Underrated products // Gosh eye shadow palette

Hello darlings,

Happy Tuesday, what have you guys been up to today? I've just had a chill day, house work, gardening, running errands etc, which has been really nice. Today's post is the latest instalment of my underrated products series, i'm loving writing this series, my last one was the Collection highlighter stick, link. today product is a palette from GOSH. I love GOSH makeup, i feel its a brand that is not hugely talked about, at least not that i seeing. Its a affordable, vegan and cruelty free, which is brilliant. I received this eye shadow palette which is called 005 To Party in London, from work a few years ago. I think its so beautiful, great palette for every occasion. 

Its a lovely compact palette that is shiny and sleek looking. The palette has a really good sized mirror in the lid. Its all shimmer and glitter shadows that are some of the most pigmented shadows i own. There is also a good range of colours, you have neutrals, warm and cool shades. I think there is a colour for everyone, whether its a day time look or a evening look. The shadows are creamy, smooth and blend beautifully. 

The only down side is there is no shade names and no mattes so i couldn't solely use this palette on its own as i need a matte base and a matte crease. But overall its such a pretty palette! 

You can buy it from Superdrug here for £11.99

I'd love to know have you tried this palette? Or any of the GOSH eye shadow palettes?

The Kat Von D Shade and Light Palette: REVIEW AND SWATCHES

Hello darlings

Sorry i haven't posted in a few days, i've been in hospital but me and the baby are fine, we are home now and i'm full of motivation!

A couple weeks ago it was my 22nd birthday and my gorgeous boyfriend Will bought me this Kat Von D Eye Shadow Palette. I was so happy to get it but it was a bit of an out of the blue present as i hadn't mentioned or dropped any hints about what i wanted for my birthday. I had wanted to try Kat Von D makeup for ages but i'd enver brought it up or if i had i didn't think he would have a clue what i was talking about. I think i got this palette because Will fancy's Kat Von D a little (how could you not shes gorgeous!) and he had heard she had a makeup line and as i'm obsessed with makeup he thought i'd like one! Haha. bless him. But nonetheless i'm so pleased he got it for me. 

Packaging: Its quite heavy, it was the first thing i noticed when i unwrapped it, which automatically made me think quality. Its a gorgeous black palette, my favourite colour, it stand outs and doesn't look like anything i own. Theres a mirror in the lid which is always good for travelling.

Cruelty Free: The first thing i remembered about Kat Von D makeup is that its cruelty free! Which is brilliant and i'm so happy that a brilliant palette like this can be achieved without testing on animals, it shows it can done so other brands should take note! Although i am aware that there are many brand out there which are anti-animal testing. 

Shadows: It says 12 matte eye shadows but i'd say there was 10 as two do have a little shimmer. Which are great for brow bone. The shades are split into 3 quads, L to R, neutral, cool, warm. Each quad contains a base, a contour, a define and highlighter shade. But you can mix and match the quads to create your own looks. It has every shade you could want, every variation of brown and it matches all skin tones. You could use them for your eyebrows too and it would suit more than one shade of brows. The larger shades wont hit pan easily they are a really good size, this palette will last a long time. You can create natural or smokey or really dramatic eyes.

Shadows Cont: The shades are pigmented, they are very creamy when you put your brush into them, Which makes them easy to apply and blend. The only shade that disappointed me what Shax the black shade, i feel i have much more pigmented black shades for a fraction of the price in other palettes. But i do rarely wear black eye shadows i tend to use a felt eyeliner so to me its not an issue. 

Overall i think this is a great for a beginners palette and also for makeup lovers, especially if you are a lover of matte eye shadows. 

You can purchase it here for £36

I'd love to know have you tried this palette?

Bargain of the week: Essence Single Eye Shadow

Hello darlings

Today is my bargain of the week i need to start doing this on a specific day and make it a series, let me know what you guys think. Although i did buy this essence single eye shadow in 'All I Need' a few months back i feel that not many people in the beauty community talk about Essences single eye shadows so i thought i'd write a quick post about how much i love them. They are amazing and are only £1! I think their single eye shadows are so much better than their palettes. 

As usual i'll start of with packaging, its simple and cheap for for £1 what do you expect. But it is sturdy it feels well made. You get 1.8g which is a decent amount. The pigmentation is incredible, even lightly swatched the colour is beautiful. I find they are long lasting even without a eye primer. Its creamy and blends so beautifully. Without seeing the packaging you'd think you were using an Urban Decay shadow. It can be used as an all over shadow it works beautifully for that as a stand alone colour but i like to use it as my inner corner highlight. 

Dupe for Stila kitten which i have in my Eyes Are The Window Spirit palette. I must buy more of these and only £1 they don't break the bank!

You can buy it here

I'd love to know have you tried this eye shadow or any of the Essence single shadows?
