My palettes


Palettes, palettes, palettes... My new obssession (among others :p). I find them so handy and they are often a good deal compared to single eyeshadows.

I am going to show my little precious pieces, starting with the greatest one: The Naked palette



This one is the first one I bought and is the one which somehow started my love for palettes. I already dedicated a whole post to this palette so I am not going to say much but this one is of course my favorite one, I love most of the colours, actually all of them even if I use some more than others, Buck being my ultimate favorite. Virgin great highlighting colour, Naked perfect base colour, Smog amazing on its own, Half baked perfect golden color so beautyful on hazel eyes. This palette is also a very deal you get 12 great quality for 43euros, around 3euros the eyeshadow that's extremely cheap. And I can promise you that you will fully enjoy it and won't regret your purchase.

The second palette I got is the Sleek palette in Oh So Special


I chose this palette for the pink shades it offers. I think I will get a lot of looks out of this for spring and summer but actually the colour I'm using almost everyday at the moment is the cream shade which I use as a base with Buck from the Naked palette in the crease, very pretty for everyday. The Sleek eyeshadows are very good quality, a little powdery maybe but it doesn't disturb me as long as they are pigmented and the are. 10pounds for a palette liki this, another good deal :)

Next one, MUA Undress me too palette:


This one is a desappointment. It is very popular for being an exact dupe of the Naked 2 palette. Since I already have the Naked 1 and that even if I like some of the colours in the Naked 2 I don't think it is worth it for me to buy it but when such a perfect dupe is available for 4pounds, there are no more reasons for me not to get it. So I bought it after having checked a little around and seen that everyone loved it and that it was good quality. Unfortunately I desagree with most of the reviews. The pigmentation is quite bad, when you swatch it on the hand it looks good but on the lid it is very sheer and patchy. The shadows are hard to apply homogenously and look very powdery on even with a primer. Too bad because some colours are cool but maybe it is no need to try to imitate the Nakeds because they are simply too good :p

Finally, the Wet n Wild "Knock on wood" palette:




These small palettes are very popular and very cheap. Wet N Wild's eyeshadows are said to be very good quality and very pigmented and well, they actually are. The packaging is not very classy or good looking but the product in it is still very good. I like very much the top and the bottom colours.

Here were my palettes, I'm planning on creating my own with my mono eyeshadows that I would depot but this will be another post :)
Hope you enjoyed and that it was helpful ;)
