Palette Appreciation- Glo Minerals Majestic Jungle

I am loving this series on my blog, the excuse to use a palette for one week was all I needed to finally use my eye shadow palettes, that had once basically been collection items. Some of my palettes look good, and I just find it hard to use them, because in some weird way, I feel that I am tarnishing them, lol.

I love the packaging of this palette.
This would be a perfect palette for travel, with a lovely mix of mattes and shimmer, it could be used for any occasion, day or night. The pigmentation is rather good. The formula is soft and buttery to use, the only con is that the surface of the shadows do crumble slightly in the pan..can get messy.


Included in the palette are 2 automatic liners. What I love is no need for a sharpener. The point is quite small, which should make controlling the line easier. However, the formula is a little hard, so I found that on the upper lashline especially, I did experience tugging, therefore I couldn't achieve a smooth line. On the lower lashline, I absolutely loved the grey. By using this colour, my look appeared finished, but not harsh like I have been finding black to be. I was rather surprised, because I've not rated this colour before. I have storage for product that I use on a daily basis, the grey liner is now among those items!

 Look 3


 Look 4


 Look 5

I covered both eye looks that I normally don't do. Neutral and smoky. It was refreshing seeing neutral tones on my lids. I find smoky looks a little intimidating, so more practice is needed there.

This palette is so versatile, easily going from a day look to a night one. You want casual, done! Drama? Easy! I love it!

What is your most versatile palette?

    Had a typo in my last comment and thought deleting it would make it disappear.

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
