing. 

(Please excuse the wee wet patch near the last two shades my lovely daughter likes to sit with me when I am swatching and decided to take a closer look at the palette with an Ice lolly in her hand of course she was that intrigued she didnt notice she was dripping over it lol) 

This palette can be used for a number of reason 

A) Of Course is Contouring and Highlighting 

B)  For Concealing 

C)  For foundation 

I have tried to use this palette for all three and to be honest would much prefer as a personal preference to use this for only contouring and highlighting.  

But I have used the peach toned shades under my eyes and its surely made a difference as I have had to use less of my own concealer to cover up my very dark circles.  

There is a nice mixture of peach toned, yellow toned and pink toned shades in this palette.  Which makes this palette suitable for every skin tone :)  Great news for all you makeup artists out there ;) 

The first five swatches are the top row and the last 5 swatches are the bottom row :)  

The pigmentation from this palette is amazing.  A little goes a long long way.  They feel incredibly creamy and soft.  I was quite nervous at first about using this palette as I thought if the cream did not blend well I would be left with dirty looking marks all over my face haha as I am sure alot of you out there would fear too but these creams are so easy to blend it was like a dream come true.  Here is a picture of me taking a selfie (which I totally forgot to post on instagram) of my highlighting and contouring for the first time.  Apologies in advance of the picture not been entirely clear but it was from my phone :)  

That hair style is just gorgeous isnt it lol 

I was actually amazed by this palette from the first day I used it I felt very professional doing my spot of contouring and highlighting :) :)  I am not exactly professional at it yet but because the creams glide on so easily it makes contouring and highlighting alot easier to get the hang of :) after a few practice runs we will all be able to master the Kim K contouring to a T.  

I am sure alot of you are wondering what brushes to use to to this and I highly recommend the 

F30 Sculpt Brush for contouring under my cheekbones and around my forehead this brush is amazing and allows you to apply the cream contour evenly without effort 

I also use the F02 Double Ended Painter Style Foundation and concealer brush to apply highlight to the areas I want highlighted for example down the bridge of my nose, under eye area, chin, mid forehead etc I use the smaller end of the brush to apply contour down the sides of my nose :)  For blending I use the Blank Canvas Blending Sponge which is amazing for a flawless finish :) 

I found the lasting power of this palette amazing.  It lasts all day long without any fading.  As I suffer with an oily T-zone I did feel I had to set this a little on the T-zone area to keep it from been shiny.  

Here is another picture of my daytime contouring using the last shade on the 2nd row and the 3rd shade on the 1st row as a highlight 

I originally bought this palette for my kit but I am keeping it for myself :)  I will go back and order another for my kit :)   

I highly recommend this palette to anyone who is looking to venture into the contouring world you are guaranteed to find a shade suitable for you for both day and night.  You also have to option to mix shades to suit our skin tone as there is 10 options :)  for the price its worth it and you are most definitely getting value for your money :) 

So what do you think?  Would you give it a go?
Let me know if you do and what you think of it? 
 If you are thinking of purchasing from Blank Canvas Enter "NINA" at the end for a little discount for all my lovely readers
Until next time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sleek Vintage Romance Eyeshadow Palette

Hello my beauties How are you all doing today :)  

I have to admit I was sorry to see Summer fly by and feeling the cold weather coming in.  The fact we had such an amazing Summer left it even harder for us to say goodbye but to be honest I loved the fact that Autumn was coming in because one of my favourite things about Autumn is the change up of makeup looks.  I love the Autumn shades The Neutrals, Oranges, Reds etc........ 

This is why the moment Sleek released their new palette & Blush I didnt waste any time in going online to Cloud10 Beauty and buying it.  You can also purchase this many other sites such as Sleek Makeup website where at the moment they are doing a 10% off 11.59pm tonight and also Beauty Emporium 

I knew just by seeing the shades in the palette on the website I would love it.  

As you all know at this stage I am a huge fan of Sleeks Eyeshadow Palette.  Golly I cant even tell you how many I have at the moment but I know its more than 5 or 6 or even 7 hahahaha 

If you missed any of my reviews about the palettes I own already click here to see the reviews I have done so far.  

