Palette Appreciation- LA Colors "Wildflowers"

I am really enjoying this palette series, it's like I've got new goodies to play with and I'm not spending a dime! 

 This time around, I used LA Colors "Wildflowers", a beautiful palette that the lovely Kat from Kats Colourings very kindly sent me. Sorry hun that it's taken me this long to use it, but I sure do love it! The palette delivers some bright colour, probably suited to the warmer months, but meh, I just generally wear whatever shades take my fancy, no matter the season.



The shadows are so easy to work with, having a nice texture and easy blendability. Just as a side note, I did use shadows other than the palette to contour, however the main focus is on the palette, as you'll see.

Look 1. I just love that orange colour! I wasn't sure that I would, but it wasn't as pigmented as it looked, which made it so wearable!



Look 2. I couldn't wait to try the deep pink colour on my lids. I was going to the movies, and thought I had plenty of time to have a play, wash my face, then go out. No, I did not use my time wisely, before I knew it, my time had run out, lol.  Glam eyes with comfy casual clothes, not quite the match. Oh well, did love the eye look, tho, and well I spent most of the time in the dark, anyway, lol!



Look 3. Pink and purple are such a perfect combo :)



Look 4.


Look 5

If you have not tried LA Colors before and you happen to come across the brand, give it a try!

    Indie hon I'd completely forgotten about sending you this palette, so no apologies PLEASE, and especially not after seeing what you've done with it - gosh this is a feast for my tired old eyes! I've barely used anything except the raspberry from this palette, and you've totally inspired me doll ♥ I can't decide which one I love more, they're all so pretty xxx

      Thank you, lovely. I often admired this palette, but is with most of my palettes, it hadn't been used. Such a shame, because it is so pretty. Thanks to you, I got to experience how nice the LA Colors shadows are xx

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.
