My all time favourite make-up palettes

Hello everyone!
A little while ago I was talking to someone about my favourite make-up palettes that I'd recommend and I noticed I haven't done a post like this in a while (or maybe not ever). So today, I want to show you my favourite make-up palettes. I will link the reviews of each make-up palette (that I have reviewed) in this post, so you can read all about my opinion if you'd like.

Of course, my Nude 'Tude make-up palette by The Balm. This palette is amazing! Not only the quality and pigmentation of the eyeshadows, but just the design of the palette. Who wouldn't love a pin-up girl palette?! I've had this for nearly a year now and I still love it and use it a lot. It has been featured in many of my posts!
You can find my review on it here!


The "To die for" palette by Essence is my favourite neutral drugstore palette ever. I recommend this to people who ask me for a cheap but good quality palette all the time. I still use my palette a lot, especially on work days or days when I don't have time to play around with my make-up!


Then there are of course my two ELF colour palettes.
The one on the left is the 144 neutral palette and the one on the right is the 144 colours palette. These palettes have every colour you could ever want and so I use them very often. Not only for new looks, but I also use them for make-up jobs.

My reviews on both palettes can be found here:
Elf bright palette
Elf neutral palette


This palette is my summer love. I got it in April when I was in Prague with school and I've been using it at least twice a week ever since.
The colours are bright, lovely, and well pigmented as always. Read more about it here.


Next, I'm also a big fan of the two palettes by MUA that I got recently. The one in the white packaging is called "Undress me too" and the palette in the black packaging is called "Undressed". Nice colours, good pigmentation, very affordable.
They are considered to be the cheap dupes of the Urban Decay Naked Palettes.

A sneak peek inside my beauty closet: eyeshadow palettes

Hello everyone! We're continuing the "sneak peek inside my beauty closet" series with the next subject: palettes! I love palettes just because they have a lot of colours and there are multiple looks you can make with one palette.
Palettes are my thing, I love them. It's quite obvious that I have a huge palette collection. Want to take a look?

The first brand that I have quite a few palettes of is Catrice. They have a bunch of amazing palettes that have good pigmentation and are budgetproof! I keep collecting!








Catrice "Twinkle in the eye" palette review (discontinued)

Next I have my palettes by H&M. I can't really say if I'm disappointed by H&M or if I like it, simply because some colours look better than others. I think the quality could/should get a little better.





This palette is a palette that I got at Paris in New Look. It's from a collection that Kelly Brook did with them. Sadly, this palette is a huge disappointement! The black isn't really even black, the shimmery colour payoff sucks, I mean...


I also tried out a couple of NYC palettes. I have a palette with darker colours that also holds a highlighter and an eyeshadow base, I love that! The colour pay off is nice. So is the colour pay off of the other palette, which is a more neutral one.


Onto my more expensive palettes, of which I only own two! The first one is my Nude 'Tude palette by The Balm (you guys have heard about this palette many many times before) and a MAC palette that is only half filled. The colours I put in that palette are "Honey Lust" (gold) and "Bronze" (brown).



I have three "bigger" palettes with quite a few colours. The first one is by Body Collection, which was a really cheap purchase but the quality is rather good. Next I have my two huge palettes by ELF. They're the 144 bright eyeshadow palette and the 144 neutral eyeshadow palette. I also have one by Claire's.









Another disappointment, unfortunately, is this palette by Covergirl. The pigmentation looks okay when you swatch on your hands or your wrists but I have a very hard time getting any colour on my eye. It just doesn't work.


Next I have a couple of Essence palettes. The quality and price is very similar to Catrice.
I especially love the Essence quattro palettes, they hold the most beautiful colours!



Those are my beloved palettes! I do have some other ones that I'm going to collect and give to charity because I don't use them. Thanks for reading!
Have a lovely day!