The Packaging is the same as usually.  The perfect black palette with a perfect sized mirror and a double ended sponge applicator along with it.  The palette contains 12 eyeshadows which are 1.1g each all for €9.99 or £7.99 Absolutely amazing price for what you are getting :) 

Sleek Cosmetics has this palette well thought out honestly from the Name of the palette to the names of each shade to the shades it contains all relate to Romance :) ;) 
The shades as you can see are names after some of the worlds romantic places plus the shade created the most romantic looks you can to make your eyes look fantastic and irresistible.  
Oh ladies before I go on I am totally and madly in love with this palette every last shade is amazing Talking about shade let me show you a close up of these beauties :) 

Starting from the top left :) 

Pretty in Paris:   A soft buttery pigmented metallic silver.  The pigmentation of this shade is amazing.  A perfect inner corner highlight or lid colour.  This may give a little fallout but nothing too cray cray 

Meet in Madrid:   This is another amazingly pigmented metallic shade this time a light golden shade.  A perfect highlight or lid shade or a simple pop of colour shade.  

Court in Cannes:   Another Metallic shade this time in bronze I love this shade as I use it alot in the day time for a day time smokey eye.  It makes my hazel eyes pop.  Another very pigmented shade I love it 

Lust in L.A:   Another Bronze shade with a tint of green through it a stunning pigmented shade with a metallic finish 

Romance in Rome:   A deep Navy shade with blue shimmers and when worn gives the illusion of purple.  This I have to say was less pigmented than I thought especially with it been a darker shade I have tried this shade over a black base and it looks AMAZING for night time looks :) :) 

Propose in Prague:  The one and only matte shade of the palette a perfect blending shade.  This is a beautiful medium berry brown perfect pigment and very pigmented 

2nd row left to right :

A Vow in Venice:   I love this shade Its a beautiful cranberry shade with a slight metallic finish very pigment.  I did experience a little fall out with this shade but nothing too dramatic 

Marry in Monte Carlo:   oh I love love love this shade with its beautiful metallic finish this deeper cranberry shade has a purply hue to it also hugely pigmented and a fun colour to play with 

Honeymoon in Hollywood:   A Stunning berry shade that has a satin finish this shade contains silver particles than can be blended away.  I did find fall out with this shade again nothing too dramatic :) 

Bliss in Barcelona:   Love is in the air in ninas house with this shade boy oh boy this shade is AMAZING!!!!! an absolute Stunning shade of purple with a metallic finish my favourite out of the lot.  Very pigment very soft and creamy and a joy to work with :) 

Forever in Florence - A Deep Blackcurrant purple shade with silver particles this shade is BEAUTIFUL again the silver particle can be blended away and you get an almost matte finish to it.  Very pigment with a little fallout.  

Love in London - Of course a black as sleek never lets us down when it comes to adding black to their palettes.  This black is not matte.  It has silver particles in it but when blended is in between a satin and matte finish.  Hugely pigmented I love it :) 

The swatches above is taken in normal light with no primer underneath below the swatches are taken in direct sunlight again with no primer 

Overall this is one amazing palette to have in your collection not only can you create the most amazing day and night looks from this but you are getting 12 amazingly pigmented shades for Autumn and Winter.  For the price this is more than your moneys worth :) :) I love it :) :)

Inglot 10 Pan Freedom Palette & Swatches

Hello my beautiful Readers How are you all today :) :) 

The weather here has taken a dramatic change once again pouring no bucketing rain all you have to do is look outside and you would get soaked !! ah well it could be worse (some how) 

Today I am going to show you another Freedom Palette I built up from Inglot.  I just cant resist this brand honestly from the time I got my First 5 pan freedom palette I have made a wishlist of eyeshadows that could go on forever.  These shadows are absolutely amazing and I do plan to get them all Really I do !!! :) :) Eventually of course :) 

Today I have ten more shades to share with you all and hopefully I will help you add more to your wishlist hahaha 

These shades I chose carefully.  I wanted to go with shades that are suitable for my shading of eyes and also can be wearable for both day and night.  I also wanted to go with shades that would compliment each other.  

First let me begin by talking about these wonderful palettes.  They are the most secure sturdy palettes I own.  I feel so safe in bringing these palette in my bag for travelling and trust that my eyeshadows are going to be intact when I open them.  The lid is held my 4 magnets that are on each corner of the palette and let me tell you it needs a good tug before it comes off.  The palette is available to buy empty and then you can choose whatever shadows you want to place in it.  The eyeshadows come individually wrapped.  

The 5 Pan palette with 5 Shadows costs:  €38

The 10 Pan Palette with 10 Shadows costs:  €68 

 What I love most of all is the size of these shadows They are amazingly big for the price and half the price of a Mac eyeshadow which in my eyes are the perfect if not better dupe of Mac.  

