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 is your favourite eyeshadow palette?

♥

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? :)

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?

DIOR ADDICT LIP GLOW

Dior states:

A made-to-measure lip balm that beautifies and durably enhances the lips’ natural color.

A customized color result : thanks to its Color Reviver technology, Dior Addict Lip Glow reacts directly with the unique chemistry of each woman’s lips before releasing its color ingredient. Lips seem revived from within, amazingly fresh, full and radiant.

In addition, its SPF10 formula enriched with wild mango and luffa cylindrica continuously protects and moisturizes. A universal balm for all lips.

I have heard a few people recommend this, and it seems like a wonderful product for everyday use in work.

But I'm also thinking about the price... £20 (something) for what sounds like a tinted lip balm - it needs to be GOOD!

Have you tried this? Would you recommend it? Do I really need this? ;)

Monthly favourites

♥ Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating Scrub ♥

I first discovered this when I got a little sample of it in a magazine. I used it twice, fell in love, and now I own a big bottle of it :D

This scrub has energising microbeads which exfoliate my skin. It's gentle, but at the same time I can really feel that it is doing my skin some good. It's turns into a lovely soft foam when you rub it into your skin & it also has that cooling sensation, which I am a huge fan of.

♥ Diorshow Iconic ♥

I love this mascara. It has a soft elastomer brush (yes, I looked it up), which coats all of my lashes in a natural and non-clumping fashion. This is not as dramatic as the original Diorshow mascara, so I use this mainly for daytime.

♥ MAC Slimshine Lipstick in Voile ♥

I Back To Mac'd for this product, and boy am I happy I did! This is a gorgeous lipstick and it is super moisturising! It's like a cross between a lipstick and a gloss!! On the lips it looks like a pale golden sparkly colour. Very wearable and fun for a night out :)

♥ Too Faced Beauty Balm in Grapefruit ♥

My trusted lipgloss in a jar, how I adore thee (which I have mentioned many times on here).

This is my everyday gloss/balm. It looks just like the colour in the container when it's on your lips, it moisturises & smells like grapefruit! What more could a girl ask for?!

♥ Barry M Nail Paints in Berry & Strawberry Ice Cream ♥

Ooooo, I luuuuuuuve these!! Perfect pastel colours for spring. Amazing quality, texture & colour.

You've done it again, Barry M!!

♥ Midnight Fantasy Eau De Parfum by Britney Spears ♥

This bottle is to die for & the smell is amazing. My 'go-to' perfume for any night out. I get so many compliments when I wear this! I seriously suggest that you check this out if you haven't already ;)

Just for fun I have added two more non-beauty related products to my list,

which I will have in my 'Monthly Favourites' posts from now on:

♥ Jewellery Of The Month ♥

(simply the jewellery I have been wearing the most)

I have been using this little silver key necklace everyday since I got it a few weeks ago

(£6 from Debenhams). It's on a medium length thin silver chain. So cute!

♥ Film of the month ♥

(A film I have been obsessed with this month, but not necessarily a newly released film...)

I have owned this film for probably 2 years, but this month I kind of re-discovered how much I love it! Definitely on my top 10 favourite films of all time list.

It is romantic, beautiful, inspiring & heartbreaking - ♥♥♥

Hope you enjoyed my monthly favourites!

Leave a comment or question and I will heart you forever :D

Moi je joue

Moi je joue à joue contre joue

Je veux jouer à joue contre vous

Mais vous, le voulez-vous?

De tout coeur

Je veux gagner ce coeur à coeur

Vous connaissez mon jeu par coeur

Alors défendez-vous

Sans tricher, je vous le promets

J'ai gagné, tant pis c'est bien fait

Vous êtes mon jouet

A présent, ce ne sera plus vous mais toi

Et tu feras ca t'apprendra

N'importe quoi pour moi

Sans m'en faire, je vais t'assurer

Un enfer de griffes et de crocs

Tu crieras bientot "Au secours"

Alors décidant de ton sort

Pour m'éviter quelques remords

Je t'aimerai plus fort

Oh oui plus fort

Oh oui oui oui, plus fort

Oh la la...
