EOTD; the Kat Von D 10th Anniversary eyeshadow palette...


The Kat Von D 10th Anniversary eyeshadow palette sold out very quickly after it's original launch in May [within a month], but I recently noticed that the Debenhams site have replenished their stock of it - whenever the brand has called something limited edition in the past they've meant it, so I don't know if they've just found an extra case of them in their warehouse, or something.

Anyway; I just wanted to share a recent look I did wearing shadows from this palette and just let people who missed out on the palette the first time know that they've got another chance to pick it up...

Christmas is coming... The Chocolate Heart eye and face gift set (by I ❤ Revolution).

A closer look at... CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!! 


I was all giddy when I saw that Superdrug's Christmas gift range has gone live on their site, so I just had to go ahead and buy a little something. I picked out one of Revolution's sets because I have come to really enjoy their products recently and the brand falls under the 30% off perk, if you have a Staff Family & Friends discount card. 

I really enjoy most of the Revolution highlighters that  I've tried, but the set of five heart-shaped ones was out of stock when I had some spare money to spend, so I turned to the brand's other outstanding product - their eyeshadow palettes.

Lets get Armed and Gorgeous from The Vault [by Morphe].

Curiosity has gotten the better off me again... I ordered the Morphe x Jaclyn Hill complete collection of The Vault eyeshadow palettes on their (rescheduled) day of release to see what all the drama was about.

The Armed & Gorgeous palette seemed to be the main one in The Vault collection that people were having the most problems with and caused everything to be pulled the first time, so that was the fist palette I started using. I've now worn every shade in the reformulated palette at least twice before giving my opinion, and now my verdict is in...

A closer look at... The Imogenation eyeshadow palette [by Revolution].

A friend works for Superdrug and gave me a Family & Friends Beauty Club card and Revolution is one of the brand's that falls under the 30% off perk, which is just the excuse I needed to continue my exploration into the brand's series of collaboration products - maybe I'm just kidding myself, but the collaboration ranges seem to be of a higher quality compared to their regular lines,  and I feel that since I happen to have so many anyway, I may as well collect them all, bit by bit. I mean, don't we all have a inner collecter,who influences our buying decisions?


Today I want to focus on Revolution's second palette with British YouTuber Imogenation, since I've just dedicated a post to her first Revolution palette - she is behind the Highlight To The Moon face palette that was released at the same time as this one. I really enjoy Highlight To The Moon (I've just  hit pan on one of the powders!), so I have high hopes for her eyeshadow palette too...

[here's my standard disclaimer; I'd never heard of Imogenation before buying this palette, so having a certain name attached to it means nothing to me].

A closer look at... the Highlight To The Moon face palette [by Revolution]...

After finding Revolution's Beauty Legacy palette and deciding that I really like an multi-use palette to simplify my everyday routine, I went back to their site to look at their other face palettes to look at their other options...


Revolution's highlighters are one of the products that I think that the brand does best, so it's no surprise that Highlight To The Moon is the palette that I zeroed in one.


 Is it just as handy as Beauty Legacy, or is it a impulse-buy too far?

We were Born To Run (with Urban Decay)...

Hello Urban Decay, it's been a while since I've been excited to see you. You see, your move from fun and out-the-box to Naked and safe with the same style of Christmas palettes much of the time, has been boringly uninspiring to the point that I stopped paying attention to you.
However, we do have a long history together, so I'm back again, to see if the spark is still there...

Two palettes, one look: Fenty Beauty [Mimosa Sunrise/Sangria Sunset Killawatt Foil duo] and Morphe [the Jaclyn Hill palette].


I've worn the stunning magenta and tangerine shades from the Fenty Mimosa Sunrise/Sangria Sunset Killawatt Foil duo on my eyes a fair few times now, but I tend to just wear the two shades alone rather then overshadowing the shades by pulling in other shadows from elsewhere. 


However the weather over here [the North West of England] has been more overcast and chilly first thing in the morning for a few weeks now, so I now want to take a few of my favourite shades from the Morphe Jaclyn Hill palette, to try to carry the two summery shades from the Killawatt duo into the beginning of the autumn season.
