5 favourite... EYESHADOW PALETTES

I have 5 favourite palettes that I constantly reach for when I'm doing my makeup:

1.

 Dior 5 Couleurs Iridescent in 589 Goldfever

Dior's palettes are definitely my all time favourite, they are just amazing! Goldfever is the perfect palette in my opinion. All of the colours are highly wearable, the brown shadows are great for a natural daytime look, and the beautiful golds for more of a party look. Amaaaaaazing!

2.

Dior 5 Couleurs in 470 Spring Bouquet

Again a very versatile Dior palette. Creamy and flattering greys together with cute and fresh pink shadows. You also get the Dior quality, which I have never heard anybody complain about :)

3.

 4 Fleurs de Chanel

Just look how pretty!

4.

MAC Graphic Garden palette

This is the perfect nighttime palette. If ever I want to go for something a bit more "playful", I reach for the blues in this palette.

5.

Urban Decay Ammo eyeshadow palette

Just lots of fun colours! Very sparkly and pretty ♥

What's in my makeup bag!

This is an updated "what's in my makeup bag" post, which is one my favourite kind of posts to do and read on other blogs. I last did one in March (see here), and looking back, most of my day to day items have changed.

This is what I keep in my makeup bag at the moment:

Right, a breakdown of the products...


The makeup bag was a gift from my aunt, and I just think it's really pretty :)

The face products:

MAC mineralize blush in Warm Soul, Boiing concealer in 01, Benefit Stay Don't Stray, Stila blush in Bud, NARS cream blush in Penny Lane, MAC blush in The Perfect Cheek

The eye products:

Buxom eyeshadow in Pug, MAC Opulash mascara, Stila smudge pot in Black Cat, NARS soft touch shadow pencil in Goddess, YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils mascara

Lip products:

Buxom plumping lip balm in Copacabana, Korres lip butter in Jasmine, YSL Gloss Volupte in 6, YSL Rouge Pur Transparent in 22, Chanel Rouge Allure Laque in 76

Desirable eyeshadow palettes...

Guerlain Ombre Eclat 4 shade eyeshadow (£37)

 

Les 4 Ombres Christmas Collection Quadra Eye Shadow (£35

Bobbi Brown Smoky, Sultry, Smoldering collection (£34)

Dior Five Golds Eyeshadow Quint (£39)

 

YSL Five Colour eyeshadow in Garden of Eden (£39)

Shu Uemura Limited Edition Dreamy Petal palette (£49)

 

Giorgio Armani Eye palette (£39)



I'm dying for a new eyeshadow palette, and I have been drooling over all of the above, but I can't decide which one to get... they are all so pretty!

I'm leaning towards the Dior one, just because I have a few other Dior palettes and I love the quality, but maybe I should try something different this time...

Any recommendations? :)

Weekend Haul

Not done one of these posts for a while, so here is this weekend's new purchases :D

It was 3 for 2 on 17 cosmetics in Boots, so I picked up 3 glitter liners in Moon Rock, Stardust and Supernova. Then with my Boots £5 off voucher, I got yet another glitter eye liner (in Royal).

These are so fun for a night out!

Last weekend I picked up this beautiful Chanel Lip Lacquer in Ming.

I finally got the 'famous' 266 eyeliner brush from MAC (already tried it and LOVE it!) and from H&M I got a nail polish in the colour Grey Sky.

A cute necklace from Accessorize.

As it's getting cold I thought I'd invest in some new long cardigans, so I got two from H&M (only £9.99 each!).

Another nice and warm cardigan from H&M - this time £15.

A really cozy and soft jumper from Primark. Only £4! Bargainlicious.

Do you haul this weekend?

Updated makeup storage using my new MUJI drawers!

I owe you all a HUGE thank you for your tips on my Blogger Help post the other day.

A lot of people told me to go and look at the MUJI website, and sure enough there they were, the storage drawers that I have been hunting for!

I tracked down the shop (in the Trafford Centre, for those of you living near Manchester)

and purchased a set of 4 double drawers (£7.95 each).

I am SO happy with them, but of course I waaaaaaaay underestimated the amount of drawers I need to house all of my makeup, so I need to take another trip to MUJI and buy some more soon :)

Anyway, for now I am using the clear drawers for my everyday/go-to makeup of the moment,
as it is so easy to find and organise.

Some pictures:

Now I just need to buy drawers enough to store all of my blushes, which are still kept in the old box...

And the remaining face and eye products that I don't normally use on an everyday basis...

I will probably need another 5-6 double drawers :D

How do you store your makeup?
