PERFECT PALETTE'S

Hello,

So as the first post I have done for a while, I thought that I would show you and give you a review of two eyeshadow palettes that I have received lately.

The two palettes I am going to be reviewing today are the 'Naked 3' palette created by Urban Decay and the 'Girls On Film' palette created by Revolution. I kindly received them both as gifts. My 'Naked 3' palette was given to me by my mum and dad for christmas and the 'Girl On Film' palette was given to me by my friend for christmas.

These two palettes have some colours that are similar but the 'Naked 3' is more gold, pinky toned and the 'Girls On Film' has a lot more range of colours. 'Urban Decay' is a more high end make-up brand whereas 'Revolution' is drugstore and can be purchased in Superdrug. Although there is a difference in price, I was pleased with the pigmentation of the 'Revolution' palette. Through earlier experiences with drugstore eyeshadow I did not know how this was going to be. I am impressed with this palette and I have to say that it is going to be a firm keeper in my make-up collection. The 'Naked 3' lives up to all the good reviews I have read. The pigmentation is better than the other palette but I was expecting that. The eyeshadow stays on until you remove it and there is hardly any fall out. That can be annoying when halfway through the day you have eyeshadow under your eyes.

The packaging differs between the two. The 'Naked 3' feels tough, long lasting and protective. I have carried this around in my bag and suitcase and it has not become damaged. It is a gold/bronze colour with ripples running through it. On the other hand, the packaging containing the other eyeshadows feels cheaper. I feel like it is still protective but not as safe as the 'Urban Decay' packaging. The 'Naked 3' is more tin like whereas the other is more plastic. It has a glossy shine to it.

The 'Girls On Film' shimmer eyeshadows are more pigmented than the matte eyeshadows. Both of the palettes contain a mixture of shimmer and matte which is a lovely combination.

From top to bottom, left to right the colours are - Give Me Shudders, Bridge At Midnight, Waking Hand In Hand, Shooting Star, Lights Flashing, Heads Turning, One In A Million, Frenzy All Down Your Side, Camera Rolling, So Bright, Lipstick Over The Lens, Take Your Picture, She's Falling, Smile Wider, Polaroid Heaven, Girls On Film, Hold Tight, Made A Million. The matte shades are on the left in the circles and shimmers on the right.

This palette came with a two ended sponge brush, unlike the 'Naked' palette which came with a two ended bristle brush. One end flat and the other more fluffy.

I love that these two palettes can be used together to create a soft or edgy look.

Colours from left to right - Strange, Dust, Burnout, Limit, Buzz, Trick, Nooner, Liar, Factory, Mugshot, Darkside, Blackheart.

I have currently being using these two palettes to create a natural look that I have been wearing everyday. I will write you a little tutorial of how I do this.

This mainly consists of matte shades being the base and shimmer being on the top.

1. I apply 'Limit' on the whole of my lid.
2. Blend 'Nooner' in the crease.
3. Apply 'Buzz' in the middle of the eye.
4. Then I put 'Factory on the outside edge and blend it in.
5. After put 'Dust' and 'Strange' in the inner corner, to brighten up your eyes.
6. After I blend a tiny bit of 'Lipstick Over The Lens' (Revolution palette) into the outside edge of my eye and blend it out.

This creates a subtle and bronze smokey everyday natural eye look.

I am rounding this blog post up and I have realised how much I like taking the photos and writing this blog. I hope you will come and read next time. I have not yet set a schedule of when I am going to be writing these blog posts but hopefully there should be at least one a week. Today I have taken many photos of what I am going to be writing about.
