This eyeshadow palette was included in my goodie bag when I attended the #bbloggersxmas event and boy oh boy was I delighted to see it in there! Ever since I have challenged myself to be more colourful with my eye make up. 

The first thing I loved about this palette was the packaging.  I am quite easy to please when it comes to packaging I like very simple designs like Mac and Nars, so this is right up my street.  Im not a fan of over complicated packaging and really dont like white plastic packaging.  It is really sturdy too definately doesnt feel flimsy which I have found with other drugstore brands eyeshadow palettes.

I love the mix of shimmer and glitter finishes because you can create quite a dramatic look with very little product.  Every single shade is soo pigmented its unreal, some are so pigmented it took a lot of blending to get a look I felt confident wearing.  If I could change one thing about this palette it would be to have bigger pans, or even if they were square so you had more room to swirl your brush about.

 I love the names of the shades as I think it explains them really well.  The three shades that caught my eye first were Festive, Mulled Wine and Mistletoe.   I have created some looks using my favourite shades from this palette and I was so impressed with the results as they were all created with very minimal effort due to the texture and pigmentation of these gorgeous shadows.

 Which look is your favourite and please let me know which other shades you would like used on my eyes?

Hi hunni's

 

I wanted to share with you what I was wearing to kick off 2013.  I felt really comfortable wearing this outfit and enjoyed dressing up a simple outfit with accessories. This whole outfit was also completely new and I always feel really good wearing something new. You may notice a couple of things from my What I got for Christmas post too.

 

For New Years Eve Adam and myself went up to the local social club with his family, it was a good night, couple of live singers, disco, fireworks and plenty of drinks.  I do not enjoy going out in town for New Years Eve as I think you always end up missing the clock strike 12 and I prefer to be with the people I love and care about, might sound like a right granny to some people but thats just me.
