Shop My Stash Palette Edition- Makeup Revolution I Heart Makeup Chocolate Mint Palette

I knew it would shock you to write about yet another Makeup Revolution I Heart Makeup eye shadow palette! :P Believe it or not, though, I had considered not buying this palette. I actually didn't love the green over chocolate packaging, I know, packaging isn't that important, right? But still! I love the metallic colours, but the mint green just looked tacky and like kids makeup to me. I will say though, that it's not so bad in person.



This palette has ABH Subculture vibes and we all know the bad press that palette got, I think that was another aspect of the palette that I was apprehensive about. I couldn't wait to swatch it to see what the shadows and shades were like.





The shadows swatched well. It didn't really scream mint chocolate to me, but I was interested in some of the potential colour combinations I could use. I was especially wanting to use the 3rd and 4th shades in the 2nd row. Anyway, here's the looks I did come up with.

Look 2


Look 3
Look 4

I actually really enjoyed using this palette. I was tempted to continue using it for longer, but I would like to get use out of quite a few different eye shadow palettes this year. The mattes blended nicely and the shimmers were quite pigmented. Well, the yellow shimmer shade not so much, but the soft yellow look I created with this shadow was probably my favourite of the looks.

I hope you are having a great weekend xx

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...
