MAC Fabulousness Eye Kit (Holiday Collection).

Hello! Just a quick post as i am fully aware that this is no longer available online. Although i did spot some on sale (few pound off) in Selfridges literally a few days ago so run, quick. 
This is basically a cute little eyeshadow palette with three larger colours, two smaller ones and a little brush in a handy little case with a mirror. Very cute. There are different variations, you can still grab the 'Warm' variation online now (not this one!) here.

I have the Neutral palette containing eyeshadows: Magical Mist, Blonde Mink, Brun, Enviable, Smut. All are lovely, pigmented colours that are easy to wear. I know Burn and Smut are permanent MAC eyeshadows both of which i was overjoyed to get in this palette (especially Smut - that has been on my wishlist for months!).

As you can see, they're all lovely colours. I love how you can easily create a brown smokey eye and add a little bit of the blue (Enviable) for a pop of colour. I find myself reaching for this palette as it is so easy to use.

This was a lovely christmas present. Did you get anything from the MAC holiday collection?

MUA Heaven & Earth Palette!

After trying out MUA's amazing Undressed palette not long ago, and falling in love, i thought i'd add another neutral palette to my collection also by MUA. I'm sure you've probably heard of the Heaven & Earth Palette which is a 12 shade eyeshadow palette costing just £4. Bargain.

As you can see the palette has every neutral colour you will need, a mix of lights, darks, cools and warms.  My only criticism is the palette is mostly shimmery shades, so if your more of a matte lover i wouldn't recommend this palette. But if you like a little bit of glitter like me, then you will love this. 

You can use these shadows to create a subtle day look or really build them up (or use them wet) for an intense night time smokey eye. I love the dark browns smudged along the lower lashline. 

All the eyeshadows are very pigmented, soft to touch and blend really easily. Just as good as some higher end alternatives. You can't fault this handy, all in one palette. Great for on the go! And as for lasting power, with a primer (i haven't tired them without) last all day long.

All in all, i love this product. And teamed with my Undressed palette i have a whole collection of every neutral eyeshadow i will ever need, ever, for only £8. I love this when i'm need of a quick smokey eye as all the shades go together. It would definitely be perfect if it had shades names, oh MUA! But, i can put up with that minor fault for a good quality, cheap palette! 

You can get it online from the MUA website or from Superdrugs that stock MUA.

Have you tried this product? Do you love it as much as i do?
