The Glossy Truth

Favourite Palettes.

Today I'm going to talk about my favourite palettes. Excuse how grubby the packaging is, they're very well loved. 3 of these palettes are more high-end but there is one cheap palette. Since investing in some good palettes I never use single shadows any more and basically live out of them now!

First i'm going to talk about the palette i've had the longest, the Urban Decay Naked 3. This palette is a perfect neutral palette and the pigmentation is incredible. The sparkly shadows are so sparkly its almost like a glitter, it looks absolutely amazing. For the longest time I used the shade Bootycall for a highlight. My favourite shades are Half-Baked, Tease and Blackout. Once you get rid of the glitter over-hugh its the most intense black I own. It retails at £38 and can be found online or at any local Urban Decay counter.

The second palette is the Too Faced Chocolate Palette. This smells like chocolate which is always a hit with the clients and the pigmentation is crazy! My only annoyance is that it doesn't have a black, although the brown is very dark and lovely. The two matte browns are amazing and I honestly recommend this palette highly. This retails at £39 and can be found online at Boots or at your local Debenhams store.

This next palette was the most expensive and took me FOREVER to finish. This is the M.A.C customisable palette full with M.A.C eye-shadow pans. Inside this palette I have (from left to right, top to bottom): Carbon, Embark, Folie, Rule, Orb, Star Violet, Mythology, Charcoal Brown, Swiss Chocolate, All That Glitters, Steamy, Stars'n'Rockets, Sweet Lust, Jest, Artificial Earth (L.E). I love M.A.C so this was a must have to do for me, after you have the customisable palette you can buy 'refill' shadows that retail for £10 instead of £13 for the average eye-shadows. The only one I wouldn't suggest would be Carbon, this black is the worst black ever it's grey at best which is super disappointing.

Lastly, here is the cheap option - the 28 Neutral Palette from Coastal Scents. My favourite shade is the white, I honestly don't own another matte white that's pure white and super pigmented. The pigmentation is great, especially for the price and the pans are bigger than M.A.C shadows. This retails at $18.95 which translates to about £12.73 (then you have to add shipping from the U.S so id suggest saving up and getting more than one palette so the shipping is worth it!
