CARGO Let's Meet In Paris Palette

I was browsing FeelUnique and came across this palette and I had no idea it existed! I am in love with anything French/Parisian, so I just had to have this palette.
The design is very French and classy. It has a black fabric covering with a gold damask chandelier print all over it, which covers the whole palette. It has a magnetic flip opening, which reveals a mirror and a black plastic base which houses twelve eyeshadows. Also included inside the palette is a dual ended eyeshadow brush.
The eyeshadows are very pigmented and soft. Each one is 0.8g and there is a mixture of different shades and finishes. You have very wearable shades and then pops of colour. Even though they are much pigmented, I would still use an eye primer because it will just add to the pigmentation and quality.
MACARON - metallic light gold shimmer
EIFFEL TOWER - true metallic gold
LOUVRE - metallic blue based silver
CRÈME BRÛLÉE - metallic gold copper
BONJOUR - dark brown with gold glitter
CAFÉ - dark chocolate brown with gold glitter
BAGUETTE - soft matte beige
CROISSANT - duo chrome brown with green hue
VERSAILLES - dark metallic forest green with glitter
MADAME - dark metallic purple with glitter
BASTILLE - metallic gunmetal with glitter
BERET - smoky metallic black with glitter
The brush included is dual ended, with one end being a slanted eyeliner brush and the other being a small shading brush. It is a very handy inclusion in this palette.

I love the design of this palette so much and the eyeshadow names are so cute. The design is simply beautiful and you get a good mixture of eyeshadows. They are also decently sized and the only disappointment is the shade Bastille, which barely swatched at all and it has a strange texture which is different to the other eleven, so I would call this the dud shade of this otherwise stunning palette. The brush is quite handy, but I prefer using my favourite eye brushes. The magnetic fastening is very sturdy and the overall palette feels very durable. The inside plastic base can get dirty, but you can clean this with a small damp cotton bud if you like.

Overall this is a great palette and it is extremely versatile. In truth I probably wouldn’t get much use out of it, but the Parisian theme just sold it for me. As I was quite late getting this palette,  I don’t believe it is widely available anymore.

Empties #10 - August & September 2013

I have combined two month’s worth of empties again. At the end of August my box wasn’t that full, so I decided to carry on collecting and hope I use up more stuff. The majority of stuff I used up was necessities as usual, but there are some extra bits too. Here is what I managed to use up within two months:- Morrisons So Clear Dual Action Moisturiser | 100ml I have used another tube of this and have already re-purchased it. It works really well and doubles as a hand cream and most importantly, it is very inexpensive. Price - £1.49 Listerine Total Care Mouthwash in Clean Mint (Purple) | 500ml This is my favourite mouthwash and I have already re-purchased it. Although I get it for around £2.99, I still wish it was cheaper. Price - £4.60 Right Guard Women Total Defence 5 48H Invisible Power Anti-Perspirant Deodorant | 150ml + 250ml I have used more of these as usual and I still haven’t found anything that is better. I have however found a cheaper place to buy it f...

Oden's Eye Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette

I first heard of this indie brand through watching Angelika Oles’ beauty channel on YouTube. Oden’s Eye is a Swedish indie brand and they make Norse mythology themed products. This is one of two eyeshadow palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching highlighter palettes.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and rectangular in shape. It is made out of cardboard and it has a sort of textured covering (like on pogs). The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Solmåne means the sun and moon in Swedish. Sol represents the Sun Goddess and Måne represents the Moon God. Both Gods are represented on the packaging. There is a colour split of warm and cool toned shades (lavender, pink, orange & yellow) along with moon, star and Norse symbols. The wheel around the Gods is metallic gold, so it really reflects the light when you move the palette around. The eyeshadow shade names are printed on the back of the palette. The palette has a magnetic closing/opening, ...

Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Palette

I first saw a preview of this palette in early August on the Trendmood Instagram page. I just knew I had to have it. I also own and love the Gingerbread Spice and Gingerbread Extra Spicy Palettes by Too Faced. These are the only types of holiday palettes that actually interest me from Too Faced. All of their other holiday palettes tend to be gimmicky (but pretty looking) and not good quality. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a rounded rectangular shaped tin in a beautiful pumpkin orange colour. The design on the front kind of looks like spread on a cracker. The name of the palette is printed in two different raised fonts. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The little rectangular eyeshadow pans are arranged across a metallic gold base, with the shade names printed in a small black font above each pan. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid of the palette. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.70g eyeshadows in Matte (M),...
