Stocktake 2015- Palettes

By far the makeup I am obsessed with is eye shadow palettes. I don't need any more, but when I see a lovely palette, I think I do. I must have it, even though in most cases I haven't even used the ones that I have.



Small palettes that consist of no more than 4 shadows- 40.






Larger palettes- 79

Thankfully with my Palette Appreciation series, these palettes are slowly being used, rather than being hoarded and being the very definition of a collection. As you can probably tell, I am rather fond of palettes that are in a budget friendly range. I have added some pricier palettes to my collection, but I have only used the Urban Decay Naked palette once, and have only swatched the others. To be honest, the hype and the packaging reels me in, then I find it hard to bring myself to use them, lol.

 I hope you are having a wonderful Friday!

    I too get lured in by packaging and hype!
    I don't have as many as you, however I definitely don't use them as much as I should!

    This is the 2nd or 3rd time I've come to drool here without posting. So many gorgeous palettes. I recognise a lot of Sleek & even the little L'Oreal Disco Smoking, which is a favourite of mine. I also see a lot I don't recognise. My stash doesn't come close to this, but I use pretty much everything I've got.

      That's where I want things to change, I don't want so much makeup collecting dust. I think it's great that you get use out of everything you own, better than just piling up eventually being unusable :)

    I love this! I'm such a palette hoarder myself that this post just makes me all kinds of happy haha...I do try to shop my stash from time to time though to make sure they all get some ♥!

    Btw, what are the shadows in the little z-palette and also in the palette next to the Galaxy Chic?

      Shopping your stash is such a great idea, fun too! The eye shadows in the z-palette are from Venemous Cosmetics, they are sold as sample size and were only $2 each, fantastic pigment, too! If you are referring to the left, that's a custom palette from Coastal Scents, to the right is a cheapie from Amuse Beauty 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.
