MAC 15 X Warm Neutral palette review

Hey guys! A while back I told you that when I travel and I see a Sephora, I like to take some make-up items home that normally I don't get to buy.

When I got back from Malaga, I had so many items to review and then I went to Portugal about a month after and got even more stuff. 

Needless to say, some of the items haven't been reviewed yet and I thought today would be a nice day to catch up on that.

The palette that I'm reviewing today is the MAC 15X Warm Neutral palette. This palette holds 15 eyeshadows that MAC has picked out for this certain palette. The pans are the size of the singles that you can get in the store.

I think this palette looks so good. There are so many different shades and textures. Some matt, some shimmery. I think this is a perfect everyday palette, good for both neutral and more eyecatching looks.

Here you can see the swatches. This first picture contains the swatches of the first row. The lighter colours are well pigmented. A bit powdery but that's it. The black-ish colour isn't pigmented very well.

The second row is well pigmented as well. Especially the gold (called "Amber lights", which I own in a single eyeshadow as well) is very pigmented, but if you pay attention to the highlight colours near my hand, you'll see that those are quite nice as well. 

They just don't show up on my skin that much because the colours of the eyeshadows and my skin are nearly thesame.

And the third row is probably my favourite. There are a few yellows and a very beautiful green eyeshadow.

I decided to work mostly with the colours from the third row. I applied a brown eyeshadow in my crease and blended out and decided to darken it up a little bit more with the black eyeshadow. It might not be very pigmented in the swatch, but it did work quite well on the eyes. I had no problems applying or blending it whatsoever.

I used the yellow "Lemon Tarte" in my inner corner, the gold in the middle and the green on the outer corner.

And this is what the end result looks like. I'm very satisfied with this palette.

I hope you have a really good day! 

Let me know what you think and I'll see you soon! 

H&M Tuscan eyeshadow palette

Goodmorning everyone! I'm back with a review on one of my favourite birthday presents this year. My collegues at H&M got me a Tuscan eyeshadow palette for my birthday.

This palette is absolutely gorgeous. It holds 20 eyeshadow colours that range from light to dark. There's cool toned shades and warm toned shades in this palette as well. The pops of eyeshadows in this palettes are the copper/red's and the green shades. Most of the eyeshadow colours are glittery.

This is what the palette looks like. The daylight really doesn't do it any justice. If you should come across this palette, see for yourself, it's absolutely gorgeous.

I decided I would go for a pink/copper make-up look (I've really been into coppers and reds for my eyes).

 

 

Here are some swatches from the palette. I was very surprised by the pigmentation. Sure, the darker colours have some fall out, but the colour pay off is so much better than I expected!

 

 

Here's the finished look and some close up pictures!

 

 

Thanks a lot for reading!

Have a lovely day!

EOTD: Flawless smokey eyes

Hello everyone! How are you doing? Last week I showed you my Flawless make-up palette and I promised you I would have more make-up looks online soon.

Today I created a darker, smokey make-up look that I created using the green and silver eyeshadows in this palette.

I used brown and dark grey (almost black) eyeshadow in my crease and outer corner. My lid is covered in green eyeshadow in the outer part and grey glittery eyeshadow in the inner part. Because the look is quite dark, I decided not to apply winged eyeliner. I did apply mascara to both the upper and the lower lashline.

In the following pictures you can see the full face end result. What do you think of this look?

I'll be back soon with more! 

Have a good day! 

Revolution Flawless 2 palette ♥

Happy May!

Last week I showed you my newest make-up palette called "Flawless" by Revolution. And damn, that palette was indeed flawless. It impressed me so much that I decided to get the second "Flawless" palette.

The hot pink packaging doesn't shy away for anything or anyone, although the colours inside are a bit more neutral than the previous palette. Aside from a couple very bright copper and hot pinks, this palette exists mostly out of matte, cool-toned neutral shades. A few really nice blending colours, plenty of highlight colours and of course some shades to darken up your ideal look.

This is what the eyeshadow palette looks like. The colours in the right upper corner immediately caught my eye. They are very vibrant and bright, just how I like them. The colours on the left are taupes and browns, and plenty of different shades that can be used for blending or highlighting the browbone. I don't think I have any palette with this much blending colours. I love that they're in here though, you can make or break your look by using (or not using) a transitioning colour.

 

 

I swatched a couple of the eyeshadows from this palette. As you can see, the lighter shades and the matt eyeshadows are a little less pigmented than the darker or brighter colours. You might have to put a little more work in building up the intensity of the colours.

