Project Increase Storage Space- Pressing Minerals

I loved the result of my past attempt at pressing minerals. It was fun and rewarding, knowing that I had created my own palette. I can only imagine what it must feel to create your own makeup! Anyway, I made another pressed minerals palette.
That's a terrible photo, it was too dark to take without flash, but you get the idea :)
I thought that Day To Night was a fitting name, due to the light neutrals and darker colours, for that more dramatic look.
These were swatched with my finger, no primer. I'm so happy with the pigmentation!

 I am already sorting through my loose mineral stash to create another palette :)

    I love all the colours in your palette and the name you've chosen too :-D

      Oh, those shadows you have would be fabulous pressed! The only finish that doesn't work quite as well is matte, that's what
      I've found anyway. .

      I used different brands, I just made sure that none of them were matte, I am yet to perfect pressing that finish. I really should have made note of the eye shadows that I used!

      Thank you, lovely. It's quite fun, a little messy, but that's all part of the fun, right? :)

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

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.
