EOTD: Ring The Alarm, by Morphe/Jaclyn Hill.

For this autumnal/Halloween look, I decided to try again with a palette that I wasn't keen on, in the hope that different primer, a different technique and different brushes, will make a difference on my overall opinions of the palette...

I was thinking of the fallen leaves on pathways when trick or treating as a child, when it came to the shade selections for today's look.

I do this 3-shade blend quite a lot in my regular life, so made it feel a bit new and different by taking the shades a bit higher and wider around my upper eyes, and then taking the shades around my lower lashes too. 

My opinions on this palette haven't changed; the shadow formulas are so soft, that the shades muddy and bleed together.  I used a different brush for every shade (yes - they were clean), but can you even tell that three shades were used & that two of them are orange tones?! 

I didn't get rid of this palette during my declutter because I think of The Vault as a set & I didn't want to separate the palettes in it, but I'll have to rethink that stance on the next declutter, as I don't enjoy using my Ring The Alarm & I've never been impressed by my looks whenever I've used it - my palette is from the ill-fated Vault relaunch though, so if you bought the palette now, then the formula should have been improved upon.