One piece of advice before you even enter the Inglot store is to google as many shades of eyeshadows as you can to have an idea what you would like because let me tell you, you are going to be overwhelmed with the amount of shades you can choose from the store.  

The one thing I will have to say is a pity that these amazing shades are not named and only numbered so if you have a list make sure you have the number correct.  

So without further ado let me show you the shades I chose: 

AMC Shine 30:  This shade is absolutely beautiful and the perfect highlight shade.  Its also perfect for a lid shade too.  This beautiful shimmery goldy champagne shade will certain go a long way if you are choosing a more neutral palette I love this shade :) :) 

AMC Shine 11:  Another amazing shade and perfect for a neutral palette.  This shade is also perfect for Autumn looks.  A Beautiful Shiny shimmery gold simple but fantastic as a lid or highlight shade.  I have also used this as a highlight on my face in the summer :) :) Love it.  

Matte 341:  This shade a a perfect blending shade it can also be used as a transition shade or even all over the lid.  Because its matte you can use it for everything really even a subtle highlight shade.  Its a beautiful pinky peach shade light but very pigmented :) 

Pearl 446:  Well it wouldnt be a palette of mine if there wasnt a shade of purple in it now would it.  Purple been my utmost favourite colour and a perfect shade to make my hazel eyes pop.  I just could resist this shade.  A stunning Plum shade with a pearl finish a perfect lid colour for a dark purple smokey eye I have worn this numerous times out in the town and it really makes a statement.  Beautiful just beautiful !!!

Matte 321:  Now years ago i would have ran away from any blue shade.  I always believed because I have hazel eyes that blues would clash with my eyes and they have in the past but only because I never used them properly.  This is a stunning deep matte navy shade that worked well as a crease shade and for using on the outter V this is also perfect to use as a liner :) I have learned that some blues really can suit me once I get the hang of using them in the right places :) 

Next row is also amazingly stunning Starting with 

Matte 356:  This is another beautifully pigmented Pink shade.  A perfect shade for blending, highlight and lid.  I cant believe the pigmentation from this colour a little goes a long way and its extremely easy to blend :) 

Pearl 452:  From the moment I set my eyes on this shade I had to have it.  Its a stunning burgundy shade with a pearl finish and its extremely pigmented.  Its feels very smooth and very easy to apply.  A little goes a long long way with this shade and its a perfect Autumn colour.  What I love more about this shade is that it really brings out the green in my hazel eyes I love it !!!

Pearl 421:  Another of my favourites I have to say.  This is a stunning coppery brown with a pearl finish again hugely pigmented and very easy to work with.  I found no fall out using this shade and it applies like a dream.  Love it !!!

Matte 335:  Another shade for the Autumn time :)  This shade again I would not normally go for as its a type of shade some people find hard to work with.  A beautiful rusty matte orange and boy oh boy its stunning when applied.  So far I have used this shade as a transition colour and I love it.  Very pigmented and very easy to blend Gorgeous shade 

Matte 391:  A matte black plain and simple :)  The shade is far from plain let me tell you.  This is not the blackest of black for instance if you are one who likes black as soot black this is not the one to get as its verying towards charcoal black but its the perfect black for daytime smokey eyes and every night time I also love to set my liner with this shadow I love it and the fact that its matte and black makes no difference to its performance as its so easy to work with :) :) 

To buy these eyeshadows separately they are only €6 each for approximately 2.7g of product which is absolutely amazing for the quality that they are.  Even without a primer they last all day long but with a primer the intensity and lasting powder is out of this world.  

Overall as you can tell I love these eyeshadows and and the palettes.  They are ideal for everyone even makeup artists plus they have the quality of high end brands but not the prices of high end.  

I am determined to get whats on my wishlist which so far is over 30 more shadows hehehe :) 

Have you tried Inglots Eyeshadows yet ?

Until Next Time 

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

MUA Smokin Palette

Hellooo My Beauties How are you all today :) 

I am super dee Dooper Now that I have another product rave for you :)  Ok Ok I may be spoiling the review already by telling you this but I am too excited :) :) 

MUA is one of my most favourite affordable brands and as you know I have quite a few products reviewed from this brand but the moment something new comes in I just have to try it out.  Well MUA announce a little under 2 weeks ago that they just released 2 brand new palettes one was this one which is the Smokin Palette and the 2nd is the The Matte Ever After Palette which I too bought and will review soon :) :) 

They also released a few more items which of course I just had to try out :) 

Today I am sharing with you the Smokin Palette as this is the first one I had to try out first the Jewel toned shades were just calling out to me to try :) 

