Urban Decay Ammo 2 Palette

This palette has been around for years and I didn’t really have any interest in it, until they re-vamped and re-launched it! The newest version has already been around for a few years and I still told myself NO, but this year I finally caved in and bought it.
The design of this palette is very small and compact, but it does have some weight to it. It is made of a hard cardboard type material and it is a slightly gunmetal silver shade with purple detailing. It has a magnetic closure and when you open it, a small mirror is revealed. Inside the palette there are ten mini eyeshadows and a small eyeshadow brush. Separate to the palette, but included in the set is a mini primer potion.
The ten mini eyeshadows are 0.8g and are of the amazing quality Urban Decay is renowned for. They are velvety soft, pigmented and blend really well. There is also a good shade selection in this palette and the brighter shades are not too out there, so the selection is perfect for the safe neutral lover like me.
Smog - deep copper w/bronze shimmer
Mildew - mossy green shimmer w/golden undertones
Oil Slick - deep matte black w/silver glitter
Last Call - metallic plum purple
Chopper - copper shimmer w/silver glitter
Maui Wowie - metallic golden beige w/silver glitter
Shattered - turquoise shimmer w/gold shift
Polyester Bride - snow white shimmer w/silver glitter
Grifter - sheer lavender shimmer w/silver glitter
Sin - champagne shimmer

The brush you get is a mini Good Karma Eyeshadow Brush, which is very flat and dense and enables you to pack eyeshadow onto your lids. I have several sizes of this brush from other UD palettes and I love them! You get a mini travel size (3.7ml) of Primer Potion in the original shade. This is a great primer and the packaging is lovely.

I really like this palette. It has the perfect balance of shades for me and I like that they are not full sized. The brush is great, but I do prefer a fluffier brush to apply eyeshadow on my lids. I love the primer! Overall a good buy and a way to try more UD eyeshadow shades.

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),...