The black shades in this palette give a bit of fall out, but surprisingly, not much. The pigmentation of the other eyeshadows is good.

 

 I will be back soon with (-hopefully a ton of-) new looks!

 

Have a great day! See you soon!

EOTD: Soft smokes

Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! 

On Sunday I showed you my newest palette called the "Flawless" palette by Revolution. I created a copper/pink look that day but realised soon enough that I can pretty much create any look I want to with this palette, there are simply so many different textures, shades and tones.

I love my soft smokey eyes, where I use lighter colours in the crease and go darker towards the upper lashline. No need for winged eyeliner and nice, gradually faded shadows. Today I decided to do one of those looks using my Flawless palette. I used green and silver eyeshadows for this look.

I think it looks really sophisticated and it doesn't even take that much work - however - blending is key in looks like these!

Have a look!

Some close-ups!

Have a lovely day!

Revolution blush palette review

Goodmorning everyone! I'm back with a product that I'm crazy excited about! 

Today I'm going to tell you about my ultra blush palette by Revolution. I am a huge blush fan (always have been) so when I found this palette, I could barely keep it together!

 

Although the packaging looks exactly thesame as all the other palettes, what's inside is absolutely stunning.This blush palette holds eight different colours. Some of them are sparkly, some of them are matt. The colours vary from peach to pink to tan, which is amazing because there's something in this palette for everyone.

Here's a closer look! 

The colours are quite pigmented. I tried the second one starting from the left on the top row a couple of days ago and you have to be so so careful with these blushes because of the pigment in it. I tried the more nude shades on the left side of the palette as well and those too are very pigmented.

The blushes on the right are very shimmery and metallic so I use those as highlighters. Below you can find a picture of what I look like after a long day. The blush is still there, it has faded a little but I think it looks quite natural. Nice!

Thanks once again for reading! Have a good day!

I ♥ make-up palette review!

Hello everyone! How are you?

I just got back from a school trip where I got to spend the week with my high school students (which is pretty rare for an intern, but it was so much fun!).

Ever since arriving home I've been spending my days trying to enjoy and spending my nights working on lesson preparations. 

It hasn't been all work and no play, I have allowed myself a couple of things this spring break and well... One of them was to "treat myself". So I did. I treated myself to a new palette by "I ♥ make-up", which is a brand that I've never tried, but I was pretty curious!

 

The packaging is quite simple, but I think it looks nice. Hot pink letters are always a good idea!

This is what the inside of the palette looks like. So many different shades! This palette holds 32 colours. Some of them shimmery, some of them matt! In this palette you'll also find two small applicator brushes and a giant mirror.

Here are the swatches. Both dark and lighter colours actually have a good colour pay off. I wish they would have been a bit more pigmented, but obviously, I've seen worse so I'm not upset. I've also noticed there's little to no fall out.

Time for an eye look! I've kept it quite neutral today. I've also used cool toned eyeshadows instead of the regular gold today. I'm not used to it yet, but it's quite nice. Change is good!

What do you think of this look?

Thanks for reading!

EOTD: Storm part 2

It's amazing how many different you can create using only one palette.

This last week I have been talking about the Sleek Storm palette. I have showed you the haul, the review and one look. Today I have another one for you. 

 

This look is completely different from the previous one. In this look, I decided to go for warm colours such as brown, yellow and gold (in contrary to the pink look I made last week). I'm also planning on doing a green and blue one. That one might be the most exciting one yet!

Other products used in this post:
- Sleek eyebrow set
- Bourjois foundation
-Catrice bronzer
-Essence powder



Have a lovely Tuesday! ♥

EOTD: Storm part 1

It's Friday, hooray! Hope you guys have been having a great week this week! I'm looking forward to the weekend very much!

I have already created a Friday appropriate make-up look today. It's still wearable enough for during the day, but I also think it's quite "put together" for Friday evenings. 

I would even wear more dramatic liner or false lashes at night but hey, let's not get ahead of ourselves! ;)

I have used my newest palette to achieve this look, the "Storm" palette by Sleek.

I decided to go for the colours that I'm very into currently, which are pink, burgundy, purple,...

I also left my usual liquid eyeliner behind and went for a smoked out, soft line that I created using the black eyeshadow from this palette.

It isn't the blackest eyeshadow I've ever owned, but it's a good one for sure!

What do you think of this look?

Do you have any requests for make-up looks? Let me know! 

Have a nice Friday and I hope to see you on Sunday!