Ok The packaging is basically the same as all the rest of the MUA palette black plastic with clear lid to see the shades :) :) 

Inside you are getting 10 eyeshadows and 1 eye pencil all for as little as £6/€7.11.  What I Love about this palette is each shade has a name  

You can purchase this straight from the MUA Store 

As I mentioned above there are the total of 10 eyeshadows and I love how big they are in this palette for the price you are getting 10 generous sized eyeshadow which are going to last a long time.  Starting with the top left size you are getting :

• Glory:  Which is a perfect cream nude shade and the best thing about it is that its matte.  This is perfect for blending out harsh lines, as a base and as a matte highlight This shade is super pigmented for a nude shade I love it 
• Bourdoir:  This is another perfect nude shade and again matte.  Its a nice peachy creamy shade and almost none existant on the skin a perfect shade for blending out harsh lines and to use as a sheer highlight 
• Ghost:  oh I am in love with this shade really I am.  The shade is a beautiful jewelled toned taupey shade.  I have already worn this on the lid and it looks amazing and catches the eye easily.  The pigmentation from this shadow is amazing more than amazing its shocking a little goes a long long way :) :) 
• Fantasy:  This is another Matte shade for us all A deep brown.  I do detect a slight mauvey undertone to this shadow which is quite a surprise as it looks like a simple chocolate brown in the pan.  This is super pigmented and very very easy to blend.  A perfect crease and outer corner shade 
• Mythical:  This is described as a Black Charcoal on the site to me its a very very good Jet Black shade and whats great about it is that its matte.  I was especially worried about this one as noramlly matte black from an affordable brand is hard to work with.  This shade take very little effort to work with.  What I love about this is using it with a damp liner brush and using it as a liner WOW the pigmentation is unbelievable and easily mistaken as an actually liner 
• Broken:  Oh here is another favourite of mine I love love love it and its a perfect shade for Autumn.  A Beautiful metallic brown is what you are getting out of this shade, there is also a slight burgundy undertone to it LOVE IT 
• Icon:  Oh another favourite of mine .  A deep metallic purple.  Purple are my favourites what can I say but this shade is out of its world.  Its pigmented easy to blend and amazing :) :) 
• Unleash:  Oh wow if you are a fan of blues this is a shade and a half for you.  This is a stunning metallicy ink blue so bright and fabulous and amazingly pigmented 
• Choas:  Yet another amazingly pigmented and fabulous shade a deep emerald that will be perfect to used on the lid and as a liner.  Love it 
• Wicked:  A Deep metallic Grey again very pigmented very easy to blend and oh so gorgeous for a night out :) 

Unfortunately I didnt get a swatch of the eyeliner itself as I broke the nib of it the day I was taking the pictures but its literally a simple black kohl pencil.  Its very very creamy and perfect for using as a base for any of the shades especially applying either Icon Unleashed or Choas over it wow the shades are amazing :) :) 

And here is the swatches :) both in Sunlight (1st picture" and in normal light  CLICK ON THE PHOTOS FOR A CLOSER LOOK :) :) 

I have no primer or base under these swatches just to show you how amazing pigmented each shade is :) 

Over all I am totally amazed by this palette.  I absolutely love the shades and I think anyone who loves smokey eye looks will love it too.  I am telling you now if you haven't already bought or ordered this I high advise you do because you will love it :)  Another 10/10 mark for MUA :) :)  What more is after I had bought this palette I stumbled apon a blog post by one of my favourite Irish bloggers Cherry Sue comparing This brilliant palette to Urban Decay's Smoked Palette and wow each eye-shadow is the exact dupe of UD's Smoked Palette EXACT Check it out yourself :) Bet I have raised an eyebrow or two now eh ?? lol

Here is a look i created playing with the shadows for just an everyday look in the photo I used the shades :  Glory, bourdoir for blending and highlighting,   I used Ghost all over the lid,  I used Broken on the outer 1/3 of the lid and blended inwards,  I used Fantasy in the crease for definition and used a little of Mythical on the outer V I loved the finish and of course wore this look for 3 days solid :) 

The camera washed out some of the shades but you can get an idea of what it looks like and how pigmented these shadows are.  With Urban Decay primer potion underneath there was no budging these shadows all day not a smudge love it :) 

Well thats it everyone thats my rave over with well on this blog post anyway lol :)  Have you tried this Palette yet? 

