CURRENT WISHLIST: NEW-IN PALETTES

Hello everyone! It has been a few months now since i last shared all of the new-in makeup/beauty products that i am currently lusting after, so i thought it was about time i gave you all an update (but one with a twist). It has been so long since a new-in palette really caught my eye and recently it seems as if everyone is launching new palettes, that are getting my attention and of course i couldn't not share...

huda beauty topaz obsessions palette | £25 |

First up is this gorgeous warm neutrals palette by Huda Beauty, which to me screams the perfect travel eyeshadow palette as it is filled with so many different shades to create so many different looks with. The palette has the perfect mixture of matte and duo-chrome shimmers, all vibrant in colour and for a higher end palette, i think £25 is actually not a bad price point for the amount of shadows/the quality of the shadows you are getting.

too faced gingerbread spice eyeshadow palette | £39 |

I love a good Too Faced eyeshadow palette and i have so many in my makeup collection already, but the brand always seems to get my attention when releasing a new palette (especially during the holiday season). The new gingerbread spice palette is yet another palette filled with my kind of shades, as well as a couple of wild cards thrown in there. I literally can not wait to get my hands on this palette, as if it is anything like their other palettes it is going to have a beautiful scent to it and gingerbread is up there as one of my favourites.

nyx limited edition machinist highlighter palette | £10 |

One thing that i love about NYX as a brand, is the fact that the texture of their powders are always simply beautiful and like no other. That being said there is no wonder i am drawn to this highlighter duo, firstly because i love and hoard highlighters and second of all because the texture of highlighters are highly pigmented yet silky soft/smooth. You can pick these limited edition highlighter palettes up in three different shades, but my personal favourite is the shade grind.

urban decay naked cherry eyeshadow palette | £42 |

Oh my, oh my, Urban Decay have done it again by bringing out yet another stunning naked palette, this time filled with warm cherry/purple tones. This isn't a palette i would reach for on an everyday basis unlike i do with the naked heat palette, that being said i still love reaching for these shades from time to time. Even though these particular palettes are in a specific colour scheme like post palettes, you can still create a wide variety of looks.

revolution pro x nath highlight/contour palette | £10 |

Revolution and the Revolution Pro range are definitely one of my favourite affordable brands, mainly because of their high end quality but low end prices. When i spotted this collaboration palette in the new-in section i was drawn to how the over-all product looked, from its super travel friendly packaging to its shade ranges/tones. Revolution have a bunch of super affordable eyeshadow palettes which i highly recommend, including an all new eyeshadow palette as part of the same collaboration.  

l.a girl pro.contour powder highlight/contour duo | £6 |

I have tried a handful of products from L.A Girl in the past and a few of them i still reach for time and time again, especially their HD/PRO foundation and concealer. I recently spotted this in the new-in section on BeautyBay and it left me thinking, surely this product is going to be as good as the foundation/concealer. The great thing about this highlight/contour duo is not only the fantastic price, at just £6 but also the fact that it is available in seven shades and can also be picked up in cream form as well as powder.

EVERYDAY WARM AUTUMNAL EYESHADOWS

Hello everyone! So last week i shared my current everyday go-to base makeup and in that post i mentioned how i had been loving wearing a warm matte brown shade, simply buffed out in the crease as well as on the lid. With that in mind for today's post i thought i would share with you some of my current favourite warm autumnal matte brown shades, that i have been reaching for on an everyday basis.

dose of colors baked browns eyeshadow palette

Ever since i first got my hands on this particular palette, i have been completely obsessed with this one particular shade in the palette which is called "deserted". The shade deserted is the most beautiful/perfect warm caramel/beige shade, that looks amazing either just in the crease as a transition shade or for an all over look. This particular palette is amazing for makeup in a rush, as these shadows blend/apply beautifully and effortlessly. This palette is more on the expensive side at £28 for just five shadows, but for this shade worth it.

too faced chocolate bar eyeshadow palette

So i love love love this palette, but i only ever tend to reach for these two particular shades that happen to be perfect for the warm matte brown eye look, that i am loving recently. These two shades are salted caramel and semi-sweet, the first is the most beautiful medium warm caramel/beige matte shade and then following up with semi-sweet which is slightly deeper but still on the warm side. These particular sized eyeshadow palettes by Too Faced retail for £39, but for the quality/amount of shadows and not to mention how amazing the shadows smell, well worth investing in either this one or the sweet peach one.

freedom #proartist sweet life, freedom #proartist brown sugar, makeup geek frappe

Next up we have a few of my go-to warm shades from my well loved custom palette, which has eyeshadows from MAC, Freedom, Makeup Geek and Morphe. That being said at the moment these three particular ones are my favourite, the Freedom #ProArtist eyeshadows are such amazing value for money as they only retail for £1-2 (£5 for 5 pack) and they are equally as pigmented/easy to blend as high-end eyeshadows. Makeup Geek eyeshadows are also another great affordable eyeshadow brand, the shade frappe has been a favourite of mine for so long now. All three of these shades are super warm and more on the orange/burnt side of brown, which is what makes them perfect for this time of year.

urban decay naked heat eyeshadow palette

Finally we have two of my favourite shades from the most talked about eyeshadow palette recently, which has also been branded the perfect autumnal palette by so many people (me included). This palette is great for creating both matte and shimmer eye looks, but the shades sauced and low blow are perfect for creating that effortless warm brown eye look. Just like the Too Faced eyeshadow palettes, the Naked palettes are also more on the expensive side at £39.50 and i would definitely say if you haven't ever tried one of the palettes before, this one is a must-try along side the Naked 2 palette.

FREEDOM #PROARTIST PRO HD CUSTOM EYESHADOW PALETTE

Hello everyone! So when it comes down to eyeshadows i love a good palette, whether that be a quad or even a twelve or more shadow palette. To take things that bit further there is only one thing i love more and that is custom creating your own eyeshadow palette, which i have blogged about a couple of times in the past in a makeup obsession custom palette and custom creating my own perfect neutrals palette. With that in mind when one of my new favourite affordable brands Freedom, launched their #proartist refillable magnetic palettes i just had to make one of my own and once again the brand has shocked me at the quality of their products.

I have actually already tried eyeshadows from Freedom before, as i have the pro32 innocent palette and i was really impressed by them because of the buttery soft yet easy to blend texture. Putting that aside i had never tried any of the #proartist eyeshadows, blushes or contour/bronzing products except for the concealer. So when they launched these packs of five pan shadows for £5 (£1 a shadow) called the hd eye foils (they also stock the shadows loose for £2 each), i just had to make a palette up of my own. 

The palette i created is made up of three of the five pack shadows, with both matte and shimmer/foil shades costing a total of £15 and the empty magnetic palette was £5. This makes the total of the palette £20 for both the palette and fifteen shadows, how much of a bargain is that? Especially taking into consideration that Makeup Geek shadows are almost £5 each and MAC shadows are £10 each, the concept is completely identically for a lot less. Just like the other eyeshadows i had already tried, these #proartist shadows are also as pigmented, easy to blend, if not even better than some other shadows from MAC. Like i mentioned above this palette is made up of the freedom #proartist pro hd empty magnetic palette and the three #proartist pro hd eye foil five pack shadows, which are the hd burnt, hd matte bare and hd bare packs.
