 Product Summary: Created to suit different skin tones and eye colours, the nude medium palette is a rich mix of spicy tones combining chestnuts and deep browns. Featuring metallic shimmers in warm yellow and rose gold tones, rustic copper, dusty pink, coral and unique terracotta shades. Full price: $44 but I bought it on sale for $22.  ***Cruelty free*** It comes to no surprise that I absolutely love this color story! Definitely, right up my alley. I love the matte and metallic shades! The entire color story just works well together and it's easy to mix and match the different eyeshadows to always have a beautiful eye look. It really is low effort on making them work together.  I have a love/hate relationship with the metallic/shimmer eyeshadows. I love how pigmented they are, however, whether I am using a makeup brush or my finger the shadow starts to crumble and it get everywhere. If I'm not careful when I apply it on my lids it will get everywhere on my under eyes and...

 Product Summary: Amp up your glow with this metallic pigment palette. Light reflecting metallics in light pink, peach and bronze are perfect for highlighting cheekbones, inner eyes and brow bone. Chrome, gold and foiled ruby add bold pops of unexpected color to any look and can be applied as highlight, eyeshadow and even blush. Soft, pigmented formula blends seamlessly into skin for an eye catching, amped up metallic sheen. Cost: $9.  ***Not cruelty free*** I have had this Sephora palette collecting dust for I don’t know how long now. It seemed like a great deal at the time, 6 pigments for only $9. However, it looked ‘boring’ in comparison to other eyeshadow palettes I have reviewed in the past. But man was I so wrong! I have been easing closer to palettes with multiple uses for both eyes and the face. This palette is absolutely amazing! Especially, the shades!  The bottom row I like to mix all the shades together and apply it on my cheekbones. I can use this palette as ...

 Product summary: This palette features the perfect combo of rich and warm, wearable mattes and lustrous shimmers in universally flattering lid, crease, and liner shades. The powder formula is infused with Tarte’s signature Amazonian clay for intense payoff, long wear, and creamy texture. The palette is arranged in rows of three for easy looks to mix and match. Cost: $61 but I bought it on sale at Sephora for $38.25. ***Cruelty free*** I think by now it’s obvious that I have a thing for nudes/neutral eyeshadows. And the toasted palette is no different. It’s right up my alley and was a dream to use. The shadows are buttery soft, extremely pigmented and lasts all day!  The shadows blend together nicely and you can achieve any look from a natural look to a full glam look fairly easily. Evidently from the picture below, I gravitated towards a more natural/warm look just because I find it looks better and I don’t like having to spend so much time on doing my makeup.  Rating: I...

 Product Summary: Glow cream base is hydrating, luminous, cream highlighter to give skin the ultimate lit from within, radiant glow. Super glow is a super soft highlighting powder that gives skin an intense, ethereal, glass like glow. This lightweight formula contours with levels of crushed and milled chroma crystals mixed with crushed pearls. Glow impact powder is a multidimensional, metallic highlighting powder with a HD finish and a velvety smooth texture. Blush and bronze powder is a powder with a smooth, velvety texture that melts into the skin for seamless shaping, effortless blending and maximum comfort. Cost: full price is $80 but I got it on sale for $51.80  ***Cruelty free*** This is my second purchase of a Natasha Denona palette and like expected it was absolutely amazing! I don't have many bronzers, as demonstrated on my blog. I mostly use highlighters and blush. See? I am trying to expand my bronzer collection and trying new ones. In reality, there is only one bro...

Product Summary: 18 gorgeous shades ranging from cool to warm tones, including 10 buttery mattes that blend seamlessly with your skin, 4 multi-reflective shadows with a versatile pearly to iridescent finish, 2 pressed glitters for an opulent touch, 1 pressed pearl for a velvety shine, 1 concealer base to make your shadows pop. From a minimalist, I-woke-up-like-this look to a show stopping iridescent lid, this eyeshadow palette is your new must have to enhance your beauty on any occasion.  Cost: Full price $86 but I bought it on sale at sephora for $43.  ***Cruelty free*** This is my first Huda Beauty product and I'm disappointed. I expected better, especially, when their palettes almost cost $90. One of my biggest issues is the fallout. Whether I'm picking up product with my brush or the wear throughout the day it gets everywhere! The glitter and shimmer shades are the worst to deal with. The glitter and shimmer shades end up all around my eyes and don't stay put. And if I ...

 Product Summary: The glamingo face palette features a blissful selection of colorfully-feminine blushes and bronzers, as well as blindingly-glowing highlighters. Inspired by the beautiful colours of the tropics, this collection of travel must have shades is everything you need for any event. Full price is $60 but I bought it on sale at Sephora for $30.  ***Cruelty free*** This has surprisingly been a fun palette to play with! It's hard to find a palette where I can use all the shades for what they are intended for and I'm happy to say that has changed with this palette.  This palette is best to use during the summer because that's when I can use all the shades. This past winter I've stuck to using the two blushes as well as the highlighter (white sand) they are the more flattering shades to use while I'm at my palest.  I love that this palette is so versatile, you have warm and cool tone shades. They are multifunctional, you can use this palette to do your face mak...