Until Next Time 

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Catrice Absolute Nude Eye-shadow Palette Review

Hey Everyone I hope you are all well :) 

Today I am Reviewing the Ever so popular Absolute Nude Eyeshadow Palette by Catrice 

Boy oh Boy have I been waiting a while to try this palette out.  I first heard about this palette been release along with alot more new permanent products in February.  I have gotten most of the new products now and have been using them quite a bit but I Decided this palette is one of the top on the list because I have been asked by a few of you out there have I tried it yet and because of my experience with it :) 

If you are a lover of neutral shades this is the palette for you which i can safely say all of us are neutral lovers :)
The palette contains 6 eyeshadows for only €5.49 which is a bargain in itself if you ask me.  The moment I saw this palette and the shades I instantly thought "Awwwww a mini Naked Palette" but of course I had to test them out to see if they were even close to some shades you get on the naked palette.  To find out if there is dupes you will have to read on but for now lets show you this little beauty.
I like the packaging Its slim, black and has a transparent lid to make the shades visable, it doesnt feel cheap and the lid is very sturdy.

The one thing I did notice about the eyeshadows is there is no matte shade.  They are all shimmery.  To be honest it would have been nice to get at least one matte either with a light or dark shade but hey we cant always get what we want :)

The shades you are getting are
A shimmery champagne:  This eyeshadow is a little on the chalky side and had little chunks of glitter.  At first i thought hmmmmm this is not going to work but to be honest with a tap of the brush its works quite well only thing is you lose more of the eyeshadow than gaining
A Light Mauvey pink:  This shade is alot easier to work with and looks stunning even on its own.  This is not as chalky as the first shade which means you are gaining more than losing :)
A Coppery Brown with mauve and pink specks:  This shade is nicely pigmented and works brilliant its soft and very easy to work with.
A Beautiful bronze with golden undertones:  This shade is actually quite pigmented and looks amazing its also a pleasure to work with as they is little to no fall out with it.
A Medium Brown with silver shimmer:  This is again another pigmented shade a little goes a long way
A Dark brown with gold shimmer: This is another very pigmented shade but also chalky there will be some fall out if not careful 

As i Said earlier when I first seen this palette I thought the colours looks almost familar to some shades of the naked palette so I just had to check it out and below you will see swatches of each shade and next to it the near dupe from the UD Palette now they are not exact but they are not far off it either :) 

All swatches are made with no primer ;) Click on the photo for a closer look 

As you can see the pigmentation is not too far off Urban Decay which says alot for a drugstore brand Well done Catrice :) Ok the lasting powder and the pigmentation is not as good as UD obviously but for people who dont own UD and cant afford the more expensive price tagged palette can easily get away it duping some of its shades through this palette 

Lasting power is pretty darn good too I have to say.  I wore these shadows for over 10 hours and with only a little bit of wearing off they lasted all day long with a good primer :) 

They blend brilliantly and are so easy to apply.  They feel silky when in contact with the eyes which I love.  The only shade I had problems with was the first one as it is very chalky and does need a base either a primer or a cream shadow.  

I have to say I am impressed and this is perfect for times I want to save my UD palette and use this on a ordinary day.  This is a perfect palette for a bride who is doing her own makeup on the day or anyone who loves wearing neutral shades.  

Here is just a quick everyday "Wake me up" look I created with the Catrice Absolute Nude Palette and in the picture I have the eyeshadows on about 5 hours :) 

Please excuse the messy hair lol I had to get ready in a hurry that day :) :) 

So thats my review for today :) 

Have you tried this palette out ?

Until Next time 

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

MUA The Artiste Collection Palette Review

Hey my wonderful readers how are you all doing today?

Well now today I have yet another MUA review this time its on The Artiste Collection

I actually got this recently on yet another one of the Brilliant MUA's offers 

You only had to spend (I think) £10 to get this Palette for free 

So I just had to go for it as I hadnt tried this palette yet and often wondered about it.

To be honest I was a little sceptic about this palette dont get me wrong I love all the MUA eyeshadow Palettes and this palette does look lovely to look at but I dont know I just thought maybe this might be a let down.  As they say you should not judge a book by its cover! Well normally I stick to that but sometimes I can be a little sceptic.  

So when the offer came i jumped to the chance and got it :) It DOES look pretty doesnt it :) 

So the one difference between MUA's Normal eye-shadow palettes and this is that you are getting 

6 Eye-shadows 

2 Blushes 

1 Bronzer

1 highlighter

This palette costs £6 on the MUA Site  This is also available in superdrug stores :) 

Now the packaging is the same as all MUA eyeshadow palettes.  Its very light weight but the lid is very sturdy.  You get a double sponge tipped eye-shadow applicator.  

