Beauty Review MAC a novel romance palette

Beauty: MAC 30 Palette update

1st Row: Plum dressing, nocturnelle
2nd Row: Beautiful Iris, Girlie, Haux, Cranberry
3rd Row: Shale, Mystery, Naked Lunch, blackberry

I'm sure anyone who has tried to build a MAC palette understands the time and dedication it takes to fill one of these beauts up. Last christmas I got a palette and two eye-shadow fills. A year later I have 11 shades, I try to buy 1-2 a month depending on my outgoings. I realised I had been positing about some of the shades I had bought but not about my actual palette.

When building this palette I wanted a mix of neutrals( browns/ beiges), pinks, purples and some greens. I wrote a mega list out on the shades I wanted - which has been changed countless times. I think it's always handy to get an idea of what you want the palette to look like at the end so when you go to look you aren't buying shades on a whim that don't go together. My palette does look slightly like that especially at first but luckily some of the shades I bought on a whim goes with other shades in my palette thanks to having the aim of purples and pinks!

What shades would you recommend? I'm looking at sketch and trax...

Beauty: palette wishlist

There are soooo many beautiful palettes out at the moment. I've probably missed another 10 odd that I want.

I think its safe to say from the above picture I NEED a lorac palette in my life!!! I've heard such good things about these palettes! Such great colour selections! even in the mini unzipped palette!

The first palette is an Estee Lauder palette in current desire, there was at least another 2-3 versions of this palette that I would like too but of all of them this was my favourite. I think its got perfect christmas party shades!

We've got 2 cheeky Urban decay palettes the on the run palette which i dont think is out yet! everything you need everyday I think this palette is going to be a bag space life saver! the Vice 3 palette has some amazing colours and what I like about this palette is they include some colours I would never go for so if I ever needed them there is an opportunity with this palette!

Lastly is the NARS virtual domination cheek palette! £45 I'm sooo undecied to buy thus, the packaging is beaaautiful but in the Narcissist palette I already have laguna and deep throat. but. two limited edition shades....and that coral shade looks so nice.... DILEMMA. A few people have said that the pigmentation isn't as good as a stand alone blush, has anyone tried this, is it true? I do find this is the case with my Narcissist palette

What palettes are you all lusting after?

Beauty: Review - Naked 3 palette.

So... since the day I first laid eyes on the fact there was a naked 3 and the shades in it, I think my heart exploded a little inside. Of course the entire beauty/blogging world also went mad for it and it was sold out preeetty much straight away.
                               

When I was home it was heaps more expensive from sephora so I waited; and waited, till the day I found it again, and NOW IT'S MINE!!!!
The shades are exactly the kind of shades I am putting in my MAC eyeshadow palette, whites, pinks and browns. Pretty neutral but thats what I love.

In the Naked 2 palette, Tease was my ultimate favourite go to day-to-day eyeshadow a nice matte purpley brown that wasn't overly obvious. So...from the day I saw this palette I was preeeeeeeeetty excited about Nooner which is a more pinky matte and I have to say its GORGEOUS!! I can't pick a favourite honestly!! The other Matte shade is limit a really soft pink which I like to use on the inners and then blend out into nooner sometimes to open up my eyes a little.

It has two dark shades which are Darkside which is like a dark chocolatey brown and Blackheart which is a black with pink shimmer. I really like darkside because sometimes I find the black in the Naked 2 palette is just a bit too strong for me so this is a little more suttle. I also tried a smokey eye with Liar and factory which I really liked. I might do some Naked 3 Palette looks as a blog post, what do you think?  The strange in this palette is pretty similar to Foxy and Dust is a little sickly looking so I think those will be the two I use the least. Trick is also very similar to half baked.

I will say the brush is A LOT better in this palette, I found in the Naked 2 the brush just didn't pick up the pigment really at all and occasionally I would use the blending side but this brush picks it up and applies it really well on either side!

I think that this is definitely my favourite palette of the 3 which I really didn't think was possible considering how much I loved the naked 2. It retails at £37 which okay maybe it feels expensive but your getting twelve heavily pigmented shades and it works out around £3 per shade so when you think about it this is an absolute bargain!! And in all honestly I used Tease nearly everyday for 6 months and I am no where near pan!

Here's some more pics and comparing it to the Naked 2 palette.

What are your favourite shades?? Or Naked Palette?