Product Summary: Get your colour fix from 8 tasty shadows that arm you up like a hot latte on a cool morning. There's no jitter, only glitter (and creamy perfection) from these gorgeous shades that keep you going long past morning. Bought this palette on sale for $25. ***Cruelty free*** When I first used this palette I was a little bit nervous that the lightest shade Kool Whip would be too light but it works amazingly on the lid. It has a tiny bit of sheen which you wouldn't notice unless you swatch it. I love using Kool Whip to brighten and open my eyes. It just looks so good. All these shades are extremely pigment and blend really well individually and together.  There is some fallout if you pick up too much product so just pick up a little bit of product and if needed you can build the colour up. All these colours work together so well. You can pair up any 2 colours and they will work well together. It's super easy to create a quick eye look and be on the go to start you...

 Product Summary: Show off that flirty side all season long with this playful palette. Shimmering nudes mix and mingle with blushing berries for a glam good-time. Take full advantage of these sultry shades and show everyone that less can truly mean more. Cost: $34 but I bought it on sale from Sephora for $24. ***Cruelty free*** This is my first Morphe product and eyeshadow palette from them. I'm so happy I bought this palette because it's so versatile and easy to use. It has a nice combination of neutral, pink and purple shadows. There's enough diversity that you can make a lot of different eye looks that range from natural, glamorous and evening looks. If you're starting out and want to build a palette collection this is a great one to start with. This is one of the few palettes that I love reaching for and I don't think I'll store away in a drawer like I have with other palettes I've reviewed in the past.  The pigmentation is absolutely amazing, it's l...

Product Summary: The sweet peach eyeshadow palette is infused with the juicy scent and antioxidant rich essence of peach. Create endless looks with 18 shades of peachy pinks, corals, bronzes, and pops of purples that will leave your eyes looking summer fresh all year long. Costs: $65.  ***Cruelty free*** I have been obsessed with Too Faced and their iconic eyeshadow palettes and their packaging. This is my first ever eyeshadow palette from Too Faced and I am in love! I do have their Sugar Peach face palette which of course I adore. The packing is amazing, smells fantastic and the blushes and highlighters made my face look extremely glowy. An absolute delight! And I'm happy that it continues on with this eyeshadow palette.  First off, love the colour story. You can easily do a natural look, full glam and dark sultry look. These shades are extremely pigmented (as can be seen from the swatches above) and they blend out really well. Not only that but if you are using multiple shad...

 Product Summary:  A wet and dry face and eye palette that gives you a healthy glow with even more versatility. These four pearlescent powders can be used separately or mixed together for a customized color. This palette features a soft and creamy pressed powder formula that can be used all over you face and eyes to create limitless looks. Dry for a soft glow and wet for an intensified, luminous finish. Infused with peach & sweet fig milk. Full price is $55 but I bought it on sale for $33.  ***Cruelty free 👍❤***    As you've seen from the products I've reviewed, I'm more of a blush and highlight kind of gal. Bronzer and contour is not really my thing. As soon as I opened this palette I almost cried tears of joy. As you can see from the picture below, this palette is gorgeous and so darn beautiful! It makes me want to cover my entire face with it. Which I come close to doing. My face is like a cute little glazed donut. As soon as I got my hands on this palet...

This limited edition eyeshadow palette contains 32 shadows that include everyday neutrals, smoky, highlighting shades and bright pops of colour, This palette is essential for beginners and makeup artists alike. The center shades are perfect for everyday use while the surrounding shades are great for smoky looks and pops of colour. This palette costs $32 but is valued at $180. Below you can see all 32 shades from the palette swatched. I will say that some of the more neutral and lighter shades are harder to see on my skin but I did try to pack up the colour for it to be noticeable. If there are some that you cannot see you can check further down this post to see a picture of the palette itself. ****I'm not sure if this palette is cruelty free or not because Sephora took down the information for the palette before I could write down the information. If I'm not mistaken a good chunk of the Sephora collection is cruelty free (at least all the items I've purchased so far). ...

This limited edition  +Sephora  collection palette costs $38 and contains 72 eyeshadows, 18 cream eyeliners, 32 lip-glosses and six blushes. A total of 128 eye, lip and cheek colours for an infinite number of looks. For more on Sephora's collection you can check out their  website here. I bought this palette to spoil myself for my 20th birthday and I wanted a palette that had variety for whenever I want to do fantasy makeup looks and for everyday makeup wear as well. I also wanted more for my buck. So, that's why I also wanted this palette. Plus, I've noticed not many people have reviewed this palette. Guess the beauty community hasn't hyped up this palette yet. Or ever will hype it up. I do find it a bit annoying that there are no names on the shades but I can live with that.  ***This Sephora Collection Palette was not tested on animals👍*** Blushes: They are extremely pigmented so I had to use a light hand while applying the blushes to my cheeks. Th...