What I love is the transparent lid allows you to see what palette is what and you dont have to go opening a load of them to get the one you want

To my surprise each shade of eyeshadow is named thats the first but also quite nice to have a name for these little beauties.  

I have to admit im in awwwwww everytime my eye catches this lovely palette :) 

So as I mentioned already your are getting 6 marbled eyeshadows 

Pistachio:  This is such a pretty pretty shimmer light Aqua green shade wow this is stunning you could actually get away with wearing this on it own on the lid with a nice winged liner beautiful and nicely pigmented to ;)

Mocca:  Ok the name still mystifies me to be honest as this is in no way mocca or any sort of brown shade in fact this is a very sheer cream highlight with silver specks of marble.  This shade you do have to coax a little to get some pay off I found it a tad chalky but when applied its an amazing highlight. 

Ice:  This is a stunning Bright blue shade with aqua blue marbling.  When swatched this has a sort of silvery undertone to it.  For a light shade this is very pigmented and a little goes a long way 

Grape:  Now if you know me a while you will know this shade is automatically my favourite out of the lot hehehe PURPLE :)   This is a stunning purple with blue marbling when swatched this is beautiful.  You do actually see the blue marbling in the shade when applied its stunning I love it 

Chocolate:  This is stunning and reminds me so much of "Smog" from the Naked Palette.  If its not an exact match it surely is near it.  This is a stunning metallicy bronze shade with creamy marbling.  The pigmentation is brilliant from this shade 

Cookie:  This shade surprised me a little as it turns out to be a matte shade.  This is another bronze shade with pinkish marbling.  The pigmentation is medium from this but stunning :) 

Even though you are only getting 6 shades these shade will last you for some time.  

Now that I have shown you the top part of the palette which is for the eyes.  Let me show you the bottom part which is for the face :) 

Well now let me tell you these 4 are the ones that's surprised me the most in a good way of course.  

First of lets see the blushes :) I love both of them 

The 1st blush is called "Pink Sparkle" which is a stunning light pinky coral with golden sparkles :) its stunning for any with fair to medium skin tone a little chalky but with a tap of the brush works fabulous 

The 2nd blush is called "Primrose" which is a deeper pink with a satin finish this blush is incredible and gives such a beautiful glowy finish :) This would suit anyone with fair to medium and medium to dark skintones.  I cant imagine a woman of colour getting any pay off from this I'm afraid.  

The bronze is a light to medium brown and perfect for fair skinned people who want to use this as a contour.  I have fair to medium skin tone and i tried to contour with this but actually got no colour pay off but it is good for warming up your complexion   This is a matte powder and a little powdery but blends very well.  

The highlight shade which is called "Shimmer Kiss" is a stunning very light pinky shade.  Even though its shimmery and a little chalky I have to admit it looks amazing it works beautifully as a highlight the cheek bone or anywhere else you want to highlight. 

This is a light swatches of each with no primer :) 

as you can see they are very pretty :) 

Over all this palette is worth the £6.  Not one shade disappointed me at all in this palette which is unusual as there always at least one thing you dont like. 

I would recommend this palette for people who are building up their collection 

For students with a low budget and need all of whats included in the palette

For people who are travelling and dont want to bring their good makeup collection incase they lose it. 

For anyone who has palettes like this or has plenty of makeup ....hmmmmm this might not be super exciting for you.  I am not saying its a bad palette in fact I have already used it 4 times since getting it so for me to go back to something i have tried is definitely worth reviewing :)  

There is more pro's than cons on this palette which is a thumbs up from me :) 

In this photo I am wearing a very rushed in a hurry light smokey eye.  This is just to give you an Idea on how the eyeshadows look when applied :) 

I used the highlight "shimmer kiss" in the inner corner of my eyes and a little on the brow bone

"Chocolate" on the lid 

A little bit of "Cookie" in the crease along with a little of the bronzer 

I got a black eyeliner to line the top and lower lash line and smudged it a little so it would not look harsh for day time

I also took a a darker almost black brown shadow from another palette to put on the outter corner to darken the look just a little.  With a good primer this eye look lasted all day long after about 9 hours wear i did notice some fading but for everyday thats very good.  

I am also wearing MUA Cream blush in "Yummy" on my cheeks :) 

please excuse the no lipstick in this picture as i ran to the window to take the photo really quick before the  sun went in again lol
