Product Summary: Naked Heats up. Get lit with 12 can't live without, amber-hued naturals including warm browns, burnt oranges and rich siennas. From a super smooth red-brown matter and a glimmering copper to a deep, shift bronze, this palette has everything you need to create sultry daytime looks, intensely smoky nighttime looks and everything in between. Cost: Full price is $70 but I bought it on sale from Sephora for $38.50   ***Cruelty Free*** This palette is right up my alley! I love this kind of color story with browns and reds. It's absolutely perfect for the summer months while being dark enough for the autumn time when the weather gets colder.  I've been learning new ways to do my makeup instead of doing the same eye look; having a shimmer shade on my lids and matte colors on my crease. Prior to learning new ways to do my makeup I would have found this palette too dark, especially, for everyday wear. I would have thought a single light shimmery shade wouldn't be...

 Product Summary: This sexy, sparkling, Pumpkin pie-scented eye shadow palette features 18 warm and spicy shades in a  variety of finishes that will make transitioning form your morning PSL's to your favourite fall late night snack as easy as pie! Cost: Around $60 but I bought it on sale from Sephora for $34.  ***Cruelty Free*** Here is another eye shadow palette review for a Too Faced palette. I've reviewed a few of their palettes so far and I'm happy to write that I am beyond happy with the Pumpkin Spice Second Slice palette. As we have all seen if you have been following my blog and reviews that I am a sucker for natural/ warm eyeshadows. So naturally, this palette became a favourite of mine quite quickly.  As per usual, another fantastic palette from Too Faced that hits it out of the park for me. It has amazing pigmentation, long-lasting staying power and again their formula is so easy to use and takes very little effort to put together an amazing eye look. ...

 Product Summary: Inspired by the warm, sultry, sexy sun-kissed skin of beach babes frolicking in the surf and sound of Malibu, these 16 rich, creamy, highly-pigmented modern nudes range from flattering to sultry matte, metallic, shimmer, and sparkle shades for looks so naturally alluring, they'll think you were born in L.A.! Cost: Full price $70 however, I bought it on sale from Sephora for $33.  ***Cruelty free*** Despite Too Faced having a sub-par reputation and a history of being problematic I have always loved their palettes and have taken advantage in buying their products on sale. This is another palette of theirs that I have thoroughly enjoyed. I am never a fan of the full price tag, hence, why I only buy them on sale because dishing out $33 is a hell of a lot more manageable than $70.  As per usual, I am a fan of the natural/nude eyeshadows. I love the pigmentation and love the colour pay off. They are easy to work with and they blend extremely well. Starting fro...

Product Summary: Phoenix Rising eyeshadow palette is filled with 12 long-wearing and highly pigmented, fiery, warm toned shades. These warm matte, shimmer, and satin eyeshadows colours are created using soft textured pigments that provide the formula with a luxuriously smooth, creamy, and blendable application. Cost: $36 ***cruelty free*** I have become extremely predictable when it comes to eyeshadow palettes. Give me a beautiful nude/neutral palette and I am all over it. My boyfriend remarked that I have so many palettes with the same shades and even though he’s right I’m never going to stop buying eyeshadow palettes. Especially, if they’re on sale!  There’s a good mix of shimmer and matte eyeshadows. You can have a natural look all the way to a dark smoky look. I love how easily all the shadows blend and they are beyond pigmented! There isn’t any fall out and there’s amazing colour payoff. However, I’m not happy with the packaging. I have no issue with it being made with cardboa...

 Product Summary: A blazing-hot collection of 20 trending warm rust hues in Violet Voss's top-rated professional formulas and superb finishes. This palette was created with universally flattering warm rust neutrals and coordinating hues that compliment each other flawlessly. Cost: Full price $60 but I bought it on sale for $30.  ***Cruelty free*** This has easily become one of my favourite palettes! While we quickly head into the fall season, this warm rust/neutral palette is the perfect add on to any makeup routine. It has become evident by the last couple of palette review I've done that I am definitely a neutrals girl. I love the red and orange colours!  I have no complaints with this palette. It's easy to blend, the colours last all day and I have no fallout during the application process. To any of my girlies out there that want a new palette just in time for the fall I 100% recommend this one! You wont be disappointed.  Rating: I think it's obvious this is gett...

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 ...

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...

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...

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). ...
