All about sunrise

 If there's one palette I've been loving lately, it's this beauty from Essence! Filled with six shimmery shades, the All about sunrise palette* is my perfect summer companion and makes creating different eye looks a complete breeze. I have to admit when I first saw this palette I was a little scared as this it is filled to the brim with shimmery shadows. But a couple of months later, I have found myself reaching for this on a regular basis as its just so versatile!

There are four different eye shadow palettes in the 'all about' range, containing six pretty eyeshadows each. Although this one happens to be my favourite! As you can see from the below image these shadows are nicely pigmented, meaning you're able to get a really intense look on the lids (which with a primer lasts for the duration of the day). Although I'd recommend applying before the rest of your make up as things can get a little messy during application!

Despite that, I love this palette and think if you love a bit of shimmer, this is the palette for you! At just £3.50, this little beauty knocks other budget brands out of the water and is well worth a try, You can find this online here.

Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 Palette

If there's one product everyone seems to be talking about lately it's this little beauty from Make Up Revolution.  At just £4, this palette appears to be a pretty good match to Urban Decay's Naked 3 filled with 12 rosey toned neutrals. The Iconic 3 provides a real mix of shimmer and matt shades meaning there's something for everyone and I was really pleased to find that these matt shades were just as good as their shimmey counter parts which isn't always guaranteed with cheaper eyeshadows.
While personally I prefer creating looks with the darker shades towards the right of the palette, I have been pleasantly surprised with wearability of some of the pinker shades. Applied on top of a decent eye primer the eyeshadow was still around eight hours later, albeit a little faded. As you can see below the shades are pretty pigmented considering the low price tag, although unfortunately the first shade matches with my skintone so isn't visible here.

At just £4 I think this palette is a complete steal! Have you tried anything from make up revolution?

Look Statement Eyes in Luxe

Eyeshadow has become a must have for me over the past month, So when I was ordering from Look Beauty I knew I had to pick this lovely colour up! Like all of the shades in the 'Statement eyes' range 'Luxe' comes housed a stylish clear container which looks like it could take a beating or two. The shade itself is lovely, I wouldn't wear in during the day because it is rather glittery (even for me) but I'm happy I discovered it in time for the Olympics and see myself getting a lot of use out of it! 

You can pick this up online here or in selected Superdrug stores for just £4!

Undressed - Eyeshadow Palette

This palette has caused a bit of a stir in the amongst beauty bloggers lately, and I can see why - The range of colours is stunning and a proud addition anyone's make up bag. The words 'Naked Palette' have been thrown around a lot by pretty much everyone reviewing this baby and its pretty obvious why when there is such a resemblance between the pair. Its seems this wasn't a mistake on MUA's part - Naked, Undressed - I see what they did there!

I cant compare this to the Naked palette personally because I don't own it, I do however feel that this is a great alternative at a low price based on swatches I have seen of the pair.

Like the 'Going for Gold palette' , Undressed comes complete with labelled shades and a mini master-class to give users ideas on how to use the palette

How impressive is that bottom row?! I'm in love with shades six, eight and nine!

The undressed palette is available now in selected Superdrug stores and  at muastore.co.uk where it will only set you back £4!

Warm Pro Mini Eyeshadow Palette

I thought I'd share a few images of this little bargain, I picked it up for just £3.75 on ELF's Website- and I'm so glad I did, Here's why..

Such a great mix of warm colours, I was very impressed by the second row- Such a lovely mix of browns.
I was really surprised by the pigmentation of the shadows- after swatching the first row I wasn't really expecting much- But it really improved thoughout the palette..Overall I love this palette, I cant say I see myself using all of the colours, although there are a good few I cant wait to use!

Eye ♥ Hello Kitty Smoky Eye Kit!

I picked this little cutie up while sale shopping the other day- I just couldn’t resist! Everything right down to the packaging of this product is lovely. And at just £6, It was as cheap as chips!

I apologise for the image over load now, It’s just too pretty!

 The shadows go on quite nicely and are well worth the £6 price tag!

My personal favourite has to be Nude:

I also love the brush you get with it- I wasn’t expecting it to be so soft!

Natural Collection Duo Eyeshadow

While looking at the Natural collection products, I also picked this little beauty up;

For only £1.99, you get two eyeshadows, (Mocha/latte) both great colours!

Despite my love of browns, I have found myself using the creamy/white eyeshadow more.
It gives my eyes a more 'alive' look, which I love!
Another great product that has earned its way into my make up bag !
