Hello everyone! First of all, big thanks to Justine for the kind invite to guest post on her blog!
So today I'm bringing you a little makeup related post about my three favourite, high end (ish) palettes. I like to call these ladies 'The Supreme Dream Team'
As a beauty obsessive, I've had my fair share of beauty lusts, I've made mistakes along the way (one or two overly hyped palettes that fell flat when I tried to use them), but there's been a couple of solid 10/10 purchases and those ladies are who I'm sharing with you today, it'd be rude not to, right?
You can't go wrong with MAC for the most part, they usually get their formulas spot on and are one of the first brands the beauty obsessed gravitate towards, for years and years I wanted to have my own 15 pan palette from MAC but I was looking at paying around £150 to make a custom one so I let that dream slide but then the day came, MAC released pre filled palettes, full sized, all 15 pans filled with beautiful shades all for the bargain price of £49.50, yes that's almost £100 saving! I've used this palette over and over again, it is great for travel (hence the scuffed up lid) and I'm now looking to buy the other 15 pan filled palette which is cool neutrals.
When I first saw images of this palette doing the rounds on Instagram, I was sold. Everything from the colours of the shadows to the pink velvet casing just screamed perfection to me. I originally was worried about the price because at £41, it isn't the cheapest palette out there but I couldn't resist and with some trepidation I placed my order. I couldn't be more thrilled that I did, the shades are HIGHLY pigmented so you definitely need to tap your brush off before you go in for the kill but they all blend beautifully and they're so wearable to create a whole host of pretty looks. Think you won't wear that bold pink or the strong red? Think again, use them in sparingly in your outer corners and blend with the more neutral shades and you end up with a really pretty and wearable smokey eye.
The Naked 3 Palette - rose gold goodness with the brand assurances that you get from Urban Decay, it's not hard to see how this palette sold out when it first hit our shelves, I wasn't sure I'd like this as much as I liked the other two Naked palettes but as time has gone by it is the Naked 3 that I find myself reaching for most, the shimmer shades are really very sparkly but I kind of like that about this palette, if there's one thing Urban Decay does well, it's shimmer and this palette really delivers.
So that brings us to the end of our three must have palettes, if you've tried any of these be sure to let me know, I love hearing about everyone's makeup experiences.
Speak soon!
