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...


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.

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.

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.

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 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.  

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.

MY CURRENT TOP 5 FAVOURITE PALETTES

Hey guys, i hope you all had a great weekend and Happy Monday! So for today's post i thought i would give you a quick run down of my "current top 5 favourite palettes". Palettes are one of my favourite things about collecting makeup unlike individual shadows you can create several different looks from one place, which makes it so much easier...


1. W7 In The Buff eye shadow palette.
This eye shadow palette is my go to palette for either a neutral shades or browns and bronzes. The palette is super affordable, great quality pigmentation wise and is a really good dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette.

2. Urban Decay Naked 3 eye shadow palette.
 This is the perfect palette if you love your pink shades with a range of shadows from light to deep pinks/neutrals. I love that is has the perfect ratio of matte and shimmer eye shadows included. If any of you know that have tried Urban Decay shadows before you know that they have amazing staying power and are really easy to blend out.

3. The Balm Nude 'Tude eye shadow palette. 
I did a review a couple of months ago on this palette saying how crazy pigmented these shadows are and you literally only need to dab your brush on and off and tap off the excess. The colours in this palette are so versatile so you can create many different looks with it. I find myself going to this palette so much mainly for two shades "sassy" which is a perfect inner corner/brow bone highlight shade and "stand-offish" as it's the most beautiful champagne pink colour which looks great alone if you are in a hurry and want a shade that really opens up your eyes.

4. Soap & Glory Powder Trip bronze and blush palette.
I purchased this palette just after Christmas last year for half price in Boots which i think i got a complete bargain for it as the products are £11ish each and the palette only cost me only £10. Even thought palette appears quiet large it is very slimline and lightweight so it is still easy to travel with and you have your contour/blush/highlight in one place. 

5. Urban Decay Naked Basics eye shadow palette.
This palette would be great for you if you are either just starting out with make up or if you don't like to wear anything too crazy. I like to use this palette on the days where i don't want any colour on my lids but the shadows make your eyelids look like yours but better and then i use the black shade to create a cat winged liner effect.
